The 8 hour FFVII run which sounds insane but was awesome

I can't believe how interesting and informative that was the whole way through. The Materia Keeper strat blew my mind hole. (If you didn't see They manipulate the mechanic where, if you have 7777 health, you deal 7777 damage with each attack. So they poisoned and healed Materia Keeper, until it hit 7777hp, and did 7777 self-inflicted poison damage to itself)

Also the undertale segment had some incredibly good vibes.

I don't even like Silent Hill and I'm tempted by the "So it was all your work!" design.

* Sinister's blindfolded MTPO.
* Big Jon's eggroll song.
* Hug that goat.
* Wondershot.
* AGDQ 2014's "WTF Japan" block with the utter gloriousness that is Power Shovel and Mr. Domino.
* Blueglass (YSG) running Ecco.
* Bonesaw's Wild Ride.
* PJ and Mecharicter running Battleblock Theater with the devs on Skype, watching.

This is kind of weirdly personal but during this last SDGQ all the cuck jokes during Stiv's run not only were funny but they helped me laugh through the fact that my significant other at the time was clearly falling for someone else. It didn't work out for me in the end, and so it's good that I was able to have some laughs as that was a stressful time.

OG ATLA is my favorite show of all time, but S3/S4 Korra is pretty tight. Needless to say I'm a massive Korrasami shipper.

Other great memories I've had with past GDQs include PJ's entire Lagoon run a couple years back, the first time they made $1 million, the Blaster Master run where everyone was in awe when a boss didn't spawn and the runner just got the item. Every awful games block, especially people in these threads reacting to the end of that godawful Rocky and Bullwinkle game.

It's an uphill battle, but it depends on how much you shitpost while you're here.

I hold SGDQ 2015 in my heart because it had a bunch of great runs and I had a bunch of good posts in that thread, like the one during the Pokemon glitched catch them all run where I pointed out how much it resembled magic.

Also last SGDQ I unlocked my shitpost limiter and just had a good old time chatting.

Looking forward to the fun conversations we'll have this year.

Seeing the event starts with Crash Bandicoot 3 just reminds me of that awful run of 2 and how running a game in that series must feel relatively low pressure because you can't possibly be worse than that run.

Real talk though would it be annoying if I posted Eli's address every so often? He really does love getting cards from all over, it's kind of his thing. He's received tens of thousands since he was diagnosed.

IMO the main quest of BOTW is such a minute amount of the appealing content in the game that having it spoiled is unlikely to make the game less fun, but it's understandable if you want the joy of discovering everything on your own.

The Super Mario RPG from SGDQ 16 was really really nice and wonderful and was a great counter weight to Naruto and Pikachu as my two favorite runs ever.
