I watched about three hours of the GTA run at work and I really enjoyed the low-effort couch vibes. Like someone else said itt, it was like watching two people who can't help wind each other up do a road trip. Maybe it was more annoying at the start or something, idk.

I liked him using a cutscene to explain how the teleport planes work, with a model to illustrate. The pipe cleaner stick person in particular was great.

Honest question but is this Andy guy okay? I'm watching the LttP run and while it's funny seeing him try to deal with all the stuff hitting him I'm worried about the crowd possibly taking a toll on the poor guy. I'm a hour and a half in and the commentary is just 'wow andy you're a awful person and you suck, I'm glad this is hard for you and you're not doing well.' I get playful ribbing and whatnot but man that would really wear on me. It's my first time watching one of his streams so maybe this is just normal for him but I'd leave feeling pretty bad if I was in his shoes

Andy is the best at this game by a wide margin and he knows it. It's not so much ribbing as a kind of sarcasm.

One of my donations got read and I had honestly meant to earnestly compliment him but they interpreted it (playfully) in a very backhanded way so yeah I think that’s just what they do. I do think there was a nice payoff at the end though, after patty burnt him from the couch for three hours, Andy gets up and says “please follow patty on twitch, he needs the help more than I do”

It's playful banter. Andy clearly has a great sense of humor about it. I'm sure if he had an issue with it he'd bring it up with people.Ainsley McTree posted:One of my donations got read and I had honestly meant to earnestly compliment him but they interpreted it (playfully) in a very backhanded way so yeah I think that’s just what they do.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Honest question but is this Andy guy okay? Andy is fine. He's good friends with everybody on his couch and it's very much expected that Patty especially would make fun of him the whole run. Andy is extremely good at LttP and runs Crowd Control regularly on his own stream (which gets only very slightly less crazy than the GDQ run), so there wasn't anything really unexpected there. He also runs Nightmare Mode randomizer regularly, which is a hellscape of randomization which usually takes him like 8 or 9 hours to beat. Note that Andy himself was cracking up with laughter throughout the run.

So I tragically missed all of AGDQ this year. What are the top-tier runs? I'm probably going to at least peek at Myst/Riven/Exile, Fallout, Amid Evil, the TASBot block, LTTP Crowd Control, SM Impossible, and maybe OoT just because I've never seen 100% NSR run before. I also definitely need to check out Luna Nights RBO, since I just finished that game over the holidays. But are there any standouts I'm missing?

The two player blindfolded run of Mike Tyson boxing game is one to watch for the sheer spectacle. Terraria fell to pieces but the runner himself responded in such a great way it's a very personal victory story. All of awful block was the kind of fun bad games you'd expect. Everything I caught this year was pretty great except for FF8 which, politics aside, I just found boring to watch.

If you can't wait for the official GDQ uploads, check the Youtube channels of the individual runners. Some of them upload their runs to their own channels quicker than GDQ gets them up.

It's especially a good run to show to people who aren't familiar with speedrunning: it's an intuitive game to understand, and the tricks are very obviously impressive and outside-the-box from how the game appears to want you to play it.

If you're going through AGDQ withdrawal, the GDQ twitch channel is currently doing a "bonus stream" featuring backup runs that didn't make the lineup.

I tried watching the Fatal Frame run. The runner says multiple times during the first few minutes of the run that the term "camera obscura" is defined as a film camera that can see ghosts. It might be a good run but I just can't take someone seriously who says something that is that drat stupid.
