Awfulgames, escpecially Animorphs und following Super Hydlide. Fallout Anthology, one of the highlights was explaining a glitch at the beginning of fallout 4. KingDime doing Doom Sigil, just awesome as usual and the levels just looks brutal Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! because 2players 1 controller both blindfolded. All Relay Races so far Mushihime-sama Futari 1.01, highly skill recommendation and the runner was so pumped with adrenaline after playing the whole game (understandable, if you have played bullet hell yourself) OoT 100% no source. absolute insane glitch happens here. and zfg is doing it all in rta marathon and first try. have to see it to believe it Last of Us: Left Behind | ||

Mushihime-sama Futari: Bullet Hell runs are extremely impressive anyway - even more so when played on the highest difficulty. But this run had a handful of hiccups and apparently the backup strategy is "just do the impossible". Extremely intense final minutes and you could feel the tension emminating from the couch. Terraria: The run was an emotional roller coaster. OoT 100% no source: This is the epitome of a speed run for me: I only watched half of it including the ultra broken glitch (accomplished first try btw!), but it felt like the entire thing was just a non-stop glitch fest. Apparently, not only doors are a suggestion in OoT but simply everything. It was also pretty impressive to see what a 100% run looks in 2020 compared to AGDQ 2013 done in 3 hours less. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!: 2 players, 1 controller, blindfolded... finished in half the estimated time... Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) (Silver's Story No MSG%): I don't think I have ever heard the phrase "frame perfect" being mentioned this often. Other runs I enjoyed: Star Wars - Escape from Yavin 4: The Lost Maps (Any% no VRGI): CovertMuffin simply makes every run a fun experience to watch. Super Mario Bros. 3 (100% race): close and exciting race Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Any% Race): Another nice race | ||

The Ganbare Goemon, Rockman 4-6, Daimakaimura and Ninja Ryukenden II races were also really cool! | ||

Absolutely disgusting. Sad to see a great event for a great cause get dragged into the political mire by the usual radicals that have to politicize everything they touch. | ||

I had to struggle to believe what I saw when people got banned in chat for asking certain questions, You know they always say "I got banned for asking questions" but it usually was some vile shit like "why are n****** and f****** allowed to run at this event?". Usually it's that kinda thing and never something harmless. And yes accidents happen. And that sucks but those usually get revoked pretty fast by GDQ. that multiple runners were banned for political differences after having travelled to the event Examples please. Afaik only around ~20-25 people are banned from GDQs at all and most of them are due to harassing runners/audience/mods or actual criminal conduct like trespassing at the hotel, distribution of drugs or sexual harassment. The only 2 people who I can remember claiming to have been banned for political reasons are Cyberdemon and PvtCb. And everyone who has been involved in the speedrunning community beyond watching 2 GDQs each year knows that these 2 really should not be your example. There are some submission bans I disagree with or disagreed with in the past but even the whole general "Everyone gets banned from GDQ" thing is a overdone meme by people who want to shit on GDQ without having any clue about the event bar some reddit threads. Absolutely disgusting. Sad to see a great event for a great cause get dragged into the political mire by the usual radicals that have to politicize everything they touch. By the usual radicals? That's just the way things have to go when they go big and hit mainstream audiences. When your event get's so big you can't have a chat shouting racist shit whenever an afroamerican person just walks throw the stream. You need to put out a product that appeals to your casual decent human being. And tbh it seems to work. Personally I too would appreciate it if the events would be a tad bit less sanitized but in the end some of the best GDQs have been some of the last ones so I'm not going to complain about it an awful lot when they put out great event after great event. The vast majority of people still seem to like GDQ. Even the ones who are watching since 2013 and earlier. The speedrunning community overall still loves it as does the general audience. It's always just a certain minority who can't handle it anymore. So maybe it's you who is the problem and not GDQ | ||

I had to struggle to believe what I saw when people got banned in chat for asking certain questions, that multiple runners were banned for political differences after having travelled to the event, and people were forcefully removed or bullied from the audience for similar reasons. Absolutely disgusting. Sad to see a great event for a great cause get dragged into the political mire by the usual radicals that have to politicize everything they touch. Can you please give some examples with sources? What kinds of questions? What kinds of beliefs? There are plenty of questions and beliefs that are absolutely banworthy or at least inappropriate, so you're gonna need to be more specific. Furthermore, it comes off as a little hypocritical that you're defending people for apparently being political on a speedrunning-for-charity marathon that should probably remain apolitical, yet upset when others retaliate based on their own politics. How is it the fault of the "radical left" for retaliating or regulating the event when another partisan group (presumably, the right?) tries to opportunistically use this event for their own political promotions? You can't seriously say that the left is to blame for politicizing the event, right after conceding that they were reacting to others (the right?) who started it. | ||
