This is really the best they've done it. Part of that was scheduling. There have been Trials runs in previous *GDQs, but they tended to be part of the graveyard shift or the early morning and it's much more suited there. Right after a high energy slot was probably the worst place to put it this year.

I'm watching the Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets run and I hadn't realized how much nostalgia I had for this dumb game. I must have played it half a dozen times as a kid. Now I want to see a speedrun of the Sorcerer's Stone one, pretty sure I played that one even more.

I was really hoping it was one of the unbearably lovely GBA Harry Potter games but this was fine too. Say what you want about the rest of the awful block but I really enjoyed the Eds and Potter

It was an unbelievably terrible RPG and I couldn't beat it. That kinda marked the time when I started getting wise to the concept of licensed games generally being poo poo.

For as good as the Jak and Daxter run gets in its latter half I think my favorite part is right before the run itself begins. The tech crew tells Bonesaw to stall and for a few seconds he goes in to a silent panic takes because he has no idea what to do in that moment. It's definitely a good sign of things to come.

I need to edit my post to add that with jak & daxter you do not skim through the run, you do not start or bail midway, you make the time & watch the entire thing before you say anything about it. It's like a symphony.

Wandering the hotel the day after is always a bit hard after all the speedfriends have left.  Heading to the airport in an hour. See you guys in six months.

Thanks again for a great event, UA. Side note: Do you know if SGDQ is going to be in Minneapolis on a more permanent basis? That's two summers in a row you guys were in the Twin Cities and I thought I heard that it was partially because one of your supplies is based here.

It'd be nice if it stay in Minneapolis because it's close to me, but I'd understand if they felt like moving west for SGDQ because they do AGDQ more on the East Coast.

Ah, the final runs are up on YouTube now. If you didn't watch the Pokemon Red race, here's what I consider a highlight from that: Watch the top-left runner (it should start 1:59:30 in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgcZP-uv60A&t=7168s

Didn't watch too much live cause I was on holiday, but thanks to you and all the crew for another Good Time (TM). And extra props for fast uploads. Always good for those of us in not-US timezones (although there was good content at good hours for us too, it's not like all we had was barren wastelands of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger repeats). Greetings from Cheers for the next ones. Maybe by AGDQ I'll have tried running something myself.

I want to get into speedrunning Marathon 2 because there is literally zero competition and it's a game I like, but doing it on the hardest difficulty is really tough and the easiest difficulty is boring.

Man, getting through the back log is great. I'm almost caught up with what I missed the first two days. This is making me real sad that I'm going to miss AGDQ. The winter events are so close to me but next year I'm stuck on the backside of the earth in January. I'll still be making something for AGDQ but I'm hoping Sent is willing to take it....oh..2 months early. Maybe.
