Was browsing UA-cam and randomly caught this video, saw I was featured in here and was very surprised and honored. Glad I could help add some fun to GDQ from the SMW community!
god this stuff is always so emotional to me and I honestly wish I knew why, just seeing a room filled with heartwarming people and more just beyond the screen is so touching. its nice to know the world isn't all bad and that we can still come together for the fun times.
Blindfold speedrun are so mad. The amount of time behind knowing the game that well 😱 could probably get a masters degree in the same time. Edit* Sekiro blindfolded WHAT!?!?
Sekiro has amazing audio and combat has a rhythm to it (I’ve even closed my eyes to counter some attacks because the visuals animations would fake me out). How tf do you navigate Mario 64 when it’s just music, foot scurrying, and “woohoo”s.
@@XShadowWolf1926 lol, fairpoint. But Mario is far more forgiving. A slip up in Sekiro is game over for speedrunning, maybe not so in Mario? Don't know, good point.
@Boco Corwin yup, that intimacy is lost where you could see nearly everyone in the room. Those rooms used felt that they could only fit 50 people. I wish they would move some of the crowd closer to replicate that feel.
@@mappybc6097 That's the HappyHob if I'm not mistaken. He beat all the current Souls Game called the "God Run 2" where he finished DS1,2,3, Demon Souls, Sekiro, and Bloodborne in one sitting without getting hit. He has to restart all over again if he got hit once, and boy he got hit so many times he had to restart from scratch.
My favourite runs in AGDQ are the long run RPGS. They're just so comfy to sit and watch and the commentators are normally great. I agreed with some of these videos but also felt there was too much of a focus on newer AGDQs that it kind of felt like an ad more than anything else.
Hey there zeus toast, is a super entertaining and humble dude. Great speedrunner, also that kaizo mod of mario is beyond difficult. Takes a lot of precise timing and movements. That dude was real good.
Fun video, but the number of times y'all say "this year's AGDQ 2022" or "the most recent AGDQ 2022" is so distracting and so funny to hear coming from a major games journalism outlet
Or you could look at the bright side. Like it or not the site has literal millions of subscribers, many of which might have not even heard of AGDQ before. If this pushes more people to watch, and perhaps donate, to the sponsored charities then I don't mind if GameSpot makes money doing it.
sekiro speedrun was a massive scam, how convenient that it was done with the guy sat at home on his own and not in front of a live audience. Just watch the speedrun, he never stops looking forward at his screen, it's amazing how people think this was genuine
Bruh, it is doable when one of the announcers, LilAggy, have actually done it with a blindfold, screens turned off and cameras recording everything. He patterned his run from Mitchriz and that was why he tried it. LilAggy have done some many outrageous Sekiro runs where he beat the game on a dance pad and a drum set.
The staff gets paid a flat rate by PCF before the event because this is literally their full-time jobs. I can’t find the financials for AGDQ 2022, but PCF spent $260k on AGDQ 2017 and $145k went to the staff of 31 organizers. This controversy was settled years ago.
I see pronouns in something that doesn't require them in the slightest = downvote and unsubscribe. Good job speedrunners I guess, unsubscribed regardless. Not going along with that insane identity politics. Especially in situations where it is redundant. Thanks for politicizing gaming. Nutjobs.

Saw your run on live stream, wp dude!
Pretty good run for 6am lol. Im glad i caught it live.
I missed the live, but the VOD was no less great. Nice run!
Thank you for this incredible run - it was honestly one of my favorite things out of this year’s GDQ!
For his Blindfolded Sekiro run Mitchriz has been officially awarded with the Got Gud badge
i really appreciate the context before the clips!
The Sekiro blindfolded run was the stuff of legends.
fake, how convenient this was done with his sat alone at home
@@fwef7445 it's so easy to discredit someone without any real evidence of foul play these days, right?
@@SuperKendoman I think its time to not only record gameplay but to also record controllers/keyboards inputs also
This is long overdue. And that Sekiro blind folded run hurts.

I love GDQ so much.
Blindfold speedrun are so mad. The amount of time behind knowing the game that well 😱 could probably get a masters degree in the same time.
Edit* Sekiro blindfolded WHAT!?!?
Yep, sekiro blindfolded and let me tell you, it was an amazing run, definitely worth the watch.
Sekiro has amazing audio and combat has a rhythm to it (I’ve even closed my eyes to counter some attacks because the visuals animations would fake me out). How tf do you navigate Mario 64 when it’s just music, foot scurrying, and “woohoo”s.

I couldn't believe the Sekiro one.. like there's no way! Lol
Beautiful video! Thank you a lot for creating this summary and honoring this awesome initiative GDQ❤
deserved it takes two run :D got me into the community, and they're some of the most genuinely welcoming folks ive ever met
Man the first GDQ in person after these years away is gonna be epic to see.
Man, I miss the old GDQs which were done in a room with audiences.
Someday they'll be back to it. Everyone associated with the event wants it to be in person as much as all the viewers do.
Me too, but we should at least be glad this event CAN be done online only when many other venues can't.
The hype was always off the charts
@Boco Corwin yup, that intimacy is lost where you could see nearly everyone in the room. Those rooms used felt that they could only fit 50 people. I wish they would move some of the crowd closer to replicate that feel.
I refuse to believe that someone BEAT SEKIRO BLINDFOLDED WHAT??
I said the same thing when l found someone had beaten Dark Souls 1-3, back to back, without getting hit once.

Honestly you guys doing these speedruns are incredible, nobody ever sees the dedication and hours behind the scenes

agreed.
it takes two was almost perfect , they got the out of bounds glitches right away

lol I love how replicas is playing throughout the casio mario section
Shoutout to Bytez and Hyper on the incredible It Takes Two run!!
Best moment: filibustering to meet the last couple incentives :D
people beat the game with BLINDFOLD??? you guys are amazing! SEKIRO BLINDFOLDED??? GOD
0:08 oh hey it's my footage
edit: ah I got credit later at 24:42, that's better
Bonesaw577's run of Jack and Daxter would still be one of the funniest run you'll ever watch.
It's nice when the money actually goes to charity and not the event organizer's pockets
HYPE!
8:33 What is that piano piece in the background please ?
Gwyn, Lord of Cinder - Dark Souls Soundtrack
Me reading donations in a GameSpot video? CHECK!
I would like the blindfolded ones to be with the back to the screen
Speedrunning is one word :)
dont praise GDQ please, this whole event is corporate.. the person who invented GDQ is banned from his own creation and why? you guessed it, MONEY.
Fun video, but the number of times y'all say "this year's AGDQ 2022" or "the most recent AGDQ 2022" is so distracting and so funny to hear coming from a major games journalism outlet
Was that Keiz at 24:43? lol
mario 64 120 stars was done blindfold also
GDQ is always equal parts cool and why do I even bother playing games, I should stick to anime.
Is that Dave control?
I dont care mitchriz sekiro run is the god run it will NEVER be topped
“Gamespot discovers GDQ; makes a video about it” haha nah jk, but this last AGDQ was a crazy milestone over 3m for charity!
Anyone remember YSG (yellow shirt guy)
Bubzia also uses things such as Normalization and Beat counting 🤓
The bot lol
it's "Speedrunning", thanks
Ignoring the shady things GDQ does…. Yike
How is Bonesaw's Jak and Daxter not on this list. GDQ had to have paid for this.
I guess if no one is going to say it... Neeeeeerds! Jk I've played about 1200 hours of games last year
:)
Gamespot finally milking GDQ LOL. Got to love channels like this making awful videos of other peoples content and getting money for it!

Well, how do you propose he did it then

not every donation, the founder of GDQ gets a really nice kickback from PCF

Every donation doesn't go to a good cause. GDQ is awful, the runners though are saints and make the show.
communism done quick: pronouns edition
No
ok
Yes
I had to stop watching the Gender Dysphoria Quest.
I see pronouns in something that doesn't require them in the slightest = downvote and unsubscribe. Good job speedrunners I guess, unsubscribed regardless. Not going along with that insane identity politics. Especially in situations where it is redundant. Thanks for politicizing gaming. Nutjobs.
Well if It doesn't matter why does it bother you then?
I didn't care to watch the full video. What got pronoun-ised here?
Read the Bible i care about you❤️ Jesus loves you repent before it’s too late -john 3:16
