not only are we ahead of last year(by something substantial like 150k), remember that there is still money not added from subs and stuff like that. Also the last 2-3 games are heavyhitters. Save vs. Kill the animals + a 3 hour long run of SM Odysee (in which surely a meme will develop for which everyone will spam donations)

Good points! I believe I was worried last year around this time too, only to (happily) be shown how hard the community can rally at the end of AGDQ!

Around 150k in 20 minutes or so. But then it kept going after the main run into the extra runs.

edit: Thats it. Its over. Next is ATTS. Awesome Time To Sleep.

Yeah same runner. It was 4 min over estimate. He failed a lot of skips and died several times causing change of path and some need for farm. I cannot but wonder if talking that much does not lower his concentration. I guess public does love it, but run itself was not crisp at all.

That Super Mario Odyssey run was absurd for donations. Glad to take part in some runs again and the festivities.

I'm ok with not so crisp run. I wouldn't know it myself as i'm not a speedrunner. Besides when i watch these events i want a fun/good commentary more than having good run.

I'd watch the worldrecord vods if i really wanted to watch a good run

Zeus was a bit too much for my taste too, but like in the past when he was running: If you like it, you will get highly entertained. Also he made the mentioned mistakes negligible and the run an entertaining experience.

And to recommend something i feel not many people would like: FF9. The run is really long, but its the perfect example of coming together, enjoying videogames and having a great time with friends. You have a game, people who really have mastered it and show that, lots of talks about kinda anything with laughter. You dont have to focuse on it the whole time to not miss tricks and skills, its more relaxing. Its over nine hours in the end, though.

There was some really nice stuff in there. Some low hp moments were unbelievable tense! I know not everything was planned, take the 5 hp against the cyberdemon - but that you try it means, you believe in your skills to do that. And that says much about showcasing things.

Many of the runs were extraordinary, the commentary was great, game choices were solid, format was excellent, and the "UI" of the stream was the best ever. Such a great event that keeps getting better. I had to stop myself from donating more than I could afford lol.

MrLlamaSC is a total boss when it comes to Diablo 2 runs

Very entertaining and smart strategies.

Finally got around to watching it. Pretty interesting speed run,especially because it's so unpredictable.

I didn't even know they did D2. I have to watch that tonight. While we're on the subject, what runs are must-watch for you guys? I ask because I probably only watched 25% of the whole event. I recall the mario games being good, Crash being good despite the constant interruptions from purple shirt, Jak being hilarious, and um.... some indie type game where you play a girl who turns into a cat played on insane difficulty. Damn what was that game called......
