all night tonight is Awful Block on Awesome Games Done Quick! I am ready for some amazingly janky games! Also my wife @FlannelKat is in it
Here's what I expect from the upcoming runs:
Yo! Noid 2: Game of a Year Edition
Yo! Noid 2 is not actually awful. It's fantastic. It just pretends to be an awful licensed game. So you could argue that the Awful Block is not starting yet
Kirby Star Allies
This game is probably fine! It's probably here due to a scheduling constraint.
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
Okay we're definitely in the awful block now. This is a painfully terrible idea for a game! Instead of you controlling Pac-Man, Pac-Man is wandering around like a dingus and you manipulate his mind by shooting things with a slingshot. Excited to see a speedrun of it so that we experience as little of it as possible!
Yolanda: The Ultimate Challenge
This is what @FlannelKat is playing! It's a very arbitrary and mean platformer for the Amiga, based on a different game called Hercules. There are like two tracks of music and they sound like anxiety but they're also great
Lizard Lady vs. the Cats, Office Race, Salamander County Public Television
I know nothing about these but I'm excited to find out
Battle of the Eras
This is an amazing feat of game preservation. A bunch of teens got the idea to make a game, like you do. Amazingly, they finished it and planned to sell it. They sold 0 copies. But we can play it now!
It's a DOS fighting game made of stop-motion photos of them wearing costumes. You have to see it. Also the runner, corndan, is a great guy
I hope I can be awake to see it.
I'm going to die if I don't eat sushi!
Also not awful, just cheaply made and pretends to be bad! This game and this run are so much fun. A particular boss fight is the most hype use of royalty-free music ("Banbard" by Mozell) that I've ever encountered. It is sad that I will be asleep for this run
Morodashi Sumo, Dokkaebi-ga Ganda, Sonic Blast, Bad Guys at School
I also have no prior knowledge of these!
Steven Seagal Is: The Final Option
What a name for a game to end the block on. I don't know what to expect but I'll have to catch the video.
"these didn't used to exist, in an earlier version of the game, but they were placed here to stop you from doing the thing that I just did"
