I've been watching intermittently this year, but any particularly great runs so far? I prefer runs with good commentary (either just high energy & comedy, or thorough analysis and explanation both are great) over runs that are just well executed. I particularly like races that have someone not participating running the commentary, like the Mario Maker relay from AGDQ 2016, or Super Metroid at the last SGDQ. | ||

Or just the whole run - I may be biased because I'd just worked a double shift and then stayed up to watch the run (because bonesaw) so I was nearly as tired as he seemed to be, but on rewatching it the comedy still holds up pretty well.

Yeah, Bonesaw's run last year was just an amazing combination of graveyard-shift delirium, couch interaction, crowd involvement and atmosphere. And sadly a proving moment for the whole "no fun environment" considering he was submission banned for 2017 because of that run (though it probably had to do with the Air Canada and Owen Wilson twitter spamming). There's been quite a few good races this year. Other than that, I wouldn't say we've had many standout "must see" runs other than games you're interested in. Awful block is always great, but I was a bit disappointed by the "awfulness" this year - a lot more good concept games with playability flaws, as opposed to the genuine dumpster fire games. | ||

I spend like half of the time i used my PS 1 on that game alone. Felt like a god when i figgured out the shortcut in the sewer level by myself  Had so much fun playing this | ||

Lots of mistake mentioning Yeah there's also the occasional "this trick coming up is actually pretty simple/ easy/ trivial" that sometimes sounds dismissive, but overall I think like 90% of the DKC commentary is supportive and entertaining | ||
