7/26/2023 0 Comments Games done quickWhile the effort and their proceeds have greatly increased over the years, attempts to be more family-friendly have reined in runners and their supporters on the couch, creating a massive debate between viewers about whether even having fun is allowed anymore (not that it's stopped some runners from having a hell of a time, but it's practically reached Memetic Mutation for people to believe someone's banned at the slightest provocation of having fun or a small Precision F-Strike). What started as basic charity get-togethers for some fun in small, cramped hotel rooms have evolved to massive setups with hundreds of people potentially in the audience with a rented-out atrium and professional sponsorships making millions in donations. Another target for ire is the growing professionalism of the event at the expense of the runners letting loose.Some insist that since it's Awesome Games Done Quick, they should be trying to get as many different games as possible done within the marathon, while many others prefer these games because they get to see a variety of strategies within a single run. There's some mud-slinging regarding whether or not any run that takes longer than 2 hours should be allowed, especially RPGs like the Final Fantasy series.No one in the event addressed this oddity, and viewers were left disturbed and confused. The intermission before the AGDQ 2017 Mega Man Legends run showed a woman in pink bunny pajamas snuggling with a bearded man.While she had permission to announce it and the room erupted into applause, the reason everyone on the couch looked really uncomfortable is that not only did it come straight out of nowhere, but she announced it in the middle of the run instead of when the run was over. During the SGDQ 2016 Fallout 3 run, the runner TiffanySBB, announced that it was her fiancé's second year gender transition anniversary.Awesome Music: AGDQ 2012 featured a run of Castlevania that has the music being played on piano, creating some awesome remixes of the game's already awesome soundtrack. Archive Panic: GDQ has been doing marathons semiannually since 2010 (most of them week-long and featuring over 100 games each) and has been doing speedrun related content daily since 2018.
