This Speedrun got me Accepted into Games Done Quick (kinda)

I've been to a few Games Done Quick events, but for the upcoming AGDQ 2025 charity marathon, I decided to learn a new speedrun and submit to GDQ for the first time. This the submission video that got me accepted as a backup runner for the event. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed today's video. I was pretty proud of my submission, since I'm just so happy I'm considered good enough as a speedrunner to run at a live marathon! I got a pretty banger video coming out on the 15th, so hopefully this helped with the recent upload gap. Please let me know if you'd be interested in more live-commentary videos in the future! I'm always looking to improve any try new things with my content.

Insert "it would be a shame if Glubbers had an accident" joke here. No fr ggs on getting accepted for Backup! Can't wait for another week of chaos and fun :)

Cue the Summoning Salt intro song for an History of Lunatic Speed Running Speed Run.

Massive congrats! This AGDQ week is going to be a massive lineup. So excited to see everyone throw down.

Congrats, Lunatic! Whether or not they need you to do the run, this will be an amazing segment. Can’t wait for the marathon!

Congratulations on getting accepted! Monumental accomplishment. I hope to one day see you as the runner on the GDQ stage.
Aside, I love this longer-form video from you, would love to see more if you think you can.

Congrats man! I'll be looking out for you!

LETS Congrats Lunatic, I'm happy for you :)! Glad that we'll get to hear your commentary during the stream too!

So stoked. Even if you dont make it on this time im sure youll be on it soon enough

[sorry]

the commentators are the real stars anyways

Just to clarify a point made in this video, because I am familiar with the backend of GDQ runs, being the backup runner does *not* guarantee you a space on the runner’s commentary team. That is decided entirely by the runner alone, and they have a lot of factors that go into it. It can even be changed last minute, like when gymnast86 invited me to comm his Tears of the Kingdom run a few days before the run. Just putting it out there.

agdq is a dei lunatic hell. have been ignoring it for years. no offense to the runners but I can't stand the incessant pronouns and agenda pushing from the organization. I only watch speedgaming on twitch now because it's much less pushy there

GDQ doesnt have the prestige it used to. its lost the sauce.
