Really quite silly indeed.

I can never quite keep up posting in these threads, but I'll say this: SGDQ and AGDQ are highlights of my year without fail, and in no small part is part of that experience hanging in these here threads with y'all, even if I mostly lurk. Greetings from germanysweden.

I think PJ's Lagoon run is probably one of the best, if not THE best GDQ run I've seen. It's got everything you want, PJ, a hilarious, broken game and a great couch & commentary.

Also wish more people were around to see Might & Magic VI live from last SGDQ, since it was run early morning EU time. It's also where the various



reaction shots are from. If you didn't, you still have time.

I lost a friend to that poo poo a couple years ago. Does Eli want any cool toys, or just cards? Because I would totally be down for getting him a drone or a model kit or whatever. I’ve got cash, and I hate cancer.

If you wanted to send an object (which you really don't have to do), he's really into the poop emoji. But honestly his thing is cards, and he's literally received tens of thousands at this point from all over and read every single one.

The failed menuing in SotN blindfolded is one of my favorite things ever.

Also anytime anyone says "Hey, Brossentia."

I giggle like a schoolgirl when I hear “Hey, Brosentia?!” Like preemptively laughing at whatever terrible pun is coming.

My favorite moments:

* Sega bass fishing. I could not possibly be less interested in the game but the runner owned so hard. Just a dude laughing his butt off at fish. I still rewatch that every few months.
* bawkbasoup’s incredible chill run of some resident evil thing overnight. I still mutter “let’s-a gooo” under my breath before I do something difficult.
* witwix and his commentary. He’s just a funny guy.
* big jon not dying.
* super panga world was the best speedrun ever completed on stream. The runner, the commentary, the couch, the room... amazing.

That run was insanely good. Might be just a personal thing on where sometimes I'm just more into some glitches than others, but loading the game blue for some reason, allowing you to glitch into being 1 pixel high with a one pixel hitbox and then going to dragondeath island to load up on endgame gear was cool as gently caress and that was just he beginning.

I think my overall favorite chat moment that I would relive if I could was being in the chat thread for Batman Forever, calling out the insane names of each enemy as they appeared.

Long time watcher, first time donator here,

just had to donate during the run of my favorite game. Seeing all these games from my childhood just utterly destroyed by those talented runners is so much fun! My whole family got wiped out by Super Cancer, so this event is very personal to me. Let's kick cancer's butt! Can I get the announcer to read this in her cute voice:

I posted this last year but if you liked that Might and Magic run you should totally follow CapnClever on Twitch. I don't think he runs that M&M game anymore, but his streams are pretty chill, usually either casualling random old PC games or speedrunning the entire Commander Keen series in one shot.

Can I get some help deciphering this photo? It looks like the phone and thumb are seen by reflection in a mirror, but the lamp is attached to the mirror, so that mirror would have to be in the ceiling, and none of this is making logical spatial sense in my mind.

I found it amusing how many people reacted to them because we found those faces hilarious back when M&M6 was new...

Also, bought my bobcat shirt because everyone must know that was I was dumb enough to buy and play Bubsy.

It looks like a slow evening for me as well (begin time is 18.30), the first run I know will probably be fun is Skyrim, and I'd really want to see Hollow Knight, but it's really late already. If you didn't see Hollow Knight last summer, definitely check it out. I don't really follow speedruns outside of these events so I have no idea if there's much new but it's a beautiful game with lots of precise platforming.
