Random Stranger posted:Solid. Which is how I'd rate 90% of the runs this year. Solid, enjoyable, but not necessarily something that you'd want to run down and watch. Which is really the kind of thing that GDQ should be shooting for since every run can't be amazing and there's hardly any unwatchable trainwrecks. I agree with this. You just need to have played Final Fantasy Adventure to enjoy the run. The glitch they use is not one where they skip a door or bypass a wall, they are really teleporting all over the place. If you have no understanding of just how much they are skipping ahead you will be bored by the commentary and/or the sections where they are just grinding items or XP. There were plenty of runs this year that were entertaining without knowledge of the game, this just isn't one of them. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jul 10, 2016 |

Jak and Daxter was kind of dull for the first 30-45 minutes but these Owen Wilson impressions are straight up killing me.

Probably because it's much more of a cooperative thing than competitive. People share strats, give credit to the folks who uncovered them, and whoever holds the record is more a matter of personal skill and execution rather than defeating others.

Azazell0 posted:This still cracks me up. I am proud of my miniscule contribution to a legendary run. Specifically, convincing the donation head that the "Jeb Bush: Please clap" comment didn't really count as political, and thus was safe to air. Otherwise, just amazed at the organization that goes into keeping something like that going, not just one and done, but twice a year, every year. Holy hell. Also, agreed that the community on the whole is made up of really generous and genuine people. It's the second one I've done on site now, and I've only run into two super-weird creepy types and one utter rear end in a top hat. (And no, that wasn't Caleb, I talked with him this year and I think he's actually toned it down quite a bit.) Hope I can make it back to another—wish AGDQ wasn't always the same week as my field's major professional conference.

Nintendo is just plain hot garbage when it comes to their games on youtube. I'm pretty sure they legit see gameplay videos as straight up piracy. Anyway. Making my way through the first awful games block. These games are wonderfully terrible and CavemanDCJ and crew are great at commentary.

The chill non-hardcore runs are the best and jak and daxter is probably the best example of that. I liked pikmin also but mostly just because it was pikmin. The runner and commentators weren't bad at all but they didn't have a whole lot to say about what was going on. I guess they were tired considering how late it was

 In Memory... "Your fight is over. Rest well friends, we'll meet again soon enough." Hey fellas!! We made it  All in all this was basically as perfect a GDQ as one could possibly produce and definitely the most I've enjoyed watching one in the 4 years I've been following this event. The technical side of things were a 10/10 and honestly the only thing I can even think of to improve the experience next year would be to update the way the schedule looks (I have a hard time finding things and wish you could make it snap to the current run or auto-highlight completed runs as the run goes forward. Would also like additional info such as the console it's being run on).I have a lot here so I'll try to keep my comments brief. I put them in order of appearance so it should be easy to add what interests you to your Watch Later playlist from the official GDQ account here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz8YL4HVC87WhzH2-56QXDOwoKNYkdCEV Backup link to find the twitch vods here https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/4r4pyp/sgdq_vod_thread_2016/ Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Race) - very tight race, lots of lead switches Catherine (1 Player, 2 Controllers) - was super cool, see run category Dishonored - lots of blinking around, owns if you like high mobility stuff like me Star Wars: Jedi Academy - owns. it's true. all of it. Curse of Issyos (Coop) - great fun, funny couch commentary from these two knuckleheads Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Low% Souls) - super tight Castlavania: Symphony of the Night (Blindfolded) - contains the biggest "runner vindicated" moment of all time Freedom Planet - cool speedgame, even cooler, great runner Dustforce DX (SS All Levels) -  Super Meat Boy (Dark Ending) - owns Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (1-Hand Insane Difficulty) - run by our own halfcoordinated, great speech @ at the end Braid - it's Braid Demon's Crest (100%) - very tight Silent Hill 3 - great chill runner commentary Resident Evil 2 (Leon B) - same runner, super chill Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Sonic's Story (No MSG)) - it's sonic 06 Ultimate Doom (UV-Speed) - it's doom. ooooooowwwwwns Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death (COOP Jury) - i am the law lol Deus Ex - super tight Jak & Daxter (100%) -  if there is one run you must watch it is this one Bionic commando (100%) - tight Gimmick! - it's gimmick, gimmick always owns Tetris: The Grandmaster Series Exhibition -  Two Worlds - this is prob my favorite speedrun. it's <5 minutes long. The Witness - i loving hate this game but the speedrun is great to watch Kirby Air Ride (All Tracks) - idk but this run just made me want to buy the game Super Mario World (Low %) - VERY tight, very hype crowd moments, grandma% Super Mario Maker Relay Race - super fun, improved lots from last year Pepsiman (Pepsiman Cutscene%) - it's pepsiman. must watch+ Aladdin SNES (The Good One, 3-way race) - ribbedkilla owns Typing of the Dead run by SA's own Peaches__, super chill TASBot Exhibition (Mario Land 2, VVVVVV, 4-Mario Game Simu-Play) - it's the TAS bot! Final Fantasy VI (Sketch Glitch) - just skip to 3hr35min because  Super Metroid (4-way Any% Race) RIP Super Mario RPG - I love this game so i'm biased but this was just super chill and a perfect way to end the marathon as its last official run - they let the entire credit sequence and everything and this nerd here actually got the nerdchills at the "and...time" as "THE END" came up on the screen  poo poo runs you should avoid (or watch if that's your thing). tbh besides these two I don't even know if I can say that any other runs were "bad". Ty the Tasmanian Tiger - blatantly & arrogantly ignores the Pacifist% donation incentive people dropped $5000 on Trials Fusion - just very poorly planned. of 1hr30 maybe 15min are worth watching in this poster's opinion Best in Show SGDQ2016 - Jak & Daxter 100% by Bonesaw577, congratulations ! My favorite post in this entire retarded thread (it's regarding Bonesaw's 'journey' during his run):  Runnerup:  Thank "U" for reading, hope you all have a great week! It has been a pleasure and a delight shitposting with you all

Man, you never worked long hours with a group then, once someone mentioned something about underwear as an off-the-cuff comment and I was 30+h up and I spend 20min trying to recompose myself. Sleep-drunkiness wrecks me.

I really enjoyed the Freedom Planet run after initially dismissing it as a weird Sonic derivative fangame, but there was one guy on the couch who was basically awful and crowded out everyone (including the dev, on the horn!) because he loved the sound of his voice so very much

This thread is so progressive that people here get owned by twitch chat left & right for being a cesspool but the same people routinely insult & dismiss gems like Freedom Planet on its surface for its appearance too closely resembling a sonic game fangame to appreciate its beauty contained within...really makes u think

The only thing that was on my list that isn't on there is the Pokemon Red 4 person race and that is mainly because one of the runners messes up (or has bad luck, I don't remember) near the end and is forced to use one of his non-leveled Pokemon (an Oddish with the HM Cut) to fight a fearsome Venusaur.

I was sad I couldn't stay up for the entire Super Mario RPG speedrun. Most of the RPG speedruns I have no interest in because they're like 100 hours long despite being "speedruns" with not enough interesting stuff happening but Mario RPG is special. Also the commentary was really good and watching literally everyone in the audience be on the edge of their seats for the 100 jump thing with Johnny was great.
