These guys...

 

[Coonce]

ok, this is insanity

 

[Hesemonni]

Ok now this is too much...l

 

[Broken Joystick]

 

[Veldin]

HOW

 

[Arc07]

I just... what.

 

[kAmui-]

This shouldn't be possible O.O

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Wat

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

This boy is special.

 

[ubercheez]

Okay what the hell, do the pieces show up in a predetermined order in this mode or something?

 

[painey]

this is awesome, but no commentary at all kinda takes away from it

 

[StopMakingSense]

This is a super impressive feat of memory.

 

[Coonce]

noooooooooo

 

[Accoun]

Okay what the hell, do the pieces show up in a predetermined order in this mode or something?

Yes.

 

[Quenk]

Okay what the hell, do the pieces show up in a predetermined order in this mode or something?

Yup.

 

[cntr]

daaaaaamn

 

[ubercheez]

yes

but amazing memorization & ability to reproduce the inputs blindfolded

Oh, no doubt.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Setup took longer than the runs lol.

 

[PaulKersey]

Yeah, at first I was thinking there was no way. Then I realized it must be a pattern and that is still equally impressive. That is nuts.

 

[Murugo]

Always awesome to see these guys play every event.

Oh wow, this is their last for a while!

 

[Envelope]

wait why no more Tetris? (((((((

 

[Weckum]

Awww, too bad. I love the TGM runs. Usually my favorite part. I wouldn't mind seeing them every time.

 

[Death Metalist]

Damn shame.

 

[Broken Joystick]

 

[Japanmanx3]

Why's this the end for TGM tho?

 

[Patryn]

Wait, I missed them saying why it was their last. Something about no new game?

Is there some limit on games being featured that they can't be in too many GDQs in a row?

If its the players' choice to stop coming, then I understand. If it's a GDQ thing, they're nuts to cut a popular block.

 

[Hesemonni]

Has Notch donated this year already?

 

[Quenk]

wait why no more Tetris? (((((((

There's not a whole lot else they can showcase from the games. Maybe if they could get one of the top Japanese players to come to a gdq.

Wait, I missed them saying why it was their last. Something about no new game?

Is there some limit on games being featured that they can't be in too many GDQs in a row?

I don't believe there's a limit based on a game but there may be something based on category/run type. Super Metroid is consistently at gdqs but that's probably because kill/save is a staple and they can change categories and do races.

 

[Envelope]

there haven't been any new TGM games, and they've run out of stuff to show

Spoiler

TGM4 pls

i could watch this every year tho (((

 

[neshcom]

Did the Witness donation incentive deadline pass? Haven't watched all day and I don't see it on the donate list...

 

[Recall]

i could watch this every year tho (((

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Why's this the end for TGM tho?

One reason is that, earlier this year, KevinDDR said he was completely burnt out on TGM and retiring from the game. AFAIK the only reason he's played it at all recently is for SGDQ prep.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

They could do NES tetris, that game is mad hard to master.

I guess this is just the end of the road for the TGM block for a while.

 

[Patryn]

Has Notch donated this year already?

Notch has said he's not donating to GDQ to protest Twitch's new monetization system.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Has Notch donated this year already?

Notch isn't watching or donating this year because he's unhappy with Twitch or something.

 

[Accoun]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I'm trying to watch as many Kevin's streams as possible (timezones make it hard, tho) and I'm still excited for the GDQ exhibitions.

 

[Recall]

I expect the trials run to be lacklustre as its community maps

 

[Xerotwo]

Notch has said he's not donating to GDQ to protest Twitch's new monetization system.

How would this benefit Twitch's bits system? Aren't the GDQ's donations separate from it?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

How would this benefit Twitch's bits system? Aren't the GDQ's donations separate from it?

Notch is an irrational, all around horrible human being. Best not to look for logic in his dumb protest.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Notch isn't watching or donating this year because he's unhappy with Twitch or something.

That's a beyond dickish move.

Choosing to not donate to a charity that does amazing work for the world because of a new monetization system on Twitch is absurd.

But it's Notch, so I'm not surprised he's being a big stick in the mud.

 

[Patryn]

How would this benefit Twitch's bits system? Aren't the GDQ's donations separate from it?

There is no relation between Twitch's bit system and GDQ. The only remotely related bit is that GDQ is streamed on Twitch and Twitch is an official sponsor.

Notch has simply decided that hurting a charity is worth elevating an issue he finds important. He has also said that he feels that this position is a success because people are talking about it.

Well, I guess I'm talking about it but the only conclusion I've reached is that he's a giant dick.

 

[cntr]

I haven't heard of Bits before, but it sounds like nonsense to protest GDQ over a Twitch thing

 

[jett]

Notch has said he's not donating to GDQ to protest Twitch's new monetization system.

Notch has really done his best to become an awful person.

 

[Envelope]

notch is a dumbass and asshole, what else is new

 

[beelulzebub]

Notch has said he's not donating to GDQ to protest Twitch's new monetization system.

What? Unless Twitch earns money from GDQ donations, this is a huge leap in logic. Claiming he's holding 30K hostage from Doctors Without Borders because of Twitch bits isn't a good look.

 

[Death Metalist]

Did the Witness donation incentive deadline pass? Haven't watched all day and I don't see it on the donate list...

It's been met.

 

[Jblanks]

Notch has really done his best to become an awful person.

Pretty much.

Tetris block is always one of the best.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Money changes people, and Notch is one of the biggest examples of that. I like how he constantly uses the "I grew up poor" excuse as an excuse, too.

Also none of us are talking about bits. We're talking about how Notch politicizing a good cause that itself is founded on not being politicized is the most dick thing you can do.

Kevin knows what's up, Jedi Academy was hype
