AGDQ 2027 is January 3rd to 10th
SGDQ 2027 is June 20th to 26th
As someone who has for years only been aware of the events after they were done: thank you
January!? That’s so far off, I’ll sign up later. Like in February, knowing me…
There are other events, like Flame Fatales starting Sep 13th.
Balatro and Manual Samuel were my favourites. had to mute the Pizza Tower run because it was a shame the guy sitting on the couch kept insisting on talking over everyone, even the dev of the damn game.
Also as a side note I don’t know who the marketing team is for GDQ but man they need to hire a new one and have for a while now. It seems like a constant thing where people are like “oh I didn’t know it was on” they hardly advertise the thing even when you’re subscribed. the only reason I knew it started last weekend was because I sub to the youtube channel. that’s it. and even then there was no videos advertising the start of it just them showing up in my live feed, that’s it.
Also seriously peoples motivations for donating should not be just to have their donation read on stream. we don’t need to read EVERY SINGLE DONATION that comes in. I know most won’t agree with me on this but years and years of “greetings from Germany” is getting old. it was old 5 years ago.
some highlights for me: Donkey Kong Country 2, System Shock 2, SABOR, Tetris, Resident Evil Requiem, Mario 64 TAS, Link to the Past, and Super Dram World 3
Balatro was also hype.,Total Nuclear Annihilation (physical pinball) very fun, and Hey You, Pikachu! was hilarious.
I think it’s the first time they’ve done pinball live like that? I was astounded at how good a player he was.
I own the same pinball machine, TNA, and it was awesome to have the creator Scott Danesi on the couch talking with the main couch host, the player’s wife.
I miss tasbot on stag, I think I read it was being reported from gdq, still the Mario 64 run was sweet. I logged on exactly when super dram world ended and I got the watch the shell level. Awesome stuff.
Runs I enjoyed:
- American Idol
- Grandma, No!
- Balatro
- Super Mario 64
Not as much stuff as I’d usually enjoy. I still need to watch a couple of runs but my biggest disappointment was the Super Mario Maker 2 troll “race”. Felt more like a Let’s Play. Normally Mario Maker is the highlight of the marathon for my wife and me, so perhaps our expectations were too high.
Was also mildly disappointed by the SMM2 run, but I dunno that it was an “expectations” thing. Didn’t feel like a “race” when the two runners had to co-op through the levels, you know?
Still fun to see 'em laugh, though.
I kinda disagree as it wasn’t a race. What made it interesting was that it was the coop troll levels. We don’t get too many of those. At someone whose watched uncountable hours of that nonsense it was super fun to see something a bit different.
They listed it in the race category and declared a winner at the end too, which muddied the waters a bit more than I’d like.
Still, glad you enjoyed it!
Oh, I didn’t catch that. Yeah it probably should have been categorized differently. Still was a lot of fun though.
Didn’t stream live but watch some run on their yt, so far watched Castlevania SOTN and DS1. I have no idea what the speedrunner is doing in DS1 but i’m amazed by it every second. By the time he finished the game i would’ve only arrived in Undead Burg. SOTN is also amazing.
That intense Balatro run & the Tetris finals were my highlights. Looking forward to AGDQ!
I love that they schedule all the games based on cartoons on Saturday morning. DIG A HOLE!
I missed the live broadcast‽ Oh well. Gunna dive into the vods I guess.
That Tetris sweep my meme was amazing. Both the players placing those blocks so quickly was amazing
Incredible runs on kingdom hearts 2, castlevania and gauntlet! Plenty more in there I’ll be checking out over the coming weeks.
My favorite moment right now is the Castlevania run and the incredible couch cast they had
Only caught the Metroid Dread run live. Pretty cool.
the Mario Maker run was awful yet i still watched it to the end
What was bad about it? Regardless, I’ll probably watch the recorded version…
the runners were funny, but spent quite a lot of time fooling around
Yeah, I was expecting a race and got a Let’s Play and quickly lost interest. Nothing wrong with that, but it wasn’t what I was interested in watching.
