The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Any%)

Nov 02 2024 60 mins  
Hey everyone! While I think of a bed joke, come on in and sit down. The episode, we have Brian from the Zelda Podcast Chat of the Wild to walk us through the already broken speedrun of Echoes of Wisdom. Part Zelda game, part tower builder, a dash of Link, and some menu manipulation combine to make this one of the fastest any% runs in the series. So get comfy, maybe on a bed? There,

Spyro the Dragon (Any%)

Oct 05 2024 70 mins  
Disillusioned knight Bowen (Dennis Quaid) befriends Draco (Sean Connery), the last of the dragons, and the two begin scamming village folk as Bowen repeatedly "kills" Draco for money. Bowen soon learns that Draco is… ok you got me. Dayoman went through the cutscenes so fast that we’re not sure what exactly happened. I was at a loss, so I stole someone’s summary of the 1996 ad

Ori and the Blind Forest (All Skills No OOB/TA)

Jul 06 2024 82 mins  
Somehow it took 3 years to do an episode on one of Hobz's favorite speedruns of all time. I'm not sure how this happened. We are commissioning a panel of experts to dig into all of the information we have and issue a report detailing our failures in this regard, and we promise it will never happen again.

Come in and find a seat, because Prof. Hart was just about to begin the lecture on the history of going fast. We’re gonna learn about arcades, Twin Galaxies and hot sauce nepo baby William Mitchell Jr., and I even read in the syllabus that dirty pictures are involved. So I’m sure it will be very educational. Fun for the whole family! Check out our FREE TRIAL for commentary tra

It’s that time of year again, where we copy paste the episode description of a previous time we looked at a GDQ schedule. Can you figure out which one we used? Maybe it’s from SGDQ 2023, maybe not. Oh ho, I wish I was you right now, you little detective you.
