Need For Speedrunning Need For Speedrunning

The crew emerge from their post AGDQ 2023 naps to sit down and discuss their favorite speedruns of the charity marathon, but the main event is two of the incredible races that happened! During the break, we watched vanni_van and Iceblue race through BS Legend of Zelda before moving on to the Love 3 race between Char_bunny, Paulister, and Heponwana! So grab your jammies one more time, hop in the NFSR Airboat, and get ready for some amazing speedruns!

We always talk about speedruns from a "watchability" perspective on our show, but what exactly does that mean? What can make a speedrun bad to watch? What about a game that's bad to speedrun at all?? Luigi and Hobz dive into the nitpicky sides of speedrunning in this meta topic on the genre as a whole.

Curl up with a warm mug of leftover gravy, because we’re gonna snuggle up with the AGDQ 2023 Schedule. Hobz, Rubie, and Luigi start from the back and work their way towards the pre-show, stopping to admire the great runs and runners along the way. Come Speedrun and chill with us.

We’re back with another Great Speedruns In History episode, this time looking at the nail-biting Ninja Gaiden Relay Race from AGDQ 2015. In addition to providing the commentary, our guests Sinister1 and Duckfist were responsible for putting together GDQ’s first relay and one of the most exciting moments in the history of the event!
