La-Mulana run

demidar · Jun 18, 2014

Aww yiss.

Looks like FF6 is gonna be the show closer.

Helmholtz · Jun 18, 2014

Looking forward to this. I enjoyed casually watching the AGDQ stream last time around, and have caught some of the previous SGDQs as well.
I haven't even played 99% of the games they run, but I find the atmosphere and the skill involved oddly fun to watch.

METAL WOLF CHAOS HYPE!

King Beyond the wall · Jun 18, 2014

Excellent, looking forward to this, but no Cosmo ?

Burnburn · Jun 18, 2014

But, the question on everyone's mind is: will Blueglass be there?

Time to destroy my sleep schedule again

Doesn't look like he's playing anything, but he might be in the audience again.

Guest12345678 · Jun 18, 2014

Im playing through oracle of ages right now so i'm going to have to finish it before the 26th.

Tohsaka · Jun 18, 2014

Looking forward to this, AGDQ was great. I need to play through Outlast so I can watch the run of it.

toddhunter · Jun 18, 2014

Glad to see a Boshy run and System Shock 2 should be fun to watch?

Looking forward to it.

G-Fex · Jun 18, 2014

Excited for Cirno, Peaches, Dime, Cubeface.

Those games are going to be a treat to watch.

Codiox · Jun 18, 2014

We need blueglass!!!

Velcro Fly · Jun 18, 2014

Get hyped for Checkers doing Mega Man 3.

Jucksalbe · Jun 18, 2014

Looking forward to it. Some interesting games on that schedule (e.g, Monty on the Run and The Lost Vikings), but I have to skip that first game, I haven't played Mario 3D World yet.

Edit: And I am sad that the Mega Man games are in the middle of the night. I guess I won't watch them live.

devonodev · Jun 18, 2014

Will be watching!

Quadraxis · Jun 18, 2014

Interested in the A Link Between Worlds. That game has lotsa routes to take so i'm curious what they go for.

Seraphis Cain · Jun 18, 2014

Holy shit somebody's running Kickmaster! YES!

demidar · Jun 18, 2014

pj is doing Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts again. Gonna try and tune in to that.

Was he the laughing hyena that destroyed my speakers?

Looking forward to watching Super GnG again.

Palanor · Jun 18, 2014

Awesome. Hadn't heard anything about SGDQ, so was worried there wasn't going to be one.

ShironRedshift · Jun 18, 2014

Can't believe this is so close already--can't wait. ^_^

He's on there--he's running Castlevania 64 this year.

Not only that, but Ocarina of Time is a bonus donation incentive game, which Cosmo will in all likelihood end up running.

Flying out this Saturday.

AWWWW SHIEEET!

can't wait

Definitely watching and donating again.

gngf123 · Jun 18, 2014

AGDQ a few months ago was great, I'll definitely be watching this.

Enjoy! I'm actually on that side of the world whilst it's on but I'm nowhere near it

CassSept · Jun 18, 2014

During the week I have most of my finals...

Will watch some of the streams regardless, last AGDQ was the first one I watched and the thing was total hype.

Lord Phol · Jun 18, 2014

Ooo I watched these guys last year for the first time and thought it was great. Most of them seemed like really nice and fun guys, will try to watch as much of this as possible.

Yawnier · Jun 18, 2014

I'll miss most of this live due to work, but last years SGDQ was good so this one should be enjoyable too.

He didn't run a game the last 2 times iirc.

Don't you mean the angel that pleasured your ears? Yes, yes that was him

Tizoc · Jun 18, 2014

Aw man I'm gonna miss the Disney block, hope they'll be put on Youtube though.

BY2K · Jun 18, 2014

A 3-way race of Metroid Fusion!?

EDIT: Link Between Worlds and potentially a Ocarina of Time run? Cosmo?

sinxtanx · Jun 18, 2014

fyi, the Skyward Sword run is going to be nuts

NUTS

As a runner of Zero Mission (and I'm learning Fusion at the moment) I am very much looking forward to this.

Banjo-Kazooie · Jun 18, 2014

Sweet I'll check out the Banjo-Tooie, Bioshock 2, Fallout 3 ones for sure.

Can FALLOUT 3 really be done in 50 minutes?

Gintoki · Jun 18, 2014

Aww yiss. Runs I'm excited to watch:

- Cirno's system shock 2 run
- Witwix's boshy run (Wish Kalemando was at SGDQ)
- TheBirdOfPrey's Dustforce run
- Fucking peaches_ Doom 64 run!

speedpop · Jun 18, 2014

As great as AGDQ is, I still have a far softer spot in the heart for SGDQ because of its off-the-walls approach in game selection - Super Mario 3D World being the first game up followed by JSRF is proof of this mantra.

As usual some excellent game choices in there, some amazing runners pushing the lines, and I'm expecting great moments, maybe a WR or two broken, but overall I am upset at the fact that I could not take a week off to watch it all.

P.S. Expect amazing things during the Super Mario block.

TUSR · Jun 18, 2014

Thanks LordAlu, ill take care of ESA in July.

This and the World Cup on at the same time?

TheChits · Jun 18, 2014

Why do my finals have to be next week? ;_;

djplaeskool · Jun 18, 2014

SGDQ Hyyyyype

Nice line-up this year.
Will be tuned in all week.

TheNamelessOne · Jun 18, 2014

Nice thread man! Was just about to make one but you beat me to it. So much hype!

Linkinito · Jun 18, 2014

This is probably my least anticipated SGDQ: this year has clearly an Nintendoverdose with 80+ games played on Nintendo platforms and 96 hours of marathon estimated time.

To compare, Sony platforms has only 8 games and less than 8 hours.

Poltergust · Jun 18, 2014

Skyward Sword run, huh?

Time for me to finally finish that game. I stopped halfway through (dungeon-wise), so I don't want to get spoiled on it.

Omnicent · Jun 18, 2014

I'd love to take off work for this, but took off for AGDQ 2014 (doing the same for 2015). Like Treehouse from E3 I'm going to have an unproductive week next week =\
