Official Awful Games Done Quick Highlights | AGDQ 2019

[@halonone]

I am trying to fathom some situation in one's life that makes one think, "I am going to learn how to speed run Virtual Hydlide."

[@designator7402]

"You can start the timer any time you want. This is Virtual Hydlide, it really doesn't matter." God, I love that line.

[@bcptbcpt]

"- hey, I had that game when I was a kid!" "- huh, that's weird, my parents loved me" LOL!

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Fun fact about Star Wars on PS1: In Official PlayStation Magazine, it was reviewed and given 9/10. One month later, after hundreds of complaints saying the game was awful (which it is), they had to print an official apology. In the apology, they'd realised the reviewer hadn't reviewed it objectively, and only scored it high because it was Star Wars. He was fired because of it.

[@Daosguard]

Most games just pay off reviewers anyway, not a shocker.

[@FraserSouris]

@@Daosguard Fortuntaly, that's become mostly a thing of the past. It's rare that it's a shocker when it does happen

[@hugosanchez4593]

Unpopular opinion I loved and played the shit out of phantom menace

[@NinjaMamut]

Thx 4 lore

[@LuxuryDragonessX]

The audience screaming at the yeti’s face on the loading screen slays me

[@NottemPortant]

The runner for Virtual Hydlide deserves credit for being able to control the game since I couldn't for the life of me even figure out what was going on

[@Mellowbaton]

Got to give it to PJ for his perseverance in submitting his run 14 times

[@sagesaria]

Is it me or is awful block where the audience has the most fun?

[@flparg2]

Hell yes. Thats the secret of avgn success, horrible games

[@tokumei99]

It has the most old GDQ energy

[@hugorosillo4605]

Yes, the normal gdq might have moments like tomatoangus(g is silent) running the fallout games, but the best times are when everybody is making jokes and screaming during the run

[@Godlysound]

Imagine you see the mario 64 skips for a decade and then you're shown this nonsense you've never seen before, instantly captivating

[@NegativeDumpster]

Runs of actually good games are taken more seriously, so the audience is usually respectful of that and tends to be more reserved. But when the game is already shitty to begin with, nobody cares, so everyone can just have fun with it.

[@speedways7190]

the awful block needs to have a special design, to make the stream not only have awful games, but have an awful boarder to surround the awful games.

[@ajassassin7912]

That would be neat to see.

[@theangrymoon8269]

maybe they could use the Megaman in this as inspiration

[@28Pluto]

Wow, what an awful idea.

[@pureskill123]

Border, dude. Using the wrong word will confuse many.

[@Kurikurikara]

just deepfry the normal one lol (late reply I know sorry)

[@FieryRedmond]

"I have not missed a frame yet... I'm still counting as we go. We're up to 7"

[@khajiithadwares2263]

"It's nice to be able to look away from a game... and then look back and not miss a single frame." 13:22

[@naphackDT]

"If you go to menu after the first frame after death you get back up." Me: "wow, that's a generous time window."

[@maxthompson7107]

“How much is the incentive set up to stop the run?”

[@bmhoxy5780]

Mohawk & Headphone jack is un ironically one of the best awful games ever shown on gdq

​@@maxthompson7107 ya didn't get the joke smh

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

Humanity just wasn't ready for the incredible genius of Mohawk and Headphone Jack.

[@Awesoman9001]

This block is the best block. There is a good reason it has the longest highlights. I'm just surprised the entire thing isn't highlights. Also, does anyone know what's the status on the hovercannons?

[@Aquarios1337.]

They are still coming.

[@dafrostwithdagloss1310]

they will never end.

[@aplanenerdandagamenerd9087]

It’s just so easy to crack so many jokes

[@maxthompson7107]

More are coming!

[@gaypiplup]

I could’ve lived my entire life without hearing the phrase “full frontal Noidity”

[@Audon4150]

The whole room crying in fear everytime the yeti's face appears on the screen xD god that was funny

[@charcoal9611]

I unironically think Mohawk looks like a dope game and I don't get why it's in the awful block. I mean I guess you could get motion sickness or something but anything that could cause that just looks cool imo

[@Magic_beans_]

Yeah, I’d put it in the same category as _Mischief Makers_ or _Dynamite Headdy_ : solid games with a high skill cap, they’re just hella weird.

[@FSSZilla]

Shout outs to the editor who did the Star Wars wipe for transitions during The Phantom Menace.

[@FSSZilla]

and then I realize they do it for every game. Shoot.

[@TheArnoldification]

I genuinely can't tell if mohawk and headphone jack is a good or bad game with its 3000 IQ gravity system

[@CrasherX2000]

9:18 Jim the Knight Killed by bees

[@expendableround6186]

*_”NOT THE BEES!”_*

[@petrozza7206]

I love that highlights from Awful block are over twice as long as highlights from the regular games at the event

[@skipventure5158]

38:38 The transition for the Star Wars game was a left to right wipe, which is the one thing I remember about the Star Wars prequels. That makes my heart warm. Good on you, GDQ!

[@maxthompson7107]

17:26 I actually went ahead and did the work myself. After speeding it up to the point where it’s 6 times as fast, the boss is actually saying “There’s no need to run” in a feminine voice.

[@Joshbonez]

@33:10 ORB! ORB! ORB! ORRRRRRRB! lmao

[@rollwulf]

I died at trombone disaster, but died twice as the "Urban Yeti Trombone Player" donated XD

[@koobiie]

mario galaxy's gravity has NOTHING on mohawk and headphone jack

[@madhatt3r93]

And thank god for that 😅

[@oofadoofa313]

20:03 Dang I've never seen this Hotline Miami mod before

[@theknack101]

I remembered buying that dragon's lair game at a used good store. I thought it was the OTHER dragon's lair game for game boy color that was a surprisingly faithful recreation of the original dragon's lair. It was almost a shot for shot remake of it in fact, just with GBC graphics. I got tricked about a month later again when I saw the store had Quest for gameboy for sale. I thought it was the remake of the 64 game, but it was just a reskin of some puzzle game. It was infuriating.

[@reverencemusic9]

"Why am I dumb?!" "...You're playing monkey king."

[@v2d2]

21:58 LOL i love when the audience gets jumpscared by that face everytime

[@NekoValtz]

48:30 I legit thought my ears were ringing

[@molIymawk]

mohawk & headphone jack actually looks sick as hell

Virtual Hydlide, worst game ever, best runner ever! Love Gyre

[@NanoManya8]

This block is SO AWESOME. Mohawk and Headphone Jack??? WTF!!! So funny to see that. So cool to see someone know so much about such an unknown game. I love this!

[@dancingwithmic3548]

Can't wait for Jim in smash.

6:30 damn seems pretty degrading for dominoes to insult their own delivery drivers

[@Magic_beans_]

25:07 So many new sentences being invented.

[@darko6666]

Monkey king is actually a tv show in China about Sun Wu Kong who is birthed from a boulder and fought the heaven. The story is fucking fire and everything in this game have some what a depiction of his powers but the game was still garbage

[@nameforcomments4092]

Man I hope they don't actually get in trouble for saying "that's never happened before", because it's always hilarious.

[@malcovich_games]

Virtual Hydlide is really the best (worst) s*** ever..!

[@markotik75]

Cat and Monkey Gaming LOL Yeah, I can’t believe it’s quicker to turn 180 by going into the menu, turning then going back into the game 😂😂😂

[@malcovich_games]

@@markotik75 "In the menu they don't have to render the graphics" haha! :D

1:12:37 it sounds like he says "por favor" very quietly under his breath and then realizes that he doesn't actually want to say it.

[@mikebison9251]

If you havent watched that full iceplug home alone 2 run treat yourself. Its one of the best.

[@DrEisenhower]

Dude was utterly hilarious even without the couch full behind him. Legend.

[@MrShs812]

1:03:43 The Orion part really came out of left field for me and I lol’d so hard you wouldn’t believe

[@MrCookiedough]

I feel the need to state that there were in fact *three* monkey games in this video

[@ejmsucks]

The audience for Headphone Jack made that run even better.

[@bombabombom3603]

Mohawk & Headphone Jack in a nutshell: EXTREME CLOSE-UP! _WHOOOOOOAAAAH!_

[@studentism]

fantastic compilation, thank you! kinda wished it included a little bit more of iceblock, but that's just my personal opinion. i loved his dry humor and could not stop laughing all throughout his run! hope to see him again at GDQ soon :)

[@ThinkyBoi42]

Is it sad that Mohawk looks... kinda fun? ..once your stomach is empty, of course Edit: once not one

[@Leto_0]

53:00 Cue the Matrix scene: "What does it look like to you?" "I just see platforms"

[@ghostproxy11]

They should run Shifters from 3DO.. Horrible game but strangely addicting and stunning visuals

[@formerlyknownasmousecopp4367]

9:05 Elden Ring is a reboot of this game

[@Salted_Fysh]

Honestly, I don't understand why Mohawk is in the awful games block. It looks like an incredibly technical game and I don't see any glaring faults with it. I'd like to see more runners ditch 10 hour long RNG runs and pick something like this up. Also Phantom Menace might objectively qualify as an awful game but I have fond memories of it as a kid. :p

[@colecostie]

The main problem with Mohawk is that the game is a fun speed game, but the regular game is unfair, confusing, and very, very nauseating.

[@galloviking4766]

I actually have that Star Wars game. I didn't find it that bad when I was 10.

[@HunterIsRad]

“I’m ready to yeti!” ~Random viewer

[@AdAce21]

[@chapstickwarrior9277]

AHHHH

[@nikro8275]

Someone else needs to run Mohawk and Headphone Jack. PJ is lookin really lonely on those leaderboards. Also that run is still the WR.

[@jameskyle3466]

Damn, that Mohawk & Headphone Jack bassline though...

[@drizzypuffs523]

Don't even know how to make GDQ better but THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!

[@MforMovesets]

That garbage RNG in that Noid game, oof. I wouldnt even attempt games like that.

[@terminusest9179]

48:05 What are they actually laughing about?

[@PugsWellington]

The game is making a series of sounds like the game is dying, it's hard to hear cause the game sound is low but you can hear it if you're willing to risk their voices blowing out your ear.

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

It's a shame that 3rd game is so bad, it looks really cool.

[@ThonyHedgehog]

Awful Games Block Highlight is longer than the regular highlight x)

[@colin_henry1]

Who’s hyped for sgdq!??!

[@lusotuber]

The Phantom Menace is not an awful game... Oh, you're playing the PSX version. Nevermind then...

[@DarkenedAuras7653]

How the hell does the relatively short Awful block have 2.5x the highlights of the regular marathon? Should they just change the whole marathon to Awful GDQ because these are clearly more enjoyable.

[@Jazzmofo]

39:37 listen to the beat of the lasers

[@OrcoDevelopment]

Is there an awful games block this year? I can't tell based on the schedule.

[@sonkeharder2392]

I think they are only in AGDQ in winter, not in SGDQ in the summer

Oh shit, Petedorr ran Urban Yeti? I used to watch his videos all the time! That makes the run even better.

[@penguin_acesgaming9483]

Whoa, I've watched SaintMillions run of Demons Souls a million times for my own speedrunning! Its awesome to see him running other things

Virtual Hydlide brings back tainted memories.

[@Quamikaze]

I can't believe Virtual Hydlide was shipped, that is the most nauseating thing I've seen in my life.

[@davido2161]

ngl, the Mohawk game looks like it was an interesting idea that just needed some more polish. The gravity mechanics actually look pretty innovative, although I admit they are a bit nauseating.

[@sophiegrey9576]

I loved the posing at the end of each stage in the trio the punch run

[@minerturtle4550]
