I love the person who's like "yep that's a pb" and someone's like "isn't that a world record??" "ya"
I could understand maybe he didnt want to sound pompous.. like "oh yea thats a world record... psh ez"
you sound and looker cooler being casual about it
I don't. That was absolutely miserly, how can people react like its a funeral when they have achieved a nice world record?
It completely kills the mood
@@Amalvipls Miserly? A miser? Isnt that someone who's frugal with their money?
Anyway, you're watching speedruns and you're worried about these guys killing the mood? Well, you should definitely look away because trust me it happens a lot
@@awpmerst it was a bad translation from a word in my language, forgive that
regardless, of course I'm going to look away in disgust if someone acts like they don't care at all about what they are doing, I don't know what was your point
@@Amalvipls Okay.
I love the trend of
"time: this many"
"that's a world record"
(burst of cheering)
I don't understand how you can love it
its really miserable and kills the mood to see them react like that, like they don't give a fuck at all
Would like but it’s at 69
Followed by "A ($$$) donation from -name-: 'world record HYYPE'"
@@Amalvipls Imagine jumping up and cheering only for it to not be WR
@@UncleMerlin imagine it being a WR and being absolutely apathetic about it
Its an event, there is a crowd. Nothing kills the mood more than realizing the runner doesn't give a fuck about what he is doing, its even insulting to the audience who are there to cheer
I love the dude's reaction just like "OH NO I DIED!" The accent makes it that much funnier.
it would be a real sad moment if he had missed

How to do a speedrun wr:
1)Find a game that you're good at
2)Create a new category
Done
Son_of_the_HeavyMetal example:
Sm64 71 star category
Technically you can skip ignore step 1 and just create a new category
@@achievedchair17 that isn't an arbitrary category though, 71 stars is the minimum needed to beat the game without glitches

this used to be a runescape channel. lots of scapers still watch it.
l0l0l framed wtf are u doing here Cx
pls give me 50k
fuck off honestly, ur vids are so shit with ur ugly ass laugh
Why don’t the announcers ever know the current world record so they can announce it. It’s something they should be doing so the gamer doesn’t have to do it.
A lot of the time the people on the couch are friends of the runner to make conversation and explain the run, they arent always knowing the WR
It's more important to read donations so they can continue to fund the SJW slush fund machine that is GDQ
@@HTHAWK93 If they can explain the run then they definitely know the world record. Speedrunners always study the current world record intensively.
@@martymcfly88mph35 Oh i didnt know that nerds could be bitter assholes too. Or are you just mad that noone fights for your rights to smell bad at comicon?

DragonDarch’s reaction highlights why so many people are relaxed about getting a WR run, achieving a PB is significantly more exciting for most runners, as it is almost always their focus.
A wr would also be a pb?
@@dankdungeon5104 Yeah, I really hope the comment was a joke
@@dankdungeon5104 Yes, but in a popular game most runners will never get a WR, so improving a PB is a far more tractable goal. Way better psychologically to focus on getting better and better PBs than to dwell on repeatedly not getting a WR.
@Marty Moose Militia yes but the people mentioned in the comment actually got the world records
I’m sorry, but I cannot imagine that actually being true lmao. Every speedrunner dreams of a world record. I understand the point you’re making, but obv the focus is on a PB, because that is, nearly always, easier to achieve than the world record. It sounded more like he was extremely excited and misspoke and said ‘PB’ (because that is their focus, like you said, so he says that way more often) - like, the screaming ‘PB!’ reaction itself doesn’t even make sense in the context of a live audience.
Most other runners might look unexcited because it’s difficult to show your emotion when you’re nervous, in front of a crowd and thousands of people at home (let alone the fact that many top runners aren’t as socially confident/comfortable to show no inhibitions)
It's so satisfying to hear them say "it's a world record".
I know how I can set a new world record! :D
1. Play a game which nobody plays.
2. Say "new world record" everytime I finish the game.
Kenneth Pettersen The guys at Super Best Friends actually did this playing MindJack. It was called Shi**y games done slow and they were trying to go slow, but still got a WR.
What if you get behind your record? See? I outsmarted you
Kenneth Pettersen Or make a crappy game that only you acknowledge
First game I ever speedran had no runs in one of the categories and so I got wr. Haven't beatent hat time since, as it sits at last on the leaderboards.
@@chachi3675 m8 the games in the vid arent dead games (except maybe one) and what makes them pedos?? Stop drinking dumbfuck juice

What was my time?

That’s a world record
Yay
I had a chinese friend for 9 years. He didn't know how to speak English
at all. Now he's in the UK for university. He brought he's Chinese
friend along and she doesn't speak English very well.
I only met her for 5 days, and I know I'm never gonna see her or
possibly get close to her that much. But I really think I fell on love
with her.
She showed me this song cos she likes it.
Now it's my favorite, and I kkow I'm never gonna see her ever again, cos
were indifferent countries and language barriers and etc, I know our
paths will never cross.
But I'll listen to this so I can remember. And who knows I could learn
Chinese, she inspired me that much.

What does that have to do with anything though?
Make sure to check out AGDQ2017 @ twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
All VODS are uploaded on their TH-cam channel after they finish at th-cam.com/users/gamesdonequick
As far as runs that were new to me Kalimba and Doom 2016 were fun as hell to watch. I have a list of runs I still need to get around to watching still. I haven't had loads of time to watch the marathon unfortunately.
Do note that the runs that are currently uploaded there are direct rips from twitch and as such, suffer from some serious quality issue (shite framerate, low volume and so forth).
I think that after the event has ended, they will start uploading 'proper' quality videos of the runs but of course to us that are too eager, the current low quality ones suffice, heh.
Yeah, I wish they would just upload the bad rips to SDA channel or something. Or perhaps use a separate computer strictly for recording and not streaming the event and then uploading them. It would be a damn shame for them to replace runs, because a few already have over 100,000 views like the Pokemon Emerald run. Which the Pokemon Emerald run is also amazing. Some of my favorite runners on the couch and Tyrant being an amazing runner playing the game. Definitely worth the watch (I even got my girlfriend who doesn't enjoy this kind of stuff to want to watch it)
EZScape d
the spongebob battle for bikini bottom run was a nice newcomer this year imo
The time was stopped before Graviton said "time" ???
TheShangryLlamas buggin me too. i watched that one live and now seeing this I'm kind of confused/disappointed
TheShangryLlamas I noticed that also. Whoever was handling the clock dropped the ball there but I'm sure even with the 9 seconds (it stopped I think at 3:01 and he said at 3:10) 33:40 was probably a record.
Sorry it was 7 seconds 3:03 and 3:10.
Note that these are all recordings of a live stream. The audio, tech and visuals of both game and camera are going to be slightly out. So bare that in mind that you could get the signal that the time had stopped before the runner has said time, but he could have already said time. Just a possibility.
Thankfully the runner now does time start/stop with a pedal for the most part so this is no longer an issue.
It was a full 7-8 seconds before time was called; whoever did the timer paused it right when he landed, not when signaled like most of the other runs
I just love how hyped they get and how everyone is cheering for the speedrunner, kinda makes me proud of this community
*gets world record*
Runner: "Yeah that's pretty good."
I appreciate that you tell us exactly what your generated revenue from the ads will be used for. I don't think I've ever seen another TH-camr do that. Kudos to you, sir. Really been enjoying your videos. Hope your subscriber base will grow.
Not really anyone's business though. I mean if someone wants to tell someone how much revenue they make from something granted that's fine and all but in the end it's personal for others.
That's like asking someone how much someone makes when they get their paycheck, it's rude. The end result is pretty much why most TH-camrs don't tell anyone.
Retro Sinner , the OP was stating he appreciated EZ's statement at 11:36.
@@retrosinner4578 it's also like asking what they will use their paycheck for, to submit for your approval.
The good old days when AGDQ wasn't a joyless shitfest
BANNED
and as the announcer, I will say no, that is not completely accurate.
as a non-shill, I will say that it's completely accurate
I'm curious, what do you mean? I managed to catch some of this year's AGDQ live and watched a few of the runs on the GDQ YT channel, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The runners, the chat, the audience. Even the Super Smash Bros. Melee runner, who had practically no audience and next to no donations during his run was still smiling and having fun.
Picture tons of popular and iconic speedrunners getting bannes fron the event for cursing or disagreeing with the organisers. Fucking around gets you banned there nowadays
That run with Bismuth is amazing with his friend just cheering him on and hyping it up, regardless of if you like the game it’s a fun watch
Getting a world record on pilotwing is super impressive to me because i had that game as a kid and in almost 15 years i still haven't figured out how to play it
11:00 dude just drops his wife on the floor? WTF
Lmao
Rip Reimu
Why is that guy's pants wet after his wife is dropped?
@@sutterismine th-cam.com/video/VLnWf1sQkjY/w-d-xo.html
Dang these guys are so calm about breaking world records. If that happened to me I'd be all over the place screaming with excitement, something the lines of "OH MY GOSH I BROKE THE WORLD RECORD".
If you're the only runner, it doesn't mean that much.
Romano onamoR At what point is it ever suggested they're the only one? Sure they're the only runner on stream, but these games have people speedrunning on their own time and at other events as well.
Setting a world record for shortest amount of time doing something doesn't depend on how many people are doing it simultaneously, but rather how many have done it before.
The excitement is kind of offset by the effort they put in. God knows how many other times they've run the game. And yeah, the competition pool being small also makes it less impressive.
Because getting the world record doesnt even mean that much, but reaching your personal goals. The moment you have WR, you lose the desire to keep playing that game, making it not even a 100% joyful experience.
Ichmag I can't think of a single case where I play a game thousands of times in order to play it and win the world record, beat it, and then just drop the game. Most speedrunners will continue playing and trying to beat the new record. My guess at this point is that they're just a little drained from all of their many precise inputs.
If I ever start speedrunning, I want Goose sitting next to me.
It’s interesting how at the end of every clip:
the time is said
The runner realizes its the wr
There is a pause for half a second
And everyone starts cheering
2:30 "Hey, Vsauce! Michael here!"
I like how casual some of them are
"oh, it's world record."
Because it really doesn't matter?
@@Th3UprightMan Out of around like 7-10 billion people in the world, you have managed to beat a video games that millions play and get the fastest recorded time and you say it doesn't matter???
Gen Z is fucked, dude.
@@Lun4rS0ulz_ Only gen z would really care about something that has no meaning to anyone or anything other than a handful of autistic people. Jesus H. Christ, you're pathetic.
I think you forgot about Naegleria's run of Sonic the Hedgehog at SGDQ 2013! _The_ most impressive world record ever set at a GDQ.
Linneus I'm gonna check that out, got any more recommendations? Just recently started to get into speed running.
Brett Pierce he's joking
Brett Pierce or she
I was on cloud 9 after that
I got so confused when I watched the video haha didn't catch the sarcasm at all r/whooosh
8:06 it's kinda charming seeing this guy be more excited that he got a pb than a world record. this show's that improving himself is more important to him than being the best.
EZScape I recently found your channel and have been LOVING It. keep up the great work. I hope YOU have a wonderful life! 😊
He just tosses poor Lil' Reimu on the floor, Reimu… 😭😢 11:03

I love how they're all super calm like "That's a world record." and THEN cheering ensues.
Watch the braid run! Amazing run and a really nice guy
He’s def an awesome guy but I find that game so
Incredibly boring
I love these moments of realisation
when the Runner says it's a world record and everyone starts cheering louder
I really want to practise speedrunning more often, but I don't see the point of putting tons of hours into a game just to say: "that's a new wr, meh"
Robbin Tha Hood stream it?
just do it if you find it fun
Kyle Ganger it shouldve been an obvious joke about the runners reaction. i am currently running mirrors edge again
Boy, I can't read sarcasm and sass through the interwebs.
Yea Speed Running is nothing more than a personal goal/accomplishment for the runner. A WR doesn't mean much.
I would personally spend all that time and effort into something that can make me money.
To each their own though.... people live their lives how they choose. If it's something you would enjoy, give it a shot.
djlowtek read the previous discussion...
5:28 HOLY SHIT, that game looks ADORABLE!
Tavish DeGroot yeh the guy did a good job.
Because of you, i've gotten more and more into gdq and the speedrunning community and i think I'll maybe try it out myself
3:20 That was a bit creepy. Lol
Great list man. :) Love when the runners were like "Wait, what did you just say?"
It's amazing that people do speed runs for games I've never even heard of.
How is that amazing?
@@kingti85
I didn't mean it literally. It was a figure of speech. I guess it's just something I didn't expect.
9:25 I like how supportive that 007 speedrunner was, sorry I don't know his name, just use to seeing him being angry lmao, feels good to see him genuinely happy, and for someone else being successful. Good stuff.
His name is RWhiteGoose
I find it annoying how the speed runner keeps having to tell everyone is a world record before they applaud. I feel like everyone should be told beforehand or something or written down somewhere what the WR is so there's not that weird moment where everyone is sitting there and the runner has to let them know what they just did was good or not.
current world record should be next to the estimated time
Joey Harder When I watch agdq I always have a tab open with speedrun.com . There you can fimd all current world records. But I agree with you, it should be indicated somewhere or acknowledged during the runs.
Joey Harder when they do these runs they don't expect to break any records not to mention while they're playing they're not looking at their time, why are you acting like what they're doing is a bad thing?
I'm not saying what the runner is doing is a bad thing. I'm saying I wish the event would organize it better to hype everyone up more so there's not a weird moment where the runner has to tell everyone they broke a WR instead of everyone knowing what the record was ahead of time. I think what jan409 said is a great idea.
Joey Harder true but I think they don't tell the actual live audience what the time is so they don't distract or stress out the player. It would be cool if on stream there's more information about best times and WR numbers but I think it's OK the runner and the audience don't know, knowing people there's a high chance they'll be dicks and purposely shout at them the time or give false time information
Man, I bet just being able to be there and participate is an amazing feeling for these guys. Let alone walking away with a WR and it then being documented in such a scale. All while helping charity?
I bet its an indescribable feeling!
"Time, OH WAIT I DIED, I BEAT THE GAME?!?"
Nice commentary and footage, subbed.
I got the WR for SW: Shadows of the Empire during the 2011 Japan Relief Done Quick. I had been attempting for about a month before the event, and on the day of the event I knew the run was going well but it wasn't until I added up the in game time that I was able to announce in the stream's chat that it was a new PB :).
Congrats!
World records of the games no one even knows about
Isaiah Flores Yeah ikr Minecraft is so obscure
still worth it :)
DedeDream the fuck is minecraft?
Patient Ache if you don't know that game is good, but at the same time you are living under a rock
Some of these I get... But Tetris, Infamous, Duke Nukem, Tony Hawk pro skater 3, Minecraft, Pilotwing 64, Metroid Zero, diddy kong racing. Haha in what universe do you live in that you don't know about those?
9:15 The funniest thing of many time XD
2:59 Pretty sure the time guy stopped the clock early for this run, not sure if this was really a WR.
6:54 Also doesn't this guy say 8:57 when his time was 8:54?
I was just about to say as well, he stopped it like 2 seconds early, but i think he held the previous WR so it wouldnt matter much
well. if i go by the reaction the player has "thiry *three* thirtyone", with emphasis on the THREE. showing his surprise he hit below 34, which would imply the WR was 34 minutes or above
he stopped at least 8 seconds before the player said time.
This was 2013 so I'm pretty sure they're better now
3:22 blueglass is such a nice dude, fuck the haters
Ha. Actually saw the Minecraft speedrun, I think props go to the guy in the fleece jacket for how supportive he was.
That shoulder rub at 3:20 is the weirdest thing I have ever witnessed
i was thinking that as well 😂😂
So gentle haha
Hahahahhaa
I'm so glad someone else noticed that 😂😂😂😂
Nice video, great job giving credits to everyone.
Didn't Bonesaw get a WR for Jak 1 or Jak 2?
I swear I recall that. I thought that would be a better entry for this list.
No, he got banned after his Jak 1 run if that's what you're thinking of.
EZScape do runs who got banned
Why did he get banned? xD
He did, but that was only because (for some reason) no one uploaded any runs to SDA.
+ChaosPotato he got banned because GDQ is too politically correct for people to make jokes about Air Canada sucking
Does anyone know the sweater brand/name of the guy in the Minecraft run? I know its a weird question but that thing looks comfortable as fuck.
I don't know the sweater brand but that's RWhiteGoose.
Glad I'm not the only one lol RWhiteGoose is a good dude and a Goldeneye god - I LOVE that sweater, it looks so comfy! Anyone who knows PLEASE post any info about Goose's grandpa sweater haha
Echocookie search on Rwhitegoose's twitch page, he has the link to the store there, they're hella expensive tho
***** Well, shit. Did not expect to see you here. Now that I know the sweater brand, I might just have to pick one up. Keep doing you, man! Stay true, my friend.
+RWhiteGoose Thanks dude. I'll check out your stream too!
3:20 that creepy shoulder rub tho😲
I love how the players get so much support. Great community
3:05 they messed up the timing he hit the pad and they stopped the timer lmao
i finished this video in 4:19 seconds...it was a new world record
Lol
did you have a smattering of bored-looking folks chilling behind you as well
If you optimize a 3:03 is possible with adblock
Ah, started in second gear?
I have never done a speed run and probably never will, but the one thing I love about speed running is the feeling of community within speed running. This top 10 showcases that.
These runs are all awesome and congrats to the runners, but my favorite run < not WR > is PJ and his Ghost and Goblins any weapon pick up run. Very funny and entertaining to watch. Looking forward towards the next GDQ marathon.
the fact that they are so calm getting a world record
3:00 the time stopped early? Would it have still been a world record if it didn’t?
Wow you're right!
1:17 In the back: the "I'd really prefer if you'd be quiet" guy is clapping like he doesn't like to see other people succeed at things XD
I remember watching a Jukspa video on the original portal where he managed to snag a world record, and when he realized his time, all he said was "Eh, an okay time I guess". Literally beat the game faster than anybody else in recorded history and just an "Eh".
"What was that time?"
"THAT'S A WORLD RECORD!"
*everyone cheers*
9:50 rip to the guy in the grey on the left lmao got left hanging haha
its really heartwarming to see the joy in their faces when they realize they set the world record :)
I love watching people celebrate their victories.
Gaming is something close to my heart, it's something I'm passionate about.
So, these moments in history are special to me.
Although the wider gaming community can sometimes be toxic, they can also be wonderful, and I still consider us all bound like family by this awesome pass-time.
I'd be shocked if WR happens in any recent GQG's with how much the times have been optimized in so many games.
With the vast number of unpopular speedrun games and categories WR's will still happen in future GDQs.
lisamariefan AGDQ just set two WRs in a row a few days ago during their Bad Games segment. 4-person Nightmare on Elm Street for NES, and Rocky and Bullwinkle for SNES.
Little Samson NES Normal All Stages WR was set at AGDQ 2017 also.
hey skul! XD
"GQG's"
Awesome Games Quickly Gamed
RIP bonesaw577 in GDQ :(
Wow!

I was wondering if the Zero Mission Hard low% run would make the list. Glad to see it did.
Thanks for leaving in the reactions.
RIP bonesaw
VildStyle what happened to him? Sorry I don't follow this scene that much.
He just got banned from GDQ this year because of some stuff he said during his (incidentally incredibly entertaining) run at SGDQ 2016.
He's one of my favorite runners to watch so it sucks. Hopefully he'll be back at the next SGDQ
VildStyle I'm pretty sure he is coming back in 2018.
+VildStyle what did he say?
Noose he say go talk shit about air Canada on their Twitter.
11:00 rest in piss anime plushie
its actually from a game though
Reimu has fell.
The Minecraft one I remember watching when it first got uploaded to TH-cam, I love it, the couch and (his brother I think?) were so supportive. It was a funny, action packed, wholesome run! Really was a great watch!
I love this so much, but it's also such an interesting look into how different people all respond to the sudden spontaneous emotional news. Fascinating
Trihex at the end Pog
whoa a world record. yep, mhm. i wonder what's for dinner
nothing

Rock me, Joey Santiago. Chicken dinner
Rock me, Joey Santiago. Ayyyy bowie
"Annnnd... time!"

loved the braid run. recommend watching the whole thing
Number 8 he called time awhile after the clock stopped? Can someone explain?
0:37 that dude in the front row had his girl in his lap and his arm around his boy. That's how you achieve maximum chilling.
I love drinking during your videos. I take a shot every time you say world record.
So many high fives, hugs and back pats that look like their one physical interaction of the year. Havent dialed in the controls for their irl body yet.
9:23 "I've never seen this before! I beat the game!"
11:03 Holds the plush so it won't fall off, 11:05 stands up and drops the plush
Your videos sound much better now, better enunciation and quality.
3:12 they stopped the time way before he called time LOL I hope they corrected that shit. He must have been pissed when he found out.
Imagine playing you favorite game,doing a charity live and then doing a world record. Absolutly Insane.
Lmao I love how awkward they can be, it's great
The fact that we hit $2,000,000 this year is astounding!
Lonelykun Too bad less than 75% actually goes to preventing cancer.
*****
Go look up Prevent Cancer on Charity Navigator.
Jackson Steal jesus christ go fuck yourself
Seems from the recent reports it's at 75.4%, so now over 75% goes towards preventing cancer. Which is pretty good for a charity.
Nobody:
Speedrunner: That's a world record.
Oh wow, you read my mind. I was just asking myself the other day "How many WRs have been broken at GDQ??"
They like:
A: Hey, you broke the World Record
B: Oh, thank you
wtf 😒
Yup that's a world record.... ~Can i go now?
There's a psychological phenomenon that occurs with practice effects in people. what you said about added pressure from being in front of a large audience is true most of the time, but when a person has a tremendous amount of practice doing a task, they can actually do better with an audience. This phenomenon is normally talked about in terms of professional athletes performing better in front of large audiences but it also generalizes to any task that someone becomes a master at through large amounts of practice.
There are actually a large amount of world record runs that happen on GDQ which is suprising when you think about the fact that these runners are getting one chance live to do it and on any given night entire communities are taking multiple attempts a day to get a world record time.
Love the video, take care!
