They should fix the schedule time but long games need to be there. This has been a fantastic week anyway!

I'm sorry but I've read though this thread and I don't understand what this is about. Or that -$10,000 4chan post is about. Can someone explain?It was good for one on the runners but yeah.....

There are times for long and short games. A good mix is key. Constantly setting up for 20 or 30 minute games is a bit of a waste.

I don't know what the 4chan post is about, but that image's poking fun at one of the Super Metroid runners (Epic, iirc) dying ~20 minutes in and needing to quit
Well, this could be fixed by having two setups and staggering them.
Even so, I still love watching long runs.
Hopefully one day they'll have enough volunteers and sponsors to go to a tic-toc setup for runs.

Long games are fine because they are good to watch the first time.
They just need to break it up more, because after you have seen them you are not going to sit through it again, let alone three or four in a row.

It's been a blast. Sad there's no bonus steam this year, those are always my favorite part

Different strokes. Not looking for lets plays that just show off the full game, I can just play the game like that. But a long run like the OoT one there where it still uses glitches but gets everything are nice. Just saying. It's not that I hate glitch runs, I just don't really like any%s.
Also its kinda odd where there are a ton of games that aren't just huge glitched showcases to watch but are really popular to watch speedrun. It seems most of them are 2d sidescrollers though.

Ah. Okay. I haven't watched the SM runs yet.
Also, the 4chan thing (I guess it was 4chan) is that image that showed a credit of $10,000 followed by a refund of -$10,000. People were talking about it for a few posts but it never went further. I was just curious.
I haven't watched any of this live. I prefer the cached stuff so I sometimes have no idea what is going on when reading this thread because I never know what game is currently being run or talked about.

Yo shoutouts to AGDQ for another great year and to all the donors who helped reach the goal.
Can't express how happy I am, about them reaching 1.5 million US$.
Also, just LOL at the "poor" guy, who got raided.
Went to check his channel, viewers jumped from around 170 to 31k and now the chat is full of ascii spam.

it belongs in awful games done quick
There will be a bonus stream but I don't know when does it starts.
It's suggested to be fake, apparently it doesn't match the actual layout of a Paypal refund listing.

Also thank goodness Romscout does the closing now. I remember 2013 Mike talked for what seems like an eon giving shoutouts. It seriously had to go on for like 2 hours.

That was damn funny. They have since cut it pretty short.
Follow all the people you liked watching on their respective twitch pages.
Then enjoy their stuff until SGDQ 2015.Follow all the people you liked watching on their respective twitch pages.
I think this year I'll definately watch Blechy stream. I always love watching his runs whenever he does them at the DGQ events but I've never bothered to check out his stream.
Out of the ones I've seen, Battleblock Theatre has the best commentary by a mile. Partially because of the developers Skyping in.
Tetris.
