FF7 is the run I wanted the most in this lineup. Can't get it live but will watch it later for sure.

I'm also a bit tired of lots of run going through wall and stuff, specially Metroid Prime. That was one of my favorite game to watch but now I can't stand it.

I mean, it's also not all black or white. Some game breaks are fine for me. Ex: the banjo kazooie runs was awesome.

How to make 100% sure you derail donation trains:

1. Let the Yetee once again snipe the 1,000,000 with a big donation.
2. Let the Yetee destroy one upcoming naming bidwar with a 10,000$ donation to name Ness in Earthbound ... after themselves. 'Yetee' is now 11k in front (2nd place is only at 670$) . I'm sure people are going to bid against that -.-

Have the FFVII runners gotten up and moved around at all? This long without any standing up is a perfect recipe for blood clots lol.

liking that the runner and couch people making fun of the continuity inconsistencies, gaping plot holes, and general nonsensical story. FF7 was my jam when it first came out when I was in junior high, but playing it again in my 20s, I was saddened how terrible it actually was.

Terrible is exaggeration, i gotta admit that FF7 test hard your suspension of disbelief sometimes but well it's not like the franchise never done (simply not getting away from the rails of a train, jumping waterfalls and searching for a single diving helmet that allows a group to travel underwater just happened a game before).

I take some dumb things in favor of nice scenes/gameplay segments.

My takeaway from seeing VII run was not "man, this game is terrible," but hey, to each their own

he was the runner for kingdom hearts, and he straight up yelled a cuss word. people have been fined and even banned from future events for such things. supposedly banned for, I should say, lots of contention about a large number of bans.

According to coomatty's posts in this thread, that's not true.

Just in case you missed it: Air Canada's twitter is staffed by more than their customer service dept. We were contacted about it.
Also, no one needs to walk on eggshells. The fact that we've only had to punish, what, 4 runners in the entire history of GDQ should say a lot. It takes way more than just dropping a swear word to get banned in any form at GDQ. Especially since many of those bans were not even for things the runners did on-stream.

There's always this cloud of rumors that pops up every GDQ about how people are getting banned and there's drama happening behind closed doors all the time. None of that seems to ever be true lol

TBF the drama with the runners is usually not the big drama of each gdq but even then the last quote you quote omits a part of the truth. Sure only 4 or so runners were outright banned from attending GDQ's but I could immidietly name you 2 runners who were banned from submitting runs for some time and 1 runner who was temporarily banned additionally to the 4 permantly banned guys.

Most GDQ drama normally has something to do with them becoming more PC and anti-fun every year, not necessarily with the runners per se. And Mike Uyama ofc tho there was no UyamaDrama for some time

Also Twitch Chat.

Where the Tony Hawk/Resident Evil/Spyro runs any good so far?
Haven't been able to catch a lot of runs sadly, the FF7/ Dark Souls 3 runs are good though!

It is like cyberdemon531 getting banned for the hat shenanigans at a previous gdq. At surface level it felt like an overreaction on the part of gdq but the guy has been a known shit-stirrer in the community for years. Dude has been banned from twitch tv and twitter since that MAGA hat incident.

I agree with the sentiment of gdqs being more strict than pre-2013 but there are a bunch of baseless rumors shoved in with the legit criticism.

I think the worst part of FF7 for me is that it was the beginning of a hard shift from fantasy mixed with a little steampunk to full on anime tropes and architypes, and a haphazard mishmash of everything tossed into their fantasy settings.
