"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Y'all keep posting recommendations/reviews ITT (I think), but they never make it into the OP. I don't follow the thread actively so it's really hard to find them. Which runs would you recommend so far?

The schedule isnt really amazing this year, shitloads of VERY obscure games while poo poo like Turok and Illusion of Gaia apparently gets denied. Must explain why the hall has mostly been empty for the bits I watched.

The first 30 seconds was a joke.

I was thinking this couldn't get much worse, then I looked down and the estimate is over an hour. See you tomorrow SDGQ.

He was supposed to be in Mario Maker, but got sick before the event and had to be subbed.

:smith: Man, that sucks. He and Witwix are like two of most entertaining runners at GDQ, and I don't see Witwix's name on the schedule either. Hope he's doing okay.

Also, how do you speedrun Mario Maker? Did the runners make a bunch of levels to play for the event, or does Mario Maker have a example level set included?

They did do a lengthy indie block this year. About eight hours of indie games, many of which were under thirty minutes and really obscure.

This guy's tone of voice is so loving smug. It's like a parody but it's not. Look at how smart and good I am for running some kind of obscure banjo kazooie clone.

It's a race where the levels are made in advance and the runners have never seen them before.

It was one of the highlights of AGDQ earlier this year.

Highlights of the indie block was super meat boy for the pure skill involved and the Braid run because of good commentary and the mindfuck of watching that poo poo for people who never did this game. Otherwise it was pretty bland. Dustforce looked cool.

Watch the Momodora run, because that was the highlight of the whole block. Dustforce was easily the distant second because of the relaxed commentary and pure skill.

This is like an inoffensive version of the Crash 2 guy. Like he's not talking about suicide or maybe jokes about domestic abuse, but he's clearly nervous and trying to fill dead air with something. Anything.
