Rhythm games going big this GDQ. I guess one benefit of streaming from home is you can use your custom arcade machine.

SGDQ 2022 is in person! (for now)
Summer Games Done Quick 2022 Returns - In-Person
For the first time since Awesome Games Done Quick 2020, Games Done Quick will be returning in-person!
[ā¦]
In accordance with our stance on safety, SGDQ2022 will be requiring full COVID-19 vaccinations (with proof), as well as KN95/N95/KF94 masks, for all attendees of the event. Social distancing will be practiced in all event spaces. The event attendance cap will be reduced in order to facilitate social distancing requirements.
I have to say, while virtual was obviously necessary, the remote events really arenāt as fun as a meat GDQ.
I hope they can safely pull it off - vaccine and mask requirement is really good to hear.
Games list! The ones that jump out at me:
Advance Wars
DS Any% (No Map Glitch)
Celeste.smc
Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Race between GrandPooBear and MrMightyMouse_
Kaizo Super Mario World Relay Race
SNES
Metroid Dread
Nintendo Switch Any% NMG Normal

Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World
Super Nintendo Entertainment System All Five Games w/ACE

The Mario 5-game ACE was off the charts bananas. Like a TAS but humans.

The Super Metroid Kaizo run is pure insanity.

That was white-knuckle for basically the entire run. Normally the crowd is super rowdy for Metroid but everyone was just holding their breath for 2 and a half hours.
I donāt think this should even be called Super Mario World. Itās SMW romhack/fangame which mostly operates like Super Mario World, but the levels are full on custom stuff that you wonāt find in normal Super Mario. Itās a race and the runners are good, but the real stars for me were the level designers, I was just constantly impressed by what I was seeing.

Holy shit, the OoT TASbot beta showcase.
Even if you donāt particularly find TASes at a GDQ thatās interesting, like me. Donāt read anything about it before you watch.
Iāll just say they got a standing ovation.
Kaizo Mario World race was indeed epic. Mode 7 Mario really appealed to me. Itās clever enough to be in a real Nintendo Mario game.
AGDQ starts in a week. Canāt say Iām excited for another virtual one. Way to go, Florida.
I had an idea while thinking about weird GDQ categories. Call it hands/eyes coop.
As in, one person can see the screen, and the other person is holding the controller. Eyes player has to tell Hands player what to do.
This thought brought to you by coop Geoguessr.
Pretty sure Iāve seen this happen with several games.
Back college we used to play blindfold Monkeyball on Dreamcast using this exact method.
Now you are thinking with Airboats
Iām glad I watched the start of that, as I like the idea of airboat portal, and the story that spawning airboats wasnāt cheating. And seeing the demonstration of the tricks. But once the run starts, it doesnāt feel like Portal at all, or much fun.
Thereās a sweet spot where a game can still feel like the game, with another game layered on top for luls, but this idea falls just the other side of it for me.
How far can a game be pushed without it losing all meaning?

Neon White was cool. I hadnāt heard of the game before, itās a puzzle-ish FPS platformer. You have to kill all the enemies in a level and get to the exit. You give up a gun to get some special moves - a double jump or dash for example.
The commentator did a good job explaining and the runner has some phenomenal FPS skills. Looks TASy in spots.
Thatās actually the point of Neon Whiteāit was meant for speedrunning. It was designed to make speedrunning look easy for casual players who lack the proper skills for pulling off crazy maneuvers in other games.
Mark Brown made a great video explaining why the game is so great.
