What was the inspirational story? I wasn't paying attention and missed it.

Important Notice: Every Wednesday RG will work on his 100% blindfolded run where he beats 100% of OoT (segmented, going on since a few months). This even includes the most ridiculous minigames that are really hard with blindfold. So make sure to tune in for that, its incredible

Great story. Blind from birth and managed to beat OoT. That was one of the best runs they've ever had.
from the SA thread (along with that choke pic earlier)
Bahahahahaha

A man blind since birth wanted to play OoT, so he reached out for help online. RG and a few other people routed the entire game for him and came up with strats for every single room so he could eventually beat the game in 2009. It inspired him to do this as well.

That was a joy to watch.
I need a gif of Link's lewd Deku stick bit with Ruto though. I laughed so hard at that for some reason.

Ahahaha that's pretty great.
Think they made like 300k during the final run of AGDQ 2014, so they should be fine.

That was an awesome run by RG.
Also I think that the amount on screen doesn't include the 100 000$ from Humble Bundle.
Unless they added it at some point tonight.
This won't end for another several hours. There is a worthwhile question regarding the momentum; among other reasons, the save/kill maybe burned a lot of "finale" spending, so they may not be able to get a repeat of last year's climax.
But they might do just fine, things do usually seriously spike at the end.
(Also, the Humble Bundle exists, so they might actually be "over $1M" already in a very real sense.)
I don't think the Humble Bundle or Twitch sub money is reflected in there yet.
Nice. Hopefully ZFG can rake in 170k total before the marathon ends!

Yeah, if they add other revenue sources, it is 1 million easy. 871k is only website donations.
Plus Twitch still owes $7,500 at least.

ZeldaFanGirl is a dude?
Humble Bundle.
Agreed. Loved coming home from work to this. At least there are plenty of VOD runs to catch up on

What if Zelda Fan Girl was a girl?
Sunshine was late at night and some don't like to watch 3 hour runs sadly. But it was a really great run with lots of fun commentary and dudududu.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
AGDQ14 started with a goal of $500,000 (after raking in ~$400,000 at AGDQ13) and they doubled it with $1,000,000. Nobody could believe it. Now it's pretty much set the bar for all future AGDQs.
Thanks, bruh! Had no idea there were stats recorded!

Dude 100% sucks in that game. 240 blue coins plus 100 coins every world.
