    I have to say, I really prefer the online approach to this event. The in-person events were always so boisterous.

    Also, there are less than 3 hours until the Super Mario 64 70 Star Blindfolded run! The same runner, Bubzia, did a 16 Star Blindfolded run at the last GDQ, and it was breathtaking. I am very much looking forward to this upcoming one.


    EDIT: It's finished. Here's the VOD. If you have any interest in it, I cannot recommend watching it enough. It was so unbelievably good. Also:

    Spoilers

    He got a PB!

      I really enjoyed the Sonic Adventure 2 run for the impressive technical skill of the runner. The co-commentators were also great. The GTA 3 run was a lot of fun due to the runner's personality....

      The GTA 3 run was a lot of fun due to the runner's personality. Upbeat and friendly without being over-the-top as some streamers are.

      I'll be checking out the Super Mario 64 stream; last year's was great. Thanks for mentioning it.

    SGDQ is a well known annual speedrunning non-stop marathon event that raises money for MSF (aka Doctors without Borders in the US). It runs 24/7 for the week it happens. It is online again...
