Summer Games Done Quick 2016 OT | July 3rd - July 10th | Gotta go fast!

I think the crowd is smaller in general for SGDQ than AGDQ. It still gets packed for the big games, though. Mario Maker and Pepsiman were packed yesterday. Super Metroid is going to be huge today. SMRPG I expect half full until the ending when it'll be as big as the Super Metroid crowd.

Well it is like 8 in the morning over there right now, isn't it?
I don't have the stream up for this one, but the last D2 run was terribly disappointing. I'm a big D2 fan, but it was just an awful run unfortunately.
About 10:30a right now. I'm in the same time zone.
Makes sense. I guess I'm thinking back on the last AGDQ more than the last SGDQ... =)

Prepare to be disappointed.
It's just the Act 1 tileset populated with halbed wielding bipedal cows. Which go mooooo. Was good for xp grinding though.

This Jak run.
They killed my wife.

Best run so far. I love how it looked like a complete trainwreck, but Bonesaw was like 5 minutes under the estimate still.

It's my favorite let's play ever.
*looks at the remaining Schedule*
I'll watch some of Pokemon Red probably.
The TAS Blocks should be pretty great (assuming no screw ups).
Don't think I'll hang around for FFVI (4 hours is a bit much...)
Super Metroid should be pretty good.
Dunno if I'll hang around for Super Mario RPG or not. May just poke in and out every so often.

whoever thought having that inverted color scheme was a good idea needs to get kicked in the face.
I've been meaning to ask, how is that possible?

I think they are playing on Super Game Boys. That thing had a load of weird border and colour options.
On the GBC, you could press the arrow buttons on boot to use different color palettes on non-color games.

They use inverted colours to get through rock tunnel without the use of Flash.
This.
GBC adds 8 palettes to normal GB games. The four directions get the first ones, the rest are on B plus a direction.

I love Pokken!
They could get through rock tunnel blindfolded after playing it so much

Yeah, I don't know why these particular runners did it. I only watch one streamer that actively runs Pokemon, and he never inverts. Rock tunnel's path is the only possible "benefit" that I know of, though.

Anybody have a link to levels played during the Mario Maker segment? I want to try them out myself.

They give the codes in upper right of the frame on the VOD.
I know. The pokemon speedruns are not really my jam. THe games are fine to play but watching them just isn't exciting.

Bulbasaur named Oddish is pretty great, though.

listen to the mad man
the guy named stump on the couch is not me. boooo impersonator.
Aaaaand they got Mewtwo. This run is going places!
Edit: Blaine just spawned from inside the player and then he rode the bike sideways to the next gym. This is fun.

So are games made for cartridges more prone to glitches where you abuse memory to load the end of the game, or it doesn't make a difference whether it was programmed for a a disk or to be installed?
