Did this last year and some people thought it was handy. Made a spreadsheet that I'll be updating with all the run times and YouTube links for individual runs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pFRhHc3hhSzyXcclIABWN10Z6Ol20LzsxOXvjNJ_NoA

I'm really underwhelmed by the game selection. Guess I'll be getting some work done next week.

Always hyped for these. Unfortunately, I'll be missing a lot of it due to work. Hope they raise lots of money!

Always looking forward to AGDQ time. Excited about Ninja Gaiden Pacifist runs and the fact that Undertale is the closer this year.

Not the best game lineup I have seen from a GDQ but more often then not a game will surprise me with new tech.

It's that time of the year again to buy new tees from yetee.

Wish I knew it was back at Dulles again this year before today... I live about 20 minutes away and definitely would have gone if I had been paying attention.

Oh man I remember when they had some Gearbox folks on the phone for Borderlands 2. I haven't rewatched it so I could be misremembering, but it seemed like there was some cringe tension with the players running their mouth's off about how broken the game was and all that. From the outside it came off as incredibly disrespectful and the people on the phone weren't as engaged and vocal for a bit after that.

They had a Metroid Prime dev on to watch a speedrun and he seemed 100% in love with what was happening, but the runner seemed more respectful in that case.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a dev and I overthink it. I'd love to see someone disect and destroy my game, but it seems disrespectful to have a dev take their time out to hang out with you and watch you and you just shit-talk and rip the game apart for being 100% broken.
