The AGDQ 2016 schedule can be found here
What this thread is for:
This thread is for finding and confirming couch commentary for runs at AGDQ 2016. If you need a couch commentator but don’t know who is coming, you can post here. If you simply wish to let us know who will be on your couch so it will be on the schedule, you can do that as well.
If you are posting requesting commentators for your run, please state which run you’re looking for help on. You will get more responses if people don’t have to look you up on the schedule themselves. Plenty of people are willing to learn about runs just to commentate for them, as well. If you feel like you need help on the couch, don’t hesitate to ask for help in this thread.
When you are finished compiling the list of your couch commentators, please post or PM me with who they they are and let me know your list is full. I will indicate on the thread that your couch is closed.
Keep in mind that this thread is for planning purposes. There aren't any requirements to have your couch set by any date, but if you are just getting things figured out at the even, the couch commentators will probably not appear on the schedule.
General guidelines
Runners have the final say on who is on the couch and who receives a microphone. Having a good idea of who is on your couch and discussing your general plan before the run will greatly improve the quality of the commentary for your run.
Races with three or more runners require dedicated commentary from someone on the couch.
Don’t try to plan everything in advance. Just make sure you’re comfortable with each other and can carry on decent conversations about the game. If you don’t know the commentators very well, make use of the private practice room for runners to sit down and practice commentary, it helps a lot.
If you plan to do most of the talking for your run, grab some friends you can carry on (appropriate) banter with during your game’s downtimes, or who can prompt you on good things to talk about.
Mike posted a thread about couch commentary before, and a lot of what he said still holds true so instead of rewriting it, I’m going to drop it here for your reading.

What makes good couch commentary?
Here are the four basics
-Be informative about in-game mechanics.
-Don't interrupt the runner, but make sure to fill in gaps if the runner didn't explain something or elaborate.
-Build a rapport with the runner, get in skype or mumble calls with them.
-Have fun! If you're excited to give a serious breakdown of a game, there have been tons of awesome and informative runs in the past. A sillier or fun run is fine as well, just as long as everyone involved knows.
A good example of good couch commentary would be the Yoshi's Island run from AGDQ 2013.
I also wrote a bit on commentary in a blog post: http://theroadtogdq.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-dealbreaker-marathon-commentary.html
