It's AGDQ time again, and I suspect I'm not going to be getting a whole lot done this coming week.

I love watching these and seeing all the hard work these guys put into their games, but I must admit I enjoy watching the nerdy awkwardness more than I probably should. Here's a classic moment from last summer. You can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.

The MM5GB race was delightfully awkward as well.

Last night's tasbot was excellent. I hope they release a save state for the SMW one, or at least the script.

Not really. He's just saying what people are thinking. Other dude's annoying as hell.

The Dark Forces II run is amazing. Shit gets so fast with Force Speed and the guy goes around acing all(well, most of) those jumps
Pokémon Plays Twitch along with all the TASBot shenanigans were amusing as hell too.

The I Wanna Be The Boshy speedrun was so incredible.

I think as an in-joke between them, since Werster said he'd be giving him shit during the run.
The Sonic 3 & Knuckles run was really good. Loads of good technical information from the couch, and a really high level of execution from the player. Love watching some crazy screenwrap glitching.

I missed the Silent Hill run, anyone seen it? SH speedruns were damn boring years ago, so I wonder if they found some glitches to show off for the marathon.

Udderdude · Post by **Udderdude** » Wed Jan 07, 2015 8:25 pm

Lots of good runs this year. I have to watch half of them on the archive, but that's ok ..

Shout outs to KevinDDR, Kitaru, colour_thief and Qlex for that godlike TGM block. Hypest thing ever.

CStarFlare · Post by **CStarFlare** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 3:41 am

I've seen plenty of TGA replays, but that was the first time I've watched someone play and wish I had a board in front of me right now.

Great playing, guys.

beatsgo · Post by **beatsgo** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 5:36 am

TGM block so far is the biggest highlight for this year AGDQ. So good to see the TGM crew mostly living up to expectations and beyond.

And shoutouts to F-man for the donation shoutout.

It seems as though with the TASbot and Tetris blocks that they are doing demonstrations now and not just strictly speedruns. Would love to see someone 1cc something like mushi or ketsui there live.

KennyMan666 · Post by **KennyMan666** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 1:38 pm

There was a Lylat Wars (okay, whatever, Star Fox 64) score play some GDQs back, far better for that game than a speedrun. So, yeah.

ESA is also doing some stuff like that, Plasmo was at one point going to do Ikaruga there but in the end I guess he couldn't come or something.

Udderdude · Post by **Udderdude** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 2:00 pm

Yeah, it would be cool to see more exhibitions to break things up.

CStarFlare · Post by **CStarFlare** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 4:11 pm

Much as I don't want to advocate stealing AGDQ from speedrunners, I've seen enough marathons now that I've seen every game I want to see run several times. More high-level gaming exhibitions are going to be essential to my continued interest.

The increased focus on races this year has made the standards much more interesting, though.

Same for me. I've been "around" since they started at Mike's place and I barely tune in anymore

watched the tetris block last night... awesome.

beatsgo · Post by **beatsgo** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:53 pm

They just have to be careful of not introducing too many exhibition games, but I'm all cool beans seeing games with some sort of speedrunning elements to them (like any of the Caravan games since speed killing is key to obtaining the highest score).

KevinDDR · Post by **KevinDDR** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 11:42 pm

Hopefully we will become good enough at TGM in the future to not be an exhibition game, just a pure speedrun.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 12:14 pm

That run was amazing KevinDDR. Huge props man!
