A percentage of the profit from these will be donated to the charity during the event.
If you want to score some cool GDQ swag, look no further! GDQ traditionally partners with a couple of web stores during the event for a collection of GDQ merch, available throughout the event. Your two options for chatting should instead be IRC and Discord. It tends to be quite toxic, and under very heavy load - has a decent chance of getting flipped to slow and/or subscribers only mode. To minimize the risk of people recording the stream and uploading monetized videos of the AGDQ runs on Youtube during the marathon, GDQ staff will make an effort to get at least temporary versions up on the Youtube channel during the marathon, so that should be the first place to check.Īnd what would a live marathon be without watching it together with others? The GDQ experience is usually heightened much by reacting to things together, so hop into one of the chats available. The excellent website GDQ VODs, run by fellow goon Steve Holt!, usually also tries to keep up with timestamped links to Twitch VODs during the marathon, and should that also fail you, there tends to be a thread for the same purpose on Reddit. If you miss a run you really wanted to watch, don't fret - it might not be as exciting as watching it live, but recording of all runs will go up eventually on the GDQ Youtube channel. I personally prefer to use it with mpv, but most anything that'll play video should work with it. If you're having issues, ask either here or in any of the goon chats. As with Livestreamer, there is also a Streamlink Twitch GUI to go with it - might need a bit of easy configuration. If you've been using Livestreamer, you want to switch to Streamlink - it's literally a better Livestreamer, being a more developed fork of it under a different name. For that, you want a little program called Streamlink. As it's streamed on Twitch, you can use the GDQ Twitch channel to watch as well, but the main site is usually preferable if you're going to watch through a browser.īut! You can also watch the marathon in your media player of choice, instead of Firefox or Chrome or what-have-you. You'll be able to watch the marathon at the GDQ main site, which when the marathon starts will have the stream and an embedded chat and all of that jazz. The schedule is also available on Horaro (also time zone-adjusted). A thread that doesn't have 539 new posts to get through just because you went to the bathroom.įirst things first - the ever-important schedule will automatically adjust to your timezone if you have Javascript enabled for the GDQ site, so you can always know what time the runs you want to watch are supposed to start - of course, the times will change somewhat as the marathon progresses due to many runs finishing under estimate, but there are measures that will try to ensure that runs start when they're supposed to. The other thread, for this event made by beep by grandpa, is meant for more fast-paced live-reaction chatting, and this one intended to tend more towards slightly more indepth discussion about the event, the runs, and all that surround it. You may notice that we have two AGDQ 2018 threads going - it was something that was first done (somewhat unintentionally) for AGDQ 2017, and happened again for SGDQ 2017, and it was a pretty good idea to actually have two threads, so now we do it on purpose.
