Zem literally explained this entire 2 and a half hour long category, whilst playing it, then does an opera performance with the couch mostly refusing to explain the tricks when he prompts them to. Literal rac goat
@@ItsKimmyP Like half the comment section spoiled it, why would you expect to read comments and not get spoiled? Also, why be mad at the only comment doing something useful and providing a timecode?
1:41:06 as soon as he started saying this, I had the feeling he was talking about Tanner. I went to school with him, and was such a great person. Thank you Xem for honoring him.
Xem managed to technically Platinum an entire game in less than 3 hours (he didn't access the Insomniac Museum upon getting all skill points which counts as a trophy though) *and* belted out an incredible opera performance. Amazing stuff.
Oh it gets better, if you wanna see how fast he can actually platinum the game hes done that and its even faster than this! theres a video on his channel about it!
So fun story! I was running stream tech during prep for this run and noticed something odd - because of the way colors work in the game, it was hard to see, but there was a solid line of 60 pixels missing right in the middle of the game. Nobody there had seen this issue before, but the rest of the tech team jumped on it and fixed it so fast there was literally no delay. It's genuinely amazing to see how much they do without anyone ever knowing!
Always love to see Xem on AGDQ. Best speedrunner in RaC and is a great guy. EDIT: Followup after finishing the video. Xem is a legend. Fantastic performance at the end as well. This one will go down in AGDQ history.
I was listening to Avenged literally this whole week while traveling and somehow this went completely over my head until reading this comment lmao. Thank you for pointing this out
I mean realize that this run literally happened the same day it was uploaded. There's no way they would have been able to do that right away especially for an unscripted event.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 is live right now! www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/
Shoutouts to GDQ for letting me back on stage for my 9TH Ratchet and Clank run.
I hope you all enjoyed it
You deserve it man, hope to see your 10th time out there :D (Maybe there will be something special for 10th time)

that's literally just the dynamic the four of us have after years of being friends with one another, no reason to through off the vibe for the cameras
Even in his streams Xem’s ability to speak so well while also performing difficult skips and gameplay has always impressed me
Yes, dude is so incredibly well spoken in general
Seriously, the couch might as well not have been there at all. Xem basically solo'd the commentary as well 😅
Talking for 2+ hours then singing an opera is elite stuff
Opera starts at 2:52:26
ty for spoiling that they reached the dono goal

@@ItsKimmyP If you don't want spoilers don't read the comments until you're finished with the video.

that opera performance was actually fucking amazing

I'm so glad I got to watch this live. Really fun run, and the song was definitely one of the best moments in GDQ history.
So glad the opera incentive was met!
Xem singing Madame ButterQwark is PEAK!
The headset fumble and recovery was great.
2:02:20 YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! Thank you whoever that was!

Watching you randomly singing on streams got me so exciting and you DEFINITELY gave your audience what they want. See you on the next stream!
Incredible run! Nice bonus song at the end AND you raised $50k during your time slot. WOW!
Was watching the leadup practice that Xem has been doing and he was READY for this run!
The Stream, this community, and that AMAZING performance had me cracking up, tearing up and all around really glad I caught Xem live at GDQ

Xem's greatest comeback at GDQ, poggers run and best Qwark opera performance ever!
This run was so fun to watch! And the opera performance at the end was phenomenal!!
The Quark opera was hilarious. Absolutely amazing!
The run was an amazing watch, incredible display of skill and mastery of the game! And the opera performance was a perfect cherry on top! Y'all rock!
legendary scenes and my boy Xemmy looking fire
The couch didn't help at all with the commentary! Poor Xem was left alone out there during rareataniam grind 😭
I'm a simple man. RACdaddy plays RAC, I'm there. 3hrs. Is a bonus. Literally said Wow at that trick 35min in
And a sub-estimate. Xem is one of the GOATs
Always love to see Xem on AGDQ. Best speedrunner in RaC and is a great guy.

What an incredible run! I think GC was the only Ratchet game I ever got 100% on, and it did take me forever.
This has to be peak GDQ
I played this game so much when I was young and it's incredible to see it blasted through this fast!
xeeemmm ive been watching you forever im so excited to watch this run lets goo
Killing it with the vods this time around
This is definitely one of the coolest GDQ runs ever!! And the incentive is so awesome as well. Lots of love to Xem
Really great video, gameplay, vibes, energy, commentary and of course, the operaaa~~!! 10K donation was insane!
Xem is the GOAT, always love his runs and ability to commentate at the same time
Let's ROCK Xem! Amazing stuff as always!
So much love for Xem and for the couches he puts together.
Oh wow, this was really entertaining! Xem is one of a kind.
Lovin this channel!
Selcouth at 54:26 "let me see if I can do this"
*absolutely crushes this* 😅
it was pretty cool to see this live B) the ending was worth the wait
13:50 Not only were they on good terms. They shared an office building.
The quark performance is iconic. Love it
Oh my gosh, I love Phantom of the Opera!
This was such a great run!
Happy to have you in our little country
Amazing commentary
What a show. 👏👏👏
this run is fire!
the a7x reference at 1:56:48 im dying
I was listening to Avenged literally this whole week while traveling and somehow this went completely over my head until reading this comment lmao. Thank you for pointing this out
The best run by far :D so much fun
2:52:00 Opera!!!!
THE G.O.A.T. RATCHET & CLANK GAME.
Bravo Xem! Such an opera performance (with the acting part too!) after almost three hours of intese gameplay! He really is incredible! 💯🥇
score one for the ADHD procrastinators
I would love to one day see a Colab with Xem and Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker who also is an amazing opera singer
Nice one Xem!
He's the GOAT, OUR GOAT
57:20 yeah i remember fighting this guy by throwing the upgraded spider mechs that became little tanks that shot him while i hid in a corner
Legendary
Wait, Xem moved to my country? Let's fricking go!
lets go xem, nice run!
58:00 you can take their momentum... and die with it
The goat
Of course the R&C fans would praise a city for having nice bridges 😂
2nd time whatching the play, first ratchet ever play
LETS GO PITTSBURGH!
Yoooo Rac2 Max% let's GOOOOOOO!!!
Woooo xem!!!
funniest part: 2:53:14
57:53 I had to take like 2-3 year break when I was 7~ to beat this cuz it was that hard 😭
Aww yiss!! My boi Xem back on the GDQ stage!
Getting that Canal City 2 skip jeeeez
W stream
BTW put closed captions. I am deaf.
Auto generated will do for now, but yes they will need official captions to show who is speaking.

I’m imagining wrench% being a thing.
Yknow, wrench only
not only is it a thing, xem ran it at GDQ in 2022, and it's exactly as painful as you think it is
Ggs
big FIRST
This game was probably the most important from my childhood. 🥹
