I haven't watched one of these in years now.

Which runs/races are y'all looking forward to?

There is a literal DOG doing a speedrun of Gyromite on Tuesday

Also any Doom game is always worth watching! Also Donkey Kong or Sonic games

And the awful games block is always hilarious, I think starting Wednesday night / Thursday morning with Beetlejuice, and running all the way to Skator Gator 3D, I know Virtual Hydlide is a funny one in there, and Skull Island: Rise of Kong is one of the newest games ever featured in an awful games block

The schedule is a bit easier to read and Ctrl+f here: https://horaro.org/agdq/2024

Worms speedruns in the past have been really cool, definitely looking forward to that. And Mario 2 is always amazing.
