I forgot to mention this before and it seems pretty minor, but a quick note about BlueGlass. During the El Viento run there were a total of two people watching the projection of the stream, one of them being me. BlueGlass came in from the other side of the room and was going to cross in front of the projector to get to another set of seats. Rather than walk in front of the projection, he got down and sorta-crawled under the screen. The guy went out of his way to not be a minor inconvenience to two random people for a quarter of a second, if that.
There was a Smash Bros. Melee tournament being held adjacent to the practice area, as well as a Project M tournament. Against my better judgment I signed up for the Melee one, despite not playing Melee in years. You can probably guess what happened next; I lost every single match, seeing as how several of the people who entered are hardcore competitive players of Smash. I ended up driving the point home when I was asked about striking stages (or something like that, can't remember the exact term) and my response was 'What does that mean?' The tournament was a $5 pay in, but it was all going to Doctors Without Borders and I just wanted to have a bit of fun so whatevs.
Despite being in the room to watch the entire thing, I'm still not sure what exactly happened during Cosmo's ZZT run. I was just born early enough to have memories of playing some games similar to ZZT on my parents' IBM computer and always figured I didn't know what to do or what was going on because I was too young to get it. Now I'm not so certain about that.
I was wondering why he was carrying around a guitar most of the week, but after hearing Striker's speedrunning song, I may have to ask if he'd want any royalties for doing a cover version.
