Can someone give more information regarding the controller that he used? At first glance it looked like a typical controller but on a closer look it looks... modified?

All that on a standard (for the most part), controller. That was amazing.

Wow that was just perfect, the commentary "And now this... OMG OMG OMG and CANCEL! But we're not done..." is basically my internal dialogue loop when playing a lot of Cave games

and that speech at the end... wow is that guy Gus for real? 10/10

What gus did with that performance and the excellent couch commentary, I think they really put some new eyeballs on the genre.

The run was something else with some insane display of skill and the crowd/chat loved the chouch. I could see JUICY CANCEL reaching the same heights as the lame ORB and HONK. Another frase i saw got a great response was when it was explained that you had to USE YOUR EYEBALLS to dodge RNG patterns :lol:

And I had a lot of fun with the whole, It's not done yet!, phases of the last boss.

If you can, keep an eye on the chat. It was so enjoyable to watch SO many people not knowing what the heck was going on, talking about getting anxiety and generally getting their minds blown.

Excellent run! Crazy to see this done in a huge event.

Also thanks to Aquas for not asking Gus if he "does mental preparation / meditation to keep your nerves" this time. :lol:

so I noticed that some people in the twitch chat could actually quote to speech Gus gave at the end almost verbatim, and then found out that it's actually a poem by Charles Bukowski

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

He's been a fan of All The Way for quite a while now. You can hear it in the 2013 STG Weekly episode.

It was a bit frustrating to hear Aquas constantly getting interrupted and talked over when he was trying to explain things. Chat noticed that too. Lots of "LET HIM FINISH"
