Well if you somehow haven't seen a Skyward Sword run (or haven't seen one in the last few years) you're in for a treat.

We are 50k short and I think we might make it.

I generally enjoy all Zelda runs so I'll have to make a coffee and chill for this run at least. Might hang around for the bonus game if they make it.

Just checked and it is about 30k. I really should have learned by now that gdq usually makes these types of things.

I haven't understood a single thing they've said this whole run

Just nodding my head while listening to Link die repeatedly in the background

I remember the first time I saw this run think they utilize the "back in time" thing way to much it make a very boring run to watch.

It's fascinating how they can use back in time to break all these game mechanics and manipulate the saved state of the game.

Buuuut it also makes it completely impossible to follow because the run becomes very disjointed and the things they have to do to manipulate the back in time are seemingly completely random.

It's still fun to watch but I can get it not be everybody's cup of tea.

I put it in the same category as speedruns that use a whole bunch of out of bounds tricks, particularly ones that need to crawl through a void or shove their face in a wall (as opposed to ones like Diddy Kong Racing where you can see the stage you're skipping). Technically impressive, but as soon as I get distracted I can't get back into it.

For long runs I prefer something where I can drop in and catch up on what's happening at the moment even if I don't necessarily grasp how because that was explained earlier.

I have had this run on in the background while doing some other stuff before Awful Block and the audio commentary is making it sound like a complete nonsense run. Really hope we manage to get Gamelon, it's gonna be a bummer if we miss it.

I, for obvious reasons, did not watch gdq at all today. Did anyone actually pay attention? Good runs to catch on vod?

What's the official end of the awful block? Because if it includes Lawnmower Man I'm gonna be mad, because I played the hell out of that game as a kid and it kicked rear end
