Hat in Time looks very charming. I wish I liked 3d platformers of this type but it looks like a good one

This entire week will be like enthusiastic #gamerposting from me along with the standard wry commentary on current events. I contain multitudes.

I've been watching the GDQs for like... a long long time now. I don't remember which one was the first I saw. 2012? 2013? something like that?

It straight up made me a better game designer because you learn a whole lot about how things are put together (because people break them) and what people intuitively/unintuitively do (because people break whatever you try to make)

i would not like to speedrun a game in front of an audience naming my strategies and judging my performance. you can keep that for yourself sir

PJ running Mega Man 7, a mediocre Mega Man game. PJ did one of my favorite runs ever, also of a very mediocre game, Lagoon. (run starts a little after the 8 minute mark)

perils of having a screenname straight through from childhood

Mario 3 is what I usually play during meetings especially over the past year so all of these locations just remind me of talking about work stuff

Fun Fact: the Game Boy was released 50 years ago

Speedruns using a wiimote in full on waggle mode are hilarious

this waggle saves 2-3 seconds. it's a frame perfect waggle.

this waggle was discovered by EponaLetsRollAway, who actually discovered a lot of the coolest waggles. shout out to Epona

the children on the couch at GDQ are lamenting growing old

it's ok kids

honk.

HATE it when I have a crisis involving dinosaurs

Dinosaur Crisis

"Dinosaur Crisis" is a strong name

CRISIS
OF THE DINOSAURS

mid-dino crisis

i haven't played dino crisis beyond renting it once in like 2000 or something but i keep hoping they bring it back because someone at some point thought hey you know what? resident evil but jurassic park.

there aren't that many good dinosaur games. get on it, games industry. #lazydevs

the tyrannosaur in this game has like a 15 foot vertical leap and i realize i've never pictured a trex jumping

dino crisis 2 committing to the tank controls by featuring an actual tank section

Tonight on GDQ there are DOOM and doomlike runs. Those are fun.

DO_OM

i streamed all of Doom 2016 when it came out. i used to stream games. that was a thing i did.

DoOoOoOoOoM

god DOOM 2016 was a fun game

gdq is basically the only kind of LOL EPIC BACON YOU WIN THE INTERNET SIR type culture i can handle in 2020

it's a time capsule

the funniest thing about DOOM is that there's like novels and comic books and like literature fleshing out the world and characters of DOOM

i haven't read them but i hear they get pretty wild

DOOM

are there people doing like calisthenics between games on the gdq cam

is that what is happening

live your best lives, gdq dancers

every gdq there's some runner who will be like lol trigger warning for snowflakes on this no safe spaces run while playing Spyro the Dragon Goes To Snuggletown or something

BAYO

today on GDQ there's a bunch of fun stuff but mostly a Zelda series relay at 11pm that i'm very hype for

the game Chippy that's currently being run is pretty cool

big fan of the chubby frog in Crowtel Renovations

big fan of Crowtel Renovations in general now

i don't know anything about the pokemon games aside from snap

all of my pokemon knowledge is the original tv show, pokemon snap, and whatever you all have been going on about in the decades since

i forgot how everything in terraria is very very small

squinting at the tv

without a couch cam the runners for GDQ just look like people rambling to themselves in an empty room

i have never in my life had as much energy as the guy running terraria right now

and i'm a manic depressive

running games that are so dependent on rng must be extremely frustrating

i so want this man to succeed and then take a long nap

dear lord help this man playing terraria

all power to the man wrestling terraria in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators

"i'm not even doing a speedrun at this point!"

GIVE BADGER A HUG
AND A COOL DARK SPACE

send badger to the gdq chillout tent

Chillout Tent by The Hold Steady but it's about Badger at GDQ after that run

this zelda relay is all going to be like honed reflexes and well-charted routes and after that terraria run it's going to be missing the element of real human danger

zelder

this zelda relay: it's good

oh god i feel bad for this guy

zelda is hard!

"next they'll be getting the jump spell. jump spell allows them to jump really high"

i had gone to get a drink when they switched players. was there some sort of failsafe in case some team couldn't complete a game?

because that would be a good idea

laying awake later worrying about the well being of the gdq runners

i like how when link in zelda 2 uses the fairy spell he gets the little crown too, like link gets to feel all fancy for a few seconds today

this zelda race is brutal D:

zelda, they're good games. few talk about this

you folks hear of zelda

when my power is sealed away in a dark world, buddy i'm not pleased

the zelda race was fun. i hope everyone had a good time. i hope they all go to dairy queen now.

Final Fantasy 8: a game

i was never a huge FF8 fan. some cool moments though

O CA RI NA

*smashing pumpkins voice*
ocarina,
oooocaaaaariiiiiinaaaaaaaa

so there's an Ocarina run, a Cadence of Hyrule Run, a Mega Man 4-6 relay, then the awful block coming up tonight. that is a stacked lineup

LATE-BREAKING GLITCH

i should mention the thing i'm rambling about tonight is twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

i now associate Ocarina with glitches and speedruns way more than my experiences playing through it as a normal game

the extremely fast backwards walking in ocarina runs is never not funny to me

i refuse to believe these ocarnia strats are real things people discovered and now have down to a science

this is all fake

ocarina fucked up textures any%

lol love to beat the game on command

Trump's doing a glitch exhibition- on the freaking government!!!

Drumpf's doing a speed run- of freaking impeachment!!!

Drumpf despawned his skin and loaded freaking ORANGE TEXTURES😂😂😂😂

"Arbitrary Code Execution"

i am going to be up so late watching gdq tonight

Cadence of Hyrule is really cool.

i'm famously meh on a lot of nintendo stuff but necrodancer is such a great base for this.

Souls Series necrodancer game

this post-run chatter from the runners is the sweetest thing ever. good dudes.

let the animorphs guy animorph

woooooooooo megamans

the latter nes megamans get a bad rap but 5 secretly has the best intro and some of the best stage music in the entire series

giant robot hippo, because

*clown man voice*
i'm clown man

seriously excellent music in 5. gravity man has this great solo in the middle, gyroman is extremely pleasant, napalm man is awesome, etc etc

gravity man's music is just weird and great all around

donate for animorphs you cowards

#backupdog

mega man 6 was where i feel like it started to get cluttered with mechanics. that's my take. on mega man 6.

they'd been adding things in earnest since 3 but there's just a lot going on by this point

Culturally Insensitive Man

Bernard Sanders, is the real mega man

A NI MORPHS

that was a great relay. i love these.

animorphs revenge run

this game was such a train wreck a few years ago and i am very much looking forward to seeing this either go much better or, alternately, just as badly

i know nothing about actual animorphs other than the covers are funny. is there more to this children's series than the covers

i had to switch to a smaller screen to watch this because the flashing on the big screen was like getting my picture taken over and over again

eras of kids books move so fast. i was like 6 months too late for goosebumps and a year to late for animorphs. i was reading like My Teacher In An Alien which likewise got very heavy

this run is going roughly 300% better than the first one thus far

dog op imo

that dog mauled the shit out of that dolphin

that dog mauled the shit out of that bear

that dog mauled the shit out of that wolf

https://twitter.com/bombsfall/status/1215188797186547712

i donated for that run, it was worth it

when this goes up on youtube in the next few days it's well worth it to look up the old animorphs gdq run and then watch this one

ok i'm going to bed.

dog.
dog.
