I will shamelessly post this on the new page too I'm sure he will be back to compile them. From what I took notes and gathered, and I have yet to see a lot of good stuff towards the end of the week Metroid Prime Hunters DKC2 race Mega Man 2 Bust-a-move 4 Actraiser race Beyond Oasis Part Time UFO Pumpkin Jack Marathon 2: Durandal * PAON We love Katamari GeoGuessr Majora's Mask 3D (awful block) Zelda's adventure * Taz-Mania Zadette Discworld Circle of the Moon Rockman & Forte Spider-Man 2 Wario Land Legend of Spyro Earthbound Link to the Past Typing of the Dead GeoGuessr e: Raiding theblacktastic, nice Fun fact: back when at the end of SGDQ 2019 ... ? they raided Cypherin and he got so much traffic his poor old laptop couldn't handle it. I've been following him ever since, he's a great guy. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jan 16, 2022 |

Hahaha GDQ went and raided theblacktastic's channel and the poor dude has 16k new subs and people are gifting 10 subs all over the place and he can't concentrate on what he's doing and can't keep up with the chat, he's completely flummoxed.

That's what generally happens when you get 40 thousand new viewers at once, lol Last time I watched they raided kekumanshoyu and he was completely blown away and aforementioned Cypherin even more

Also shoutout to Cartridgeblowers and everyone involved with the tech/staff of the event. The layout was sick and there's so many people volunteering. I'd kinda want to do something for the event myself too in the future, if there's a chance.

Anyone have the Keizaron-as-Caterknees fanart that they're talking about in the Crystal run? This sounds incredibly haunted and I must see it.

Huge props to everyone involved in technical and hosting. I know it's subjective but this has been my favourite GDQ in a while, there were so many runs I wanted to watch, and I've still got a bunch to catch up on but so far I haven't seen a single disappointing run. Highlights (so far) I haven't seen discussed much yet, I'd say KH2 randomiser, SNOLF, Halo CE, and Stepmania. Also I know Sekiro has been discussed a lot but holy poo poo.

Slickdrac posted:So uhhh, OP apparently abandoned thread 6 minutes into the event, anyone else maintain any list? I will be gathering up recommendations but don't have the time to dig through the entire thread, so I will mainly be looking at this page + anything posted from now + maybe the last couple pages. So definitely post recommendations if you got them, I only managed to watch something like 20 runs live for the entire duration of the event, so I don't got much to recommend myself and my post-marathon catchup watchlist is significantly longer than it usually is.

It was a very good GDQ. My recommendations based on what I managed to catch: DKC2 race - Real tight race, lots of great moments, great commentary. Sonic 4 Episode II - Simultaneously the most wholesome and cursed GDQ world record. Pokemon Crystal - Watch this one less for the run itself and more for the amazing couch hangout vibe and fantastic memes. So good it spawned a new GDQ chat emote. GeoGuessr - It's always a blast to watch people who are better at geography than you will ever be. Awful Block - It's Awful Block. Kingdom Hearts II randomizer - Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of work has gone into this randomizer over the last several months, and it's worth it for the end of the race! crossbeats REV. Sunrise - Showcase of an obscure touchscreen rhythm game with lots of cool tunes. Rockman & Forte - Really great run of a difficult speedgame, with very good commentary from PJ! Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories - More "couch hangout" vibes. Stepmania/NotITG - Showcase of an obscure "challenge mod" subset of a not-as-obscure open-source emulator of the least obscure rhythm game. EarthBound - Japanese runner does a TAS with their bare hands. Insane RNG manipulation. I'd say this is on the level of NEScardinality's Dragon Warrior run from a couple years back. Zelda LttP - Legendary Japanese speedrunner hotarubi reminds us that walls are merely a suggestion. Tetris TGM - It's motherfucking Tetris TGM. Sekiro - Blindfolded run, with great commentary. e: omfg I forgot Chicory! Punchy's always a must-see. DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jan 16, 2022 |

It's a very professional operation. There's a reason those credits are so long. As far as recommendations, here's runs I got to see and liked:
