There are quite a lot uninteresting games for speedrunning in this event. Super Mario 64 is one of those games where speedrunning really shines so would prefer more than just 1 run of it. Also more people have played Mario 64 so if I were to show this event to friends it's better when they know the game and can appreciate the skill the players have. | ||

They've actually done things like that for SM64 before  For example, I think it was last year or the year before that had 120 stars as one run (Siglemic?) and then Peaches did a one-handed fast glitched run. And this year after the 120 race, they showed off modded multiplayer. So sometimes they show more of a game than just 1 speed run, even though it's not necessarily everything the game can offer. | ||

Plus as we are people from all over the world watching this, you could also have them at different timezones too, which would also decrease the chance of people seeing the same game twice. But rather another Mario 64 run than 90% of the games this event.

Yeah I saw the event with Siglemic This year I missed Mario 64 because it was in an awful timeslot for Eu (3am -> 6am) and I can't be up that late because of life and stuff | ||

Or just bad jokes? Watch "Transformers: Devastation" Because I don't like 3D-Samus I watched Hotline Miami and LVL1 Sephiroth. Just great! And did I hear correctly? Crypt of the Necrodancer is something to check out? | ||

Sorry but running through L4D2 as 4player on easy is not really that difficult to do. Barely any optimization was done in that run as well.. Then it always helps if the streamer is funny as well, like TheMexicanRunner who ran Lion King yesterday | ||

I made sure to include the Reddit link to all VODs in the OP, so I recommend watching it (and the funny multiplayer mod) once you have a free 2 hours | ||

When you give extra timeslots to popular games then it's at the expense of fringe games. Some of those fringe games have been amazing like Metal Wolf Chaos at SGDQ last year and Transformers this year (and others haven't). It's part of the charm of the GDQs. | ||

Interesting. Yah this was a donation incentive. The end of the week run is reverse boss order as part of the RBO block which will be pretty hype. | ||
