Doodsf is the red t-shirt guy

[@matthewpaul526]

It's cool that Alan Rickman's voice showed up to comment from the couch for this run.

[@exiledgoldfish6329]

Free Brain Surgery lol hilarious.

[@drummersarus]

Free Brain Surgery I thought it was Brain. What are we going to do tonight Brain?

[@whispers6667]

Free Brain Surgery haha I was just about to post the same comment

[@FinalManaTrigger]

Vincent Price

[@pejnismiggle]

I was wondering who that guy is, because there's a really funny sound in another Speedrunner's Twitch Chat that sounds exactly like him.

[@drifter1063]

I don't know who this runner is but man he's wholesome

[@casmx7300]

Even though the RNG at the start wasn't in the runner's favor, I definitely appreciate runs like this more than those that start with a pass code in order to skip the initial grind.

[@diegocrusius]

epic troll by his mom.

[@Baboonballs]

Man, they cut the feed before he had a chance to even say thanks or goodbye. Damn, GDQ.

[@bibby201]

It was probably because he went 4 minutes past estimate . They don't want to be mean but they have to keep on schedule

[@GabeSweetMan]

@@bibby201 Plus he was also the same runner for the very next game so it's not like he was even going anywhere.

[@frozentunadeluxe3163]

Holy Water...Who Knew!

[@dandanimal5297]

what the heck is rng?

[@xxxswegmachinexxx4257]

It stands for "Random Number Generator", It's used as an offhand way to refer to any aspect of a game that is chance/luck based.

[@CodySharpe]

I didn't know this beforehand, but the dude doing the run actually holds the current record with a time of 30:58. Crazy to watch.

[@crimsonstorm34]

Jay_Cee is an awesome runner and a great guy. If you guys haven't watched his streams on twitch I'd suggest going there and checking them out. He should have a lot more subs. Hopefully he gets invited back to do more castlevania games.

[@symb0lz1]

His singing made me watch all his AGDQ runs and made me sub his twitch

[@Aggrofool]

Unlucky RNG there, but great frame-perfect tricks.

[@Valverik]

Im I the only one that just dont care about estimated time on the run? These speedruns are just so fun and amazing

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

Great job! A very entertaining run, it's not an easy game for a marathon. I love the donations too!

[@RoundShades]

What a horrible night to have bad RNG.

[@RobotRock25Q]

33:30 I feel for Jay-Cee. for my first 18th years of life I lived on a ranch. Don't get me wrong I love living rural but as someone who lives dang exclusive with the internet, ranch internet options were limited, slow and expensive.

[@311bomb]

I enjoy Jay Cee on Twitch! Unfortunately it's a marathon run and he can't reset.

[@Bananling]

Love this speedrunner, seems like such a nice dude!

[@ornvik481]

Somebody tried to include his family at 9:50 and 27:23 :D (RIP to his father)

[@HappyMealBieber]

. kinda back fired when he did his dad, i mean seriously. i would feel pretty stupid calling in and posing as his parent that died,. kinda not very smart

[@KevinEDF]

But don't rest on your laurels

[@WolfCoder]

I'm going to call GDQ a Video Game Party from now on

[@bobosmith101]

Guy definently underestimated the bad RNG.

[@michaellaverty7349]

Awesome that Mr. Plinkett turned up for couch commentary.

[@tukkek]

This game is the most disappointing thing since my son (who is playing the game on-screen by the way)!

[@Tassooow]

This game is not as bad as people say. Beat it casually at around 4h. The only problem is that you absolutely need a walkthrough or guide, because otherwise the game is extremely obtuse. Other than that, it's alright. Definitely the worst Castlevania NES game, but I've played worse

[@HyborianAge]

I'm just here for the music.

[@ArtoPekkanen]

What a horrible night to have a curse :D Good run, good commentary, good vibe; nevermind the bad RNG and the evil subpixies :P

[@depressedkermit5337]

How did he perform the first floor drop?

[@midnightcoffee6463]

Wait, you could kill Dracula just by throwing Holy Water on him twice from under the floor? :O And here I was, wasting time throwing Sacred Fire on him

[@fgcnomad5135]

The movement in this game irritated tf out of me lol. I've seen better auto scrollers

[@fecky9795]

it not only boost ya up but it boost ya foward. I love this man

[@MindWandererB]

I knew you could one-shot Death if you hit him with the last frame of the dagger, but I never knew why or that it worked with the holy water, too. Cool!

[@garrettmarzo7858]

What a horrible night to have a curse... But what a great night to watch some awesome speedruns!

[@hallohi2414]

games done quick in 2x speed, is the real speedrun strat.

[@MrLukeStump]

I am glad people still play this game!

[@Chidsuey]

I wonder if the extra digit is because the NES version couldn't afford another byte for heart storage as compared to the Famicom.

[@bryantnonya8704]

I don't get why this game has so much hatred when it was essentially the precursor to Castlevania symphony of the night in terms of gameplay mechanics.

[@atbtrendy9932]

Because the concept was very good but the execusion was bad.

[@Makrillol]

The background walls in the towns have little chipmunk faces, cannot unsee!

[@dingdong1059]

wow! this is the absolute best run i've seen.

[@Dr_Mel]

~Barkerville~

[@NYInfamous]

~clarinet~

[@Pedrostacio]

I love how this guy narrates.

[@Makrillol]

The music in this game is great!

[@JohnMerrik]

9:40 I stood up out of my chair. that timing. goddamn! Great run JC!

[@ZombieDish]

Ive only played Simons Quest until I got a GBA and a DS then I tried the Metroidvania games. I could never get the Simon Quests good ending though.

[@kaseybrown7664]

Jc583 should be on the radio.

[@jmlinde]

How would you like your oak stake sir? Medium rare please

[@jmlinde]

HEH!! HEH!! HEH!!

[@profile1251]

10:00 Master Troll

[@WanderingMindSR]

This was such an entertaining run, thanks for making me laugh!

[@ndknight]

One of these events, I will go to AGDQ, can't believe I missed it this time, just when I finally had the time and money to go.

[@bertgoedeme1737]

seems like such a great community and a super event!

[@bezerker99]

My favorite NES Castlevania game, by far! Nice job

[@Ragesauce]

Mah man!

[@Laurell_Silentshade]

Bloody Tears is now the Doo Dee Doo song.

[@Caleb_son_of_God]

Why no flaming whip?

[@terrarising]

Jay_Cee's Mom?

[@casperdaghost7836]

Hype

[@user-xv9lj3nq1r]

What a horrible run to have a curse

[@mattjoseph3545]

This was the one game i had when I was a kid. I remember...............the horror.

[@Matisaro]

Holy shit, the hours I spent trying to get over that wall as a kid and it did exactly what my 10 year old brain thought it would.

[@PKMNwww411_MkII]

The "hearts as currency" gimmick was first used in Kid Icarus.

[@shortestwidereceiver]

27:30 Big oof

[@Oivindjensen]

Barkerville

[@ZXNovaBoom]

Hey it's that Castlevania game everyone hates on too much because of poor translations and AVGN.

[@hzhz3469]

Love it! Such a positive people!

[@jugewannabe]

Jay sounds like SwaggerSouls

[@billybrawn]

He sounds like Troy McClure

[@Cardiojunkie1]

I came 2 this and I don't understand the purpose is it just to see tricks

[@hcpnator]

AJCQ 2019 was awesome!

[@Cinemaphile7783]

What. A. God.

[@HappyMealBieber]

This is one of the best retro speed run videos on YT.

[@Vincentvalentinezxa]

hey i love ur art

[@jugvirsidhu3922]

Jay-cee and Beyon-say

[@drdav1]

Yikes

[@kounurasaka5590]

I'm surprised someone runs this game. It isn't a game, but rather the idea of a game! Cool run though!

[@aljma6359]

Simon's quest worst castlevania

[@joshuaspector8182]

I dunno man. you played any of the game boy ones? :D

AVGN's game sucks, but music is excellent

[@marcos54695]

I saw this run just to see if this game is worth playing, it definitely not.

[@psychodeviant8903]

Get your eyes checked. This game is great.

[@matrix91234]

Its cryptic but i like it. Its just chill adventure side scroller!

[@ErectCock]

What a horrible night to have a curse... Especially when you're playing as speedrun

[@Sniperbear13]

1988. good year. Edit, here is a vampire joke for you; what does a vampire say to the waiter when his food arrives? Fang you very much!

[@28Pluto]

This joke is so old it makes it feel like the game came out in 2018 with loot boxes.
