Seems to be very real
"Well SRG, another year is over. This AGDQ was a very successful one. I brought a friend with to help this year and we ended up splitting the loot. I already sold most of the system, controllers, and a bunch of games on the drive back home. This is what is let over.
So far I have made a profit of over $1100 and still have this to sell. I love free vacations and I love these events"
Someone asked if people just leave their games unattended in the open.
"A large part was from the multiple fire alarms. Mostly it was people just leaving stuff lie around. No one watches their stuff at these events. There was no security. It was just a bunch of trips back and forth taking a few at a time not to look suspicious."
"You can believe what you want. I have done this for the past 2 years now. I don't have people to donate me hundreds of dollars for a free vacation, so I have to fund it some other way. The only reason I'm showing it this year is because next year there will be too much security to steal anything. Romscout and others have already said that it has grown too large so more staff and security is needeed."
Someone in the thread noted at least one game (nba jam or something?) in that picture that he'd seen set up on a TV and then later on heard the people running complaining about their missing their cartridge.
I didn't hear anything about the $10,000 snipe being charged back, either (unless I missed it).

So what games are really worth it to watch back. There's so much I dont know where to start. Watched the whole Yoshi's Island one which was amazing

yeah i can't help but feel like there'd be bigger uproar about moderately pricey stuff like conker being stolen. hell, i'm sure there'd be posts on twitter if even some cheap games were stolen.
but lol if someone went out of their way to steal a copy of vegas stakes. who would even bring that game to agdq

Yeah, I'm not sure if I buy it. We'll have to wait for someone at AGDQ to speak out.
Thanks for having us! It was really fun, especially GAFchat.
Yep. The Gafchat was a great idea!

No problem, its good to get the word out. And continuously improving these threads has been fun for me.
GAF chat for SGDQ will most likely be on IRC. There were too many problems with Twitch chat.
Mario lost levels, and 3, Megaman Race and Punch Out Nes/Wii I Need to watch a lot more thoughSo what games are really worth it to watch back. There's so much I dont know where to start. Watched the whole Yoshi's Island one which was amazing
I forgot, Shovel Knight was great too!

Woah woah woah... GAF chat was my favorite part of the event! What problems were there? Why don't you want another twitch GAF chat for SGDQ?

He's just saying it'll be hosted on IRC instead of Twitch.
Just watched the NG relay. :WOW

It's really just because the bonus stream was so short. At the time of the official stream ending, we had about 200 more posts this year than last year.

Too much nofunallowed and not enough Bonus?
Someone has the room rented tomorrow, and they don't have a place to stream from.

We had Twitch chat so people posted there instead of here

I posted here because Twitch would never give me the GAF room invite.
$1,490,299.11 (and still rising a bit), and they easily broke $1M without the humble bundle contribution which was $191,547.21

I think mostly because of Twitch chat. Many times I've stopped myself from posting in the thread because I didn't think my one liner warranted a post, and instead posted it in the chat.

GAF chat was great, I just think there is potential for it to be even better. And to do so, we need to switch platforms. IRC is easier to connect to, and doesn't require an invite and the domain will be static. A decent amount of people got booted from the group chat randomly, and it wouldn't load the chat if there were page refreshes.
More views this thread, less posts. GAF chat succeeded in some form.
Also, bonus stream was nothing this year. Last year we had almost a week.
I discovered a nice bunch of runners this year that I hadn't heard of before for whatever reason. Runnerguy, Michael Goldfish, Ysalamiri, Striker, Jakafur and a few more. In Strikers case, he didn't run anything but I went back and watched his Super Star Wars runs last year and they were really entertaining!
So yea, good haul this year!

Finally getting around to the I wanna be the Boshy run and I gotta say that it's already delivering 10 minutes in.
witwix is one funny dude. I have no idea what is happening in this game. lol
As others have recommend, everyone should check it out if they missed it: http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/b/607794022?t=7h44m

I didn't get a chance to post in this thread to much, if at all, dive I was busy multitasking while watching the stream. However I was with Mobile Twitch chat which is considerably better than Event Twitch Chat. Looking forward to SGDQ.
And yeah That Boshy run made me for Witwix mid stream lol.

Wow, making 3x the goal? That's great!
Wow, that's absolutely awful. It makes it even worse when you see stuff like Bomberman, and you can assume it belongs to one of the guys who did that run.
EDIT: Now users are saying it's fake. I hope that is the case!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
What games do you like to see in future GDQs?
My list include
Velocity 2X
Freedom Planet
Cadillacs vs. Dinosaurs
Final Fight
Off the top of my head atm
I'd love to see Cadillacs & Dinosaurs develop more of a following. Easily my favorite beat-em-up of all time.
Freedom Planet would be a solid choice, too.
A Pikmin 3 Missions and Battle Enemies Platinum run (DLC included) would be amazing. Partly because I struggle with Battle Enemies and it'd be cool to see the pros absolutely tear it apart.

Wow. The guy is a total sociopath. He's acting as if the guys of AGDQ are expected to give him free stuff. What a scumbag.
Seriously, what is this!?

Wow fuck that guy during the Arkham City run.
Also, this compilation needs the super bizarre donation during Dark Souls 2 run that said "this game is harder to beat than cancer" and the entire crowd going "ehhhh..."
I'd be surprised if Freedom Planet didn't show up during SGDQ. It's perfect for speedrunning.What games do you like to see in future GDQs?
