Awesome Games Done Quick (aka AGDQ) has began but once more, and simply 4 days in has already blessed us with some unforgettable moments and absolute must-watch PC speedruns. The clips I provide as much as you immediately contain one speedrunner whacking out an actual life mannequin to elucidate a glitch, one speedrun the place every little thing went incorrect however everybody had a superb time anyway, and one game developer exclaiming “frick cancer in the bum.”
For starters, now we have tomatoangus’ run of the Fallout Anthology. Tomatoangus (or tomatoanus to his buddies) did a superb run via each Fallout game, from 1 via Four together with New Vegas (sorry Fallout Tactics and 76, you weren’t invited), clocking in at simply over two hours. In common, he was an absolute pleasure to look at, one of the best half nonetheless, was throughout a beginning part of Fallout 4. During the lengthy cutscene the place, spoiler, you watch your partner get shot lifeless whereas in cryosleep, he explains in nice element how a sure glitch he’s about to make use of works by pulling out a mannequin he had constructed from pipe cleaners, cardboard and plastic cups. And what? It really helped me perceive how on earth he carried out the glitch he confirmed. I can’t even remotely start to elucidate the way it works in my very own phrases, so have a watch of the Twitch clip under and marvel at simply how spectacular speedrunners like tomatoangus are.
Next up, now we have the Terraria speedrun the place every little thing goes incorrect. This is the very first time a speedrun of Terraria has been executed at GDQ, and the primary time this explicit runner has entered a GDQ too. And, regardless of many, many mishaps, it’s some of the entertaining runs of this 12 months’s occasion to date. From the beginning it appears the RNG gods have been type to speedrunner TVGBadger, however because the game progresses he runs right into a bug that stops an enemy from dropping an merchandise he wants for the run. It’s a little bit of a curler coaster trip from that time on.
“Don’t worry though, we’ll definitely complete the entire run,” he says about Four minutes and 28 seconds in. Unfortunately, this totally jinxes your complete run. He finally ends up having to change to a backup world about midway via, which appears to be the reason for the ultimate boss not spawning. Then, on the finish when he tries to cheat and spawn stated boss in so the viewers at house can see it, even that goes incorrect and the run stays unfinished. It was a valiant effort, and TVGBadger’s limitless positivity and is a pressure to be reckoned with. His mission was to create a memorable run, and he completely achieved it. My solely hope is he returns in the future to overcome Terraria as soon as and for all.
Lastly now we have Psych0sis’ run of Amid Evil, the period of which he had among the game’s builders watching alongside, dropping game keys on Twitter every time they acquired a donation. The run itself was your customary extremely spectacular speedrun – the attractive half about it nonetheless, was the developer’s reactions. There was some shock, some awe, and only a tiny little bit of swearing which often is a a technique ticket for folks to get banned from GDQ. But the builders meant effectively once they stated “fuck cancer”, it’s, in any case, what this charity occasion is all about. Towards the very finish of the run one dev rapidly throws in a “frick cancer in the bum”. Because apparently that sounded higher than simply swearing. Regardless, it was a superb ship off to a enjoyable speedrun, and undoubtedly price a watch if in case you have a spare 30 minutes.
AGDQ is streaming proper now on Twitch, and ends this Sunday at 8:30am GMT. It’s all to raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and you may try the occasion schedule right here.
