Your favorite poster (me) is mad there's no dk64/dkc block this year. Dk64 is the most magical time to post here. I'll def take dkc2 (the best dk game) over nothing tho.

no DK64 this year means we can't shitpost about THE GREAT APE WAR again which is a real shame, that was the highlight of last GDQ's thread for me.

i also learned a lot of stuff i never wanted to know about the sonic archie comics. so that was fun.

also, hello.

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.

guys I just cannot overstate how hype the Bloodborne All Bosses run is going to be. Please watch it. It will completely remove the stench of that dumb rear end in a top hat who was bad at the game a couple years ago who did any% by cheating his stats all the way up and facehugged all the bosses. sigh.

"All Bosses" is an insanely hype route and it includes the DLC bosses and the routing is super fun. Bloodborne is also a masterpiece and this is the run it deserves .....


Just have fun and post! Good posting power comes from the heart, not the memes my friend. It is an honor to have you join us on our ship.

i have never played or seen bloodborne but i love souls games and have 100%ed them all (including demon's souls :gonk: )

1. will the run make sense?
2. will the run spoil things in the event i ever play bloodborne?

It's going to essentially show off the whole game so yes of course it will spoil things

i meant more in terms of "will they be revealing how to beat the bosses/areas the way a normal pleb like me can use or can i still play and bumble around like a moron for 2/3rds of the game until i figure out how to play it correctly"

Hello wawa/philly friend (let's go all the way eagles!)

The run will make sense in that he's gonna be running around owning poo poo like a b adass epic hunter, iirc there are only a couple oob moments in the run that'll not make sense but you will appreciate the menuing, routing and boss kills. Like any souls game there aren't much in the vein of cutscenes and dialogue so all that will be spoiled, if it matters to you, are locations and bosses.

i believe in big dick nick. bit sad that the eagles' playoff game is during the saturday of gdq though :smith:

also my girlfriend got wawa coffee for christmas and its so loving good and i'm so excited they're opening one in dc

beep by grandpa posted:

I think you should watch it! Bloodborne is a masterpiece and the run will prob only make you more pumped to play it, in this humble's poster's opinion

okay, cool i will!

I legitimately hate Diddy Kong Racing. There is no game that has made me rage as much as it. Masquerades as a children's game, but it's a cheating POS. I just thought you all should know that.

Wizpig cheated like hell and the speed run last year(?) where they best him by 2 laps was so cathartic.

I will miss the audience cam though.

No more DS dad.

But also no idiots mugging for the camera

Regy Rusty posted:

There was an older man playing what appeared to be a DS in the audience and people fixated on him and drew art and all kinds of things.

It turned out he neither was playing a DS or was a Dad but he was still a cool guy and has actually gotten even more involved in GDQ since and sometimes does announcements.

The other famous audience cam moment was when that girl got up and it looked like a guy sniffed her seat but it was creatively edited and he was in fact picking up his backpack or something.

I've played through this game most of the way a number of years ago and outside of one or two boss fights i remember basically nothing about it

Arkham City was very memorable. Asylum was the first one and had some stuff that clearly didn't work.

Origins was terrible and they should've killed the series after that.
