I rarely get to watch the games I'm interested in live, but I do love watching them on Youtube later.

On my excited list is Bioshock Infinite. I haven't kept up on that game because it was such a laborious game to run.

Earthbound just because it's been a good 15+ years since I even thought about it.

Dark souls 2 - 2 players 1 controller, which could be pretty interesting to watch.

Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to the 151 Pokemon Blue run. Was just recently watching the Soul Silver run from last year, was pretty awesome.

He's only been working on his current OoT 100% blindfold play through for the last year and a half and still isn't done with it. I'm sure he can find a way to squeeze that down to sub 4hrs.

Yeah man!

That Super Mario 64 120 star race will be epic too! Best of luck to the runners on cannonless...

As of right now, they have raised almost $350,000 for Doctors Without Borders. 1 million is looking like a strong possibility this time around.

They're decimating their total donation record, and this is SGDQ. It's going up and up and still 5 hours until the closing event... not even sure they've added the humblebundle $ to the total yet either which will be another 100k+

Don't forget half the proceeds from Yetee SGDQ shirts.

I'm pretty sure they'll clear 1M donated after expenses, which is amazing.

The 2 games I had a hope of getting runs accepted in have already appeared at GDQs and no major route changes have happened since then. I don't have the time to pick up a new game. I might attend if either of the 2016's are in the NW.

it's about as expensive to attend a modern GDQ as it is to attend a regular con, so it prolly won't be in my cards for a while

i may take up some Banjo speedrunning though
