Castlevania Harmony of Despair. dont think this ones been at a gdq before. i remember really liking this when i played it and for some reason its like hte only cv game without a port
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
Final Fantasy 7. nice long run to chill out to. been showne before i think unless im confusing it with ESA
Yo Noid 2: Game of a Year Edition. a good one to start the awful block with. rest of the block looking good also
Dokkaebi-ga Ganda. no idea what it is but its being run by dowolf so ima check it out. well the vod at least 5am is uh no thanks
The World Ends With You
Final Fantasy 14 Palace of the Dead. havent touched potd and augh machinist but hey its the critically acclaimed mmorpg final fantasy 14 which has an expanded free trial that goes up to level 60 and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning expansion Heavensward
Super Mario All Stars shuffler
Terraria. same category as the last time it was shown that didnt have the best of endings. maybe this time will be different!

theres several other things ill end up watching as well. not a bad lineup this time

I haven't watched Splatoon 3 in a few months but I wouldn't be surprised if it's several minutes shorter than the last time I saw it, based on the rate it was going before.

tag

Aw yeah. The most wonderful time of the year.

Yay, I can actually watch this one!

What the heck is a Metroid Prime 1+2 multiworld randomizer? Is it like the Super Metroid+Link to the Past randomizer where items are in both games randomized? That sounds like complete insanity for Primes.

Yes, but the "multiworld" part isn't about it being both games. These are in LttP/SMZ3/etc randomizers as well, but you'll notice there are 2 runners. "Multiworld" means that they're playing a single seed applied to both players and can find either their own or the other person's items in their game as well. And while it won't be the case here, most multiworlds can accommodate way more than just 2 people.

Shameless plug of something I'm barely involved in these days, but B8 actually does monthly multiworlds across a bunch of different games if anyone likes the sound of the idea but isn't sure how to get into it.

almost time for the preshow

these skits cause me physical pain

embrace the cringe

the skits aren't nearly as cringe as half the shit people send in as donation comments

Listen I like bad puns, but this Cuphead run is making want to shut this off. They're just trying too hard.

That's what makes them great.

I do love the silliness of AGDQ but the endless puns do get pretty old.

The puns rule

Tag for good runs people say to watch afterwards

I don't love the puns, but I'd rather have them than not.

The Shredder's revenge race apparently just set a new WR.

Devastated I'm missing Illbleed at the dead of night.

ssx run was good. ive played tricky, 3, the reboot or whatever but havent seen the first one. its basically just tricky with less stuff so i guess i technically have seen it. kinda makes me want to play tricky some more

the dkc3 was fine but it was what it was. not a fan of races or dkc any%s

I turned it off halfway through

I think Cuphead was disappointing because of the nonstop puns but especially disappointing because we're probably used to TheMexicanRunner doing Cuphead and he's great.

I didnt get off work for this one, sadly, so I'm mostly keeping an eye on the night shift games.

Runs I need to rewatch and/or looking forward to are VtM:Bloodlines, any and all Castlevania (HD is hilarious if it's a preleveled Soma or Jonathan but still plenty interesting on a fresh file with anyone but Yoko.)

Also as resident FFXIV obsessive I'm interested in the PotD run and hope the runner in question has the common sense to block out their world and ingame name so they dont get tell-spammed while focusing.

And yes, support our lad dowolf. I'm going to be attempting to crash early tomorrow to catch it.

Which run is his this year?

based on dowolf + Japanese title, the game will be hilariously terrible

WR in Super Mario Galaxy 2 Any%!

Another wr in a race, this time jhay in Super Mario Galaxy 2 Any%

The SMG2 is an absolute mustwatch. Jhay on world record pace in a 3 hour run live on marathon.

I like how Twitch says they're playing Resident Evil 4 when it's actually 7...

It's funny trying to find the awful block just by looking at the schedule, questioning each potentially ridiculous sounding name I'm unfamiliar with, and then stumbling onto Pac-Man 2 like the bat signal shining in the sky.

LOL, yeah I was kinda thinking a similar thing earlier

I dont think I like the rules for this Spyro bingo race. If you complete a goal you should have to immediately claim it. If you want to snipe somebody and make them waste time on a goal youre going to finish firs, you should have to actually leave it unfinished (like leave one gem uncollected, for example) and then hurry back and finish it before they do. Getting to just suddenly say surprise I beat that already five minutes ago after theyve wasted time on it is a real bummer

Is that just how Bingo goes? I feel like the Super Mario Sunshine Bingo race at GDQ a while back also did that.

dowolf on stream now.

Awful (good) run.

I'll watch that later but congrats in the meanwhile!

1 million hype!

Mario Kart 8 up next.

Hype

1million #hype #airboat #orb

In the most Castlevania way possible, too D:

watched some awful block. stopped at dowolfs run gonna finish it up maybe tonight? quick thoughts

yo noid 2 not so good. i remember cutscenes in a previous run but i guess that was an incentive
pac man 2 didnt know this was a thing. definitely worth a watch
yolanda sounds like complete bullshit but the run went smooth. worth a watch
lizard lady vs the cats is uh. not a very interesting run buts its like 5 minutes so whatever
office race seems silly but not a good watch
salamander county public television is the highlight so far. this run was beans
battle of the eras is neat but its not a good run. it was made by 3 14 year olds back in like 95 so its kinda impressive in a way
morodashi sumo silly but not a very interesting run

StepMania hype!

This StepMania exhibition is insane

I feel like we're running the risk of having a runner drop dead at AGDQ right now

I hope he's okay after this. He said he partially pulled his groin somewhere in the middle and then did a bunch more songs.

Yeah like. I get that the pressure was on him to keep going because he was bringing in tens of thousands of dollars, but I feel like a host should have shut it down for his safety (also for liability tbh)
