Arabian Nights by Kotti in

[@TheKotti]

What an amazing response this run has received, thank you! Before the run I thought I was the only person in the room who's ready for this, then the game reminded me that no one is ever truly prepared for it.

[@cesarh8120]

You did amazing, man! Thanks for bringing this jewel of a game to light!

[@andrewkos5560]

One of the highlights of AGDQ 2018 as a whole. Fantastic job man.

[@cavemanproductions]

This was honestly great man, loved every second of the run, such a funny and entertaining game to run :)

[@JCDenton2000]

TheKotti Your runs are always funny man. I remember your Blood Money run from a few years ago and that was hilarious.

[@Mitwadus]

TheKotti UH UH UH UH UH UHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUUHHHHHH. 10/10.

[@RainaThrownAway]

I'd say that the "press T and the flower appears" thing sounds like a debug code left in the game, but that would imply this game was bugtested.

[@Relytia]

Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the adventure.

[@hoodiesticks]

25:45 "Father, this is the man I wish to wed. He is pennyless, but his heart is pur-" *stabs everyone* That was the moment that finally made me crack up.

[@USMC49er]

25:51 I don't feel so good

[@AlexTenThousand]

And then starts jumping like a madman

[@Scramel]

For some reason I heard "but he's hot as hell", lmao

[@darkhood21]

This right here was top 5 best runs this year.

[@LaJin9292]

What's the other 4?

[@darkhood21]

RE7 Bloodborne Jedi Academy Megaman Relay Race

[@Cdog-]

This is all 5 in one. The perfect game

[@MNalias]

This should be Any% glitchless, because it doesn't look like any of that wasn't intended.

[@Nerr0us]

Hell, forget about speed running part, I think playing this game glitchless would be a challenge itself.

[@lxjoe96]

i dont think the game was intentional

[@Treychik]

That's why you had all chapters in the loading section...in case you get tired of the levels 😂

[@EchoCian]

they were very proud of that dance animation and they shouldn't have been Rewatching years later, this is still in my top 5 favorite runs of GDQ. Absolutely incredible from start to finish.

[@LeriHunter]

This might be my favorite speedrun of all time. The sheer mess that is the game on every possible level, the explanation of the player while the couch utterly fails to hold its laughter back... It's just too much.

[@Blittsplitt5]

"I need to get to that yellow thing over there, because that's the second princess" HAHAHAHAHA

[@trulyinfamous]

This is still perhaps my favorite GDQ run ever.

[@jackaleope]

me too!!

[@jackaleope]

this is my favorite gdq run of all time hands down

[@Jetsetlemming]

My favorite glitch, of the many fantastic glitches, is that when the PC goes out of bounds he becomes a sentient pair of pants with no one wearing them.

[@Ponyj0]

Definitely my pick for best run of AGDQ 2018, if not the most hilarious.

[@nobodyimportant6301]

Tobias in 2015 or 2014 they speedruned town with no name

[@Ponyj0]

Meant to say of this or 2018 but hell yeah that was also an amazingly hilarious game.

[@TwistedBananaProductions]

Father, this is the man I wish to wed, he is penniless but his heart is uggh!

[@Emezie]

56:30 - 57:20 Was the reason for the season. Once the low health "moaning" kicked in, I was done

[@RikkoTheGawd]

Every year I come here and i laugh like the first time, thanks Kotti for this masterpiece of a run

[@NemoNautilusEra]

I am bizarrely fond of that version of Ali. His dumb expressions and his bare understanding of speech is amazing. Seen that speedrun many times and it still makes me laugh.

[@Jeefk0]

Ah..... Ah.... Ah... Ah.. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.. (Bweeeeeigh!)

Further beyond

[@OneTrueBelmont]

So this is the story of Prince Ali, who marries five chicks and a guy, breaks physics, logic and is the most glorious mess of a game I've ever seen. At least from what I can tell.

[@sonicboy678]

Ali Ababwa~

[@DZrache]

Also he has an English accent for some reason

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Because of course he does!

[@theAmazingJunkman]

i dont think he’s a prince. the second princess he meets describes him as “penniless”

[@OneTrueBelmont]

But who needs money when you can break physics over your knee?

[@Mr.Spongecake]

Such an amazing game. Free of any game-breaking glitches, completely without bugs and whose code has been polished to a sheen.

[@gwendolyn314]

the couch's constant giggling and joy was so infectious! i've never laughed so hard during awful block. this is pure gold.

[@ryanwelch5045]

The "ohhhh" at 18:50 gets me every time

[@blackbeauty1968]

Who was the dude talking to?

[@Liamthewaldo]

Still come back to this when i need a laugh one of the best speedruns ive ever seen

[@Halcryder]

I have no idea WTF this game is, but I had good 50 minutes of laughter

[@Ch0wW]

Definitely one of the best runs I've ever watched at AGDQ.

[@486kyle]

20:15 "How do you open your jars?" "I tried sitting on them" Fuck yeah, 1 guy 1 jar references

[@FordJohnes]

This run truly solidified awful block if you ask me. One of the all time greats.

[@isprobablyjobhunting]

The incredible dancing couch.

[@gnisten6]

Masterpiece

[@zeelduh]

i remember watching this right when it was uploaded and it still hasnt lost its charm

[@Namadu7]

That low health groan was timed so well at certain points. He sounds so fed up with everything and everyone... and there wasn't a kiss that didn't make him moan. Even when it wasn't perfectly placed, I seriously could not stop laughing at that the first time I heard it. The hardest I've laughed in a long time... this game seriously hurt me. Ugggh.

[@jeremyquiros5483]

Brossentia trying his hardest not to burst into laughter at everything is also great

[@YPinkie]

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahahaha

[@djemollient2594]

Guess the first Uncharted didn't age very well

[@prince-solomon]

you mean the first PRINCE OF PERSIA

[@Treychik]

@@prince-solomon please! Even god forgotten first Prince of Persia 3D was better :) But the game is fun to play...when you're with friends and drunk 😂

[@FinleyZero]

57:01 was clearly the breaking point.

[@FourthDerivative]

38:37 The moment this run went from merely hilarious to one of the greatest runs in GDQ history

[@shingshongshamalama]

Magnificent trainwreck of a game.

[@XaneMyers]

Gotta love those city sky images...especially the weird one at 27:37 with what looks like water above the city...

[@TheJonathanc82]

I remember watching this live. It is still amazing after all these years.

[@MrXabungle]

Damn, the couch lost it way more than the crowd.

[@MVPUnlucky]

I liked the couch for this I had fun with this the crowd can suck it this time.

[@gabeh1839]

And?

[@TomJakobW]

Sammy Van Dankstein honestly, I just found it embarassing. They laughed manically about every little thing. Not everyone likes to act like that, so they - being so over the top - killed a lot of the crowd interaction. Don't tell me you don't know that situation: someone wants to show you something funny, and the one showing you just laughs like crazy even before you were even able to see things. It's just weird and uncomfortable.

[@Draegoron]

@@TomJakobW I didn't see that happen here. Their laughter almost always matched when I laughed, and you gotta admit it's a fucking hilarious run. Coming from knowing nothing about this game and just seeing it break constantly cracked me up.

[@mrkenz7566]

That was an amazing and Hilarious run What a freakin game to expierence!!!

[@sweetpepino1907]

The crowd at 45:46 gets me every time

[@DragonNexus]

What a glorious dumpster fire of a run this was. I really feel for the GDQ staff, but they did good work here. Excellent run all around. Best thing I've watched in weeks.

[@BJGvideos]

I wish I had seeds that grew parrots. Especially historically inaccurate parrots (that's a blue and gold macaw. They come from South America. Arabia in this age would have had African Grey parrots or something from India). I do enjoy the bright colors in this game! It makes me want to pull some assets from it for Sims but I think my game would explode.

[@fx7105]

which sims? lol

[@achillesrossberg6652]

Such a peculiar speedrun. I appreciated it so much

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

I seriously LOVE games like this. My childhood was dominated by the old PC Harry Potter games, and this game takes me RIGHT back. God Damn.

Wow can't believe it try searching on youtube and easily like 1 or 2 videos only. In france the game was shipped by an internet provider and given in Episode. Like DLC or something lol

[@Grub4K]

I still own a original disc of this game, and after watching this I am proud. Never played it, but seems like it will not stay that way. Great entertainment
