Hurts my soul to see so much money collected for such a shitty fucking charity. At the risk of sounding like a bleeding heart faggot, I fucking hate what money does to people.
AGDQ is supposed to be collecting money for charity and no doubt they wanted to donate for an actual good charity, but PCF happened to give them the best deal for collecting them.
Imagine how many people this money could actually help if donated to local causes and charities. It wouldn't get eaten up by taxes and it wouldn't go to some stupid advertising problem.
Fuck the AGDQ organizers for picking such a fucking scam charity instead of something smaller, more substantial. And fuck all the people who donate for donating to AGDQ instead of directly to save on taxes (and especially preferably donate to something that's not PCF) because they want their fanny joek read on stream so everybody knows how hilarious and how generous they are.
This whole shit is infurating and really shows how people don't actually care about helping others when donating, they just want it to be known that they're generous and totally good people when doing it.

ogawa zato???
if brossentia is there does that mean essentia is too?
>>127797637
Who?
>>127797627
SDGQ has a different leader and uses doctors without borders.
I feel like i'm literally the only one who actually stuck to what they were saying and isn't watching GayDQG
>>127797637
plenty of turok lets plays out there already
>cancer research
>>127797659
this. GDQ let chodes like this animefag and trannyboy "run" games that require actual skill.
>>127797659
I want to ask why they got him instead of a better runner or not adding Mirror's Edge at all, but the GDQ committee is fucked anyways.
>>127797659
Quite possibly, though it's probably also the 1P perspective.
>>127797749
I'm still watching my regular Twitch channels.
tfw have to poop but dont wanna miss the strteam
>>127797838
HL2 was worse
http://www.speedrun.com/Baten_Kaitos_Eternal_Wings_and_the_Lost_Ocean#100
why not have this run
>>127797667
Essentia's not there sadly.
>>127797667
what's wrong with this guy's face
This dude running sounds like Ulililia
>>127797838
I didn't watch it, but how was Stepmania and Mario Maker? As cancer as I expected?
>500 hours to be decent
>1000 hours to be good
So like any competitive game?
>>127797659
A better runner isn't going to change anything
It's still a running simulator.
>>127797998

>>127797998
I liked Mario Maker 2bh
this is awful
>>127798074
It is a competitive game. There are leaderboards for time attacks.
>nothing in this marathon will ever live up to AGDQ 2013's Bonus Stream game of Mario Party 2 with Spikevegeta, Naegleria, Bassboost and Footbigmike
does the super long bonus stream even exist anymore
fuck this gdq
shits so anti-fun
If somebody from GDQ staff is reading this, please highlight the game that is currently being run in the schedule page.
Thanks.
>>127798118
Name one game, that matters,where this isn't the case.
>>127797627
Which one will it be? Some other huge charity?
All those huge international charities are shit for actually donating to. Most of your money just goes into bureaucracy. They may be non-profit, but that doesn't mean the people working there work for free. You're paying some guys salary so he can organize more charity events. You're literally paying them to make sure they get their next salary.
Here's the best thing to do if you actually want to donate and not just want to see a funny message read on stream
>check if there's any cause to donate to locally
>if there isn't, hold your donation and wait until there is
You won't get to feel as good because you don't get your greetings from germany read out loud, but you'll get the most out of your money.
If everyone did it like this, huge money moving charities that need 80% of their donations for themselves to survive wouldn't exist.Also, Africa would stop getting carried by the west and start to get their shit together, maybe
>>127797667
Essentia hates gays and assumingly furries too. I doubt she likes Brosssentia.
>>127798307
That Barney game that you can win in five minutes by afking
>>127798280
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there no bonus stream this year?
We need a PC game bingo

>>127798301
Add collapsible days too thanks
>>127797737
Uyama is also on payroll of the PCF after one of the earlier AGDQs raked in big money for them. He esentially sold the AGDQ event to PCF so he could get a chunk of the donation money. He isn't being transparent about this at all and the analysis of the PCF's budgeting and work environment is really bad. It's a mutual financial interest for both parties, nothing more.
>>127797998
stepmania's next, it's just gonna be another tetris block though :/
So anyone wanna guess what percent of the donations to Prevent Cancer actually go towards the organization, and what percent actually goes back into the Fat Asian's personal bank account?
>>127798381
Wasn't at SGDQ cuz LOL we can't afford the equipment for 2 more days
this is a well programmed stable game

um, anon... romscout has been fired. why do you think this gdq is failing to raise enough money without the charity lead of twitch giving handouts...
This is pretty great
>>127798402
>misusing controls
no such thing
>>127798402
Can't even do that yourself, huh?
I feel bad for people that don't know about all the movement options in ME from experience. It makes it really hard to appreciate just how insane all the inputs/tricks are.
>>127798472
administration fees are a real thing. they need to eat. so i'm thinking the people who run the charity need to take about 80% to keep the charity running
>>127798458
Literally nothing wrong with the skill showcases, they will always bring tons of views.
>>127798338
Médecins Sans Frontières.
>>127798493
Why is this allowed? Better yet, are there any speedrunners who are red pilled and actually express their disgust for how GDQs have evolved?
>>127798575
>um, anon... romscout has been fired. why do you think this gdq is failing to raise enough money without the charity lead of twitch giving handouts...
Well, expect SGDQ to be full on Uyama PCF money grabbing as well then. How long until they get a third or fourth event? Literal scam charity.

>Trihex is a good yoshi island speedrunner
I wish normalfags would understand that entertaining =/= good but since GDQs are all about the presentation and not the quality of skill I understand why they would be confused.
>>127798740
Viewers don't care
Last SGDQ was choke full of "mum died of cancer donating for research" tier donations as well
>>127798785
You can, by not smoking and shit. They basically hand out common sense flyers
>>127798754

Half Life and Mirror's Edge are literally the only 2 good games to speedrun, the rest is boring casual shit
>>127798818

No, he loved it last year and thought it was the best year ever. He's only salty because he's banned

So what? You still have to wade through all the submissions to find it. If highlighted, you can just glance it and find where we're at.
It's a legit improvement/request, why are you defending GDQ's shortcomings?
>>127798998
Werster loves any excuse to come to the States because it means he can hang out with his totally platonic pal Trihex.

We're kicking cancer's butt!
>>127798901
What is it with r/4chan kids always fuckng up screenshots with overblown highlights and spam?
>>127799085
Many are not going any more because the entire avenue is filled with non-speedshitters making drama. It's supposed to be a comfy event only for speedrunners but PCF wants to maximize their revenue so they allow all these groupies and cliques in.
>>127799074
It's marxist trash
>>127799159
It is senpai. None of that 2d easy shit.
>>127799320
sp, tv, and r9k all do the same shit as v in that pic tho
Im not really sure why everyone is criticizing the people who run this event, everytime I see that crowd of spergrunners in that room I know it must be a nightmare - please cut them a little slack
>>127799359
Last year was just as shit as this year and they ALL went and said it was one of the best years ever
They don't care about that shit.
>>127799159
if mirror's edge doesn't look hard to speedrun then no game does, surely not old 2D platformer #396
>>127798652
You can say this about any speedgame desu senpai
>>127799516
hey matty

You mean scroll down a bit and find now? Can millennials really not read a schedule?
>>127797107
I greatly admire this man but I swear it's not anymore than that
these 2 kids are probably the only white males at the whole of AGDQ without annoying effeminate voices
2D games take 33% less skill
>>127799617
Genius thinking here, fuck actually improving things
>>127799518
It's hard to get a gauge from people who go to GDQs since most of their fun from the even just comes from fucking around and meeting their speedfriends and nothing at all to do with the actual speedruns being done.
>>127799617
Fuck off, kid.

Why do people always do this? You point of a game is a shit speedrun, and they always come back with "2D games are shit speedruns"
2D is ALSO shit. They aren't exclusive. You can think of both of them as shit. It's not one or the other
>>127799635
>btw i just started watching
honestly this game looks like it has crazy high skill cap
>>127799603
Yeah big jon had all his runs denied ( including two very popular games ) because he did something the staff didn't like at SGDQ year. They only told him last week, rather underhanded.
>>127799857
what are you doing in this thread?
who /blast dozer/ here
>>127797998
Mario maker blind race was meh but i enjoyed the hard map race right after. It was cool to see panga play his own levels. Fucking grandboobear obnoxious commentary spoiled it a bit though.
>>127799737
>>127799809
It's not really an improvement, is it? It's just a handicap aid for you idiots. It's really pathetic that you can't find your way around a list of times without it blinking at you. Ask mom if she can dig up an old TV Guide. It'll blow your fucking mind.
>>127799909
Holding forward and pressing jump as hard, speedfriend
Almost as hard as holding right and pressing jump
>>127799635
I swear all Americans sound the same. There's literally no variation in accent or anything between these people.

>>127799951
>peaches didn't get a run in because he missed an imaginary deadline and was told "no exceptions"
GDQ doesn't give a fuck about anyone.
>>127800025
but you have to perfectly time the jumps and stuff..
>>127799074
Does the speedrun represent playing the game casually in any sense? This does not look appealing.
>>127799857
Then please tell us what games are good speedruns if Mirror's Edge isn't
>>127799587
Imagine that there are games that are easier and harder to speedrun. Crazy right?
>>127799951
What did he supposedly do?

Alright sweetie, have fun with your crt monitor, improvements are for faggots.
>>127799857
then what game isn't shit
honestly i've been browsing the thread and i swear every single game except the usual metroid/zelda games was called a shit speedgame
>>127800152
This, all I ever hear is that he showed a video game cartridge on stream, but no one explains why that was at all bad or ban worthy.

You needing your hand held doesn't make hand holding an "improvement." Blinking lights aren't going to help me scroll down a list of times any faster, and they won't make ctrl f work any better. But this is what I get for arguing with the me generation. If you pretend that the things you want are something everybody needs then it makes it ok for you to demand them.
So I don't offend, what are you preferred pronouns?
>casuals will never appreciate Mirror's Edge speedruns
>casuals will never appreciate Dustforce speedruns
>casuals will never appreciate Half-Life speedruns
It's always cute when /srg/ thinks theyre somehow better than /v/
>>127800027
It can be hard to pick out variation as an outsider.
If you know what to listen for, you can even pick out the difference between something like a Tennessee and Georgia accent.
time for a real speedrun boys
If he used an SSD he could have shaved tons of time off that
PC gamers will never learn
>>127800584
Yep, sorry.
>"games" with lyrics in their "music"
Always shit
>>127800649
But up next is a showcase
>>127800152
At SGDQ he ran mario lost levels but he also wanted to have a 15 minute slot for nes open golf. He made a thread about it on the forum which was deleted.
During the run of lost levels a lot of donations asked if he would play nes open golf. During the run he pulled the cartridge out of his backpack and waved it around. The staff saw this together with the donations as raiding / going against their interest.
Now they refused all his runs ( despite being a very popular and liked runner ) for no reason. He e-mailed mike but he didn't answer. He made another thread wondering if there is a reason why they were refused but the thread was deleted without reply. At the event a staff member approached him and told him that they didn't like him flashing the kart as it 'distracted from the event'. Yesterday he also got harassed by security ( they hired a bunch of private security bouncers ) having to constantly show his badge and holding him up to check if he was 'not on the ban list'.
>>127800584
I've always wanted to play Dustforce since it came out but never got around to it. Good community?
The only non-casual speedgames are Half-Life 1 and Mirror's Edge

If you're serious, it doesn't matter since the real run doesn't count loading times.

>clapping for a cutscene
>>127800725
It sounds like he intentionally distrupted the event for his own interests, If they let him get away with it they would have to give everyone that amount of freedom.
Now imagine this room full of attention hungry furry virgins with mental problems all being allowed to use their fans to hijack the stream and flash whatever they want at the cameras. You can see how it's a GODDAMNED MIRACLE we haven't seen a dick or some lolicon shit flashed every time the cameras on the crowd.
