(/w\) I can't watch the OOT one because I got it for my 3DS the other day and it's been so long I've forgotten how to do/get nearly everything. I'm enjoying the re-experiencing lol.

It's fine, an Ocarina of Time Speedrun is like, glitch through a wall at the beginning and you're immediately at the end. It's weird.

I figured as much but...

(/w\) I don't even remember the end lol. I thought it was the cool thing where the sword got stuck in his head but I think that was wind waker.

It's been entirely too long lol.

You know, as a kid playing Pokemon, I never imagined the game I was playing would be raising money to fight cancer. Quite a bit of money raised just for what to name the character, the rival, certain Pokemon, etc. That's cool to me.

Even my nearly 70 year old parents who hate video games are excited about what SDA is doing with the GDQ's.

You don't need to be a gamer to appreciate people working together to do good.

Reading back about past GDQs (and maybe trying to figure out who's adorable voice is announcing things atm), it looks like past GDQs had some drama, cringe, etc. So I'm guessing this one is just going very well.

There's always at least one situation. There was a seriously memorable one last year.

Wonder if she actually ended up going thru with it or if she just said yes because of the cameras.

I've read about Mr. Shasta being asked to step down from announcing due to a comment he read from Twitter or a donation or something. Then I saw something about a girl standing up and started telling a story about cancer mid-speedrun and asked the runner to stop playing or something.

Yeah, and one runner basically sat on the couch and annoyed the ***out of everyone for several games in a row until one runner told him to shut up. That was pretty funny.

It's a week of amateur and generally fairly unprofessional gamers streaming 24/7. There's bound to be something happening.

This one seems to be going well as long as I've watched it through the day. Biggest issue I've seen was the FF run failing.

ZFG didn't have a noticeable lisp throughout OOT/MQ but he did in the interview. Did I just not notice during the run?

Am I misunderstanding this or did the "Can you stop?" girl get a job with GDQ after the incident?

Not too far off, was thinking it'd be later in the year. Hopefully I'll have the money to donate. I'm kinda bummed I can't. Winter is not kind to concrete guys. =/

EDIT: Editing this in because I've gotten kinda spammy in here, not sure if it's been posted already....

Weren't the FFIV characters supposed to be named by bidwar?

EDIT: Oh, I guess you can change the names. Thought that was DS only.
