there are about 26 of these segments, these are the useless gdq timewaster fillers for the staff to get air time.
when they first started these a few years ago they were there to help keep the marathon on schedule since these could be cut.
they haven't cut a single one this year despite the schedule being fucked after day 1.
each one is 30 minutes to an hour, there is almost a full day of just BULLSHIT at this video game speedrun marathon.
