Everyone has something that they love. For some it's sports, for others it is movies or books. For these guys, its specific video games.They love to learn every aspect of the game. And they try to beat it as fast as possible. They have raised over 1 Million Dollars for Cancer doing this. What have the people making fun of them done? Nothing.
Incredible how much more "mainstream" speedrunning has become since Twitch really blew up. The idiots mocking the old school speedrunners and stream VODs as nerdy must be eating their words now. GDQ is huge.
Imagine spending your entire life, replaying a video game over and over again and then actually feeling accomplished 🤣🤣. God what a waste of existence. Truly we've reached a new depth of degeneracy.
@@theanimehub2180 Better than the millions upon millions of people in the developed world alone who waste their days working minimum wage jobs for bosses that don't give a shit about them doing work that doesn't matter in the slightest.
The speed run is impressive in and of itself, but I really love how openly dorky all of these people are. Funkdoc's ridiculous coordination mixed with the cringe factor of everyone in the room made me sit all the way through to the end. That very clever manipulation of the ice spell toward the end made me look at the game differently- Funkdoc is the fuckin Glenn Gould of Castlevania 3.
For future AGDQ, please keep the commentators talking to a minimum. It ruins the playthrough and you can tell that some of the players are annoyed because they want to share some of their knowledge about the game or the levels and skips
That was a seriously impressive run. I am not a speed runner at all, but I can totally respect what you're doing here. LOVED the Sypha shortcuts. From one gamer to another, game on! And much respect.
I actually didn’t mind the announcer, I just appreciated when Funkdoc started talking. You can tell he loves what he does. His passion comes through in his voice.
Why would them being a nerd be insulting? Just because they rose over 1m, doesn't remove social status. I'm proud of being a nerd/geek, and no amount of money will remove that status from me.
Get over myself? My comment was a reply to someone who was offended at the fact that they're calling the runners "nerds". Who the fuck cares? Nerd hasn't been an insult for like 15 years.
My god the sound is horrific for 2 reasons; 1) Blueglass's INSANELY annoying, loud laugh 2) The Count won't shut up. "1 Comment, AH AH AH, 2 comments, AH AH!"
Grant is actually the slowest category because you have to go through two extra stages to collect him. He is faster on almost every other level, but that huge detour makes him slower overall. Funkdoc played as Sypha here because she was donated for, though. ^_^
I tried to compile the list of the best Final Fantasy games in ascending order but I have no idea what he said for some of them. Not FF9, Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics, Pony Fantasy 6, Front Mission 5, Final Fantasy Legends 2, Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, Pocket Rocket, Hans Gruber, Halo, Goof Troop, Final Fantasy Legends, Super Metroid Animals, Rainbow Dash, Quest 64, Madden '95, Final Fantasy Tactics Evolved?, Dragon Quest, Contra Force, Black Ops II, Sky Patrol, Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, Ernest Evans, Ofter Math and Yoko(?), Mirrored, Kingdom Hearts, I Wanna Be The Guy, The Bouncer, Chrono Trigger, Sonic 2006, Mystic Quest, Fear Rhythm?, Final Fantasy 9, Lost of Day Saints?, NES Commie-katze?, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 8, Demon Rush, Super Mario RPG, Skylight, Die Hard, F Zero X, Final Fantasy X-2, Dragon Box Z?, The Box
the white crystal lets you see the invisible platform in the mansion. but since both blue and red also do that, i suppose i can see how you overlooked that.
yes, he has the wr in any% warped (though the new null egg glitch puts into question how the category should be defined lol) and technically in any% warped one hand (because no one else runs it, but he put work into it still)
iswear to you, that the Girl in orange in the back always chuckles at Duck Funk each time he makes them remarks on how he plans his strategy or how he almost got killed and you can totally see this girl in every Duck Funk speedrun an she does the samething always. do check it out.
Jeez that announcer is annoying! you don't have to read EVERY SINGLE donation you know. The game should be the main attraction not some language-butchering guy in the background.
You gotta announce.some are donating money . gotta be good to the fans. But yes maybe like how other speed runners have the scrolling text of tweeters..

Funk is a saint. I couldn't keep my patience with an announcer talking over my entire run.
Funkdoc does fantastic commentary on his runs...when the announcer shuts up & lets him actually talk.
I love how excited funkdoc gets when he nails a good skip or a tough jump! Really adds to the run

@@theanimehub2180 Being good at a game is based. Watching anime is true degeneracy. No effort required.
Is the announcer Dracula?
Yes.
DV Swiatek Yeah Dracula made a special appearance
I wish I could watch this run because I line this guy's playing. but the announcer gave me a headache from watching castlevania 1 and 4.
HHaha
Nah he's the gay alucard
I love it when he says "Yes!"

Well said
This game is brutally tough. Impressive run!
6:10 dat timing tho
oh my god,I didn´t realize that watching the run,what a piece of synchronicity
That was a seriously impressive run. I am not a speed runner at all, but I can totally respect what you're doing here. LOVED the Sypha shortcuts. From one gamer to another, game on! And much respect.
I love how excited he gets. Very passionate about his craft. Go funkdoc!!
One of the coolest soundtracks ever.
GDQs have come a LOOOOOONG way since this. Run and runner were good though!
you've gotten fat.
Watching you guys makes me realize I know nothing about games and I always love to learn more!
My favorite thing about the video is the beginning. He's a bigger nerd than me and yet, walks up with swag.
I love watching these old GDQ videos and seeing how far we've come! What an amazing ride it has been from the first million to now
Nothing but the best from FunkDoc. Sinister1, PJ, and FunkDoc are my top fav runners.
wow funkdoc made this game look way too easy, believe me, IT`S NOT !!
You rock Funkdoc!
Funkdoc is levels above . insane patience and timing .
It's cool to see how much the run has changed since then
Quite an insane run, and great reflexes on that last bat. That's truly taking command of the game.
I always like to watch a good castlevania speedrun while im smoking a fat join after hard day - work.
Nice idea
I prefer blunts and Pocoyo, but hey any plan is a good one next to none at all.
This guy has the most showmanship of any speed runners that I've seen.
This dudes my hero. I been playin this game for years and still aint beat it.
I actually didn’t mind the announcer, I just appreciated when Funkdoc started talking. You can tell he loves what he does. His passion comes through in his voice.
Been waiting on this one; love Funkdoc's runs. Thanks!
I was doing that quick kill on the boss of level 6 back in 1991.
The Morning Star speed run. Well played, Belmont.
Funkdoc is awesome, if he would stream more I'm always watch
funkdoc seems like such a good dude, a great representative of the community that's for sure
I love these videos wish I had mates as cool as this. I'd love to chill out play old school games and eat pizza
I love that Castlevania is one of the few games that people want the sound turned up!
mesmerized for 34 minutes. well done!
25:36 loolololol his improvised tune makes it sound like a sea shanty.
That was a NICE run. Very impressive!
Funkdoc is awesome to watch!
they have raised over a million dollars so far, and people call them nerds? People need to get a fuckin life.
Why would them being a nerd be insulting? Just because they rose over 1m, doesn't remove social status. I'm proud of being a nerd/geek, and no amount of money will remove that status from me.
***** everbody gots to classify themselves as something, were all just people get over yourself
Get over myself? My comment was a reply to someone who was offended at the fact that they're calling the runners "nerds". Who the fuck cares? Nerd hasn't been an insult for like 15 years.
Don't complain to me about your own problems. I didn't tell you guys to reply to my comment.
Internet struggle is real
Great run of a really difficult game.
1:44 Blueglass makes funcdock lose 3 seconds on his run ;)
yess
Castlevania 3 is by far the hardest of all three NES titles, yet he makes it look soo easy!!
The whip at 240p on a black background looks trippy because the phosphor illumination is more obvious, especially on a CRT TV.
My god the sound is horrific for 2 reasons;
1) Blueglass's INSANELY annoying, loud laugh
2) The Count won't shut up. "1 Comment, AH AH AH, 2 comments, AH AH!"
Blueglass seems like such a cool dude :)
I agree!
Yeah I like him too. I'd watch him play Ecco even though I'm not a fan of the game.
Grant is actually the slowest category because you have to go through two extra stages to collect him. He is faster on almost every other level, but that huge detour makes him slower overall. Funkdoc played as Sypha here because she was donated for, though. ^_^
Funkdoc is a sweetheart and Blueglass is mellow in this clip.
This man is a person of interest in several states. For SURE.
We need Funkdoc back at GDQ. Thats what GDQ is missing.
Damn thats awesome got me beat by 20 :35 . That's some great button work.
14:55 Dude on far left starts with a finger in the ear to a pinky in the nose faint to the mouth...STILL EATING HIS BOOGERS!!!
Incredible. Thanks for the vid.
Funkdoc rocks, epic CV3 run.
impressive and a good cause
Id love to do a Ninja Gaiden I, II, or III for the NES for u guys!
You gotta be good at the game though. So you wouldn't be able to do it.
and how do you know Im not good at it??? Ive beaten the game without dying.
Is that guy narrating the only one that can read in that room? Please get someone else to read!!!
The problem is that he's reading off the entire comment every time. Other announcers only read certain comments or parts of comments.
The announcer sounds like the voice in Street Fighter 1 :D
oowwww raigh!
A great run ruined by Igor loving the sound of his own voice.
*Hardest room in the game*
*speeds through untouched in 20 game seconds*
Oh, Funkdoc....

Why compile a list for them? They're still on the website...
Huhbuhduh link please?
This was a really awesome run
Ha ! Tom Votava ! It doesn't even surprise me.. What a beast !
Nice run! keep up the good work.
Love this game. It's infuriating. This guy nails it but theres a lot of different routes. That's why it's a classic.
Beautiful run
So happy someone donated for BlueGlass on the couch.
Unbelievable! You're genious!
9:05 Dude on far left starts the booger eating cycle AGAIN!!! It's so habitual!
Great run. Nice work. Also, you look like Maculay!
respect for speed running the rising tower like that^^
love the music of this game.
Blue Splash! HOLY LIGHTNING!
Funkdoc is too good at Castlevania speedruns. #Swagruns
The runner reminds me off of Micheal Meyers off of the SNL skit called sprockets.
25:36 holy diver improv singing! i like your twist on it XD
the white crystal lets you see the invisible platform in the mansion. but since both blue and red also do that, i suppose i can see how you overlooked that.
I had that game growing up and could only beat it with Grant. I certainly couldn't do it without losing any lives though.
Happy birthday 🎂
The speedrunner Lee_sda has done a couple of one handed yoshi's island any% runs, they're really fascinating to watch
yes, he has the wr in any% warped (though the new null egg glitch puts into question how the category should be defined lol) and technically in any% warped one hand (because no one else runs it, but he put work into it still)
That was awesome funk
12:32 "This room is really scary" Yeah, i remember it. I hate that room back then when i was like 12 years.
beyond impressed
Geez, and all these years I tried to hit Drac (first form) in the head. Looks like I never needed to do that.
Think that's only w Sypha not sure though.
Great Run Funkdoc =))
14:30 love how the slaphead almost fall asleep all the time hahahaha
Super!!! congratulations from chile!
that castlevania game is my all time favorite game I love it the most. next would have to be SOTN.
Awesome, its finally up
They need an announcer that speaks english I thought he kept saying Solitude glitch like a skyrim thing
iswear to you, that the Girl in orange in the back always chuckles at Duck Funk each time he makes them remarks on how he plans his strategy or how he almost got killed and you can totally see this girl in every Duck Funk speedrun an she does the samething always. do check it out.
Let's play a drinking game. Take a shot everytime Funkdoc says the word "Hard".
Jeez that announcer is annoying! you don't have to read EVERY SINGLE donation you know. The game should be the main attraction not some language-butchering guy in the background.
You gotta announce.some are donating money . gotta be good to the fans. But yes maybe like how other speed runners have the scrolling text of tweeters..
Aaaaaand... Jazz hands from Sypha
i read your comment and didn't even notice what you meant for 27 minutes of the video. though i'm curious about your question also.
None of the other people who weren't running didn't bother to put the sound up.
that guy in the yellow shirt is always in the gallery. Does he do his own speed run game?
Blue Glass, the guy in the yellow shirt, typically runs Ecco games.
Hes a great guy just his presence in these videos makes them better for me for some reason
Ecco the dolphin.
YSG is my god.. Blueglass, yellow shirt guy and so on........
Funkdoc is not attractive, but that calmness made me respect him more.
Dakebs Catalig Were you hoping to give him a bj or something?
The Supreme Gentleman Yus!
Johnny Twohats well then...
32:23, Bravo Funkdoc, Bravo!
LOL, on 6:10 someone closed the door in the same moment it happened on the screen.
Maybe in dimension x he is speed running this in Dracula’s castle which is why he is so good.
