Schedule is here! (https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule)
Some really good stuff being speedrun for charity again this summer! It's running all week! Most important is the fact that they are running Pepsiman and Super Amazing Wagon Adventure :V
-
Jewel Master, holy shit.
My best friend and I used to play the crap out of that at his place; then I forgot the title for decades til like last year when I literally just went through every genesis game on Gamefaqs to find it.
-
I got a few things I look forward to, it's going to be fun this year too!
-
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
Any% Insane 1-Handed
Casually doing a speedrun 1 handed. In a marathon. In a category where you die in 1 hit. This Halfcoordinated fellow seems...interesting. Do runs typically get uploaded to Youtube because I'd love to watch this but it's at 3 AM for me.
-
> Super Metroid Any % Race
> Zoast
Already know who's winning this.
Also hype for that SMRPG run to close the show.

Yeah, they usually have VODs uploaded to YT.
And yeah, Halfcoordinated is nuts like that. He also did Vanquish and Transformers Devastation one-handed. He pretty much has to though. IIRC he's partially disabled or something, hence "Halfcoordinated".
-
Do we have any of our folks at SGDQ this year?

You're right, he has a physical disability called hemiparesis. But wow, he's incredible. Speedrun.com has him 2nd for Any% Insane in Momodora and less than 2 minutes behind WR. (http://www.speedrun.com/momo4#Any) Great to see he doesn't let his disability limit him.

PX said he couldn`t go, i don`t remember exactly why though, i think it was because he couldn`t schedule the time to do it ?
-
IT BEGINS
-
Eh, there isn't really anything I would want to watch happening when I can do that. Also the Kitty Kaho plushes for 1/2coordinated's Momo4 run bid incentive are cute. Whoever gets them is gonna a happy camper. (And also something about charity and stuff.)

Oh, and have fun watching games being played fast as much as you do playing them!
-
Me: 'Huh; 150,000 watching Sunshine? What's getting viewbotte... OH MY GOOOOD'
I get home in time Monday to watch the tail end of the Mega Man block. I'll watch Ratchet and Clank before I go to bed [Should end ~11pm]
Tuesday back in time for most of Castlevania
Sonic block Wednesday gotta watch that I'm off
I'll be able to watch some of Jak+Daxter before I leave for work Thursday
Friday I'm off and Kirby; Mario Mega Man oh my!
I have to watch glitchless Red on Sat. I run Yellow sometimes.
That's my basic must watches.
-
I can always count on the site to tell me about GDQs at the literal last minute. :fail:

Same same. I'll be all over that VOD.
-
Wow, there's an Elder Scrolls block? With Daggerfall? I wonder how many times it's gonna crash.
-
Link Between Worlds is...Quite the thing, it's like the glitches from the N64 titles wiggled their way into a 2D Zelda game.
-

I also have no money :|
Also watch my bud Ghoul do Catherine tonight and IrisJoker do Trauma Center late Friday (Saturday)
-
This goddamn Tropical Freeze race is so back and forth it's great
-
Dat Catherine run tho. No-death, one player two controller (one of which was a fight stick!).
-
More like Quality Game Neo :V
Also if there was one person on American television who I'd trust with promoting a speedrunning marathon to a national audience, it would've been Colbert. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvLwpnn1F4Y)

This really made my night, thanks for sharing this. :D
I dunno how much of this marathon I'm gonna watch. I have my birthday tomorrow and I've been meaning to finish my FJF run so I can move onto other projects. I'll check in from time to time, though.
-
I couldn't go to SGDQ this year because I wasn't able to get cheap transportation. As long as it stays in Minnesota or North Dakota or something I should pretty easily be able to get there though, so hopefully I can go next time.
Anyways, same as for AGDQ I updated my greasemonkey script to give the stream maximal screen space and only keep the nav bar at the top. Try it out maybe?

The Ratchet and Clank runner is called Raikaru what is this.
-
Spyro and Ratchet & Clank runs were really fun. I didn't know about that Infinite Glide Jump glitch.
-
Holy hell, Link's Awakening just got destroyed.

Zelda games seem to have a habit of breaking under the right circumstances. :V

So Romscout is going to be doing SotN blindfolded. That's gonna be fun when it happens

Welp, now I'm interested in SotN!
Also, Jedi Academy was actually great, solely because of the commentator. What a pleasant surprise.

TAKE A BATH.
His enthusiasm was great
EDIT:

Krimmydoodle isn't running anything but he was on the couch during the Megaman 8 run
-
Goddamn, the amount of work Blindfolded SotN must have needed. This is amazing.

TFW you find out the trigger doesnt fuckin work in the menu :^J

EDIT: also go watch the momodora run if you missed it, halfcoordinated is a true inspiration and a hero.

Braid RTA
World Record. :toot:

emphasis on RTA, normally they use in-game time

The Super Meat Boy run last night was a scene to behold. I remember giving up at the start of world 3 because of how the difficulty jumps and watching platforming expert Raocow die thousands of times and struggle stage after stage. This kid blew through 170 or so levels with maybe 20 deaths altogether.
Also that game is super frustrating. The worst the runner had to say was basically "aw, nuts." What are these people?!

People who practice the game lot. Literally anyone can pick it up and practice to this point, they're all regular people
-
With enough grinding, I was able to eventually get all the achievements for Super Meat Boy.
Would never try to learn the speedruns for it though because that requires a much higher consistency than just getting through the chapters once without death.
-
This Jak and Daxter run is hilarious. The crowd is basically just trolling Bonesaw.

that run will go down as one of the GDQ greats next to stuff such as Metal Wolf Chaos.
-
Unfortunately I missed the back end of the J+D run since I had to go to work.
It was amusing what I saw however.
More needs to be said of the Sonic '06 run; which wouldn't have been that far off World Record... if for some random reason when going on a set of springs in the final level the game didn't softlock, leaving Sonic eternally spinning stationary in the air between springs. This took a little while to register as a softlock and then needed a restart mission button costing a fair bit of time.
'Every time you play Sonic '06 you see something new' - The runner.
As someone who's actually played Sonic '06 I agree.
-
Entertaining Tetris exhibition, as usual.
-
After a sleepless night watching yesterday's classic FPS segment (DOOOOOOOOOM), here comes another sleepless night with the magnificent Bethesda block coming up in a short while. It's my first time watching these events live and it's fun.
-
Don't miss the next run, we got awesome meme in the form of PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
-

SET ME FREE
TRUST ME AND WE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE PEPSI

Sheik confirmed for Pepsiman

I encourage everybody to watch the Trauma Center run later tonight, IrisJoker is an awesome guy and it's probably the most fitting run ever for the marathon. It's also a cool run, including some absolutely ridiculous things (I'm cheering for a bandage kill)

He's dressed like a surgeon =D

What an intense game.

That Super Metroid race.
-
That Super Metroid race.
More like "that one time only Behemoth walked away from that race." Sheesh, they can save as many frames as they want but it doesn't mean much if they can't save themselves. :V Maybe next time Safety Saves should be mandatory.
Also, over 1.22 million raised as of the end of SM RPG, holy crap!
-
To me part of what makes the current Super Metroid Any% races so exciting is that understanding that the race can end at any time, especially with this new route (the old route is still around for people who aren't in the 50:00 range and is safer). It's the penultimate game and arguably the biggest game of every GDQ. Also the runners can allow saves if they so choose but they agreed not to (and to also not get any safety energy tanks). If they say "no" then you can argue that they can go with "who got farther faster" as a tiebreaker.
Also official new SGDQ record was reached right before the Smithy fight, meaning we get SM64 race. It's hard to believe watching SGDQ for the first time in 2013 that we'd get to the point where we'd increase the donation total by around 5x in 3 years (it was ~$250k that year).
-
AGDQ 2014 was ridiculously popular and that's when the entire speedrunning community pretty much went mainstream
-
Man, I remember when I first saw a GDQ and it was just in some dude's house.
