This year was honestly one of the better years. Lots of great runs all around. You can find the VODs here: https://www.youtube.com/@gamesdonequick/videos

I haven't seen many runs yet, but my personal highlights were Peanut Butter the Dog speedrunning Gyromite and Elden Ring finished in 18 minutes.

What other great runs were there I might've missed?

The Bluey run memed so hard. After the run, people were shouting "hooray!" after every significant event in other games, e.g. when collecting shines in Super Mario Sunshine.

The Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Kart 64 runs both had great commentary.

Super Mario 64 Drum% was great. CZR did a 16 star run with a drum kit.

This was my first time seeing Cocoon, and my mind was blown. Orb!

The Super Metroid TAS was awesome.

The Metroid Dread race was nail biting. 2s difference over a 1h50m race.

Go! Go! Hamster Chef. No spoilers. You should watch it.

Edit: add some more stuff above.

Honestly I was in for the Ultimate Doom speedruns and Argick's commentary.

It seemed to go well this year, good on them.

That drum% was so fun
