I'm still baffled how you all are playing through these games that I grew up with, and finishing in record time that no one else would even dream of....... I SALUTE YOU ALL .
yeah there was a halo game, you can watch one here : ua-cam.com/video/WI6scPDJCVs/v-deo.html So many games were destroyed it's hard to keep track, awesome event as usual.
26:38 - The bridge scene. I remember when I was a kid I wanted to see what happened if you shoot the Ridley statue from behind. I can confirm that you do get stuck.
I believe he meant deathless as in deaths that help him warp to other areas, that first death sent him back progress wise so I think that's why, also I don't think AGDQ does resets? Not sure
GDQ does not do resets unless something goes horribly wrong very very early. I think I've only seen one real reset in the 4 years I've seen. Most the time the runners have to power through it or use a premade save they made in case of crashes
Yeah I think that's correct. I have seen a reset in Castlevania 2 once because he softlocked the game during a shortcut, it was 10 minutes into the run and there's no way out of it, but yes I think GDQ doesn't do resets unless required. And it sounded from the commentators like "deathless" was a simplified way to label this category, they said technically it's "warpless" but idk the details.
Same, but I wasn't walking through walls (cheating), & I bet you weren't either. ;) I also didn't have hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump. :/
They should have just called it "no deathwarp," if they were worried the other things looked like warps. That's better than "deathless," since it was always possible the runner would die.
Damn, when I was playing this game on my Nintendo in like 1986, why didn't I have a room full of hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump? :/
I played hundreds of hours of super Metroid... Not until watching this video just now did i realize it was a remake.. always thought it was a part 2 with certain throwback rooms
qvistus82 That's arguable. It's more in line with how after making a very different second game Nintendo went back to square one for the third (see Zelda, Fire Emblem). And then they made an actual remake in 2004
A great way to revisit this game. You get the gist of it quickly and to be honest it's just too archaic for me to play anymore. I don't want to spend 10 minutes filling up health tanks every time I die.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Jason Biggs It also takes a high level of intelligence to understand comedic timing (or comedy in general), and repeating the same thing over and over shows a lack of comedic intelligence. You don't need a high level of intelligence to understand references... just because you watched Zardoz once doesn't make you a smart critical thinker as the guy who keeps repeating the same joke demonstrates.

Your audio levels are wonky, I spent half of the Dragon Warrior block trying to figure out why my volume had to be all the way up to hear, then this block started and blew my damn headphones out
yeah!! i glad i grew up with this epic classic in my NES i did a roleplay series playthrough of Samus Aran on Mass Effect A some people may enjoy it :)
Ian van Ingen it'll never happen. nintendo's robot lawyers that shoot bees out of their mouths would be sicced on the charity event and force them out of buisness. For the record, it disgusts me, AM2R was a much better remake of RoS than Samus Returns, and it deserves the light of day.
TheSVSexton I know, and i completely agree that samus returns is garbage shit compared to AM2R. But we had Super Metroid rotation hack and technicaly nintendo could just as easily take the event down for that.
Ian van Ingen I honestly think they're butt hurt that a group of dedicated fans outperformed them. It kind of reminds me of Miyamoto shitting on the donkey kong country trilogy because of its "graphics". It's obvious he was just bitter that they improved on every element he'd designed to that point in nearly every way.
TheSVSexton That's so true, i think if they'd hire DoctorM64s team and let them make 3DS port for AM2R nobody would have even noticed that is was made by an amateur developer team.
Ian van Ingen It's not the same, but some good did come from this. I believe the media exposure helped get DrM64 hired on to help develop the new Ori game in the works, so at least he has a bright future ahead of him with even bigger and better things to come.
David Baird that's not what was introduced by commentator. So NOT deathless in my book either. Maybe a mistake but that's what was said and I saw him die!
Dev n No he's definitely referring to Rick and Morty. The runners name is a reference to Marty from back to the future and Morty is also a reference to Marty. The "my man" being repeated is in reference to one of the episodes (its also obvious by how he says it). Either way though, its fucking obnoxious.
WE GET IT HE'S YOUR MAN
I don't think you get it
I thought I was watching Rick and Morty in the background.
i dunno. i have to watch it again now? xD
my man B|
Craig Adams dude chill
Man it's gotta be hard to pull off these tricks live in a room full of people while you have experts talking about how hard the next trick is
For real!
I'm still baffled how you all are playing through these games that I grew up with, and finishing in record time that no one else would even dream of....... I SALUTE YOU ALL .
M Y M A N
Mr. Goldenfold, chilling in the audience.
What I was thinking! Hahahahaha
I ADORE the guy who is commentating in this run. That guy does a FANTASTIC job no matter what the game is.
Blechy rocks. He's been with GDQ since the beginning. A lot of runners know all the tech, Blechy knows the tech and knows how to make it interesting.
Apart from saying it was a deathless run. Lol
ThePogger80 deathless means they don't abuse a death mechanic that let's you warp forward a bit
Most of the videos I've seen from this year have had fantastic commentary, esp the Halo 4 one.
yeah there was a halo game, you can watch one here : ua-cam.com/video/WI6scPDJCVs/v-deo.html
So many games were destroyed it's hard to keep track, awesome event as usual.
This guy is nuts at NES Metroid! Good job, metroidmcfly! keep it up!
SO glad to see this game return to AGDQ! I was a kid in the 80s and this game was like the present and the future Maru Mari’d into one!
26:38 - The bridge scene. I remember when I was a kid I wanted to see what happened if you shoot the Ridley statue from behind. I can confirm that you do get stuck.
My man! Seeing this live was such a trip! Miss all you guys, what a legendary run!
I appreciate that the runner is taking time to say thanks to (nearly) every donation. Shows class.
LOVED watching this run. McFly is a Metroid god. And of course, Blechy and Dragondarch are the best commentators ever.
Such a classic game! I still own the NES cart and play it every now and then.
I believe he meant deathless as in deaths that help him warp to other areas, that first death sent him back progress wise so I think that's why, also I don't think AGDQ does resets? Not sure
GDQ does not do resets unless something goes horribly wrong very very early. I think I've only seen one real reset in the 4 years I've seen. Most the time the runners have to power through it or use a premade save they made in case of crashes
Yeah I saw that happen in the Castlevania SotN run where he loaded from his medusa save, thanks
Yeah I think that's correct. I have seen a reset in Castlevania 2 once because he softlocked the game during a shortcut, it was 10 minutes into the run and there's no way out of it, but yes I think GDQ doesn't do resets unless required. And it sounded from the commentators like "deathless" was a simplified way to label this category, they said technically it's "warpless" but idk the details.
AGDQ puts an emphasis on runs and commenters being entertaining, so, things aren't going be super strict.
Keizaron's reset in Animorphs in AGDQ 2016 was amazing, if you haven't seen it, you need to. Everything goes horribly wrong in the most amazing way.
My favorite commentator was Jason Momoa's Aquaman.
My man My man My man My man … does this guy think he is Aquaman or something? lol
Rick and Morty.
Yes.
My man!
Ride ain't over yet!
That was AWESOME! love me some metroids speed runs!
Took me 20 days to beat this game as a kid......and this guy did it in 20 min
Same, but I wasn't walking through walls (cheating), & I bet you weren't either. ;)
I also didn't have hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump. :/
Hey McFly, say hi to your Mother Brain for me.
best comment
Biff
Got this game for Christmas when I was in the 2nd grade. I had no idea what I was doing back then.
Still haven't beaten it.
16:40 Loves these rooms in classic Metroid. Play that room's music on the way to opening Christmas gifts.
Somehow, I missed this! Nice job McFly! Congrats!
31:05 Some in the crowd are waving back :)
MY MAN! first i thought it was annoying, then i smoked a bowl and thought it was great... My Man!
Excellent commentary
These are the greatest thing ever
This game is really something.
The runner has something of a southern charm to him.
They should have just called it "no deathwarp," if they were worried the other things looked like warps. That's better than "deathless," since it was always possible the runner would die.
Such a great run...
Damn, when I was playing this game on my Nintendo in like 1986, why didn't I have a room full of hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump? :/
Wait, wait, wait... hold up, Metroid is a girl???
Nah, it's
MY WOMAN
And tasty!
I think Metroid is a pretty cool dude. He has a vagina and doesn't afraid of anything.
Andrew Turner wtf mate
"Metroid is a space man. He has a gun for an arm. He can turn into a circle" - Run Button
Somewhere, a Twin Galaxies judge is watching those door glitches and crying.
Nice run! And the runner does look like a McFly
Such a great game
Great run!
My man guy got annoying though... Once is cool. A callback is fun. But something like a dozen times in a 30 minute run es no bueno.
Mah man!
His my man is on point
Killer run.
1st NES game I ever beat!
That was pretty sick.
great job
Where is blueglass? I miss his laugh...🤣
That makes 1 of us :)
I really do love the guy though, hope he's doing alright.
I miss his Ecco runs :(
McFly!! MCFLYYYYYYYY!!!!
It only took me about three years to beat this game the first time..
The guy on the left looks like he's holding his eyes closed as tight as he can.
I played hundreds of hours of super Metroid... Not until watching this video just now did i realize it was a remake.. always thought it was a part 2 with certain throwback rooms
Krocodockle It's a sequel, with Return of Samus in between
qvistus82 That's arguable. It's more in line with how after making a very different second game Nintendo went back to square one for the third (see Zelda, Fire Emblem). And then they made an actual remake in 2004
a remake would be on the GBA.
Commentator was great
warpless != wrapless
MY MAN!!!!!!
go to about 7:00 and compare the two release dates….
Looking for a run with original sprite (helmeted Samus).
All couch commentaries should be like this!
MY MAN
7:45
My man was funny the first time... but it got obnoxious really fast
Oh wow proton jon donated
So it's possible to change the outfit depending on the password.
The only thing i dont like about this game is, it doesnt have a map function. Still a great game.
Ahh yes, the famous code that makes Mario run around in his boxers.
A great way to revisit this game. You get the gist of it quickly and to be honest it's just too archaic for me to play anymore. I don't want to spend 10 minutes filling up health tanks every time I die.
The ' my man' thing was old last decade...
Was that off screen to his home planet thing a Simpsons poochy reference?
That was legit
I clenched so hard when he had 2 energy left. My man!
comedy is constantly making lame rick and morty references
Justin Clitheroe Basically the Uganda knuckles meme

MY MANN
Your audio levels are wonky, I spent half of the Dragon Warrior block trying to figure out why my volume had to be all the way up to hear, then this block started and blew my damn headphones out
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely coated in uninterrupted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
Say "My Man" again! I dare you, I double dare you!
My man!
How do choose whether to fire a missile or the normal shot, when the NES only had two buttons (A+B)?
Select
my man
Damn, when I first played this game, this guys parents weren't even together yet...
10 yr old me feels like a freak’n moron.... wait... so does 37 yr old me :/
Metroid My Man Mick Fly
I swear to god if I hear "my man" one more time......
I just stopped in to listen to the music.
Oof this game is harsh.
It's geemer not g'eemer
How did you get 75 missiles?
Kraid and Ridley both give 75 missiles.
It's impossibly hard to screenwrap and damage boost into Kraid's room with zero missiles...
Not exactly "deathless" though, was it?
yeah!!
i glad i grew up with this epic classic in my NES
i did a roleplay series playthrough of Samus Aran on Mass Effect A
some people may enjoy it
:)
Girl in the front can get it.
Amazing
IS THIS A VIDEO GAME ?
Is this a caulk block ?
*When is AM2R coming to gdq?*
Ian van Ingen it'll never happen. nintendo's robot lawyers that shoot bees out of their mouths would be sicced on the charity event and force them out of buisness. For the record, it disgusts me, AM2R was a much better remake of RoS than Samus Returns, and it deserves the light of day.

Would like to see a legit full run on metroid, without shortcuts, nor glitches.
k got it deathless
LaggyMcDougal The official category is not deathless. Its just that deaths help you warp. So it is a warpless category
David Baird that's not what was introduced by commentator. So NOT deathless in my book either. Maybe a mistake but that's what was said and I saw him die!
Awkward high fives at the end almost as awkward as the dude doin the Denzel My Man shout outs at again the most awkward times.
Great run tho!!
Nah those My Man's were natural and appropriate for those insane tricks.
Great run indeed!
ayy. my man.
He is the mannnn..dammm. good
#MYMAN
So i've watched the hole run whats my comment...
M A H M A N!
My man!
Lol
Epic.
mYmAAAAn
The guy saying “my man” needs to get over it, he’s late to that little meme
jesus, chill out lol
You're thinking of "my dude" or "my guy". "My man" has been used for many many many years
Dev n No he's definitely referring to Rick and Morty. The runners name is a reference to Marty from back to the future and Morty is also a reference to Marty. The "my man" being repeated is in reference to one of the episodes (its also obvious by how he says it). Either way though, its fucking obnoxious.
Why does he get missiles right after beating kraid?
Kraid always increases your missiles so does Ridley
Lmao at she was only 60
hello my game favorite super Metroid
What's up with Samus' changing hair color
The color change is when he's switching from primary weapon to missiles (by pressing SELECT.)
