Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Thank you for sharing this. This speedrun is some genuine entertainment.

AGDQ is utterly unwatchable now even as background noise. I don't care for a single femtosecond about the politics or drama of the stream, that's just set dressing for some amusement. But the same donation messages written by a bunch of clueless yobbos being read by possibly the most uncharismatic hosts, the crowd yelling the same word every minute as if it gets any less unfunny with each repetition, and the runners either doing their best impersonation of nails on a chalkboard or staying dead silent with no color commentary, all combined a single unpleasant package, makes it nearly impossible to enjoy in any capacity. It's telling how even genuine fans don't even bother trying to act like it's possible to watch without trying to stab your eardrums out, instead merely excusing it as "not that bad." ZFG not giving the crowd nor the announcer any opportunity to be annoying is almost more cathartic than the very real intrigue from his play.
I'm not joking when I say this, but ZFG and maybe Werster are probably the only two watchable speedrunners left. ZFG has a near biblical knoweldge of OoT and he isn't retarded enough to talk about politics or what not on twitter or on his streams. He just plays Zelda. Nothing more, nothing less.

GDQ was best when it was a small event in some dudes basement. You can't change my mind.
 
It still brings me joy and glee that ZFG's run wasn't ruined by the people screaming HONK and that a total of 5 donations were read during his entire 3 hour speedrun. God bless.
ZFG is literally one of the best speedrun presenters and I wish he got more spotlight in the community over Spurgrun drama or whatever

Since I've never really followed all the weird OoT glitch shit, having ZFG and the folk on the couch doing a reasonable job explaining what's going on during that run and only letting the announcer read donations a few times was great. The only other ones that I can immediately think of that had something similar were a couple of old Castlevania games which were effectively "Do we have to to read some donations?" "Sorry, this is complicated and I need to concentrate so no"


GDQ anymore is something I wait until it's over and then check to see if there were any games I'd like to see, and if the runner wasn't a shithead.
 
Still better than Dream.

Speaking of which, apparently he got doxed.
Damn, what a fucking weak (non)apology. Back peddling to the maximum.
Somehow, he's still lesser of a faggot compared Dream. Is what he's saying true? That he's never submitted a run? If so, he's far better than Dream and at least he has a thread to hang onto.
 
During the Skyrim speedrun today there was much twitchchatsperging about how rayciss Ulfric Stormcloak and the Nords are. Which of course brought up how rayciss the Thalmor are. Followed by much 'I had to switch to an earlier save and choose the Imperials rayciss Stormcloaks bad me gud boi.' One of the commentators felt obligated to apologize for saying that the Stormcloaks are only "vaguely racist." 5 glorious minutes of pure retardation

Ulfric Stormcloak can't be racist, he's just "punching up". The Elves literally waged war on his people, they won, and fucked with their religion. He doesn't just dislike them for no previously explored reason.

This the right thread for GDQ? How fuckin' troony are they this year? I've been busy with an actual job. How are they justifying keeping a huge shitload of the money they get this year since it's all online?
