tfw bonesaw is banned

awesome done games quick?

he can still be on couch so there is still hope

im really hoping theres gunna be another jedi knight jedi academy run

Awesome Done Games Quick.... wut ?

Looking forward to the Quake and Halo runs this year

Awesome Done Games Quick is always a blast

i never played this game but the speedruns are still really fun to watch, would recommend

how can he be on the couch?

now I'm even more confused as to why he was banned from running...

Probably the part where he told the biggest stream on twitch to spam Air Canada's twitter
It might have been when he repeatedly made fun of Owen Wilson.
Or it could've been him dropping the f bomb 3 or 4 times on stream.
It's a shame too. Late night streams are always the best. It's a little disappointing that the most popular runner at the event would get banned from the next one.

halo 2 :D

Yessssssssss Halo 2 runs are crazy

I went back after seeing this to go watch the Jack and Daxter run b/c i missed it
I've cried thrice and cant stop laughing

Naruto and Pikachu: The Search For Owen Wilson's Keys is 11/10 now my new favorite anime

was bonesaw the guy that did the late night jak and daxter run?

that shit was funny as fuck, why would they ban him? just let him do another late night stream and rake in views and donations, his shtick is incredible

b/c the GDQ staff hate fun
apperently dropping 3 f bombs (on accident mind you) at 2AM and making fun of owen wilson's poor nose (waow!) is too much

why cant this be pre 2014 GDQ rules ;-;

also yea bonesaw was the runner

Edit: also that moment when Bonesaw had arguably undeniably the best run of the marathon and gets banned but Kythol literally wasted $5000 of people's incentive money including a single 1K donation but didnt get barred from submitting

agdq is about the money in mike uyama's pockets

the thing is though that that portion of the stream actually raked in a solid $17 thousand at 2AM. It's not about money, it's about being kid appropriate at 2AM in the same event the Silent Hill games are run

smh

finally a gen 3 pokemon game this gdq :)

Looking forward to Doom, Salt and Sanctuary, Dark Souls 3, and Furi. Fingers crossed though since most of the games I look forward to the runner is really monotone and I eventually just mute them and listen to music while I watch which has been the case for like the past two years.

Is sigmasin going to be playing Ori if reverse event order wins the bid, or just couching, or how's that going to work? He's listed as one of the two runners on a one-player game :B

I cant stand how the event is run nowdays. The lack of freedom and the forced professionalism turned me off the last two. That and PCF is an absolute shit tier charity, much prefer MSF and what they seek to accomplish.

Is ESA still chill or is it going the way of agdq as well?

Went from one of the few normal guys @ AGDQ to being one of the worst weebs. Why banned though?

cuz his run was enjoyable

I'm not 100% confirmed yet, but there's a pretty good chance I'll be there again this year. If any TFTV people make it out, let me know so I can say hello!

It probably means it'll be a 2-way race then. People that are doing couch commentary aren't listed on the schedule.

Also: While the event itself has had it's fair share of scrutiny over the years due to the whole financial thing; it's really the only time that speedrunners from all sorts of different game communities have the opportunity to meet up and spend time together. Think of it as like the speedrunning community's GXL LAN. While there's also ESA, the GDQs consistently have the highest/largest attendance of any speedrunning event and in most situations if you want to meet up with friends in an event setting as far as speedrunning is concerned, this is really the only time you get to do it. There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes (casual room, board game room, practice room, free play arcade, free play pinball machines, off-stream speedrun races, room parties, etc) that make the events more than worth it to attend every year if you're a part of the community.

I'm not trying to defend some of the shady stuff the organization has done (especially considering I got screwed by them with registration a year ago), but I feel a lot of the stuff in that video is very misleading. The few times I did commentary, I wasn't told anything by the staff directly and was just given the simple guideline of "being civil". Saying the event is "sterilized" because runners aren't able to show "their true personality" just seems like people firing shots at the organization for wanting to keep the commentary on their runs relatively clean. I understand that that's not everyone's style, but if you can't show your personality without filling your commentary with swears, I dunno what to tell you. \o/

I wanted to run that game at a GDQ but not gonna happen now. I got to run it ASM 2015 though :DDD first time at a marathon, though no vods to prove it sadly :<
