AGDQ 2017

[CosmykTheDolfyn]

I really liked this fellow named Bonesaw577 who did a really great play through of Jack and Daxter. I guess he's banned until 2018! I didn't think his jokes were so out of the line for that to happen, although I would have agreed with a warning over the whole "Air Canada" stuff.

Also didn't see Cosmo! He's really amazing and I've loved seeing how he's able to break Ocarina of Time. Seems like a super nice and laid back person as well.

I looked up earlier AGDQ videos. While it's terrific how much they've grown and all the cash they rake in, I preferred the laid back atmosphere the earlier ones had, like it was just a huge group of friends getting together to have fun gaming and raise money for good causes.

As someone who was around some of the older events, the attitudes/atmospheres have changed.  It's just so big now it's impossible to get to hang out with everyone and people break into their little groups.

On the other hand, there are still some amazing smaller marathons that are much more like the early days of GDQs, such as DeuceCon and RPG Limit Break that are still fun to watch.

And.... Cosmo no longer speedruns due to wrist injuries.  Also, no longer is named Cosmo, came out as transgender and goes by Narcissa now.  I personally also don't agree with the Bonesaw thing, guy is super funny, but at least it was only a game submission ban, he can still attend and couch if he desires.
