I'm so SO excited to see Mystery Dungeon finally make its way to Games Done Quick. Explorers of Sky means the world to me, and having that run on the horizon finally convinced me to finish this piece~

AGDQ was amazing this year as always, and there were so many runs that I absolutely loved, but the one that stuck with me the most was the 2hr 55min Pokemon Yellow completion run, including highlights such as RNG manips to catch a Lv. 6 Nidoran south of Viridian, doing the gyms out of order, skipping the entirety of the Game Corner/Silph Co. Team Rocket arc by just throwing a PokeDoll at the ghost of Cubone's mom, and navigating an unFlashed Rock Tunnel by memory alone. Not to mention facing the Elite Four and Champion with only Nidoking (named A to save frames, but we all know it stands for Airboat) and making it through below the 3hr estimate!

I do not go fast, so I only did one fanart this year. But I had a lot of fun watching, and am grateful for the GDQ team continuing to make their programming accessible virtually.

The end of GDQ always fills me with a weird existential melancholy that I am not capable of processing at three in the morning

I finally, finally, after over five years of watching the videos on YouTube, managed to catch a Games Done Quick event live!

Awesome Games Done Quick has started

AGDQ had planned on having an audience but Desantis wouldn’t let them require masks so it’s all online again

VIOLENTLY stimming over the arrival of AGDQ 2023

As a man of exquisite taste in game glitches, which runs from AGDQ this year are you most looking forward to?

Basically just Celeste and Mega Man: Rock N Roll, as far as better known titles go, though I'll likely pop in on the Breath of the Wild stream at some point to see what absolute horseshit the BotW community has come up with in the past few months – I confess I haven't been keeping up with it lately. As for shorter and lesser-known runs, ElecHead caught my eye, and I'm keen to see how Unsighted has evolved since its showing at Flame Fatales last August. The Katana Zero TAS exhibition might be good for a laugh, too.

Oh, and the obligatory Metroid race, of course. I see they're racing Metroid Dread All Bosses Glitchless this year, which isn't a category that I've followed before, so it'll be fun to see what that looks like.

(I might have wanted to catch the Metroid Prime co-op randomizer exhibition also, but I'm working that day and it's at an awkward time for me. I'll probably look it up on YouTube after the event is over, though.)
