I'm glad they're back to in person events, their online stuff didn't kept my interest over the past couple of years.

Looking forward to this event

The only thing that was fun to see were mostly the vr stuff for me. You normally don't see that during a in person event.

But yeah, in person is way better. I can't wait for it to start!

and the rhythm games, I really enjoyed the Pump it Up and In The Groove showcases

I agree. It never really felt like there was anything to differentiate the agdq and sgdq events from their daily shows while everything was remote. It just never felt the same without everyone playing on the couch.

I liked the online events because it was easier for them to get runners from around the world to participate. Also, I think the rhythm game showcases would have never happened without the online-only GDQs.

They do online programming all week these days, and there's something special about the in-perwon energy.
