I am up next guys, wish me luck!

Watching in bed and my feet are cold but I can't sleep with socks on. This is literally worse than 9/11.

I thought you all said ESA was better than GDQ?

Shit speed games to watch are ones that nobody runs and/or obscure as fuck, filled with unskippable cutscenes, only require slightly optimized route/menuing. Good speed games demonstrates the actual skill of the runner. Even if there is randomness it can be a good speed game. Game breaking glitches can be fun too.

Aww, I wanted to make the new thread with this

That girl looks like a cuter Wu.

If my feet aren't cold I cannot sleep.

Fucking moron, you need to call dibs.

How were we suppose to know that Jewyama would pay the ESA guys to purposely shit up their own event.

You do realize Mike's been dead for years and other people usurped the power behind GDQs right?

Or do you really think he has the single worst case of mono ever?

Nigger.

Are there any open world games that are good speed games?

"Notable games" as in "games we know will make fun and/or interesting watches". Some of what's featured here is stuff we've already seen at SGDQ and NASA. Just Cause is a run I've never seen before, but all things considered, I think I could've lived without this snoozefest.

Somebody give that girl some M E T H

Whether he's dead or not, all I know is that theres some off the book shit going on around here.

It is, usually.

REJOICE

A GOOD GAME IS NEXT

She was so happy to see that crash

>no werster

was the aussie event any good? worth watching?

Are speedruns still valid if a game crashes?

When I said attendees I was implying speedrunners as well, not just random people.

AGDQ 2014 was:

Hosts having no training
Donation people having no training
Tech people having no training
Technical fuckups
Runs delayed
Runs in smaller side rooms because of issues main stage
Werster stealing peoples shit (LULS LULS feelsbadman etc werster is an average runner that acts like a child)

GDQ didn't accidentally become huge dicks. They saw exactly what ESA is now very publically going through and said they would do better. Theres a cost to it. Some of that cost is less fun.

Fuck them when they get it wrong and treat GDQ like this holy fucking grail of events and not a bunch of sweaty nerds who are alright at a video game that they spend their entire life practicing. But all the same, they are highly organized for a reason. They saw what ESA is going through now in themselves.

SHE'S AWAKE!

My hands and feet are always cold. I have poor circulation to everywhere that isn't muh dik.

it honestly usually is. i can't imagine why they decided to implement GDQ's interview segments and lack of crowd camera during runs. i guess money really does kill things.

RIP another decent speedrunning event.

>i guess money really does kill things.

But they're not making money.

I don't think they've even broke even.

is there any reason why this doesnt get 1/10 the viewers of SGDQ?

GAME CRASH.

Are you seriously trying to justify a marathon stream event not being entertaining, regardless of the circumstances and context?

>sponser: mercedes benes

Because noone wants to watch limey fucks speed run games with pis poor commentary with announcers who are boring as fucking shit. This event is garbage, no audience, no donations, runners being recycled, fucking garbage.

-no memes
-people can't understand these bizarro ching chong non-american languages
-euros are so dry and dont have the American charisma

I'm about to pass out from this shit.
Is the next game worth staying up for?

I don't think I have to justify anything. It's their decision I'm just repeating what they said.

Also GDQ is rather entertaining. It just isn't as entertaining as it was.

how come the guy on the radio sounds like Victor Sullivan?

Because:
>American runners are more relatable to a larger audience
>GDQ is focused on the charity, attracting positive attention ("Great games, great cause!")
>GDQ focuses on reading donations and other aspects of viewer retention such as selectively accepting runs
>le Mario block
>le Mega Man block
>le Zelda block
>"Blocks" for every normalfag demographic
>GDQ is a business, networking with sponsors, journalism outlets (IGN, Gamespot), etc.
>GDQ has had high production values since AGDQ 2015, which is when it peaked
>Name brand bullshit

Meanwhile:
>ESA intentionally downplays the donations and charity
>ESA can't compete with GDQ's production values since 2015
>ESA doesn't do as much networking, the mainstream gaming media doesn't even realize it exists
>Non-native English speakers, general lack of charisma

tl;dr GDQ is a fucking company operating a charity fundraiser (that rakes in profit for the company) and ESA is a bunch of hobbyists running an event the same way they were three years ago.

Yes

did he just say "oh you're awake?"

0__0

BTFO!!

I can't watch this stream without nodding off at my computer. why is this allowed?

Eccentric?

Jesus Christ that donation reader looks haggard as shit

Did they pull him out of a donation after years of no sunlight and stuck a video game-looking shirt on him

Its finally over, now she can sleep

nigga looks like he's wearing a mop

I went to bed after the shit sound in the Jedi Academy run, what'd I miss

I meant to say pull him out of a dungeon but heard donation while typing and just typed what I heard

fuck it's late

holy shit.....wtf am I doing with my life right now.

I'm fucking watching.....ESA.....

;__;

Where's the stream? Is it on twitch?

it says they just finished AVP2 lol these guys have no clue what they're doing

too many mistakes.

Nah. This is what made GDQ good. This is us. This is a video game nerd that loves video games.

No hiding it. Look at him. You are looking at yourself.

>just finished AVP2
Goddamn how can you fuck this up so badly?

Yea, esamarathon

twitch
.tv/esamarathon

thank you

this mumbling retard

that segway was horribly awkward. Getting the donation comment cut into by the next runner.

BTW runner is talking without moving his mouth. lol

this guy sounds extremely bored

The fuck? You can embed twitch streams? Is this new?

>I can't keep lying this stage is pretty trash

hahaha

4chanX embeds ALL links. The new is we figured out how to conveniently get past the spam filter by hitting enter after twitch

It sucks Sup Forums blocks twitch links but I saw it before and Sup Forums would be pure spam without it.

He's getting more into it. He's just a little slow to warm up.

He was tripped up at the beginning because he was hearing himself

All right, thanks for the info

How can you suck so much at game you're speedrunning

>he skipped 1:12

Is he sucking? Looks like he's playing competently

hey he's doing a ventriloquist performance at the same time, ok? it's actually pretty impressive

kek

>no blocks
lmao kill yourself gdq faegt

He's a fucking god!

these transitions lmao

isnt it already 6am in euroland? wouldn't it be the morning then?

I mean its the wee hours of the morning here in the US but

>wee hours of the morning in the US
>midnight on the best side of the country
>9pm on the liberal shithole side

>i will be your host for the next few months
please no
end it

that's what I heard

oh god who the fuck is this dork

ESA confirmed for running for next few months

>next few months

WHAT AREN'T THEY TELLING US

He just keeps fucking going

All I heard was a German mumble a bunch of shit that was supposed to be in Englisch

Thought snapchat was for nudes.
