Hello chums, I am excited for AGDQ 2018 because I love watching this event. There are some games on the list I've player but not seen speedrun before so that'll be fun to see! One year I hope to attend in person to watch as much as I can but sadly for me that is not this year. Once again I will probably post more in this thread than I do in an entire year on the forums because I am boring and bad at posting.

TeaJay posted:I think PJ's Lagoon run is probably one of the best, if not THE best GDQ run I've seen. It's got everything you want, PJ, a hilarious, broken game and a great couch & commentary. Might and Magic VI was probably my favourite run from last SGDQ, it was utterly fantastic.

That Skyrim run owned and was hilarious. I’m sure it’s going to end up as one of the top runs to watch for people who missed it live.

The last time an Animorphs game was run, which was a GBA game I think, I didn’t know that Animorphs was an actual thing. I thought it was some crazy romhack or something. The chat thread during that run taught me about Animorphs. I am so glad I know more about Animorphs especially because it led to this fantastic game being speedrun right now. I was asleep/busy before I could watch Animorphs so are there any other games from the past 8 hours or so I should catch up on?

So the story of that stage is that spider-man has to get the boss to activate the explosives to blow up the building? Is spider-man the baddies?

This thread is really hyping me up for the Arabian Nights run, I’m definitely going to have to watch the VOD for that after the rest of awful block is over.

Ramadu posted:you won't regret it big boy If this is the sort of amazing thing that came out of Arabian Nughts I’m going to have to go back a bunch of pages and read through the thread at the same time as watching (this is what I always do when I watch VODs anyway, but it seems especially important this time).

Whenever I watch a GDQ event it always makes me think I want to try speedrunning, and usually that’s Star Control 2. Then become awesome and number one in the world, and somehow run it at a GDQ event. There are three problems for me: 1) I’m bad at videogames 2) I’m lazy 3) I don’t own star control 2. However I will eternally dream of maybe doing one thing to give me internet fame for a tiny amount of time.

Xenothral posted:StarCon 2 would be a rad speedrun, also why not just do it with Ur-Quan Masters? Pigbuster posted:Ur-Quan Masters is free, isn't it? I think Codemasters gave it their blessing, too, since they changed the name. They made an HD one, too. GeneX posted:Grab Ur-Quan Masters, the guys who made Star Control gave it their blessing (and are developing a sequel last I heard!) I think I looked into it a few years ago and there was some oddness that people only accepted the original Star Control 2 for speedrunning because the Ur-Quan Masters was an unofficial version of it. Something like that anyway, my memory is bad. I don’t know much about speedrunning and the community to be perfectly honest, I just like watching GDQ events. I didn’t even expect three posts to be positive about my dumb idea, maybe I really should look into it again to see if people run Ur-Quan Masters now and inspire myself to do something!

I was sure I played this game a huge amount on the Amiga many years ago, but I don’t recognise it at all. (Although admittedly my memory is terrible.)

I had to stop watching very early yesterday and now I have a chance to catch up on some things. Was the Dishonored run worth watching? Also are there any must watch runs that happened after that point?

I’ve never played a kingdom hearts game but I know they are about Disney and square games and there are many of them Where in the series timeline is this game? (Also because I’m an rear end in a top hat I’m not sure if I want to watch it.)

Thanks everyone, I’ll check out Sun or Moon if I decide to buy one soon but I have way too many games to play anyway so I may not actually do so. Also, what’s the difference between Ultra Sun and Sun (or Moon)? RoboJoe fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jan 12, 2018 |

I think I somehow deleted my post trying to post it because I am incompetent. Thank you for the responses everyone, I’ll definitely look into getting Pokemon Sun or Moon if I decide to buy one of them (I have way too many games I’m trying to play right now so I might not.) Also, what is the difference between Ultra Sun and Sun(or Moon)?

This is somewhat unrelated to this speedrun (aside from it being a somewhat long RPG) but today I was thinking about this and I really want to play Ni No Kuni which I’ve been told is good but I’ve only played it for maybe 30 minutes. After GDQ I should try playing it again! I wonder if there are any good speedruns for it too, I should go see if I can find any.

I was in the mood for an RPG that I haven’t played before (and own but due to laziness haven’t played). E: hahaha, apparently the speedruns for Ni No Kuni are 6 hours or so.

I’ve watched two animes in my life: One was Gurren Lagann and the other was the one with the robots. I quite liked Gurren Lagan but I didn’t like the other.

Ah, fair enough, I might skip OoT then. I did watch Metroid 3 on VOD and thought that was okay but I am a crazy person, so maybe I’ll like the OoT run. I could use that time to do something like playing a videogame myself today. Or maybe just watch the stream live today on my TV while playing Diablo 3 on PC.
