I never realized Runaway Five has six members until this.

It's definitely intended to be "oh-net", like the runner said.

I hope someone is actually taking stream pictures for these in game photos for later.

I want to see that video they were talking about with the Mini Barfs calling for help & reviving all of them at once

Ah you're right, it was already over $2 million. Wasn't it because of that crazy donation run during that Bandai Namco raffle^^?

They raised 2,221,880$ at AGDQ of this year. It was also the first event where they raised over $1 million in a single day.
Yes. There's a reason why they show off tons of prizes.

I think we are getting past 2 million again.
Each dollar of prizes probably generates 100+ dollars of donations. It's a really cost-effective way to increase interest.
There comes a point of diminishing returns, of course, but they've done a good job offering desirable prizes the last couple GDQs.

I wish they wouldn't do RPG's for final runs. They're so slow-paced in comparison to madness like the Jedi Outcast run. Kills so much of my interest to watch someone speedrun something for hour upon hour.

This event was good for distracting me from stressful BS this week. I loved the LttP run, and I've even followed a few streamers I'll have to check out soon. Definitely looking forward to the next event (though I prefer summer streams).
Ah yes, thank you, that's it. Apparently it was being used against a transgender runner during the event. Good on GDQ for taking care of that. Fucking hell, Twitch chat... so toxic it could create superheroes just by looking at it.
It's probably easier for it just to be one long stable run so the tech crew and staff can clean up as the event winds down instead of having to juggle a bunch of different setups.
I think it's a nice denouement moment, too. A nice way to wind down the end of the event which had a lot of awesome runs. It doesn't need to, nor should it be, a climax of the event.
I personally love that they seem to end each GDQ with RPG goodness.
This is during the night. It's 2:30am at the event.
You're wrong but thats ok. Last run should be like this. Plenty of time to read donations, have volontueers and tech pack shit up etc. A way for everyone to wind down.

They normally close with a longer RPG, usually a FF game or CT or something.
Ending around 5am isn't a great idea...

I saw earthbound trending on twitter and started freaking out, but then I remembered SDGQ and noticed this is the final game so decided to join in.
It's still $240,000 short with 20 minutes or less to go, so I'm doubtful.

Good SDGQ this year, now to go on youtube and catch up on the ones I missed, which is most of them.

Aw, they totally should have left the game's credits (with audio) play during the ending of the marathon.

For me it's the start of VOD catch up time.
No, they can obtained by watching an ad.

First time watching GDQ. Sad I missed out on it these past few years. Good show.

I wasn't going to stay up, but for some reason I've always been at the end of each stream. It does feel sad that it's over, as it always does. lol

Fell asleep about two and a half hours into Earthbound but woke up just before the final boss. Good watching this with everyone, though work and personal circumstances this year meant I couldn't watch as much as usual.
The GDQ stream is currently hosting a random FF6 runner who is now having trouble dealing with the full force of the internet staring at him

Never thought about it like that before.

Going to spend the next couple of months slowly going through all the runs I missed. Can't wait for the winter one!
