(Clearly we're here due to awful circumstances, but) I really like this lower-key GDQ feel.
Coming up on 125k. Hope we can hit 250 by this evening.

I can tell you it's been much easier to mod. Seems the large majority of people that usually flood the chat with spam and call it "memes" are either watching DreamHack or just haven't crawled out of their basements yet as they're still hibernating for AGDQ

You haven't missed it all yet! It is currently projected to wrap at around 10 PM EDT but if there are incentive runs added to the schedule it might go later as well. Check out the VoDs if you have something you wanted to see but if you are inclined to donate, any time is fine!

Jumping back in. What is even happening in this LttP race? Am I still asleep?
I see.. Cool.

They're using the Randomizer to shuffle the positions of all the items in the game. They're also going without picking up/using the sword.

This is actually really fun/neat cause of how on the fly everything becomes.

LttP Randomizer is so addicting. I think I'll play a seed or two after this.

Yeah, neat idea for a race. Not just raw execution, also about improvisation. It being a "virtual" stream is a nice bonus as I assume racers can't accidentally pick up information by screen peaking.
Also creates a sort of nice meta-knowledge where the audience knows a bit more by combining info and anticipating as they get close.

Dude it really is. My PB for it was 2:45:17. Not really a great time, but I am proud of it.
edit: Also keep in mind that when you run LTTP random, it doesnt HAVE to be swordless. You can choose the difficulty before you make the rom. You can make it so that it doesnt require any major glitches too. I also highly recommend using the map/item tracker that theyre using if its your first time.

Holy crap how did I miss this? God I haven't been spending enough time on Gaming side lately! What's been good to watch so far?
Yeah I kinda wish we could pin this to the top of the gaming page somehow. Its not really getting the recognition of other AGDQ's.

listen to the mad man
If it's FF4:
There is a bug to finish the game quickly by going through 64 doors/floor transitions at the right time. The actual way that it works is complicated but the short version is that it skips most of the game so it's a separated category.
Nice - I've never actually beaten IV, so watching a full playthrough is gonna be awesome.
Also, this Zelda randomizer seems cool as heck.

I was a dork and missed a bunch of this, but I'll try and catch FF4 at the end. It's cool that the GDQ guys decided to do this, it's for people who will really need it.

For those that missed it, they had more webcam fun during Chrono Trigger:
It's not too late to donate, however, and VoDs are a thing! HRDQ is in its last run but donations should still be taken for another three or so hours.
For the record I asked for a sticky in addition to the thread title change when we switched this thread from news to OT, but I guess mods didn't agree it was sticky-worthy. There's only so much I can do to make sure people who might have been interested in this would find out it existed considering we're not even 4-5 days into conception of the idea.

Looks like donations crossed the $200,000 mark! Impressive, but tracking low for a GDQ. A bit over an hour left, keep going!

just wasn't enough time to hype this to bring in a larger donation total, it would seem.

200k in 48 hours is amazing, it's not a week long event and was thrown together in 3 days it's amazing when you look at it like that.

Seems there will be a replay of the entire marathon starting at 8 AM EDT tomorrow. YouTube uploads of runs are being worked on too but there is no ETA currently. GamesDoneQuick.com has also been updated with new AGDQ dates (registration and submission deadlines were pushed back a week to accommodate HRDQ).
