I literally only hear about this drama here. The stream itself has no such drama and is all about the games and charity

This.

I don't get people complaining about this. Just watch the speedruns.

Neither do I get the people who complain about "censorship" when all that happens is people getting banned from chat for being bigoted assholes.

I am mad at myself for not donating during Ninja Gaiden Black for a chance to win the vinyl soundtrack.
---

Ninja Gaiden Black was cool. I had to stay up late for it.

I dont really see as much of an issue with this whole deadname thing if somebody is using past tense. Im not too sure about how the records are updated and kept, but it isnt impossible for records to have CosmoWright put down as the runner from the time it was made instead of reflecting current times.

Why are you guys letting yourself get bothered by "behind the scenes drama"? This stuff isn't apparent from watching the stream.

The drama leads to runners not coming back.

The drama leads to unqualified runners running games they arent the best at.

It leads to a dip in quality tbh.
---

I never watched a Pikmin 3 speedrun before, but that was pretty impressive. Especially that mission mode.

Next up is Soft Body.

Might try out Ninja Gaiden Black and Gimmick! as they both look great.
---

Poor teddyras, seems like a nice guy.
---

Great and informative couch for this Dustforce DX race right now.
---

The first MegaMan block is coming up next. Starting with a MM6 3-way race with Chelney, Ppotdot and DarkTerrex. Then TheBlacktastic is doing a ProtoMan run of MM9. Finally Nu is playing MMZ4. There's a donation incentive to see DarrenVille play MMX2 buster only.
---

Great MM6 race. Also the X2 incentive has been met.
---

Time for MegaMan X2 buster only.
---

How was he able to get the buster upgrade? I had to grab something.
---

Frame perfect ledge grabbing.

Ledge grab, it is pretty tight but possible.

Rise of the tomb raider is a lot more funny than expected, this game is more broken then Skyrim lol
---

I might have to stay up to watch this Resident Evil 100% run.
---

Is alcohol not allowed in the room?
Cause if I was in the crowd I would be slamming beers.
---

Cute girl with a British accent running OG Tomb Raider
---

I kind of prefer this Tomb Raider run over the last one because even though this game is still broken, there is a lot more platforming.

Are you sure

I'm really surprised Odyssey wasn't a part of this. Odyssey is one of the most fun games to speedrun and watch tbh. The glitches aren't off the wall where you can't tell what is going on, and there is just a lot of neat jumps.
---

Ugh, this is horrible for the Horror Block of games. It is 1:50 AM, which means I can't stay up that long!!!
---

I wonder how fast this Resident Evil run would be if they could edit out the door animations.

Great run to watch. Shouldn't have stayed up to watch it, but whatever, he was great to watch.

Cant wait till the event is nothing but political correctness and not about the charities or games.

OH WAIT.

Shout out to the two dudes who showed up to see this FoldableHuman run.

I know it gets dead around this time but it is still sad to see almost nobody supporting this run besides twitch chat.

Holy shit I didnt even see that dilation station.

Sharing dilation glasses? Ughhhhhhhhh.

The only other thing I have to question is why FFIV glitchless is the last speedrun. Seems like one of the races would be more exciting, especially since they have that Mario maker 3v3 race only two games behind that.

literally a fucking online alias named after a green alien with suction cup hands from an obscure 90s game

but no, it's an attack on trans people to use the wrong screenname

boy, you better not use the wrong one of the five or so online aliases I've used extensively in the past 20 years or so

especially if talking in the past tense about the time I was actually using that name

It's 6, not 4 being run.

But yeah I can't imagine it'll be much different than playing normally since 6 is so easy already. Spam blitz, spam tools, get a few rages, win for 7 hours?

Ah shoot. IV and VI get scrambled in my brain the whole time. Meant VI.

the people who run GDQ are shady as fuck

also, what made that event were the memes and the awful chat experience, and with those both of those gone, what's left are people who haven't left their basements in years awkwardly running games in front of a crowd and constant donation shilling/begging by the staff

YSG save us

The Sonic and Metroid blocks are up next back to back.

Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut - Sonic's Story
Sonic Spinball
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic 3 and Knuckles

Metroid: Zero Mission 4-way 100% race
Samus Returns (3DS)
and Super Metroid 100% Map Completion
---

i thank Airhammy, think i'll watch the sonic block. looking forward to sonic 3 and knuckles.
just caught it on sonic directors cut windy valley. it's my favorite level due to the music.
---

Aww yiss the Sonic block.

I love me Sonic.
---

part of me wanted his save file to be corrupt for good but he had a backup :(.
---

Sonic and Metroid is an oddly strong Tuesday lineup

Certainly not complaining though
---

I unironically enjoy Sonic Spinball.
---

Has DS Dad been sighted yet this week? I'm watching the stream again today. Missed yesterday's stuff.
---

someone had a switch. that doesn't count.
---

I'm enjoying Sonic, but, I can't wait for the Metroid block. Especially the Zero Mission run, one of my favorite games .

He's not on the announcer schedule at all for what that's worth
---

The Sonic block is over, Metroid coming up, and the Zero Mission race is up first.
---

That...

Was actually a pretty good opener for the race. Nice.
---

What happened to dragonfangs?

What happened to dragonfangs?

I heard his console died or crashed.

That was a fun race, Zero Mission is even better to play though. I waited a couple years for it to finally come to the NA Wii U Eshop, and bought it when it did. Great game indeed. If you haven't played Zero Mission, do yourself a favor and do so.

I'm going to play Tomb Raider for the first time, it's on Steam for 97 cents. Should be worth it.
---

Oh ok, thanks. Was hoping to catch the beginning of the race, but work has kept me pretty busy this week.
