Awesome Games Done Quick 2017

Post by Myask »

I'm a few days late, as it started Sunday, but…here, editing to this year's links:

Main page.
Also-useful links:
Run schedule.
Donation tracker. (Has subpages of what challenges/bid wars/prizes are available, and a duplicate schedule too)
The reddit thread, usually the first place to find links to the starts of completed runs on the Twitch recordings.

Haven't watched a ton but The Addams Family was good.

Nothing else really stood out.

Always a fan of garbage games played semi-seriously, the Rocky and Bullwinkle speedrun was great with that one guy's laugh. Enjoyed some of the jabs in the interview after.

AwfulGDQ (Batman Forever - Fortified Zone) was fun, as usual. Several records in that block, too.
The day 1 races (Shovel Knight, Megaman, Mario Kart) were great in terms of being close, suspense.

Final Fantasy's back half (I didn't catch the front) is definitely a good watch if you know Final Fantasy.

I enjoy watching just about all of it, though; the commentary is pretty uniformly engaging whether I know the game or not.

Were there any new spectacular glitches or arbitrary code execution this year, as we've seen previously, above all in the Super Mario World and Pokémon categories?

TAS block isn't until Saturday; we're not quite there yet.

There have been some new tricks that were discovered [in the last week, last few days] in various runs, but nothing ACE-level that I've seen.

I just remembered that Ralph 4 was played on the AGDQ channel few months ago as part of their blind race tournament:

The commentary was pretty rad so check it out.

I especially liked the reveal that all 3 ACE'ed consoles was streaming not only the video via SNES but also the audio via the 2 previous NES'es. I would like one day read what custom video format it was.

Asking Dwangoac over at TASvideos would probably be the best way to find out.

In the vein of TASblock AGDQ2017, there's this TAS.

(AGDQ2017 is, of course, over by now.)
