Sonic block has started!
I wonder if it will have a classic single player mode
Use the website, it has an option to export your data to a file, and then import it. You don’t need any 3rd party apps or anything.
here’s a good video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU Ross’s Game Dungeon: Deus Ex
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJazjz9ZsA Deus Ex: Human Revolution is FINE, And Here’s Why
The Sonic block should be really good as usual. Doom 64 is cool, Quake 2, Half-Life 2, StarCraft.
A LITERAL DOG playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZixOslQIgc
Morrowind (All Main Quests) should be good, we usually see Any% which is too quick because the game is very exploitable lol.
Zelda Link to the Past - All Dungeons (Swordless) should also be cool, this game has a huge variety of glitches so when you do awkward categories like this you really see them all demonstrated.
Mario World Kaizo Relay Race should be fun. Also look out for the Mario 64 Randomizer played blindfolded!
We also have a silly games block starting with Golf It!, then Monster Party, Birds Aren’t Real: The Game, and more.
I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.
I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.
You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.
ESPN has an esports section too lol https://www.espn.com/esports/ it seems to be abandoned though
this is in person
I agree about some gimmicks like 2 players 1 controller, or playing games with a dance pad or whatever, they seem difficult but still feel like gimmicks to me
4-way races are ok if you’re familiar with the game and speedrun already, but otherwise hard to watch
we’ve got a megathread for discussion over at !speedrun@sh.itjust.works - https://programming.dev/post/16201685
but maybe there will be more discussion here instead?
anyways, it’s live now, HYPE! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
pretty funny to see Sports Illustrated doing an article about this https://www.si.com/esports/speedrunning/summer-games-done-quick-starts
seems like they have a branch “Esports Illustrated”
semi-related, if anyone wants to chat about the Games Done Quick event itself, we have a megathread post in !speedrun@sh.itjust.works
on Thursday, don’t miss Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball by Peanut Butter the Dog, live on stage this time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZixOslQIgc
I’m also pretty hyped for the Sonic block on Monday: Sonic Project 06 (modded version of 06 so it’s actually good?), Sonic Robo Blast 2 (open source fangame in the Doom/GZDoom engine, actually probably the best 3d sonic game ever made), and Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Ok I know we have our own instance and community so I can technically spam as many posts as I want, but still it would feel excessive lol. Rock Paper Shotgun also just put out an article, so I’ll just link it in here.

How about a randomizer? Pick a game you like and see if there’s a randomizer for it:
