Despite their max viewers being 70000 less than AGDQ, they managed to make $600000 more. SGDQ is now the more profitable of the two marathons, with 3 million dollars. You can check the donations here. It looks like over half were anonymous by the end. If anyone wants to sift through it, there were some interesting points, like the anonymous $40000 donation a few days ago.

Does my theory that SGDQ does better because viewers donate to the more reputable charity hold weight? I think it may be too hopeful that the average person is aware of that kind of thing.

Oh did they finally drop the political think tank "charity?"
 
Were there any runs worth checking out in this one? I only recognize a couple runners and was too busy to leave it open and backgrounded.

Take this with a grain of salt but this was one of the final tallies from somebody polling on /v/ for their opinions after each run.

Streets of Rage might not have been the best or most interesting run and the audience might have gone overboard with their internal memes, but it gave me the most nostalgic feeling of old school, buncha dudes speedrunning in a basement from like 2011/12. I really missed that.
 
The RE2 run was really good. Dude wasn't saying "Let's a go!" every 5 seconds like last time and the audience was having lots of fun without being obnoxious. Just an overall really entertaining run.

Silent Hill 3 was bullshit. Love the game but this dude is unwatchable. He just never shuts the fuck up.
 
For those interested in spedrun (without the tranny agenda, weird reddit esque behaviour and staunch censorship), ESA starts in about 4 hours tomorrow, I guess?. Should make for some decent runs, representing the best and most autistic vidya gamers on our side of the pond (though there are many Americans too, I think).

Edit: The stream time says 19 - 28 july but the schedule on the homepage says 20 -28. What gives?
 
They sometimes have pre-events to test their gear and rehearse.

Double posted to joyfully report that the same "character" ruined the Silent Hill run at this event too. Is there any chance of this ever ending? It's been years now. This is the dark age of Silent Hill marathon appearances.
 
There really aren't that many noticeably awful runners from the UK, and several decent ones, but this guy destroys the median something terrible.
 
GDQ does it again. TL;DR their admissions process allowed a person to claim they had WR, usurp another person scheduled to run, appeared at the event and completed the run. Then it turned out they didn't even upload the video to SDA because it was clearly spliced and might fail verification. He works for GDQ behind the scenes as well according to his own claims, which nobody has refuted yet.


I hope the "Billy Mitchell defence" accsuation becomes a thing.
