I am impressed that they actually included a Souls game this year even after the heavily contended DS1 WR. but overall I intended on watching 7 of speed runs on the first day. Side note I am sad there is no battle block theater this year because that was fricken hilarious when they had the voice actor on call during that game.

I EXPECT A QUALITY COUCH THIS YEAR.

 

 

In all seriousness i am mostly hyped about:

Bastion(that game was amazing,i'm hyped to see another speedrun of it)

Super Meat Boy with dark ending(its always fun watching SMB speedruns,since most of the time,shit goes south really quickly)

Mark Of The Ninja(actually haven't seen a speedrun of this game yet for some reason,excited to see some of the strats they will use and which paths they will take,since many missions have multiple paths)

 

This year's SGDQ seems like is going to be great!

jak and daxter run with bonesaw577 was great. about a thirty minute talk about owen wilson and the cast of Anaconda. the whole two hours is the devolution of a man into insanity, instigated by his couch and the few crowd still awake at 2am. beautiful.
