0:39 is a false start, the demo starts and eats the opportunity to start then. The run actually starts at 0:51

Loving this run. Earthworm Jim was one of my...NO SIGNAL

[@agenttechnoman]

Signal capture apparently hates those Puppy Love levels...

[@bibby201]

Or it loves them I mean If you can't see the frame then don't you just technically save the frames?

[@IMN602]

There is NOTHING to love about them ill tell ya that!

[@Bluebomb716]

Not surprising cause no one does

[@TuMalaCon100cia]

Everybody hates those levels...

[@gargon_100]

Thanks AGDQ and everyone for watching!

[@Agk3los]

Great run man. My cartridge for this game as a kid had some kind of bug that would always freeze during the final level so I've never actually gotten to see the ending. Fun seeing this run at AGDQ!

[@gtadead]

Really enjoyed it great run.

[@gargon_100]

@@Agk3los Thanks a lot!

I just love how the video starts with a 10$ Donation from Dio Brando

[@TheRhythmDealer]

I can't believe Dio Brando donated to such a great cause, inspiring

[@Hiushisan]

As much pain as this game gives a player, it's still so much fun! The humor in the game is preposterous and I love it.

[@starivuk19]

you thought it was a donation but it was me DIO

[@Elhao]

The music to See Jim Run, Run Jim Run blew my mind as a kid. I was delighted when I realized that I could listen to the soundtrack by putting the CD-Rom of the game into my CD player. It was a lot later that I learned that this was based on the Moonlight Sonata.

[@Auryanne]

This seems like an awesome game to play just for the gorgeous art. The vili level is so calming, and level 8 did make me hungry.

[@dergrizzlyreaper]

12:34 the same laugh coming out of 2 different men.

[@madmankevin]

Even though it's not EWJ1, I'm still happy GDQ is giving this groovy spacesuit wearing worm some love!

[@infinimetrical]

Love Earthworm Jim. I used to have a SNES copy of the first game. I still have a copy of 2. Some of the finest SNES graphics ever made for the platform at the time, let alone sound effects and music.

[@IMN602]

4:55 the launcher breaks "Its RNG" Cmon that was funny as shit

[@hadin9563]

If Dio had spent his time researching rather than watching speedruns he would have defeated the Joestars

[@diobrando3119]

Hey, everyone has standards, you know?

[@MuchachoC]

but what''s the point in beating the Joestars and not having time for speedruns?

[@elhardcoregamerdelmonton7094]

Pretty good run,WELL DONE!

[@PhazonOmega]

"A minor...set-back." ~Evil the Cat Taking a moment to appreciate the announcer knew how to sing that donation towards the beginning of the run.

[@leotheblackmexican585]

The way he runs makes me believe he thinks he is in a speed run as well.

[@NightfallGemini]

the extremely strategic NO SIGNAL moments though

[@packfadly]

What's no signal means? Is it in game feature?

[@alexsamaniego9061]

Ville People had the best song for this game imo. Thanks alot :)

[@eternalNostalgia]

Love the ost of this game

Fantastic run!

Well done. _well done_ *well done*

[@Azumarito]

2:14 that killed me, I can't believe that not many people laughed there 😅

[@unj]

I cry (night after night)

[@xsimko]

I loved the 'Flying King' level so much, I just wanted it to never end. =)

[@lunatheluma3804]

I got stuck on that level for MONTHS I is so hard!

[@julesgamergourmand]

I find it more beautiful, easier and funnier than the first one. I have it on PC, I don't know which is the best version.

Got this game for Christmas when it came out, didn't leave my room for a month lol

[@AdustydustydustyA]

I learned something today

[@cleotasberkley9048]

Shame how the video kept cutting out. (Wait, am I first comment? YO!) I friggin love this game. It really influenced my sense of humor and taught me the value of perseverance in the face of overwhelming bullshit. (This game is HARD on a casual playthrough!) I loved watching someone break the game into tiny pieces. Well done.

[@gargon_100]

Thank you!!

[@MyWaifuNow]

i love [no signal] my favorite game

[@vjspectron]

WELL DONE!

For the filing cabinet You have to run round to kick up paper then use the open drawers as stairs

[@TuMalaCon100cia]

Hi, congrats for the run. I've a question... the jump at 17:21... how can I do that? I spend like 2 hours trying things, restarting and I couldn't... Any help, please?

[@madson-web]

It was me, Dio

[@sebaxtianpoops1617]

GROOVY!

[@Waldimart]

Well done.

[@HunterJE]

Was 19:57 a... (wait for it) ...PAPER CLIP?

[@ryansizemore5064]

Never beat EWJ 2. That last level is fucking disgusting. It looks like shit.

[@ShawnGamesDrunk]

Fun fact; that's actually a giant piece of tofu in the puppy love levels.

[@alexfowler6934]

awww man, the end cutscene so good and got cut out :(

[@adamhansbrough1714]

12:33 their laughter sounds like an echo haha

[@frhate]

6:30 pizza time!

[@Mononocleosus]

Wish they explained more of the clips and strats vs just saying he is gonna do this, that 😔 would have been nice to know how this is all working

[@chronosthevnwierdo6461]

Man, the capture just does *not* like puppies or something.

[@IMN602]

Man those cows at the end of each stage I would sit there and press buttons and the cows would say "well done" in a bunch of different pitches. Fuckin random

[@Samson_Dinklebob06]

1:15 HOW DOES HE DO THAT?!

[@juanadriancastroquintana8939]

This video confirms that AGDQ it's a Jojo's reference

[@Fractured_Scholar]

Hope these video problems are able to be worked out on future runs

[@ZynnHavik]

Whaaaat Ya'll did EarthWorm Jim!?!? I fkin Loved this game! =D

[@FuzzballRenakitty]

So many cut outs! Thankfully during Puppy Love- is there something wrong with their setup this time? D:

[@lunatheluma3804]

No tech team just hates puppy love

[@ZeroLovesDnb]

Heads up, the run/game is like 90% puppy love. Runner is great, game is just blech.

[@Phos9]

Him almost wondering if the puppy love levels output something weird that the capture can’t handle, resident evil 2 N64 style.

[@danemp4727]

Damn, never beat iso 9000 as a kid. Watching that skip kinda killed me inside lol

[@REVOMusicSounds]

That laugh 😂 12:35 Good run btw I

[@gargon_100]

Thanks!!

[@WaveTwisterz]

Warning, video input is quite choppy. It really kills the momentum of the run.

[@Smilley85]

Fortunately, only during the endlessly repetitive "Puppy Love" segments. Wonder what is up witth that.

[@jelloburn]

@@Smilley85 First thought was resolution switching or something weird due to the 3D nature of those levels, but I don't know that the SNES was capable of anything like that on the fly.

[@TheAmishStig]

@@jelloburn Just saw a Coding Secrets on how they did it in Toy Story. The "ground" is probably a Mode 7 background, and then some fancy sprite tricks to make the buildings 'turn'.

[@RoastCDuck]

Wasn't the level called "jim becomes a blind cave salamander" rather than villi people?

[@doublex85]

I think that was the title on the Genesis version.

[@GoldenKitSylveon]

A lot of technical issues in this video with the game capture

[@infinimetrical]

Definitely a marshmallow.

[@BrasilGT]

Well don... NO SIGNAL

[@honestysrevival1]

What's with the signal cutting out so often this AGDQ...?

[@zelpar]

The constant "no signal" is slightly vexing, not much that can be done sadly.

[@NestorCustodio]

Lorenzo's Soil music FTW.

[@styles234]

Video stream is cutting out an awful lot in this one, any ideas as to why?

[@Krushak8888]

what version is he playing or is the stream was bad? dont remember lorenzo soil being so dark

I was playing on a super nintendo! :)

Earth Worm Jim 2 is a frustrating, tedious experience. I really liked the first and was disappointed by 2. What the fuck were they thinking with the puppy love level? 4 rounds of total shite. And then you have to do it again!

What the fuck is up with the no signals?! God damn it!!
