Awesome Games Done Quick 2015

You can connect to the quakenet chat. It's pretty much the same as your typical giantbomb livestream chat. There's a webclient on the site but you can use any client to connect to it, should be server irc.quakenet.org, room #sdamarathon.

@tonyblue87: Just came back up for me. I ended up just watching on the GDQ homepage, they have an IRC thing there I used to get to GB chat.

The French have jumped ahead again, but not by that much. HELP REACH BEAT CANCER, BEAT THE FRENCH, AND SUPPORT AFG. Donate now https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/bid/2684

Yeah, Explosive runs is dead for me also.

@demoskinos: Hover dns servers are being ddosed.

JUST 60 DOLLARS TO GO THANKS TO AMAFI AND MYGGEN. LETS GO DUDERS AND BEAT THOSE FRENCHIES.

Well, I did my part! :)

Yeah. Sorry about those DDOS attacks against Hover's nameservers keeping you guys away from the site. You might be able to get to it by going here: www.explosiveruns.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com

We were just about $60 away from Air Force Gator... Then... $300 away.
GAH!

We can still do it though the power of positive thought and selling blood.

#TeamAFG

IDK man. $422.01 behind John_Lennon now.
I can't post that much. Already threw as much as i can.

Arrrrgh they started Silent Hill earlier than planned >.< was getting up early for that run.

@chaser324: Yeah, its weird. If you test the main URL it says its up but It won't actually load for me. Even tried flushing my DNS in chrome. The S3 address you posted works though.

Was just donating to AGDQ and saw the Air Force Gator thing on the voting page. I knew that must have come form here so came to find this thread. I put my $50 towards it but we seem a big chunk shy of winning with not much time to go. Shame.

Thanks everyone for your donations! There is only a short time before the Elder Scrolls. Maybe 20 minutes at most.

Can we get any more last minute donations for Air Force Gator for Morrowind?

We can do this! Just $20 or more from a number of GBers can get this to happen. I know there are European fans up. Let's make this happen!

Edit:

Well we lost, we need to take some lessons from this. We have to make sure to pick a game which is run at US-friendly hours. Also we probably all donate to 1 goal.

What/Who is Bob Lennon?

We did it. Kind of.
We didn't get the name, but we got the race. Shame because the character is a flying magic lizard. Ah well. Long live AFG!

Well, at least they said Air Force Gator on stream?

Let's get Alex's Big Rigs train going!

It's a shame Air Force Gator didn't come out on top but the community raised $2,765 for a great cause, which is a win in my book.

Also @demoskinos you might want to add something about Alex being on the stream on Thursday to the first post just so more people are aware.

What's this now?

@almostswedish: YUP

also there is a donation incentive for him to show off the infinite speed glitch, needs to hit $3k, currently its at $37

DONATE

Sure, I'll throw some money that way.

@meatsofevil: I don't see it on the list.

Haha, just heard a donation dedicated to Patrick.

Same here, didn't catch what it went towards, something about naming a character Scoops.

@mracoon: It's listed as Totally Rad for some reason

@mracoon: It's under "Totally Rad"

@poveren: The incentive is for naming the Shovel Knight save file "Scoops", currently the highest bid is for "M.SAPIN" at $500

@meatsofevil: Oh, I found it.

Here's the link to Alex's bid incentive if anybody wants to contribute. Maybe this could be a new community goal, it's simpler because we're not competing against anyone.

I thought it'd be nice that, after his many years here at Giant Bomb, we might thank Patrick with some donations to Prevent Cancer.

The truth is... Shovel Knight = Scoops.

Shovel Knight. Equals. Scoops.

We already have $30 right now toward making the Shovel Knight file name "Scoops" in honor of Patrick "Scoops" Klepek, and the current top amount is only $500. We have over 12 hours to overcome that amount and go even higher, and with it finishing around 7:30PM CST in the US, we have a great chance of getting it done during primetime US hours.

This is both possible and thanks a guy who has contributed so much to this site.

Once a duder, always a duder. Name Shovel Knight = "Scoops" !

I'm not on GAF or /r/Giantbomb on Reddit; so, if folks wanna run with it and make kind of a fun farewell gesture to Patrick, please do share it around. We can raise even more money to help prevent Cancer!

I tweeted about it, and it'd be awesome if you did, too. Show Scoops some love! :)

Ahhhh so going to guess the morrowind thing didn't work? I ended up getting pulled into raiding on FFXIV around 1am and once I was done basically had to go straight to sleep.

Shovel Knight is the new hotness? I'll update thr thread when I get home. OR a Mod has my blessing to do the edit for me if you guys wanna get that up now.

Definitely donating to Both the Scoops and Alex goals. Hoping we reach the goal(s) (and also secretly hoping to hear my name on the stream lol)

I think you should concentrate on the Scoops goal and not the Alex one. Knowing Big Rigs as I do, I'm pretty sure the speed glitch donation goal is a joke.

This Monkey Ball run is fucking insane

Yeah, pretty sure it's going backwards. heh.

Come on, duders! We still have a few hours, and we can at least make this competitive!

Please donate for "Scoops" as Shovel Knight to help Prevent Cancer!

(Though thanks to everyone for your Big Rigs donations. That's super cool of you, too! But let's at least get $100 for Patrick!)

Marriage Hype

Ok, that Tetris shit was insane

The scoops thing isn't going to fly. We're 600 dollars behind and there's 10 minutes until the run roughly.

I see all of eternity in those Tetris blocks.

My brain hurts watching this Tetris stuff.

Wow. I just watch a guy play invisible Tetris at 200 miles an hour.

There's Tetris, and then there's Tetris.

Goddamn that Tetris stuff was crazy. Continues to be crazy. Wasn't Drake's Shovel Knight run supposed to start now? Really looking forward to donating for that one since I knew Drake ages ago from another forum. Used to be Steam Friends until he had to make room for some eSports people or something. I wasn't exactly clear what he was up to then. It was a surprise to see his name pop up in connection to Shovel Knight, then AGDQ, then World Record of Shovel Knight. Surprising!

Oh, also wow. We're literally 900 dollars behind on Scoops right now. Crazy. There's no hope of getting that short of Notch coming down and giving us a grand.

@themasterds: I know Capndrake well. Who are you on steam? And yes he's up next.

That Grandmaster Tetris block was awesome. My mind is completely blown. The way these guys play Tetris is ineradicable!

@hassun: Same person I am here, TheMasterDS. We didn't play much together mind, generally just chatted and such about dumb shit often related to forum stuff.

@themasterds: Which forum was it.
