From the photos I hope you like the taste of secret hotdogs.
Here you guys go (courtesy of dn3000):
That was pretty fucked up. I remember seeing that live.
Dude got his life sorted out though. Married someone much better it seems.
I just donât get why people are celebrating someone banging his ex wife, seems pretty fucked up.
Need some more speedrunning? ESA is Live.
FF8, sick!!
Wish they could do shit like that just to cherish video games without pretending to give a shit about charity and make the runners benefit from the donations.
I doubt most people watch gdqs because they want to save tits.
Hella people give a shit about raising money for charity.
The stereotype of video gamers not accomplishing anything or wasting their time is partly assuaged by GDQs.
Similarly, esports provides a commercial outlet that shows people are willing to pay to watch top level players for entertainment.
The only other thing as big as GDQ was The International, although now more stuff must exist, unless Iâm greatly mistaken.
Their 2011 top prize was $1 mil, 2012 was $1mil, 2013 was $1.5mil, and 2014 was $5mil:
GDQs first reached $1mil in 2014, with similar growth rates:
GDQ raise money for fake charities thoughâŚIts why mike Uyama (dude in charge of this shit) never appears anymore cuz he won the pyramid scheme.
Iâm not saying charity is bad, Iâm just saying thereâs nothing except charity for speedrunning events.
That shit is highly entertaining and competitive, especially 4 man races and stuff.
Thereâs no reason why there shouldnât be a sponsored event that helps the runners themselves and not just outside sources and event organizers.
Why GDQ is a sham:
Most of that money never even goes to charity, but is funneled back into Uyamaâs pockets.
Which is why I never donate to it, plus Iâm broke.
I just watch for the runs. Charity itself half the time is a sham.
At the time current wifeâŚ
Destroyed.
Not entirely wrong, but completely overblown.
Running a charity takes serious talent and that talent takes serious money to hire. Prevent Cancer foundation makes a lot of money from GDQ and so they want to make sure they pay the staff âthousandsâ of dollars to run it. Thatâs not very much money.
Charities spend money on advertising talent because they know it pays back in the long run. They pay top dollar.
Itâs apparently a full time job to run the GDQ events. Seems like a good investment. $70k -> $2.2mil
The sound quality is top notch because they hire an expensive team of top quality people.
Charity rating is very high:
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5435
75.4% of their revenue goes directly into programs. They spend $0.15 cents to raise $1. They donât have the volume to be more efficient with their fund raising.
Also the video is out of date, the PCF does operate internationally:
http://preventcancer.org/our-work/our-global-reach/
To compare, Doctors without borders is across the board better:
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3628
So if youâd prefer to donate to a better run and larger charity ($351,312,022 vs $6,413,454 total revenue), SGDQ is a drop in the bucket in MSF, but a more efficient drop in the bucket.
Compared to United Way, which is more efficient than PCF, but scored lower than both:
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=4629
PCF is a top level charity by any measure.
I wonder whoâs wife is going to get gangbanged in the European event.
Leave it to internet dwellers to not understand how events are run and how much they cost, especially the ridiculous hardware setups that are run at GDQ events. Willing to bet 90% of the people that doubt the costs of running an event like that have never actually streamed anything in their lives, much less attempted to set up the complicated mess to get multiple gaming platforms from ancient consoles to PCs to arcade cabs to properly work. Audio is a complete and utter nightmare for large events like these, which is why events often hire a 3rd party of experts to deal with that complicated mess.
The GDQ people are gonna run a mini GDQ this weekend to raise money for Hurricane Harvey support!
And there still wonât be Bible Black.
Stream has started will start soon!
