“My preparation did not accounts for acts of God!” Is just a really good line xD

[@ButcherTaotie]

22:30 in the run if your looking for it again.

[@EATSxBABIES]

Literally Florida during hurricane season

[@ethanhanzelart]

😊😊😊

[@elliswrong]

This lady has been running for 4 full minutes and her heart rate is still 55. She's got one hell of a ticker.

[@djoshawott2850]

She can forever with such a low heart rate, but god forbid she needs to step out of the way of something, her heart'll go crazy.

[@Maxylobes]

It was an honor to commentate this run. It was a rollercoaster of emotion, but such a fun time. Punchy is a legend, and ya'll should follow him to witness how many sick, unique runs he does.

[@sweetwizzle]

Not only is this game one of my favorites, but Punchy's runs are always a highlight for me. Hearing Maxylobes is icing on this hell cake.

[@VrikktheUndying]

Punchy, Maxy, and Ecdycis? It's a dream team for me. Love all of these fellas.

[@umbranoctis4348]

Punchy playing Illbleed again? I only have one word for that: Cool! (yes, in Eriko's voice, doing the pose)

[@nowonprzn7442]

Me and my friends found this game at a pawn shop a couple years ago. We now meet up to play through it randomly like once a year, it’s a master piece.

[@handsomejack4125]

Whenever Punchy and Ecdycis are together, my heart sings. Throw Illbleed in the mix and it becomes perfection.

[@DrPhillan]

I understand the panic when the dreamcast crashed into bios, however, as a viewer, I think you made a great recovery! This is a very special game, I'm always happy to see a speedrun of it, great job Punchy!

[@Bi0mega]

My old Dreamcast would do that when it started breaking down, before it developed the boot cycle problem a lot of DCs develop, so, yeah, it used to happen to me all the time.

[@BrySkye]

It's probably the connector between the PSU and the main board inside, at least if it becomes more and more frequent. You can typically cure it by opening the console, removing the PSU board and cleaning both the connector and power pins, as well as VERY gently applying pressure to the pins to ensure a more solid connection. This is a very well documented issue with the console, and I'm a little surprised it caught everyone off guard so badly. My launch PAL Dreamcast started doing this as early as 2002, and I just have to repeat the process every few years, but otherwise the console is still fully functional.

[@tombrady1434]

Man, that girl can run around for 30 minutes and keep her heart rate under 60. She's a cardio monster!

[@saw1833]

I am just so intrigued by the size of the character in comparison to everything else. It's like the world was just designed for slightly larger people.

[@BackgroundNoise2009]

That woodcutter's song has lived in my head for years. (also, good run punchy! wish I had caught it live, but it was 4am for me)

[@kisaragireion]

Oh boy! Illbleed is always a trainwreck comedy gold. And a Punchy staple!

[@kromlok]

Punchy, ecdycis and maxilobes! The king's have returned. 👍

[@josephneisen3382]

Poor dude with the crash... Some very incredible commentary!

[@m2cks]

Never thought this would be in an AGDQ! Awesome run! Seeing the game be ran while dodging all of the scares is so satisfying.

[@mittensfastpaw]

They sailed through it even with that hiccup! Such positive vibes from runner and commentators!

[@Dominik-K]

Punchy's run certainly was a highlight of GDQ, what a unique game this is

[@kl3r1kGH]

Punchy's runs are always very entertaining to watch

[@natakug1]

Ok, most baffling thing about this game to me....is for how meta this game....They have Sonic the FREAKING hedgehog in this game as a boss, and he doesnt have a single line of dialog, While the voice actor of Sonic is literally in the game.

[@gabrieltorresuberbucek6111]

A Punchy run is always a great time

[@BionicKraken]

I love Illbleed so much, I still have my copy that I bought from Electronics Boutique when it first came out. It's so goofy, weird and the mechanics are so bizarre, but I genuinely love this game.

[@cognizant3252]

This game is so bittersweet for me, so thank you for helping me make new memories with it. The BIOS crash has happened to me in a similar spot (not exactly the same).

[@JackMetJill]

Yo! So glad Illbleed is getting love! Extremely underrated gem of a game.

[@Jsuelieta]

Apparently the wordplay that doesn't translate in woodpuppets for the code being 1564 is hitotsu-go-roku-shi, shortened to hitogoroshi, or "murderer'. That took less research to find out than I expected it to.

[@caitlineder6950]

Punchy, Maxy, Ecdysis, and Illbleed is the most perfect horror speedrun combination I can think of

[@draxn0160]

This game is amasing, and Punchy is always such a joy to watch. And what an amasing crash to BIOS!

[@LinkSlayer64]

Really rustling my jimmies saying a pumpkin is a vegetable! It's a fruit! (Loving this run lol.)

[@atb1332]

strange things keep happening to this man during his runs. gotta hand it to him for not losing composure.

[@assymetricbet5468]

"And thats never happened before" 😂, just another marathon run

[@jacklongstreet5051]

Great run Punchy! Always a joy to watch.

[@arabidllama]

With characters like Cashman and Killerman, I think IllBleed may be the first Strand-type game

[@ShadowFoxSoothsayer]

I've always wondered, in the context of Illbleed the park, was there supposed to be an actual killerman attraction and it just happened to go off the rail for you, or was it supposed to be the crew getting murdered o.o

[@SolarMegaMan]

It's an actual attraction building you enter, and your friends literally get murdered (and revived) during the game if you take the wrong actions. So I'm assuming it's an actual attraction where the crew gets murdered and then brought back once the attraction is finished.

[@metalsnake27]

Punchy is great. This game is just wild. Never played it before but loved this run.

[@raigencat2490]

Amazing to see this game on GDQ

[@FireAngel7777]

Great game! Great speedrun! Hi Jorg!

[@shooky69]

So happy you got the game onto GDQ! Love seeing every upload of this run specifically by Punchy, congrats!!

[@ScottyMo]

More people need to play Illbleed!

[@WarisAmirMohammad]

Punchys done it again

[@TerminallyNerdy]

Love a good Punchy run!

[@InfiniteEscuro]

I didn't know this was an old game up until the mention of a manual. Realised it wasn't some new indie thing or whatever, looked it up, and found it to be an over 20 year old game. Love seeing random old games.

[@Bob06506]

PUNCHY!!! Love watching all of you're runs.

[@ArispeMatt]

As has become a habit for ILLBLEEED speedruns I see on KZbin, the bugs are said to ignore wood that's not rotting or unhealthy. Gabooie.

[@Hurtydwarf]

Cant say I've ever needed to see this game nor want to play it but Punchy's runs are always so entertaining I'm watching it anyway.

[@sayachii777]

I wish I could watch when it's live but very good run. Very entertaining ~ coach and host are hilarious 😆

[@suitov]

This well deserved its place on the big stage. That Indiana Jones Toy Story level was very normal.

[@shouphf]

Never a dull run with Punchy

[@aeternis7680]

i’ll never not watch punchy and illbleed

[@InnsannaStories]

Favorite speedrunner, amazingly fun run (with a very weird crash, im so sorry) of a very weird game. Great job Punchy!

[@eppinizer]

I can not believe I missed this live, Punchy, Maxi, Ecdysis, 100 minutes of excellence!!!

[@Mark_of_Tread]

Punchy’s SH2 run is still a personal favorite of mine, glad to see him running another horror “classic”

[@rebelforger5664]

My god, Punchy's mane is now luscious.

[@MoonlitWood]

Always love a Punchy run!

[@overkill1994]

Ugh. Punchy is just one of my all time faves. So happy I started following him.

[@Jacqli-Rivoli]

C O O L! ✊

[@teko1987]

This is now my favorite run of all GDQs

[@Voidoath]

What an amazing run

[@colin5227]

Extremely powerful video game

[@velvetbutterfly]

Always amazing to see my favourite runner at my favourite event, it just has a special energy

[@piplup10203854]

22:33 😆 that line killed me

[@LoTekGhost]

Life pro tip I took away from this run: when backed into a corner by an axe-wielding maniac, T-pose to assert dominance.

[@jkjk00222]

this one requires my full attention i will be back later punchy 10/10

[@shanehorton4022]

This game seems so intriguing. Especially on a first playthrough

[@adamklein4151]

Fun looking game, fun commentary. Great run.

[@skeleton_craftGaming]

I wouldn't be suprised if SEGA asked for the sonic cameo

[@daanthedoctor]

always love seeing this delightfully bizarre game, happy it made it to a main event this time!

[@calvertvilaga6005]

Gotta love punchy

[@fuzzycakes]

punchy is so great

[@henrik2766]

Punchy is speed God

[@YukoValis]

I love when at GDQ something happens that has never happened before.

[@OutOfTheGameLetsPlay]

This was a hilarious run! I'd only ever heard the legends of this game, mainly the Zornick part, didnt know about the Sexy Doll part, lmao!

[@Dullsonic3]

Ah yes, the game where you fight Sanic if he is a demon.

[@leandervr]

50:46 That trolley joke made me snort my drink.

[@AnnieMay224]

Punchy made a perfect 😳 face when the game crashed to bios. The stress was unfortunate, but it was entertaining, at least!

[@EBHsswvZUM]

I had pumpkin pizza just last week, at a pizza place in Rome.

[@KeitrenGraves]

You know that any run done by punchy is going to be fantastic.

[@HUNbullseye]

How dared the game do this to Punchy?!

[@goattrain]

I love this stupid, wonderful game so much

[@J0SHUAKANE]

5:25 i found that actually😁👍good run.

[@flashbackfrank8781]

1:30:18 SIIIIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAAAYYY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEEEL TONIIIIGHT ♫ Imagine the door actually opens up and just hard cuts to the KH3 scene with woody roasting Lil'Xanax, but instead with Cork as woody 😆

[@channelgong]

I'd love to see a run of all the games that Game Informer played for Super Replay. I'm thinking Blue Stinger!

[@Stiganamatic]

Punchy's hair is amazing.

[@jorgepina650]

Yatta

[@Aldenfenris]

Huh, so only 'counter hits' kill? that explains why an lp I saw of someone playing this game showed some inconsistent deaths in combat. Or like why some enemies seemed to have more hp than others, or die faster than others.

[@th3TwistedLight]

That's never happened before

[@twistedclips]

What an egg-celent run. Come on guys let’s keep puns rolling.

[@blackmagetypem]

The maps pausing caught me off guard with the music so I got jump scared lol

[@LBVidiot]

That crash was a near PJ level of “wait… how did that happen?” 😜

[@matthewbrooks5470]

Punchy's been playing Illbleed for so long, it's actively cursing him now

[@forbezilla]

I woke up at 1 AM to catch this run. And after the first 20 minutes, I ended up falling asleep

[@fakeigniz13]

Woodman can't jump - starring Woody Harrelson

[@ceferdeimos]

I'm a simple person, I see Punchy playing illbleed I watch the run

[@fleurazure]

cool

[@Techhunter_Talon]

I see 'Punchy', I click.

[@KwizzyDaAwesome]

Come for the absurdity of illbeed, stay for the commentary about whether sap is blood and are pumpkins vegetables.

[@cabellasuccs1574]

Fun Fact: Tree sap does carry nutrients to the different parts of the tree, and sap is produced when the vein is broken containing the sap. Some trees produce very thick, slow-running sap, and others produce very large and copious amounts of sap. So yeah, trees do bleed when you cut them. Have fun with that.

[@angelindenile]

This games lore sounds like it was made up by a series of forum posts that got more and more ridiculous as it went. Fun watch! Well done. I hope we see Punchy in the future.

[@TaylorLy-ux8su]

does anyone know what the Japanese wordplay is for that code in Woodpuppets? 1564? I couldn't figure it out but I'm hella curious lol. Edit: It's mentioned at about 40:09

[@isaacbear7115]

Sonic.exe wishes it was scarier than that boss

[@zakorlando2462]

I guess I haven't seen any recent runs by punchy... was surprised by the long hair all of a sudden.
