Just started today, some pretty good runs so far.
Anything anyone is looking forward to especially?
I’m really excited to see Punchy rum Silent Hill 2, perhaps we’ll learn more about doors and how they work.

Haha oh TP.
Some sexy cosplay never hurts I guess!
I always wished they had more comfy ass couches for the crews when playing games. They should get Lovesacs as a sponsor.

Looking forward to Mario Sunshine and the Megaman block. Also Chex Quest, just for sentimental reasons ;D

Horror block was great last night.
Sad to see no poobear this event.

Might watch after finals, otherwise I have to rewatch the VODs :) AGDQ is so hype!

I think CPT might.

AGDQ is awesome to watch.
I hope I get to catch it a little more before it's over.

Anyone else looking to buy super Mario bros 3 mix on a cart now? Haha
The repro carts on Etsy are such an amazing place to find too many games

I don't understand the appeal of GDQ at all whatsoever.
Then again I don't understand the appeal of game streams either. It's one thing to watch a walkthrough or watch for the players comedic ability, but to watch someone play a video game like you're watching a tv show does not make any sense to me. It seems to defeat the entire point of video games as a medium.

If someone is doing a speed run, I find it interesting to see what tricks he's come up with, but only if it's a game I really care about like a Metroid title. Usually I only watch longplays of games I know I will never play (or really old games that are a pain to find and install) because I'm just curious what the game is like, but I don't feel like investing the time of finding/downloading/installing the game or the time of figuring out how to play it and beat it (getting stuck on puzzles or really difficult parts). This only applies to single player games.
The only multiplayer gameplay I watch is Macie Jay on R6: Siege. He's entertaining because he's extremely good at the game, and I can actually learn strategies from his gameplay. But I only watch his highlight videos. I don't understand watching someone play live, especially if it's not an intense game, and I can't stand people who just try to be funny while playing (they're comedy generally consists of screaming, extreme close-ups, and other 12 year old humor).

Big fan of speedruns and especially AGDQ. The players and commentators are usually very entertaining, in addition to the staggering amounts of exploits and funny situations they find themselves in. True dedication and craftmanship worth broadcasting.
This OoT speedrun had me sitting with my jaw on the floor for 4 hours straight The player has a formidable working memory and turns the game inside out and then some with crazy glitches and insights into the source code.

I love watching the GDQ videos. I usually throw them up while I'm working (I work from home). Just fun to listen to and glance at to break from walls of text.
