I understand! Its not my thing, but they put it in probably because people like it and it brings money. Glad you enjoyed it!

Please JRPGs are the worst and shouldn't be in, you were correct from the start. Anything that takes six hours cannot be a "speed" run. Plus how do you watch someone play a game that isn't even fun to play to begin with.

Anyway here's the best AGDQ video...

This video confuses me. Is this dude rebroadcasting a SGDQ run, commentating on it, while also running Pokemon Statdium 2 in the background?

The guy is the world record holder in Sonic 2 and yeah he's commentating while doing like a 30 hour speed run.

for real though who wants to read about speedrunner drama and why

calling people autistic while being deeply invested in the lives of people who play super monkey ball moderately well is the weirdest poo poo

That guy sleeping with that gal while her husband was at the event was legit the best thing to happen at any of these though.

Oh wow look at you Mr. Edgy with this post. What do you expect them to do? What would you like them to run? The fact of the matter is that a lot of people like seeing Super Metroid races; a lot of people enjoy watching Ninja Gaidan. The fact that you are mocking something for a good cause is despicable. Don't like it? Well, do something about it and shut up.

You named two good games to try to defeat him. Shameful.

It's weird an actual awesome game like Gunstar Heroes is run at 4 in the morning while objectively bad Sonic games come midday.

So Blueglass is gonna be there right? His entire life must revolve around the twice yearly marathons. He has nothing else going for him.

Pretty sure the balding bespectacled Indian fellow is there in the background for every game and I have no idea what he even runs.

Please have some restraint re speedrunner drama. While there's no big fuss yet, it pisses people off in the thread, and the OP of the thread asked for everyone to avoid it this year.

It's the most fun part, I suggest punishing the reporters for being buzzkills.

Every time I think a run is boring or too long, I think back on the starcraft 2 run and realize it's not that bad after all.

My favorite part of SC2 run is literally anyone could do it.
