Edit: Watched the VOD of the Sparkster run. I was waiting for them to say they were playing on easy which they said at the end. They didn't mention that easy removes most of the minibosses and many sub stages (it's not possible to get true ending on easy as a result). Still since the game defaults to normal is anyone were to pick it they would be surprised when playing the game and quickly seeing battles not present in the run. Also there were signal problems at the end of each stage?
Shame the interview after had audio issues as I think the guy said the fishing rod controller he was using has 1 second of input lag on the reel.
If you want a short not serious run that still shows some fun is allowed at GDQ events SEGA Bass fishing is worth watching. Though if you want the best part here is a 30 second clip.

They just finished up playing a game I worked on (LBP3) its kinda cool and terrifying seeing someone abuse a game you worked on to finish it in 36 minutes
You should definitely take this as a compliment. You need to have a lot of passion for a game, if you are even bothering to speedrun it
Unfortunately, this run filled up our Fun Quota for a while. We're on a strict No Fun watch for the next two or three days now.

Oh i am. I still work with quite a few of the devs on it and our minds were being blown by some of the skips "how did we miss / not think of that"

That does sound good. I wonder if that will be in any way possible at some time in the future.
For now, they should shut that crap down.

I hear ya. Seeing people play your games or break them down in ways you didn't realize is incredibly cool. I always learn things I never anticipated watching people play my games.

Been watching GDQ since sgdq 2012. Specifically the first run I watched was Poxnor's ff8 run. Love watching rpgs. I get that most people don't but it's disappointing to see FF1 as the only major rpg in agdq. Either way, I look forward to these events ever year and it's off to a great start so far

Dammit, woke up just too late for the MML run. Was it good?

Same! I think I like RPGLimitBreak a bit more in fact, all RPG speedruns and its got the smaller setting that GDQ used to have.

I could not speedrun Katamari because I couldn't stop rolling and exit a level.

I also enjoy them but every year when they are on you get people complaining even here about why they are wasting so many hours on those kind of games.
Also thousand year door is on on Thursday night.
This Katamari run is great. Guy is giving non stop good commentary.

Missed the last 14 hours. Any great runs worth watching?
It was great. The runner, Bluemetal, was very charming and his love for the game was apparent.

The Smash Bros Melee run was definitely a highlight. Make a note to see it if you are watching these later. Fun commentary and some fantastic skill.

Bummed I missed Melee but at least I made it in time for Miles's run and now I can get on GAF. The way he breaks these games is just crazy.

There probably won't be any youtube version before some time, especially if you're looking for the chat.

Wouldn't be GDQ without the "I've never seen the camera do that before" moment.
Edit: A flub at the end there but still a great run by Miles as usual.

Never seen the rotated mod for super metroid so this will all be new to me.

I love Pokken!
Oh god why they rotated the camera as well.

I really want to watch this run later on with the video flipped so the world is the right way up and samus is running up and down walls.

it's a mod to the base game, actually surprised this is allowed but I guess its just the original game rotated with tweaks so it gets a pass.

There have been Mega Man mod speed runs before. It just needs to be clearly marked.

This is crazy. All I can think of to say.
