The Bluey run memed so hard. After the run, people were shouting “hooray!” after every significant event in other games, e.g. when collecting shines in Super Mario Sunshine.

The Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Kart 64 runs both had great commentary.

Super Mario 64 Drum% was great. CZR did a 16 star run with a drum kit.

This was my first time seeing Cocoon, and my mind was blown. Orb!

The Super Metroid TAS was awesome.

The Metroid Dread race was nail biting. 2s difference over a 1h50m race.

Go! Go! Hamster Chef. No spoilers. You should watch it.

Edit: add some more stuff above.

The Granny Trilogy run was one of the funniest runs ever done in the event, it is very worth a watch

I only got to watch DK64 live but they were great. The whole couch was in on their jokes and they explained all the wall clip techniques.

I hope to see more Peanut Butter runs

Oooooohhhh BANANA

The Resident Evil 2: Remake no-hit attempt was my favorite run of the event. Carcy brought mad energy and mad skills.

All the other runs mentioned here were great too

Had fun watching the Halo: CE coop, Tunic (my absolute favorite game), BL2, Undertale, and the RE:4 run was really impressive.

Just found out that Cocoon was also included, so I’m watching that now.

Loved this AGDQ!

Granny 1/2/3 (the Granthology) was the best set I saw all week. Speedrunning a horror game can still be scary. The couch was killing it.

Mario 64 Drum% was the best gimmick, even compared to Gyromite Dog%. Though I did get a laugh out of realizing, if Peanut Butter stopped cooperating because he was full, GDQ would have to ban a dog.

Jet Set Radio Future was a good choice for an early run. High-energy, high-speed, broken in some silly-looking ways. Shame about the game’s weird blur effects. The spiritual successor Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was good as well.

30XX is absolute chaos with a suitably motormouth runner. The lead dev calls in and doesn’t get to say much. (Contrast Doom 2016, where Hugo Martin is just casually chatting, and asks about the background noise like ‘are you guys at some kind of party?’)

Halo co-op is good fun. Same tier as Aragami: not a must-watch, but definitely a highlight.

Whiplash is a completely bonkers game, in a way that only 2003 could deliver, and it has glitches and sequence breaks that could make Metroid Prime blush. Unfortunately the final boss drags on for being a gimmicky damage sponge. It’s twenty minutes of nonstop movement ending with six minutes of waiting.

Some absolute maniac attempted a no-damage run of Resident Evil 2 Remake at a live marathon. You should watch it.

Oh man, over already? That was fast!

(… I’ll see myself out.)
