I disagree.

In fact, all runs should take at least three hours.

Awful Games Done Quick is the best part of GDQ and I always do whatever it takes to stay awake for it, I can't imagine thinking it needs to go away.

What is a chalice dungeon and why does it make you upset

The best part of Bloodborne is the level design and aesthetic- imagine if all of that was gone and the entire game was reduced to pre-fabbed, procedurally generated diablo 2 loot dungeons and that's the chalice dungeons. it's a nice way to squeeze more content out of it but man does it wear out its welcome fast. all the best loot in the game is in there and some people really do thoroughly enjoy them but most agree that it's just kind of a drag. luckily they're not required in the game in any capacity (tho I think 1 unique weapon is locked behind it which sucks)

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

I'm honestly glad the "between games" audience cam is gone. GDQ is just as much a speedrun convention as it is a stream/fundraiser, and I think it's easier to chill and talk and bullshit between games at wtf'o'clock if everyone gets a break from the camera.

These visualizations are pretty awesome too.

Terrible games can result in great speedruns. I don't see the need to sequester them in their own segment though. If they are runs worth showing then they can stand on their own like any other game.

The first time it was in a marathon, it was a pretty humorous twist that changed things up and gave some variety so it wasn't just like "every other marathon". But it's been done multiple times now and frankly, I think the joke has gotten old by this point.

Especially nowadays there's so many speedrunners that have great runs to offer, and we are putting them aside to put in this running gag that I feel like most people honestly don't care to watch anymore. The AwGDQ last year took up 6 hours of timeslots. That's quite a lot for what it is, you could fit an entire game block or two with that much time, and I am sure they would be more entertaining and bring in more donations.

I really dislike seeing this go on and not really hearing anyone say anything about it, if AwDGQ does happen this year, please make it the last time, or at the least please shorten how long it is.

Or if you want to keep that time block of "something different", let people run their lesser known games that I know people would want to watch (Billy Hatcher is a good example). You could call it "Obscure Games Done Quick" or something idk.

Awful Games Done Quick just doesn't seem fair to either the people interested in going to the marathon or to the viewers and supporters for the marathon. Thanks.

I love GDQ's and they always motivate me to want to speedrun a fun little but obscure game that I pick up now and then, imagining that I may be running it on a GDQ someday.

Then I wake up and realize I suck at videogames and I'd rather watch someone's misery climax in a RNG run instead.

It's also a block of generally short runs which is more enjoyable than integrating them throughout the week imo.

I miss crowd cam between games. It makes you feel more connected during the down time. This cold dead screen is not so good. Like imagine a football game without the sky shot of the dome and crowds.

Terrible games are best enjoyed in a block because when the first one is done you're sitting there thinking "that was the dumbest poo poo ever, nothing will ever top it" and then Time Cop starts.
