I love ESA, but it seems they have partnered with G2A this year for donations, which seems like a terrible terrible idea

Yeah there haven't been many threads about this in the past years. I've been more excited for this than SGDQ because the schedule has interesting games at better times for me. SGDQ schedule really sucked this year, only Tetris was for EU prime time.

Shame they're not doing the two stream format this time, I liked the crazy stuff in previous years like 16 hours of 100% Arkham City.

ohhhh there's gonna an Axiom Verge race tomorrow! I'm excited for that now

Oh wow Herc's Adventures also! I haven't played that game since I was young, don't remember it much but I do remember it being a pretty fun game

I'm slightly disappointed that Beyond Oasis didn't make it, since it's the only game I ever made a half-hearted attempted at speedrunning. It was on the schedule, but got removed.

Still, this schedule looks awesome and the stream is already great.

I'm kind of looking forward to Disgaea 2. Lesser known JRPG runs are often pretty fun, especially if they're broken

6 AM though D:

Great runner. TR2 run is a lot of fun. I sucked so bad at that game as a kid. Thanks for the information about ESA1016. First time I hear of it. Will follow it and definetly donate :) Love watching speedruns.

I thought I had e-mail notifications enabled for them? Thanks Twitch (or whoever's responsible), looks like I missed some interesting things already.

It's in the middle of nowhere somewhere in sweden, I assume people will arrive on the weekend

Wasn't last years in Norway? That had a cool glassy feel to it as well

The way the guy on the right is wearing his headset is cracking me up.

Hope they get the audio issues sorted and get someone mentioning donation incentives every now and then. I like not having donation comments being read personally but I assume it isn't permanent.
