Oh huh they're uploading the runs to the GDQ youtube channel already.
There's some great energy with Dr. Fatbody's Sonic run.
Fatbody's Sonic 1 run was phenomenal, tons of energy, a great runner, and a gigantic couch. A really good run with tons of glitches and techniques being shown off pretty much every minute, it's a must watch.

dancing guy is the best part of the entire event

I was really hoping during the MKDS run some of the people on the couch would just slowly bob their heads to the beat of the track music
Those guys are living it up.

Missed the first 10 minutes, but caught the rest of the THPS2X run. Really good, really great runner and couch. Honestly just wish it was longer. I swear, Tony Hawk games have the best speedruns and the best community
Not a bad start to the day so far, and Halfcoordinated's on right now. He's always fun to watch.
Watched the Jak 3 run with dinner last night. That was fucking wild. The run wasn't really all that technical, and the definition of in bounds that community uses could be questioned. But damn the guys on the couch and the runner were having a blast and it made the run worth watching.
Had a double take moment when I realised they'd skipped like 90% of the game with one hover jump shortly after arriving back in Haven.
As much as I love the technical runs, the ones with a bunch of goofs having too much fun for donating readings are always welcome.
this is the funnest speed run i've ever seen at any gdq
Which one?
And it's hard to say that when we have the legendary bonesaw run and the Sonic 1 run the other day.
Day three ratings. FYI, I'm going to have to pull back a bit for Wd/Th/Fr, since I'm back in the office and can't obsessively watch every run for twelve hours straight. I'll do what I can but it won't be up to the same level. I should be able to watch most of Saturday, and I'll catch up eventually.

Review: Another run where the commentary is done primarily by the couch, not the runner. A good serious run to contrast with the more whimsical runs that made up most of the second day.

Review: A horribly broken run, barely enough time to explain it before it's done. Technically a PB because Primorix has no NG Any% run recorded.

Review: A really good, completely broken run, with massive couch/crowd hype. The runner's heavy Chicago dialect might be grating for some, but the hype levels are infectious.

Review: A game heavy on RNG bosses and autoscrollers. There's some decent speed tech but this is mostly a play-game-well run. Runner gets up to some shenanigans during autoscrollers but that's about it.

Review: The fun here came just as much from the game as from the runners/couch. Not really a close race but fun to see a mashup of nearly every Mario platformer.
Recommended watching: Sonic 1, SMB 3Mix, Sonic Mania
OOOOOOORB
Oh fuck the Mohawk and Headphone Jack run is making me want to vomit out all my fleshy bits
This Dragon's Lair Gameboy game is weird in that it's this depressing husk of a game with bad controls and baffling gameplay, but the art direction and graphics are really good for some reason.
For anyone who hasn't seen it: The Tomb Raider II run by Smoothoperative was pretty good, lots of glitches and overall a pretty chill time.
dude dr. fatbody is definitely themexicanrunner of AGDQ 2019, he seems like such a cool chill guy
Cesleste run is blowin my fuckin mind
Cuphead was great too, and I personally love it when Blechy commentates on runs.
Hands down my favorite run thus far. Great game ran by a great guy with a great crowd. Just a whole buncha fun.
Wind Waker's up next. 100%!
Damn, those cuddle strats worked out in WWHD's sinking ships minigame.
I'd like to thank the donators for running "KABOOM!" into the fucking ground.
And by 'thank' I mean 'strangle'.
the kaboom shit has basically made this WW run unbearable to listen to
haha KABOOM!!!! ORB!!! haha
I was looking forward to this run
Which fuckin sucks since Linkus actually has interesting shit to say.
I've been looking forward to this since the start of the week and now it's tainted by stupid as shit memes.
I like watching chat suffer
