Alright that Animorphs run was the highlight of the event so far. lmfao I rate that as a must watch on Youtube.

Up next is Super Hydlide followed by Hoshi wo Miru Hito 1 player 2 controllers

---

This awful block has been great. MegaMan 3 DOS is next.

---

Spider-Man swinging around in his mask and underwear. Now I've seen it all.

---

Yelling out shit from the games gets old so fast and is just annoying.

When I get home I'm watching awful block

I wish they'd show those runs in prime time, they're a blast

Is this gdq not doing well? I feel like they were part million by this point in previous years.

It's thursday night already and they're barely even at 850k

I mean that's still a shit ton of money. The last day is usually massive so I won't be surprised if they hit 2 million still.

Maybe some are donating more to the Australia fires?

Last agdq ended at 2.4 million and it took 5 days to reach 1 million, this one should reach 2 million no matter what but it does seem to be a less interesting one than usual.

How the hell does the Yetee afford to donate so much money to this thing? They're just a nerd outlet that sells shirts and stuff but every day they give thousands of dollars in donations. Is it just the tax write offs that allow them to do this and really not impact their income?

All the sales of shirts they make during the GDQ goes to them. I assume they just do big donations to get certain runs going or incentives met, as opposed to just making one big donation at the end of the event.

Ah, so all that donation money is really all the purchases made during the event? Also if there's donations without listing what incentive to go to, do they just go to whatever is needed? Or do they not count towards any incentive at all?

Don't worry. The last 2 days will generate a 1 million alone....just cause that moneys gotta get washed some how.

---

Yo this FF6 run is fucked.

---

While this was being promoted, did they disclose it was a glitched/warp run?

If not seems kinda dickish to not be openly clear about that.

You expected them to beat the game in 35 minutes? It should be pretty obvious.

Considering that FF6 doesnt have a NG+ and it was labeled a NG+ run so anyone should have assumed it was glitched.

They use low times as place holders for "bonus games" sometimes.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is up next

---

That Last Wish speedrun was awesome despite two players dropping. That guy getting not only one but two 1k Voices was hilarious.

---

re: donations it seems like theres less fake donations from sponsors this year and maybe thats it? Not only affecting the total directly, but also those big ones tend to hype people up to drop cash.

---

Action Henk is on now, and it's... bizarre. Super Fancy Pants Adventure is coming up after.

---

Pokemon X & Y is finishing up here in the next hour.

Following that is the MegaMan X block, TASBot, and then a bonus game.

---

Alright the MegaMan X block is coming up next in about 10min

First up we've got Qttsix running X4 100% as Zero. Then darrenville is doing X3 100%. Finally a 4-way 100% X1 race between Tokyo90, darrenville, Clipper1, and Soppanaama.

---

and Qttsix got WR with 41:28. Previous WR 42:06 by ArielRx

---

Only $1.2M. Not good, only on pace for around $1.5

Don't they usually get a huge surge on Saturday?

I coulda sworn last year it hit 1 mil on Thursday, and hit 2.2 mil by Saturday night

you hate to see it

3rd - Clipper1 - 37:02.9
4th - Darrenville - 37:05.6

TASBot up next, and they're still trying for the Pokemon Blue TAS bonus game.

sweet. Im at work but I was excited to see that one.

---

Wind Waker is up next

---

Wait did they announce what the super bonus is or is it a secret?

---

Bonus 6 is Link's Awakening for Switch at a $400k incentive

Super Bonus is a Tool Assisted Mario Maker 2 Showcase if $2.3 million is raised overall

---

I don't see Majora's Mask anywhere on the list. :(

Shame since it would've been fun to see reactions toward the new moonwarp glitch.

---

any runs people recommend me to watch?

i'm way behind on it but this always takes me like a week after it ends to watch the streams i want to see.

Skyward Sword was nuts

---

there wasnt really a ton of comfy vibes from couch this year, where last year there was great chemistry on loads of runs

jak 3 and sonic 1 were 10/10, smo was lit, etc

---

Well then, Wind Waker managed to finish about 22min under estimate.

Up next is the 3-way 70-star race of Super Mario 64 Randomizer between Puncayshun, 360Chrism, and Simply.
