Ultima VI: The False Prophet by squibbons in

[@Ryan-9000]

The end of every sentence sounds like a question xD "This one time? In band camp?"

[@Rayeo_TNJ]

Sounds like the goths from South Park

[@killamentos]

yeah, first thing that came to my mind was "she is pretty goth" XD

[@Paratath]

Ending every sentence with an upward inflectionnn??

[@yugen]

ending every sentence with aN UPWARD INFLECTIONNNN??

[@aSamWow]

run looks fun, but the damn signal cuts out every 30 seconds

[@PhoenixHogg]

NO SIGNAL

[@DPush420]

I'm disappointed that the closed captioning doesn't end every sentence with a question maaark?

[@DPush420]

Boat song is my new ringtone.

[@Jargonfox]

My favourite game, NO SIGNAL

[@MindWandererB]

Yeah, they need to do this run again when they have their setup fixed and we can actually see all of it.

[@perrypossum]

"Right here, to our left is the ethereal void... thank you" I loved this run

[@eyeseeyou913]

the music in this game is so awesome and nostalgic... I think stones is still my favorite (it's the one at 10:36 )

[@natecw4164]

I was honestly only able to listen for 2 minuuttess??

[@eobet]

Highly entertaining run, with amazing commentary!

[@sethshort1098]

great run but the valley girl style uptalking is killing it for me

[@The_Supervillain]

Awesome run. Hilarious commentary too, sucks about the capture issues bu most of it is still there!

[@incjumpStARtR]

I actually really love the commentary it's funny because of how rediculous the game's story and quests are from a speedrunning perspective. I just hate that tech couldn't resolve the signal issue.

[@omnisel]

Upward Inflection: The False Prophet by squibbons for a half hour AGDQ 2018 god help

[@pandadotrar]

This is just soooo good, hahaha, GJ Squibbons

[@Darien0Shields]

Why does the screen disappear with "No Signal" every time she opens the item menu or goes to another zone? Makes it a lot more difficult to follow :(

[@cloudyshoe]

The game changes resolution when it goes to the menu. The capture equipment GDQ was using couldn't switch resolutions fast enough.

[@Odog8501]

Hello darkness my old friend

[@mesogot]

I was waiting for this run, but between the constant NO SIGNAL and the barely audible voice of the runner, I just can not.

[@frostedbricks1828]

I thought this run was one of the hardest ones to watch because she ends every sentence like thisss?

[@ilikeboom100]

mfw spoony no longer makes videos ):

[@cruzlawson]

Betrayal!

[@LazyBastard69]

What's a paladin?

[@ionic_iris]

I get that she was trolling, but seriously, save it for something that ISN'T a charity event. World doesn't revolve around her, it's like she totally missed the point of the marathon. You don't try and aggravate viewers when you are raising money for charity...

[@DasPuppy]

Very hard to listen to the commentary.. Sorry - would have loved to watch this speedrun.

[@Agora13]

CRAWWWWWWWWLINGGGGGGGGGGGG INNNNNNNN MYYYYYYYYYY SKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN??? THEEEEEESE WOUNDSSSSSSSSSSS WILLLLLLLLLL NEEEEEEEEEVER HEALLLLLLLLLLLLL???

[@AlexTheLate]

Agora1 reading that like the runner haha

[@ultama7]

ROFL

[@lort9458]

lmfao X'D

[@allooutrick8266]

Why is this so funny? Lol

[@egg.princess]

This was my favorite speed run of AGDQ 2018. Thanks you squibons, you are truly hilarioussss????

[@AzaIndustries]

Upward inflectiooonnn.

[@frontiercat8568]

GDQ's late night speedruns get a little too real.

[@Phediuk]

Why the SNES version? All of the console ports of the Ultima games are complete butcheries.

[@Magus12000BC]

Phediuk - You clearly haven't played the Master System port of Ultima 4.

[@FrancoisTremblay]

I guess because it's faster? Also you didn't end your last statement with a question?

[@caesaria]

explained at 26:20

[@MrBlakBunny]

yeh decided to check out one of her twitch streams, she really doesn't speak like that, wonder what happened, Must of been nerves, still hope she comes back next time

[@Fybrizo]

Hellooooo...?

[@bassdawg441]

Gotta love the speedrun from Cartoon Network star Mandy

[@AdowTatep]

You guys know that the "no signal" thing is because the game isn't literally sending any signal because it is loading and it's only a black screen, right?

[@ZipplyZane]

I don't think so. She talks like she's still playing parts while the screen says "no signal." I think there's something wrong with either the game, the console, or the connection. Also, normal games don't drop signal, even when the screen is blank. I'm pretty sure it's just how the console works. And that's more evidence that something was going wrong.

[@JamesStocks]

Kinda - often when it says No Signal you can hear sound effects and see light from the television shining on her. Might be a several-second delay for it to pick up the signal coming back

[@jawstrock2215]

the no signal happens everytime she goes in or leaves the menu(specially item/equip menu) and the systems takes quite a bit to get the new signal after losing it. Long periods of no signal is a quick menu usage and moving out... so yeah losing quite a bit of the gameplay.

[@TravisTev]

Normally, I'd expect a console to always produce a stable video signal, but maybe the game code does some _really_ funky things with the picture processing unit during menu loading. But still, it takes their capturing equipment way too long to resync. However, I also saw intermittent “no signal” in several of the other SNES runs from this event where they definitely shouldn't have occurred, so maybe they had some equipment issues as well.

[@KyoshoLP]

Nah, the game is runs at a different screen resolution in the menus. On CRT televisions, that's not a problem. But on modern LCDs and capture devices, it takes them a moment to detect and switch to the new resolution. So the runner and people on the couch can see the game just fine on their CRT. When she's going from game screen, to menu, back to game screen again, the capture device takes even longer. That's why sometimes the No Signal would come up, then go to a black screen, then go to No Signal again, and finally back to the game. Hopefully the GDQ staff can find a capture setup that handles resolution switching better in the future. There's actually quite a few games that switch resolutions on the fly.

[@morris2934]

I love this run

[@karius85]

I for one thought this was genuinely funny

[@dragonchiId]

Oh, right, haha, we all got memed. Yes, THE BEST thing for a charity event is someone DELIBERATELY being annoying to drive away the audience. I'm sure AGDQ saw that as some kind of victory. "Ha ha ha, this memeing got a bunch of our donors to turn off the stream in frustration, joke's on THEM!"

[@xDOLPHINTV]

Have you ever wanted to punch a video

[@TheDarkalkymist]

oh this game is so easy to break, even without glitching it

[@swr3603]

great host

[@Belmoon]

This is arguably the best commentary of the whole event.

[@RowanMerrick]

This run is awesome. The runner is hilarious:)

[@Kialas12]

Squibbons, great run and super entertaining. thank you for the time on gdq!

[@yugen]

actually this is actually the post where I actually say actually, actually

[@sparrowthesissy2186]

This shit was so funny. Lord British is treated like a genius in gaming history, and he kind of is, but this game makes nearly no sense at all. Sometimes even great programmers should just team up with writers and not try to come up with all of the "puzzles" and quests by themselves.

[@toeffy]

I found this run very delightful.

[@lucascecil6287]

Really looked forward to see I g this run. But the way they talked was just like nails on a chalk board.

[@robertparker3357]

That runner reminds me of the goth kids from south park

[@ZipplyZane]

I would guess it's possible to speed hack the English game, or to copy over the text boxes to the Japanese one. Maybe an idea for the next time this is run, so we can laugh at the bad translation.

[@ildyil1748]

This was a very entertaining run. But the inflection??? It kinda ruins it???

[@MrFathead]

I think this was the worst run of the agdq, the runner annoyed me a bit and the signal kept cutting out. I don't know how they let that keep happening, no signal is pretty annoying.

[@Rstraub12]

Very bizarre perspective in this game. Speaking of bizarre, the commentary is both calming and irritating at the same time haha.

[@ZipplyZane]

The uptalk doesn't bother me. It's just a part of the sarcastic character she's playing, and that character is hilarious. Sure, I'd prefer the run without it. There are other ways to do that character. But it's not that big a deal. The constant connection problems, however, are definitely annoying. I hope that there's another recording that doesn't have these problems, and that the AGDQ people rush out the fixed version of this stream. Because that is hard to watch.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Maybe it's karma for not naming the character Spoony. Anyway, definitely agree on the runner's character (a bit much and only funny at times) and no signal.

[@Derppi]

To be honest after you got used to it, it was pretty funny.

[@gapegape1]

Can't watch this one. Most annoying runner commentary I've ever heard.

[@PhantomBanker]

It’s Log, it’s Log, it’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood...DAMMIT!

[@Nap712]

Please leave your character at home.

[@NeonLightning]

Squibbon's voice is annoyiinngg?

[@MystraeliS]

That run was hilarious AF. xD

[@Gengosyma]

BLUEGLASS IS LOVE

[@DrumstickFL]

easiest dislike I've ever giveeeen??

[@Dahgne]

boatsong is the real avatar

[@christop3]

i was excited for this run, but the long eeeeeeeeeeeee on every word really got to me, couldnt finish it. :/

[@PocoQuinn]

okay even if this is a troll I just can't listen to it was trying to relax tonight but this is just annoying

[@DrDensetsu]

Thumbs up to this badass chick that got everybody up in arms about the uptalking in the comments. Y'all got memed.

[@amaroshiro]

Amazing and funny Run :D

[@mvamorim]

The no signal thing is more anoying than her!

[@TheLastPhoen1x]

Don't know what ppl's problem, i enjoyed the run.

[@OddlyIncredible]

Had to stop the video about six minutes into the run. Her speaking style just grated on my nerves. Thumbing briefly through the comments it's clear that I'm not the only one.

[@fafetico]

I understand that there is no reason to talk like that, but it wasn't a problem for me at all. The commentary is actually really funny and it makes the run more enjoyable.

[@analogmoz]

So....spoken in English? But game in Japanese? And the next thing we do? Is the next thing? Ugh. Loved this game in the early 1990's but so few reviews/playthroughs that are relatable to old Gen-X players. Regardless, good on the player but not for me.

[@sizemoreross]

It's almost like it's a speedrun and Japanese is faster for that purpose.

[@vivianviolet]

[spoony flashbacks]

[@elbiggus]

I read the comments and thought "it can't be *that* bad, surely", but I managed 30 seconds before I had to stop? Worst commentary ever? A shame, as I was looking forward to this one?

[@Nikanaiko]

Super big shame to see one of the few girls at GDQ getting so much hate. Not sure whether I'm more frustrated that she felt the need to do the valley girl voice when she's representing a minority in the community or whether I'm more frustrated that there are so few girls that it's such a big deal when one of them pulls an ultimately harmless prank like this.

[@RASK1904]

my new bed time asmr...

[@astufi]

Ummmm wut?

[@StarLightNow]

Amazing run! Couldn't stop laughing.

[@CrazyHelicopter]

40% :)

[@hendoe1742]

Easily the best run and runner i've seen so far from this years AGDQ!

[@hendoe1742]

?

[@samuraichilton]

Unfortunate who did the run

[@demilembias2527]

Squibbons is the chaotic trickster God of goth girls

[@monotonedmika17]

one of the unforgetablle moments of AGDQ 2018. wanted to watch the run but had to mute the audio. it was un-fucking-bearable. like listening to a spring going boing boing boing.

[@cwolf208]

Even done as a troll, the manner of speaking? in this video? is obnoxious? What a waste of a timeslot.

[@Ak1M1223]

Whuaaaaaat

[@joemurray]

Game looks interesting but the whole commentary just put me off. I couldn't watch it

[@AkimboYojimbosama]

26:25 - "Super FOMicom" When you wanna be a women you delete your junk, not the Broca's area of the brain.

[@pt8306]

Most annoying runner in the world.

[@Safer7Sephiroth]

Fail runner is fail.

[@Thorpfosten]

The runner talks like Todd Barry! I like it.

[@lefthandovRA]

Lol this was funny I enjoyed it I dont get all this hate going on in here

[@ElectricNikkiGames]

she's cute, seems like a smart and nice girl, i've followed her twitter and twitch, but i'm not really interested in hearing her commentary for the whole thing.

[@labber]

wow these comments are comedy gold, all of you should consider going on tour. so original too.

[@TheFuckingBanshee]

Don't know why everybody is having a go at her speaking, I personally thought the commentary was fucking hilarious and added a lot

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

Don't really care for this run. Runner sounds like she took 3 prozac before entering the room.
