I haven't forgiven them for banning Bonesaw577 after his legendary Jak and Daxter run at SGDQ2016.

Why'd they ban him? Just watched the end and it sounds like they all expected to be banned.

It's not super clear, but probably for ignoring directions from the organizers who tried to get him to stop impersonating Owen Wilson (for some reason) and stop telling people to tweet @AirCanada.

I think the ban has run out and he can submit runs again by now, but these are the kind of petty grudges I like to hold!

I remember that run, that was really fun.

They've been pretty corporate since around 2016 but I feel like they stopped being so strict lately. The past few years have been fun, no major drama IIRC and they've gotten more chill in general.

I remember the crowd made a walauigi dying sound and a narrator said something about jumping in front of a bus. I started watching GDQ in 2015.

Sone of those people beat games I never got around to beating.
