Freedom planet 2 had it all: -run by a goon -fast paced action on a game I'd never heard of. - One of the commentators helped with game dev, I think he was a tester. -another commentator was interrupting others so frequently it was comedic. To the point he was getting the others visibly annoyed.

I'm glad people enjoyed the Freedom Planet 2 run so much, it's been a long time since I put that much effort in such a short time for a GDQ run and despite some mistakes and general trolling by the game (looking at you, Milla) I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I got the tricks I was nervous about, for the most part. Two weeks ago that Ancestral Forge time would have been a PB. And, of course, thanks to Punchy for agreeing to do commentary for it! It's a shame that there was so much crosstalk, but I didn't think enough about how much everybody would have to say. Maybe if we'd rehearsed once or twice but I didn't really have time to organize that with everything else that was going on.

It's just that there weren't many 3+ couches this GDQ so by contrast it feels busy. And once you compare it to things like Dark Souls 2, where there was no couch and a lot more silence, yeah of course it feels like Freedom Planet 2 was a lot of things at once.

One of the commentators was rude as hell (though not on purpose, he seemed to just be REALLY excited about the run) and UA and Punchy aren't mentioning it. Don't forget that UA actually had to tell him to shut up just to get the start timer going. You don't have to be nice all the time.

I didn’t see the entire run but I had no problem with the FP2 comms. Could tell the one person was less practiced with ‘main stage commentary’ and was just going totally off the cuff with their speed runner brain commentary. From the sections I watched the couch was normal and pleasant. Good (and fast) run

it's kinda true in the sense that I don't really like having three people on couch for anything myself, at least in the online format. highly recommend a maximum of two, even three good commentators are likely to stumble over each other a bit at that point unless they have explicitly practiced their rotation beforehand

Don't forget that UA actually had to tell him to shut up just to get the start timer going. And then had to tell him to shut up again later on so he could focus on a tricky section of the game. It's a shame, because I enjoyed the run at first, but I ended up feeling exhausted by the end because Revolucion would not stop chattering and people struggled to get a word in edgewise.

My experience in commentary has been that putting three people in the booth leads to chaos and people either fighting to talk over people or not getting a word in at all because they didn't, so that tracks

While 3 people may cause chaos, Revolucion cutting in on every person on every thing said was off the charts. I wouldn't expect anybody part of that run to acknowledge it here at all. Punchy: during testing we didn't... Revolucion: YA! I finished this part in under 2 minutes. The chat was literally chanting"YAYAYA"

If I could only recommend two runs to watch they would be: 1. Portal - Airboat% 2. Salamander County Public Television Caveat: I enjoy really goofy games. SCPT almost sparked a new gdq meme (that's beans), and the Portal run exceeded expectations.

There was a run some years back, in person, where one guy on the couch (1 runner, 2 couch) could not let anyone else finish a point before steamrolling over them to explain it himself. It got to the point that by the end the runner was laughing every time it happened and chat was losing their poo poo.

tbh besides the one part where ua had to repeatedly tell the one person to shut up for the tricky part i really liked the full improv couch. it kept things moving and lively and just felt like everyone was having a good time

One run I'd want to add to recs is Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. The pitch is similar to Blade II if you liked that run: extremely janky early 2000s game, there's a fun dev on commentary, and lots of bizarre facts like abusing mouse DPI switches and telekinesis to push the player character through doors and walls. Also saw a few people with kind words about my Armored Core run, thank you!!! The games list came out before AC6 was announced, so it was a fun coincidence to have AC in a GDQ for the first time when a new game gets teased.

 you're a goon?I really enjoyed your commentary on this AGDQ and past speedruns. I will actively watch runs I know nothing about just from your inclusion in the commentary or as a runner. Doing excellent work

Thank you! Yeah, I should mention I also did comms for Gungrave and I'm going to die if I don't eat sushi, which also turned out real well. Great runners in Cosmic and Bullets. Chainclaw posted:Your Armored Core run made me play some Armored Core 3 again. Took me a bit to decide between 2 and 3, but I decided to go with 3 this time. Hell yeah. I've been dragging my feet on moving on to try and speedrun the PS2 games for a year or two now, so hoping to finally get to that this year. Besides AC4, I haven't played much of the series beyond AC3. I just have such a deep love of janky 3D PS1 games  Reading this AGDQ thread has been comfy! Good work, goons.

My only complaint is that it was kind of frustrating seeing Ancestral Forge and Inversion Dynamo being played well. I had over 20 minutes on those levels!

AC is one of those series ive always meant to try because it sounds cool and looks dope, and somewhat makes me think of one of the best psx games ever, Omega Boost even though theyre completely different. which would be a good one to start with? I didnt watch your run, nor am i going to.
