Awesome Games Done Quick 2017 | January 8th - January 15th | Speedrunning for Charity

shitbags with MAGA hats have no place anywhere near this stream so glad they got banned.

Pretty much. Anyone who is bringing that shit to AGDQ has malicious intentions to begin with. I mean what's the point? You know you'll get a reaction and it's basically to troll. Fuck off with that shit.

After watching the YouTube video of the recorded convo, they all got in trouble (punching your badge) but then the one guy got banned because he's been a problem there before.

He had a run later in this marathon that is now gone too.

An event like this you have to maintain control of the environment. This isn't broadcast from someone's basement anymore. Millions of dollars are at stake. I don't blame them in the least.

Yes, part of the problem with the guy that got banned is that he made a mass shooting "joke" last year/the year before (can't remember which) after his run. He's been a problem for a long time and they've been fairly lenient on him.

Also the reason why a runner could potentially get banned for it even if they don't wear it is because the runners clear everything the couch guests bring (or else they can't bring it).

Yeah looking at this guys twitter it didn't take me long to find him posting some pretty insulting stuff about Narcissa Wright. I hope this guy stays banned forever.

Geeze that Twitter is all over the place and saw that bit about Narcissa too. The guy is a piece of work.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Sucks that dumb shit seems to happen behind the scenes every year.
 
As someone knows very little about Speedrunning personalities (Outside of the three or four I follow on Twitch) I find the annual AGDQ drama to be wildly baffling yet entertaining. So many egos and childish antics involved!

Anyways, I really enjoyed the OoT 3D Run. I'm learning a similar category for N64 (Medallions / Stones / Trials) and it was great seeing the differences between the two games, plus the commentary was entertaining yet informative. I haven't been paying as much attention to Borderlands but it seems cool too. Really excited for MGS2 tonight.

If anyone could add Mik2pick to the Gaf chat that would be cool too. Not bothering with the main channel's chat haha. Thanks!

This is actually a pretty cool run. Fun commentary too. Can really tell these guys enjoy this.

Also definitely remember watching Broman run this game a few years ago and it was definitely a lot messier than this lol. Having to use like a super outdated version of the game for specific glitches and it would sometimes crash and yeah.

invited you.

I think the thing you gotta understand is that, unsurprisingly, the speedrun community has some rather questionable people, just like any large (particularly gaming) community. Moreover, GDQs have a sort of reputation as a speedrunning olympics, so everyone wants to be a part of it. The combination means you get a lot of dumb people doing dumb things at GDQs.
 
Could I get an invite to the GAF Twitch chat? Username is chrominance. I don't even like Borderlands 2 that much but the main chat's constant stream of SKIP is kind of annoying.

4chan levels of humour, posting porn on a hotel's WiFi, deadnaming and misgendering a trans speedrunner, and being an all-around shit on an invited event.

Yep, this guy should get banned.

Not sure who did it but whoever thought it would be funny to bring a bunch of MAGA hats knew exactly what they were doing and should be banned as well.

That last gun glitch in Borderlands 2 was pretty amusing. The fact the game took so long to crash after doing that was pretty impressive too, lol

I'm watching on my Roku. sstream's running fine

I remember single levels in Psychonauts taking me multiple hours. seeing the whole game in under an hour is stupid. is this glitchless or not? I went to the bathroom so I missed 20% of the run
