sadly this time around I'll only be able to watch today and tomorrow, rest of the week is filled with work and watching football. At least I get to watch the Megaman and Castlevania blocks. And I'll probably try to get up tomorrow at 5 in the morning to watch Dishonored and New Order. Gotta catch the rest on VOD

Hoped there would have been an Hyper light drifter run, I'm disappointed.

Yes, too bad adam_ak only runs DoTA 2 these days. Looking at the runners, there is only SpikeVegeta, Darkwing Duck, romscout and Mecha Richter left (though, none of them ever got the numbers the other three had (well, except maybe romscout who used to be more popular on Ustream when Justin.tv wasn't really a thing yet)).

Oooo, Link's Awakening DX
This is the game that got me and my buddy addicted to gaming/Nintendo at the age of 8. Nostalgia inc.

At the end of the game, you can decide to save the animals but it takes more time. This is why when you kill the animals, you save frames, and vice versa. Each time the game is featured at a GDQ, there's a donation incentive for both options (kill/save the animals).

Okay more questions, this is fascinating.
Do the speedrunners just keep to one game/franchise or do they go from game to game? Because it seems so random that these three young boys decided to dedicate their "career" to this game.

I think the majority of speedrunners have ran more than one game in their "career". Sometimes, they dedicate all their effort to one single game during several months, sometimes years, and quit the game when they feel they cannot improve their time. What keeps speedrunners going is a live community with other people to race against, or discuss with to find new strats.
Speedrunners tend to play games in the same franchise (like Mario, Pokémon, GTA), or in the same genre, or just games that they love which can be more varied.
