DEEP STATE PLOT posted:i spent some time trying to learn shell jumps and never got it down at all, poo poo is so much harder than it looks 100%. Beating a level in a hack with a shell jump just takes enough patience, doing it infinitely over and over in crazy different ways is so nuts. They keep on talking about how nobody in 2017 could have ever imagined the collective skill level in the community and this run certainly shows that the gently caress off.

This is probably one of the most low-energy GDQ finales but who can blame anyone seeing that it's almost 6 AM local time. This is also where I have to call it, but have to watch a lot of stuff later, look forward to seeing peoples' rec lists.

And that's the end for this one! Now it is the time for the post-marathon catchup, and for that, we need recommendations. And so, I will begin by collecting every recommendation list posted after this post and put them in the second post of the thread!

The credits are still rolling right now, but I'm already typing up some personal recommendations for SGDQ2023: PHOGS! (remote): An indie game about a two-headed dog in stretchy adventures. Physics are not so much a science but a suggestion in this game, with the dog(s?) spinning, rotating and launching itself everywhere. I can still imagine playing this on co-op with someone because clearly that experience will be nothing like the craziness of this run. Peggle Deluxe: Is an hour of Peggle really fun to watch? Well, that's up to you. But although the game is just very repetitive the couch does a great job talking about all the tactics, strategies and tricks that go into speedrunning this game. It's more than just shoot at a peg and await the result. Overcooked! 2: The "YES CHEF" meme got really run into the ground in no time, but I still got to respect the introduction to this run and the teamwork displayed throughout it. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 & Curse of the Moon 2: I love Castlevania, but I've seen Symphony of the Night and the first game played in several forms so many times. So I appreciated this continuation/loveletter to the series and love that it has plenty of tricks and strategies to make it more exciting. Also, the second game has a dog... piloting a mech? Amazing! Shout-out to The Blacktastic who ran the first game and was an excellent couch on the second one. The Elder Scrolls anthology: Two hours, six games (one was an incentive). I like how each title in the series offered something different. Arena is very repetitive, but that's because they broke it that way. Daggerfall feels like such an ambitious title for that era, no wonder it has the reputation that it all feels like it is held together by duct tape (this run included). Morrowind is a blink and you'll miss it run. Oblivion just skips so much. I can't say much about Skyrim, because I was preparing food at that point. Incentive game Redguard is such wonderful late nineties jank. True Crime: New York City: Speaking of jank, have some more, take your fill! This GTA clone from 2005 has enough of it. A pleasure to watch it being broken apart. And the rest of my suggestions haven't been uploaded to YouTube yet but they include games like Titanfall 2 and Star Wars: Dark Forces. I'll also still need to watch Alpha Prime but based on the game choice, the runner and the couch I think it'll be amusing to watch.

Resident Evil 6 was amazing, very glad the incentive went the way it did. The whole horror block was pretty solid. The silly block was kinda disappointing. True Crime was by far the best but it was also the first game and nothing else even came close.

PHOGS was a very mood game of weird hot dog creature flopping around to get eaten and then regurgitated. Peggle had lots of pegging and it was great. Is that beans? Yes chef, yes it is. i don't remember why i liked Gauntlet, but i did. maybe for watching someone beat such a quarter eater into submission Golf It! because the commentary was adorable, and balls were matched. Give Me Toilet Paper! is a lovely bizarre japanese indie game featuring, well, toilet paper, and someone that needs it. The Cat in the Hat for primo old licensed game jank. The Incredible Hulk's runner was great at appreciating Hulk rear end. i swear this isn't just a listing of Silly Block. i also liked the Pokemon runs! though probably less as something i would recommend for vods than their being good live chill runs the couple running The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords had a great dynamic; im sad it looks like they maybe don't stream that often, but definitely my one "im subscribing to this channel because i would legit watch these people outside GDQ" even though i don't normally watch much speedrunning outside the events the SMM relay, however, is definitely VOD-worthy if you somehow missed it. did i quite understand what was going on? no. sort of! i have no idea how the runners do that. primo sports to convince your polycule to watch. i have no idea how the blind BotW run or the poohbear run went, i passed out before waking up at like 3am most of the way through the metroid race here's to yet another go of "yeah, you know what, charity needs this more than i do." traveling through less well off parts of the world immediately prior to an MSF fundraiser is one hell of a motivator thanks to rhythm block for helping me slog through some photo edits

Recommendations, from what I've watched - there's a lot I haven't that I am still catching up on: Banjo-Kazooie: long run, but worth it for the nostalgia alone, and some great showing off of tricks, most of which work (and the ones that didn't were very entertaining). Loom: Ask me about LOOM! (It was good.) Peggle Deluxe: I never thought Peggle could be this exciting. Castlevania Symphony of the Night Randomizer: I loved Dr4gonBlitz' run at AGDQ earlier this year and this was more of the same but very, very broken. As ever his patter is great and is good at explaining the game. Overcooked 2: The origin of YES, CHEF. Also, see the film The Menu. Alpha Prime: Danejerus is back after his Fashion Police Squad run and this is a doozy. Broken levels and a good amount of jank. Chair, please! Ratatouille: Where YES, CHEF reached meme status. The Elder Scrolls Anthology: Watch broken games get ever more broken. N++: I completely forgot about this game and I used to play it a lot. Great to see someone run it who knows what they're doing. Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask Randomizer: Highly entertaining randomized run by Spikevegeta. Excellent couch and the display showing all the items yet to get was very helpful. Paper Mario: Also for the nostalgia, but apparently the Paper Mario speedrunning community is absolutely insane with injokes and memes and that made the donations very entertaining, especially because the host was Danejerus. True Crime New York City: The true start of Silly Block, and Danejerus continues to read out funny donations while the runner plays through a broken yet entertaining GTA clone. Golf It!: The energy between the two runners was hypnotic. The whole thing is definitely worth a watch for the vibes alone. Give Me Toilet Paper!: Self-explanatory. VVVVVV: Excellent game run excellently, and an excuse to listen to that banging soundtrack again. Wild Guns: YEEEEEHHHHAAWWWWWW! Seriously, watch it, it's only 20 minutes and it's a hell of a ride.

A couple I haven't seen mentioned yet: Kaizo Monkey Ball - Monkey Ball is always hype, now imagine the kinds of stuff a bunch of dedicated fans would put together. Very fun watch. Clone Hero - What if Guitar Hero, but too much? Truly insane run that starts out looking like hail Mary button mashing, but the longer it goes the more it dawns on you the precision and talent on display. Ends with a sick sing-along, too! Sure Shot - Mario romhack run by Shoujo. Great goofy energy between the runner and the couch.

So glad I didn't stay up for the finale, I'd have been ruined for the whole week. I didn't get to watch as much as I'd have liked to, but my top runs: Overcooked 2 (All-timer) FF4 (If you are an RPG-run enjoyer like myself this is top-tier) Loom (point-and-click shenanigans) Monkey Island (more point-and-click shenanigans) SMM2 Relay (Best Mario maker race yet, and that is very high praise) PHOGS! (Weird-rear end indie game, very compelling) GTA: SA (kz_frew on couch, broken AF game, very un-marathon safe) Darkest Dungeon (Bit short, but as someone who sucks at DD this was super cathartic)

The timing for this marathon was very weird. Silly Block was at an unwatchably late hour and the website for GDQ says its going through June 5 but I woke up this morning and the marathon's been over since 4AM for me, apparently. I wish they would be more considerate of west coast timing for the fun stuff :/

HonorableTB posted:the website for GDQ says its going through June 5 but I woke up this morning and the marathon's been over since 4AM for me, apparently. Totally agree that the timing seemed very weird though. I missed most of the runs because week of Memorial Day just isn't a convenient week for my schedule personally and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also saw a bunch of comments from people who didn't even realize GDQ was happening until partway/most of the way through the event. They announced the early date as far back as the finale of AGDQ and tried to get the word out, but it still felt really off. Looking forward to watching a lot of these in VOD format via the recommendations in the thread.
