no one sleeps over GDQ marathons, come on now son.
I believe they print them after the event ends because you have to wait a few weeks to recieve it.
I see. I'll be fine then. Looking foward to this years events, it will be the first one I'm not working or studying as it happens.
Tuesday/Wednesday night is a fantastic line-up, probably the most interesting one for me, but I got two exams on Wednesday, what an amazing timing.

From that Tomba 2 run in SGDQ? From what I understand, runners usually have a prearranged posse sitting on the couch when they are running. That guy who was being awkward and annoying the Tomba 2 runner was not someone he knew.
Where did you hear that?
Thanks, this will be super useful.
The guy who will run Ground Zeroes said it yesterday on his practice stream. He will be on the couch and read donations but for runs he's not good enough.
Seriously wtf? elitist much?

Doesn't Bluegrass only run Ecco the Dolphin? Well, he already had a run in SGDQ last year so there's no real point in having him do it again.
but everyone loves Blueglass aka YSG. He wanted to do a run but got rejected because he's not good enough? that's not fair!
He's the heart of this event.
Same as Zledas, GTA, Metroid etc. It should still be able to do this run it is usually pretty good! SGDQ didn't go so well before but his previous runs have been pretty good
If he wants to do it then they should give him a solt but to be honest I wonder if Bluegrass is maybe not interested in running either and would rather just be a spectator.

Damn I won't be able to see a good chunk of the first day, but I'll make sure to tune in for the first definite highlight of the stream:
5.1.2015 21:55:00 F-Zero GX
That was fucking ridiculous the last time.

Competition for run slots is pretty fierce. They've got more excellent runners than actual timeslots to feature them. There were tons of excellent runs proposed that had to get cut, some of them real heartbreakers. That's the unenviable task the organizers face, figuring out exactly which runs are going to keep people's interest and of course generate the most money for the charity.
It all ends up working out pretty great though, every marathon there ends up being a game that I've never given a shit about in my life that I end up picking up and playing just because of how interesting the run was.
That said I'm willing to bet they're holding out a YSG run as a donation incentive. They could stick a 50 grand pricetag on it and it'd get met within an hour.
That schedule is bananas.
Is there an ongoing index of the runs so I can jump right to one I've missed? I assume all this stuff is recorded and available throughout the event?
I get certain games like goldeneye and mario kart, but is someone really going to beat FFVII in three hours?

You can always watch the runs after they've been done. The popular ones get uploaded to Youtube, but all of them gets put in the Twitch archives!
welp double post.
I don't however like the fact that he isn't running anything this time. rip YSG
it probably has to do with the fact that in his last run of Ecco the Dolphin he cheated in order to finish it. also if that's the only game he can run it's understandable.

People on Reddit tend to me a really helpful page as well which gives links to the specific times in the Twitch archives. I expect someone will post that in here pretty quickly.
Lol, already posted.
This is a montage of last year's AGDQ.
HOW DID I MISS THIS
