AGDQ is always expensive for me ... I don't want to look into the tracker to check, but I'm sure that it is way down in 4digit region after the last few years!

And Blizzard is really badass to donate something like that! This will definitely compete against whatever big-overall-price you are going to raffle!
I hope to win (anything... I donated so much money and I'm still sitting on one - admittedly the very best ever - price overall!)

Is that going to be the major prize for AGDQ?

The current grand prize is going to be a roughly 2 foot square piece of custom stained glass in a Zelda related pattern of some sort. If the statue is going to be added as a grand prize is up in the air, but Mike sounds reluctant for some reason. It's easily the most valuable prize on the whole lineup. Maybe if you send him a message or something.

Because 90% of the actual runners are on vacation, enjoying the holidays or in the case of a select few actually getting ready to go to AGDQ. Well that and scrambling to get the AGDQ thread finalized and ready to go.

Earlier was watching ovendonkey stream his AGDQ practice for the mirror's edge race, just beat his PB.

Hope Daniel has been practicing and can give him a good race!

Halo runs have gotten very popular recently. Or at least Goatrope (A Halo 1 streamer) has gotten popular.

I've been excited since new years day. My sleep schedule is already beyond messed up.

One day to AGDQ! *hype*
I will try to run along the SupeMeatBoy duel. Probably crap out, because my PC makes the game go faster ... or different ... and many of my old timings are not working anymore; also I'm bad, I never completely finished the game (still missing one bandage and one level...)

With AGDQ over I'm probably going to work on my TC:SO run again.
But it's hard to get motivated to play it when literally no one is out there to challenge it =/

Warcraft3+TFT all campaign on hard race with the #gta guys on the 17th, then I'm probably gonna try to learn Vice City 100%. It's time to get back to it.

My immediate plan is to get back to Owlverlord, since I can still trim ~10-15 seconds off that run. I've been practicing offstream during the AGDQ runs I didn't want to pay full attention to and it's been going pretty well, so hopefully I can tackle this before the end of the month but we'll see.

Also I bought a bunch of games so I should play those, but that's not directly related to speedrunning.

-Route D2TWID

Like I told you in your stream chat, let me know when you're going to do this, I'd be interested in joining you.

Submit a 358/2 beginner run
Beat Irico's 358/2 proud run
Actually do a 100% beginner / proud 358/2 run
Work on the 358/2 ILs
Maybe go to ESA 2014 if I have money. Possibly offer a bidding war of all the portable Kingdom Heart games bar BBS.
