I just watched the pikmin run. I heard that Emily got a bad draw on RNG for it and got screwed over a lot and boy did she deserve it for the way she treated those poor Pikmin. The ghosts of those 14 something yellows she drowned for funsies were controlling that Blowhog.

I fell asleep like an old man before Super Metroid so I watched the archived stream. I know that game is super hard to speed run with the strat they used but I was a little disappointed in how it turned out. Thought it was fun that the underdog won, but was a bit sad I didn't get the "super sweaty butt clenching" race.

I have way too many t-shirts as it is, so I haven't been ordering the Yetee ones (even though the designs are awesome). But I sure could go for an official GDQ™ hoodie. e: I'm watching the Typing of the Dead from YT while typing a message to my brother who lives in Helsinki.

Alright, time to catch up on some VODs. First up: the Super Mario Maker race, and then that infamous Jak & Daxter run, to see what all the fuss is about.

I missed most of Super Metroid and only came in during the mother brain fight. WTF wiped everyone? From the time stamps I can guess that the ghost squid got one person, maybe the Ridley fight got another? Not sure what would have got the third guy.

Catching up on stuff and the Bonesaw run is prolly the funniest thing that a GDQ will ever produce However, while I understand why they had to do it, gently caress whoever decided to keep couch dude from doing his spot on Owen Wilson

Man, while the TAS block was awesome as usual, I think they should have done a general intro about what are TAS and what is TASbot. I know that watching in third time in the row means a lot of people watching know what a TAS is, but they should still explain the general idea behind it. Glad to see my favourite Gameboy game getting some recognition outside of that credit warp, Super Mario Land series own.

They did a TAS intro for people who don't know what it is. I think it was either during the setup for the first run or in between the first and second run.

This was the best GDQ there's ever been. AGDQ 2013 was my previous favorite, but man, this was amazing. I could never have imagined it being this good. I'm almost afraid for AGDQ 2017 because this event set a ridiculously high bar.

I only started watching with SGDQ 2014, so I don't have a lot to compare it to though.

The last run ran WAAAAY too late into my timezone, but it was a fun SGDQ! Barely any unwatchable poo poo, quite a few amazing runs, sparse tech issues and only ONE during a run to my knowledge (and it was one of the legit bad runs)...10/10 all around. Thread was good too. This is the first event where I had enough free time to just be glued to the computer for long periods of time, so thank God it was a good one. Personal highlights: - Jak and Daxter, aka Naruto and Pikachu: The Quest for Owen Wilson's Car Keys, aka Bonesaw's Fever Dream. The run itself wasn't BAD either, but the slow descent into madness makes it. - SOTN blindfolded, because it's SOTN blindfolded. Also a bit of trainwreckiness added in for flavor. - Jedi Academy, which is a legit great run to watch with great commentary by a very enthusiastic dude. Take a bath. - Momodora, because it had the most  moment of the stream and Halfcoordinated is awesome anyway. - Dustforce, although it starts a bit slow. The run is pretty chill and technically sound for a while, then they hit the Difficult levels and all the butts clench. - Tetris block. If you have to ask... - Super Mario Maker blind race, which wasn't a blowout this year, featured some fun levels and Chronic (?) carrying the team on his back. - PEPSIMAN FOR TV-GAME - TASBot as a whole was good, but one controller four games is definitely the better run if you can only be bothered to watch one. - Super Metroid Running Man%.  - oh, I almost forgot about SMW grandma% low%. I was kinda busy when it was going on so I almost missed out on it, but I think it qualifies. Honorable mentions: - Demon's Crest featured a lovely group of high school stoners that grew up on me as the run went on, dude. It's very chill but maybe not as good if you're not watching it 3am like I did, dude. - The entirety of GB block and Kirby stuff (bar Riders) was pretty cool. Like, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it if pressed for time but ProtoMagicalGirl did some great commentary and it was pretty cute and fun. - I liked both Freedom Planet and Guacamelee, not enough to highlight but enough that I think I should mention them. the commentary was fine stfu - Bioshock was a fine run with a really good joke in it. - Quackshot had some good commentary too, kinda lost in the middle of a bunch of runs I don't really remember. - Sonic 06 is a broken mess. - Bionic Commando because it's my boi PJ. In fact, the whole platformer block from Shatterhand to Gimmick might be worth a watch. - Elder Scrolls block?? I don't give a gently caress about those games, but up to Morrowind the runs were fun. I fell asleep during Morrowind because I was tired as gently caress. poo poo to avoid: - Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, which might be the worst run in the entire marathon. Insufferable commentator and not cringey enough for you masochists, I think. - Trials Fusion was a failure of a showcase, even if the last levels were actually pretty impressive. Dead commentary, no music, lots of custom levels that were boring to watch but had references. Dishonorable mentions: - The small block between Dustforce and Escape Goat 2 really isn't worth watching, and Prompt was especially bad. Short enough that whatever, I'll let it pass, but it also had the one stream crash of the marathon during a game so there's that too. - Mighty Gunvolt was a dead run of a Megaman clone. Use your fuckin' words, people - the "awful block" not named awful block was really nothing this year  I guess those are my $0.02 for the thread. It really was a great GDQ.

I've forgotten from past GDQ's, but the YouTube channel has this playlist of VODs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz8YL4HVC87WhzH2-56QXDOwoKNYkdCEV is this the "final" version of the VODs or is there some post-processing done and these VODs will later get updated in some way? I'm enjoying the VODs, just wondering because I thought there was some updating in a previous GDQ.

Kennel posted:Was there any good drama this year? The only thing I read about was someone wearing a really tasteless shirt of a child beauty pageant winner who was murdered, but the organizers made him change it shortly before he went on camera. And while it's not drama, Typing of the Dead had a really funny moment where half of Twitch chat accidentally timed itself out while trying to play along because of the words "bear trap". I do miss reading about funny stories or cringy moments but on the other hand, it's nice to see how well everything's been handled for the past two marathons. It really seems like the event's grown up a lot as the organizers have more experience handling it. Cyberventurer fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Jul 10, 2016 |
