Summer Games Done Quick has started

[Fry]

Bi-annual speedrunning marathon Games Done Quick has started again. I unapologetically love speedrunning, and the format of having a commentary actually explaining the mechanics behind everything they do makes GDQ the best way to get into watching it. Might even donate this year.

Christ, I just tuned in randomly to see this absolute fuckwit trying out some atrocious patter about 'realgamers' and doing a Fornite dance and my spine shot out of my arse in a reflexive attempt to kill me.

Started off Badly then went downhill after that.

Does games done quick have any rules RE glitch runs? have to say I find glitch heavy speedruns a total bore to watch

[The Boston Crab]

It has both, basically, and there will be different goals for different types of run. I'm with you in that I find a lot of clipping and swimming outside of the map pretty boring but it sometimes surprises me, as well.

[Noodle Lizard]

I too love this, at least partially for the inevitable awkward/cringey content it generates.  Any highlights from this year?

[Bazooka]

Ive only watched the Streets of Rage run so far, Metroid Prime is always a fun watch.

I had a blast watching it - some of the runners are excellent, some of them are just awkward teenagers (the Split/Second guy, for one).
