Something I didn't mention in the video is "glitch mode." Loading a previous save post any puzzles results in them being in a "glitched state" where their starting position is not the same as a fresh start. For that reason, all runs must start from a fresh restart of the program according to the rules. It is not actually required to sing to have a valid run. It's a joke. The runners love Berta. There would be no King's Quest games without her, and all of us look up to her. The joke of the Franzia Song is that Berta would not care (at all) about people beating her game quickly. It is not an implication that she is actually an alcoholic.

@@timothymcleanCurrently, the only glitch we have found with it is where the volcano timer in chapter 6 doesn't stop counting down when you restart at ch1. What happens is it erupts and you get trollsella talking as Valanice and other such funny things. Unfortunately, it seems to be useless and inconsistent at best to execute. I invite anyone who wants to sleuth through the code or game to do so. There has to be something there.

So if you want to speedrun King's Quest III you have to play Ocean Man while you wait for the unskipable cutscene to end, meanwhile in King's Quest VII you will need to sing both the Franzia Song and the End Credit Sing yourself? I didn't know KQ was such a musical franchise.

It is such a blessing to get a longer video from you like this. Not only just because you do an extremely good job at editing at collaborating with the people you're interviewing for a great story flow, but because I get distracted easily from documentary videos bc of my ADHD symptoms I can keep coming back to this and rewatch it and get more and more of the tiny fascinating story details each rewatch. I often listen to your videos when I'm going through especially stressful times or I have too much anxiety to sleep, and they always cheer me up and make me feel like things are organized and okay and people in this world support eachother on all kinds of things. I really love your videos more than any documentary maker. thank you for your work.

Yours is the only video game-focused channel I have notifications on for. I am amazed that you can keep making videos with such high production value and so much research put into them. These are some of the most enjoyable to watch documentaries I've ever seen, period - and that's saying something, because it's coming from someone who despises playing adventure games. I think the cherry on top that really emphasizes this series' quality is the amount of interviews with prominent players you include, as this helps better understand the people behind the runs (as opposed to if you were just DM'ing them questions and integrating the answers into the script). The only thing I hope for at this point is that you don't burn out. I am more than aware that making long, highly edited videos is a very taxing endeavor. Make sure to rest every once in a while, as constantly thinking about your content is a surefire way to go insane. Best of luck.

KQ7 is one of my favourite games with a beautiful soundtrack. I still have the original CD and a 486 PC. I came by this video because I was listening to "Bountiful Woods" (as I sometimes do). I played this game so many times that I knew all the tricks on level 2 so it was so awesome to see them here and be like "YES!!!", but I never tried to speedrun because I like to game at the normal pace and stop and enjoy the music, listening to the dialogue. Also never understood why people would find pleasure in speedrunning. After seeing this video and all the chill people I think Im gonna give it a go! Oh and the ending brought a tear to my eye then a huge laugh. That song and all the guys singing and Admiral Jay comedy timing coughing was perfect! Haha. Cheers!

Every single one of your videos is a joy to watch. Don't tell anyone else, but I'm pretty sure you're the only channel I've hit the bell for notifications. KQ7 was one of the first adventure games I tried to play by myself (that could never finish because I was 6-7 years old and probably too young to fully understand what was happening 😅) so while not at all my fave, it's still a nostalgia hit and it was wicked watching the stories behind the speedruns. I'm forever changed just by knowing the Franzia Song™exists. If you, or the the other runners feel like you need more lines or rhymes to spice it up for future songs, in Australia, we call boxed wine Goon Bags or Goon Sacks. Make of that what you will. I'm sure Berta would approve.

Point-and-click games are not what I think of when I hear the word speedrunning, but damn if it isn't just as complex and time consuming as any other genre. I have mad respect to all the speedrunners, takes some serious dedication. Also, 27:38 was completely understandable.

To be fair, there are some p&c speedruns I find boring (but, of course, I don't make videos about those). Though that's true of any game genre, I suppose. Thanks for the comment!

How could i have missed a new video!? :O Amazing work as always. I just love that you focus on the runners, their friendship and take your time to explain something in depth instead of speed running throught it :D Thanks for the content

Great video as always. You really know how to captures the passion powering this community in every one of your videos! This one is no different. Love that ending, too. Though I have not played this Sierra title before, I think I'll go pick it up now. Test out my luck against Sirocco.

holy friggin crap I've gone for decades struggling to recall the name of a game I played as a kid that was all I remember about it being "point and click" and "girl turns into a troll" -- and then I clicked on this video.

This was so good! My grandma got me hooked on King's Quest and was the MVP of games, creating maps and noting where to go and what to do to advance creating her own cheat notebook❤❤❤

It's nice to be able to take guys that speed run 10 hours a day and cut it down to one video. So then I can work all day and watch it after because I'm too tired to do it myself.

idk why your vids aren't more popular -- the kings quest series is great. I only know of it from your vids. Keep up the good work

I saw this video go up just before I had something else to do, so I was looking forward to watching it soon after. Then Fiona came by and wrecked us. Cue power being lost for about two weeks and internet just being restored today. Needless to say, I rushed over here soon after. XD Amazing work as always! I love learning about the small things the community does to make their games distinct, such as the singing 'requirements.' While I knew some things about the King's Quest series, I must not have ever seen VII before, because the animation style took me completely by surprise. It'll be fun to eventually play it myself!

I have remembered this game recently and spend hours searching for what it is having to type the weirdest things into search. On a random workday a random brain fart got this vivid memory of playing this game and i had to find out what it is, even though i haven’t thought about it decades
