ESA soon.
Stream 1: https://www.twitch.tv/esamarathon
Schedule: https://esamarathon.com/schedule/

>>713813637 (OP)
>24/7 stream back
>Stream 2 is back
I can't wait to spend this week with you niggas

>>713813637 (OP)
I dunno why but I thought it starts today. Oh well, just gotta wait one more day.

>>713814086
GDQ starts shortly after ESA so technically it will be 2 weeks

Why was the old thread deleted?

>soon
>it's not actually soon
You've swindled me

>>713816541
Less than twelve hours is soon :^)

You're like 36 hours early bro.

>>713816598
math is hard :^) make a thread one hour before it starts.

>>713816746
Saturday is tomorrow, Anon.

>>713815083
The website says it starts today for some reason, I also thought this

>>713817481
>The website says it starts today for some reason

>>713817547
very cool

theres never been a greater time to be unemployed

>>713814086
same same

>>713817812
yeah in their timezone

>>713817812
Anon, there are these things called timezones...

Shame they don't do the thing the other event does where they stream a day of last year's highlights in the lead-up to the current event.

>>713818397
>>713818814
ESA starts on the 28th no matter what time zone we are talking about. Either way, I think the image i posted >>713817812
here is referring to when the event is open to eventgoers, not when it actually starts.

>esa tomorrow
>think i'm getting a cold
Annoying.

anyone got plumbooru url?

ESA is back? Last I heard it was gone.

Also, did they adopt Plum yet?

>>713822172
I uploaded a bunch of images to vidya.pics a few years ago, I don't know if there's a more complete collection by now

>ESA
Time to get comfy.

I'm glad it's back but man this schedule is so shit. Maybe one game a day I would tune into and that's being generous. Hopefully they hit their stride again building up to the winter marathon.

When Plum?

>NOLF2
Oh shit

I thought esa died

>>713824492
They were only taking a break

>>713824492
so did i. last esa was like a cancer patient on lifesupport

>>713824538
>Taking a break
That's a weird way to put cleaning house and reorganizing their shit after the last three year shit storm

>>713813637 (OP)
Holy fuck it's really been a year since the last ESA and a year and half since the Mario Sunshine redemption arc.

>>713815193
Maybe because this schizo starts making generals a week ahead of time. two hours early is fine but even I had it with his worthless spam.

>>713813637 (OP)
we're so back

>>713817547
>>713817812
But its European should it be in Euro time zones/

>>713824663
It was just last week that we were watching that dramatic video announcing the break.

>>713824663
STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD. How long ago was it since the Mario Sunshine fail?

>no bigjon

>>713826920
He wasn't offered free eggrolls.

>League of Legends 00:20 AEtienne 1v5 (With Bots)

what the fuck happened to ESA

>>713813637 (OP)
SGDQ starts directly after ESA, BASED

>>713814086
>>713815083
comfykino awaits

>>713826970
he was offered 3 runs
he dropped out

>missed the sign up for sgdq so I can't go
I'll just hang out outside the venue watching the Troon behavior I guess. No sneak photos of that keizaron or kffc for me sigh

Is Bigjon coming?

>>713827376
>20 minute break
nothing wrong here

IM A HEADBANGA

>>713827376

>>713828638
You could probably look up the SGDQ badge design, print it out on some cardstock, and laminate it, and their bitch-ass enforcers wouldn't bother to check it

>>713829150
staff are a clique
they know exactly who is and isn't allowed at the cool kids table

>>713813637 (OP)
I've only ever watched gdq. what percentage of the runners are troons?

>>713829328
Bro, they don't give a fuck about the little people. GDQ stopped being an event where you actually know >50% of the attendees more than a decade ago. It's just a convention now. They won't even look at you.
That said, I wasn't looking at the "taking pictures" comment, so that might attract attention (but that's just for being a weirdo).

>>713827376
Mekarazium did a Dota vs bots speedrun for ESA one year and it was ludo

>>713828704
>>713828630
>>713826920
>>713826970
his broke, no viewers ass hasn't been able to fundraise to attend for years now

>>713828185
Dogwater Runs is in July too, I think. So if it all lines up, we could get three straight weeks of marathon.

>>713829840
>t. mekazarium
cheat moar faggot

>>713832002
Shouldn't you be busy dealing with trying to find a way to pay off the lawsuit, Jobst?

>>713825367
I was there for /ourguy/ the last time and I will be there again

>>713829950
he was there in 2023
he doesn't even stream anymore
he runs a passive interactive gameshow stream 24/7 for about a dozen people
If he did actually stream he could have raised the funds to go

didn't this thing die last year or so

>>713834480
yes
the post above you is why it died

>>713834583
She was the cherry on the top.
Volunteer were overworked.
Turns out ESA is ran by retards.

>In Sound Mind
I wouldn't have expected to see that at a speedrun event.

>>713835003
This, there was also that shit with the scheduling team right? Can't remember the details because shitty memory.
Makes me wonder if there was some shit between those two and Fatzke leaving, seeing as he wasn't even there for his farewell.

>>713834454
>>713834753
Hope she got banned for life

>>713834154
oh man old esa threads were great

>>713837150
>old
It's only been 2 years

>>713824864
metakobros... they're laughing at us

I NEED MORE CHARTS
GIVE ME THOSE CHARTS

>>713837327
a lots changed to esa so feels like old times

>>713834480
I'm always confused why people get so easily drawn into a baseless lie, maybe not necessarily a lie but a headcanon that isn't based on anything factual.
If you watched ESA last year then it ended on the announcement that winter ESA isn't held but summer ESA is normally like always, so where the fuck are you getting the idea 'it died'?

>>713837674
>Eurotruck Simulator 2
What the fuck happened?

>>713837804
It was a better time

>>713837804
People had fun despite covid.

>>713837920
I remember how mad people were because gdq was still remote lmoa

He's on.

>>713838596
ENTER

>>713838694
does he have to stomp right on the cables

>>713838780
Do you think he can even see where he's stepping?

>>713838694
Google, play Real Big by Mannie Fresh

>>713837412
You know they are embedded images right?

>>713837561
That's not true, they said it was on hiatus for the foreseeable future.

I thought ESA was kill.
Cool to see they're back, though the last event was pretty shitty.
Also wish Maral was there

>>713839412
Even if they were (they're not), so what?

>>713839707
>he doesn't know

>>713840173
>so what?

Anyone watching the Derpathon right now as we wait for ESA?

>>713834753
why did she do it?

>>713839481
Not true, they were very keen on doing summer as per usual. Only winter was put on indefinite hiatus.

START ALREADY

Both Dayoman and /ourtroon/ are in

>>713842864
Is it mandatory to have someone run spyro on every fucking marathon?

>>713842864
>Dayoman
Peak tryhard self-ingratiating jew.

No Joshimuz or even a single GTA on the event.

>>713842245

>>713843676

will the queen be there?

>>713844934
I'm glad. They need to start speed runing other games

>>713845150
like pokemon?

Not reading the thread. What changed where they decided to bring it back? I was under the impression it would be gone for years.

>1 week of ESA
>followed by 1 week of GDQ
>followed by 1 week of ASM
July's going to be a great month

>Secondary monitor dies
>ESA tomorrow
AAAAAAAA

>>713845240
I hate pokemon too. I wish they had some other games that were interesting to speed run, rather than having the same couple of games every year

>>713839545
theyre back to 24hr and two-stream, it will be good

Just in time. Needed something to watch now that Fishtank is dead

>>713846184
>have to share a thread with you Talmudvision-watching retards

I thought ESA was dead and buried?

>>713846380
*sigh* somehow ESA returned...

>>713846184
Why would you watch that?
Feels like that is just a pity stream for watching people feed off each other misery

>>713846380
Turns out you CAN unrape someone

>>713846451
He's a failed normalfag.

>>713846380

What happen to Plum's game? Did it sell well?

Huh, ESA this summer...I thought they were on hiatus or something?

Sounds like you had a good morning, saar.

>>713850867
Stop clicking on purple links.

Can’t wait for a nice, full glass brimming with her warm, nutritious pee.

>>713851213
The funniest thing is that she was actually somewhat based while Lovare was the real PoS

I miss Maral bullying other girls...

>>713850598
Usually theres shit to do in the side rooms as well.

>>713851213
The joint ESA+GDQ thread will be chaos.

What happened?

>>713853323
All obscure speedrunning lore is destined to be buried by the sands of time

How is the hotel going to be able to support BigJon and RebelDragon being in it at the same time? It's going to collapse.

BigJon and RebelDragon together? Oh my goodness gracious.

>ESA is back
I missed you, nerds.

just 8 more hours

>>713855954
fuck, I should get some sleep...

Are we allowed to have ESA threads now?

>>713856771
We always were, but the event doesn't start for another 10 hours

>>713857075
Nah they were getting culled recently

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>713857419
shame he's not gonna be there this year

>>713857116
>recently
There hasn't been an ESA event for a year... it isn't surprising that threads advertising the event returning are getting culled. Occupational hazard.

The last event I watched with /v/, I was getting Twitch ads... What blockers are you guys using? If I'm interrupted every 20 minutes by an ad I'm not watching it.

>>713857508
He had runs accepted, what happened?

Is Yato unbanned?

>>713858337
He was never banned.

>>713858198
TTV LOL PRO works mostly fine on my end.

>>713858364
He was!

>>713858416
Back up your claims or stand down.

bring back the comfy 15 hour preshow RPG stream, cowards

>>713858376
Please do not spoonfeed faggots who are likely Twitch advertisers.

any comfy rpgkino on stream one or two?

Monday looking comfy

ETA till it starts? damn I work tomorrow gonna miss the first few runs probably

>>713861984
T minus 8 hours

>>713861984
6 bongs and 11 bings

>>713858887
I was just about to say this looks fucking garbage

3 long-ass RPGs in a row and then another long-ass RPG on stream 2 at the same time? what a blunder

the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best

>>713855850
Anyone got the ESA song of Coco's shirt? It's unlisted on youtube or some shit and I don't have it saved.

can any of you autists make a list of all girls (female) and girls (male) runners so I can know when to tune in

>>713864981
Kek, hope we get some cuties.

>>713866160
(cuties)

>>713858453
He was banned for being too white and spewing white supremacist propaganda.

>>713849467
Stop animal abuse!

Speedrun entries should be capped at 1 hr. Maybe an exception for really good ones at 1.5 hrs absolute max. Anything beyond that can get fucked

>>713868696
I'll try my hardest.
Maybe it's time for a slingkini this year.

>>713869647
Eat your adhd pills.

>>713869720
Learn to go to sleep without white noise you aspie fuck. No one needs a 6 hr JRPG run

I do.

I do not care for Plum.

Trying to recreate the magic I see.

>>713869689
you should draw Plum wearing Uma's magical outfit someday

no tinytim runs... sad

The fridge is loaded, I'm fucking ready to watch it for 20 minutes and then just do something else while it plays in the background

>>713813637 (OP)
I bet it's very fun watching a girl (guy) playing a game while support desperately tries to make it entertaining (and fails)

>>713872043
Thanks, anon.
If I get the chance soon, first come first serve I'll put her in that outfit.
Pantyshot included right?

>>713872135
many such cases

Might make Digimon World: Next Order my game of choice while watching this week. Seems cosy and will get me in the mood for Time Stranger.

>>713872231
could be nopan too honestly, whatever comes to your vision when you imagine mahou shoujo Plum. I liked the tiny pantyshot view you did for pokemon trainer Plum which is quite in line with how Uma shows off hers in the show few times

>>713872573
>nopan
Plum must be getting desperate, but that'd be a completely new thing hmmm
Many choices.
See you during the event for the Plum drop

>look at the schedule
>go through all runners
>nobody of the annoying clique is there except that one black dude from the netherlands
Maybe we can have a good time this time. Chances are the tranny mod isnt even here anymore or cares.

>>713872659
see you soon mate, nopan Plum definitely feels fresh realm, something never seen before!
could go for double version of same image with and without, just gotta invent the mishap that covers her precious spot so nopan's 'safe' in the end

>>713872815
Imagine the threads without constant fag drama and attention whore posting from the runners.
Just speedruns from literally whos where you dont know what to expect.
Absolute heaven.

>>713872991
ESL of ESA lmao

Good mornyan /srg/

>>713874374
Take your meds anon /srg/ is dead

>>713874374
good morning

>>713851415
qrd on prize mommy?

>>713876247
Claims she almost got raped and staff didnt really care

>>713876425
Its Sweden, getting raped is mandatory

>>713876532
yeah idk she dropped a lot of gossip about why she left when ESA was circling the drain a year ago, like some guy would sniff her hair when in the room alone with her and staff being like "lol dw" but it felt like she was trying to play the victim game

wait what? the bois are back? i thought esa imploded and they just left the channel to rot with replays

>>713876691
Isn't it 3 hours and 10 minutes? (7 now)

>>713876820
3 hours yeah

>>713877103
I thought it started in 10 hours.

>>713874753

No it's right there bro. Come in.

What games are we playing before the marathon?

I'm gonna kill this fucker even if it kills me to

>>713858281
bigbitch drops out of 90% of ESA events he gets accepted into and gives some sob story as to why

I'm awake. The only reason I come to /v/ has returned for a while.
Looking forward to it.

How tranny infested is ESA compared to GDQ?

GDQ is unwatchable

>>713827376
>what the fuck happened to ESA
they added a spyro tranny to scheduling

>>713880556
Used to be not at all, but lately theres been a few, I think last ESA there were maybe 4 runners. ESA was also the event where one managed to pass for the run and had anons thirstposting till they found out it was a tranny and made the whole thread gay.

>>713870440
The possibility is still there, just remains to see if they have the balls to deliver.

>>713880940
literally no one can match metako's and leonis's charisma though
then again doesn't hurt to try I guess

When’s it fookin start

>>713881432
when the fat lady starts singing

>>713864760
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JlF5H13fdI

im so fucking ready

>>713881297
Here, you're forgetting how good the MrZwanzig run of FF9 was two summers ago. Metako was the reader, fair, but the couch had an absolute blast

remember when ESA wasn't gay and lame? I remember

I am ready.

>>713881748
>Google not gay and lame ESA
>all links are purple
???

>>713844549
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

at least we have 2 streams...

>>713844934
that sucks

>>713882284
That's GDQ, anon.
Though even ESA has 3 (and of course two are happening when stream 2 is down).

>>713881475
That's when it facken' ends

>>713882429
she(male) speedrunned it

>>713882374
Good pokemon runs are hard to come by, and yet they bring in so much money and views. It's a barbed blade.

>>713882374
>That's GDQ, anon.
oh..

>>713878876
he needs to stop applying and sort his shit out before he takes up someone else's slot.

didnt this get cancelled due to behind the scenes femcel drama?

It's not looking good, bros...

>>713884850
it actually doesn’t mention transphobia or transsexuals

rent free

>>713885213
Broski? Your UKSG?

>>713885213
They've only superficially done shit like having stream 2 back, they've not changed the underlying issues with management and shit, so a lot of the old names have refused to come back.

>>713884908
he hasn't even posted in a year...

>>713885213

Eh we had plenty of Tim during that other marathon. Let the man have a rest or his heart might explode.

>>713885230
do it in chat and see then anon

ITS HAPPENING

OVER FOUR HUNDRED VIEWERS WE ARE BREAKING RECORDS

Shit it's been a while, what do we use to stop twitch ads now?

>>713885294
>so a lot of the old names have refused to come back.
Good riddance to most of them

>>713835003
Yeah a lot of staff had walked out six months or more before that, all she did was start an avalanche of more walkouts from people who thought it was just them dealing with Edenal and Planks' bullshit.
>>713836140
Das posted a fair bit about Edenal screwing over scheduling, I think she said something about him wanting to keep replacing entire teams every marathon, which seems to be what has happened.

Any ESA twitch jannies here that can unban me?

>>713885592
I blame the reruns that they have all year round, there's no way to tell if they're actually live without specifically checking

>>713885696
Depends on your region and a lot of luck, I use Grayjay.

>>713885724
are you going to say the nigger word?

Metako lost
Edenal won

you'll have to try what works for you

I just want to see the chat and be able to chat..

>YOU'RE TOO SLOW
oh fucking god I hoped they'd removed that

Oh good, they haven't got rid of the stupid sound effects.

I was positive thr stream started at 9pm sweden time not my time. Fuck

So what do you think the reason is that they brought back 24 hours and stream 2:
>1. They're desperate to bring back good faith and viewers?
>2. They actually realized it was a dumb move?

>>713885906
HEHEHE ITS SO FUNNY

>sound effects
>attention whore hosts between every run
>probably no TTS on Stream 2
Nice, they haven't learned a thing since the last event

Hardly any of the known names are there. They weren't there last year either. This is essesntially a reboot.

>>713885896
Even Hasbro of the Coast is expanding their crossoverslop to Sonic, did you think they would have dropped that?

>>713885305
Man I hope he's doing ok.
>>713885921
The former, it's also a lot easier to do and wave about than it is to unfuck the deeper issues with ESA, especially since Edenal and Planks will never move aside.

BALD

>>713885213

BALD AND BLURRY.

>immediately starts with speedrun
Thank you, no one wants a sob speech.

>All those empty seats
Oof.

>>713885967
Considering Edenal and Planks still refuse to step down when it's literally their fault the events went to shit I don't expect much to change

>>713886010
>did they learn nothing?
The "hiatus" was so they didn't have to learn anything.

Secret option 3:
>They want to placate the ESA viewership by making superficial changes such as bringing back stream 2 and 24 hours to give off the idea that they're making changes and listening to the audience while not addressing the major internal problems at all.

oof

NOOOOO

we're back

>ad 1 of 7
what the fuck

>>713886118
Yeah the schedule is about as bleak as the last one, just with a second stream this time.

I'm not expecting a lot out of this marathon, I'm mostly just using it as an opener for GDQ and ASM.

Why is someone here doomposting so much about the event? It's like they have a personal vendetta or something

>hiding ads
uhh im glad this is getting blocked but what the fuck this is taking forever

bro the stream just started, why am I getting ads AIEEE LET ME JUGGLE MY TWITCH BLOCKERS AND SEE WHICH ONE WORKS

woah, what the FUCK is my streamlink doing

>>713886176
>>713886204
try TTV LOL PRO

>>713886217
why defend this shit?

>>713877880
Got him, and with enough time to do a walk before the first run. Today is good

>watching on twitch phone app
>zero ads

>>713886217
post plums to counter the doom

>>713872135
Best way to enjoy it is to save your attention for the threads and for specific runs you're looking forward to

>>713886124
Cause every time Edenal talks we all shit on him

>>713886217
It's cool bro, I'll post some Heretic instead.

I would visit the event, I live 20min away from there. But it's 2000sek to just attend, that's so much for an event like that.

>>713886250
I had that turned on...I turned it off to see if it works for next time.
>>713886257
If you're not gonna watch then fuck off, no one gives a shit. We're here to watch speedruns.

>the losers on the other side of the iron curtain are watching ads right now
I love my country glory to our PRESIDENT.

Feels good not seeing a single ad and also not having to watch throught Twittch's horrendous website.

Seems they still have the poor layout with the huge couch and small game window. Even 4:3-games could be displayed at least a bit larger with a better layout, that's not really fun to watch.

Is that a tranny

My stream is like 240p

>>713886317
>2000sek
no way. I'd expect 200

>>713885213
>>713886082

you’re here for cringe and troons
don’t lie

>>713886217
>someone
it's you know who

Cam is a bit too big, but the layout is way better than GDQ at least.

Frankly I'm glad I don't recognize anyone on the schedule aside from a couple people, give new blood a chance.

>>713886341
The wall in the background is taking up a retarded amount of the screen

>>713886382
Nah. Need detailed crowd for webms

they'll break 1k right?

>>713886358
>>713886317
They have to pay for security so there are no more sexual assauts

I forgot that runners always have a spotlight in their faces no matter which event it is. I could never sit in front of a spotlight and play games, for one I'm a pasty motherfucker so /v/ would call me a vampire.

>>713886459
Wew

they could at least read donos while this long ass trick is going on

>>713886447
He's always at every EU based speedrun, I wonder how he finds the money and time. Is he rich and unemployed?

>>713886459
That's a lot of SEKs

>hirexen on the schedule for Tiny Toon Adventures later on
How worried should we be? anyone know if that game is easy to fuck up?

>>713886317
$200 for a weeklong event that's paying for a hotel is what I expect though, but I agree it's too high for a casual dropin.

What in gods name

>>713886459
>europeans have to pay in sex
wtf

>>713886385
They had that the last ESA out of necessity to fill a lot of vacated time slots back up.

>still fucking up on the obstacle 1 out of 4

>>713886526
Professional Mr Blobby impersonator.

happy to see the event is back

bros...go on without me....

This is boring.

Fuck, the ads got me with powerade shit.

why are they starting with this unknown slop

>>713886385
Its refreshing to see new faces, feels like a reboot. Also noticed no intro so Edenal may be taking a step back as an on screen figure.

The new faces may be them giving new people a chance and we get some good hidden gem runs, or it may be that nobody was applying so they accepted anyone so they may be a disaster. We won't know until the end.

>>713886702

THIS IS A SPEEDRUN

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

>>713886753
The new scheduling team are Playstation runners.

They should go back to their roots and skip the fancy hotel in Malmö and go back to renting a school gym or something.

I don't actually see the ad because it opens a new one, but boy if I walk away with the stream open I'll come back to a surprise

>>713868172
Based, every now and then I see one of your other works on the board. Love your style

Christ, this is a good opening volley. If this block isn't fun, it's not the event's fault
>>713886485
It's annoying, but when you're sat down for a marathon run, you're basically already stressed and locked in. With those instincts, you can't find yourself complaining too much, or else you probably wouldn't have the nerves to even do a good run at all. You essentially accept that you're not going to give your best possible run, you just hope to give a decent or funny version of it with the marathon handicap

>>713886567

She's behind a donation wall isn't she?

god....35 mins of slop

>>713886312
kek

>>713886819
I agree 100% with this. Especially since we are past the peak of interest for speedrunning and have been in a decline for years now. Or at least it seems like it. Downsizing is the best way to go and it wouldn't just decrease price of admission, but also help foster better feel for the events.

>>713886985
That's ok bro, Hexen is cool too.

Donations never change, huh

If the viewership is high its completely their own fault for constantly being online showing random runs and so nobody can tell when this thing starts. Also the lack of intro didn't help just bam into runs.

>>713887125
Greetings from Germany.

At least they didn't bring back the donation reader appearing on screen

>>713887147

>>713887348
wow a 10-year old cuck joke, surely they won't catch this one
>t. clever anon

>two ads broke through in ten mins
Yeah I'm remembering this shit was bad the last time with ESA, supposedly they had it for maximum ads to compensate for lost revenue.

>>713887382
The stream pauses in the meantime.

>>713887708
A-
the run itself was just a couple of hard tricks and it kinda showed in the runner's movement being sloppy in the non-skip segments at times, but the come back from COMPLETELY fucking up the lava skip in the beginning to doing it in one go was nice

uh oh spaghettios

>doesn't display upcoming runs
>2 hosts talking again
AAAAAA!
Why do both GDQ and ESA do this shit now? just do regular old intermission like they did before.

So which adblockers are you guys using? I only watch Twitch when these events are on so I have the same one I used last year. Now it won't even let me open the twitch page.
How come Twitch is so good at dodging adblockers? The one I have for youtube has worked for over a decade

>>713887971
Tomorrow 1PM GMT. Street Boyz starts it off

kek, this is why I watch speedruns

This is kino i'm crying tears of joy

>>713887982
bring back the cumdrinker & co

>>713887904
Brave alone did not do it for me. I had to combine Brave + TTV LOL PRO extension.

>>713888013
>How come Twitch is so good at dodging adblockers?
Amazon has near infinite money to throw at the adblock arms race.

>>713887475
>>713887259
>>713887007
thx this works for me no ads at all

>>713888013
I use the Alternate Player for Twitch, it's about 15 seconds behind but it doesn't get ads

>>713887982
Sorry, but Kojimbles already sapped 'em out for Death Stranding 2

Why not have an intermission layout that shows the crowd cam, displays upcoming runs, has maybe a host talk a TINY bit and display useful info... like they used to do?
It also takes way less effort and don't require staff to constantly be up there to talk.

>>713888027

>>713888175
It's masturbatory for the big egos.

>>713888006
I asked them this last year. Apparently, whenever there are people on the screen, it retains viewership better than an intermission or simple music. They apparently have hard data from ESA experience on this, so this is here to stay.

I only wish they had some better analysts for this part, since their lads here must be overworked as is.

>>713888178

>>713888175
Ackshually they used to do this years ago as well and they only stopped doing it like 5-6 years ago after they lost all their hosts (who were mainly women). Dunno why they decided to bring it back when these new hosts don't seem to have any experience though.

Why doesn't it show what the next game is? Why is there now estimate when the game is starting?
Why is there ZERO info shown?

>>713888323
Logitech are still on the shitty microswitches then?

>league of legends

Do these two ever shut the fuck up

>>713888569
Just watch and support the stream :)

Was that a Mario coin sound?

>>713888450
The last run finished over 20 minutes under estimate, they were caught with their pants down.

I think runners should communicate when their estimates are volatile, it's gotta throw events off a bit.

seems to be working

>>713888668
What coin sound? Are your links purple?

Where's this attention whore anyways he should be lapping up the extra time

>ministry for old people
what the fuck

>>713888731
Booted out due to Edenal's plan to constantly get rid of most of the staff so they don't get funny ideas about knowing how to do their position.

Not that he had any idea how to do security.

>>713888719
>google purple links
>there they are
Thank you, Google.

>>713888643
They're job right now is to literally not stop talking for 20 minutes, give em a break.

Feels like they can't win. Go over estimate, fucks up schedule, goes under estimate, fucks up schedule.

Pre-record a heap of various length skits, mini docos, highlights from old events, interviews etc. Have back up games you can drop in, or those twitch games like the Marbles races.
Have hosts who can easily vamp and entertain.
Lots of ways they can fill time.

ummm wasn't that the nono language?

Honestly a good game to run early
