Thanks everyone, enjoy our recap video of Esteban's event, best of all Martinez, see you at the summer games coming up quickly in 2020, they want you to rip your shirt off, ah this guy is just a nightmare orange, you have this wonder of Luka closed, just do it many times, probably. One of the most difficult. I immediately fell in love with seeing games made quickly. I loved how deep and technical much of the game was, and the glitches were always my favorite thing when watching these games get trashed. in these really fascinating ways and how many hours people had to put in to get the games to this state where they could be played this way.

The reason I speedrun is simply to enjoy a game I loved more. It's a beautiful thing in that sense, just another lens through which to view games. There is always a new challenge that you can always overcome. There is an excellent community. There are many excellent people. It's just amazing how many people you need from all over the world. One of the best things about it is that it's international, so I never would have met people from all these different countries if I hadn't started running fast, having been classic games made fast and witnessed the little meeting in Mike's basement and How far he has come from there is amazing.

I mean, sometimes you have to step back and say wow. I think part of why gdq has become popular is that, especially people my age and younger, they really like video games. You grew up with people telling you that you know, stop wasting your time on video games, you're never going to do anything with video games, and then people tune in, watch games made quickly, and then people raise millions of dollars for charities. really good at playing videos. games and I think that really speaks to people who have been repeatedly told by adults that it's like no, the things that you care about, the things that you enjoy doing, you can put them to good use without the charity aspect.

I do not do it. We feel like we would have achieved almost the same growth and almost as much commitment to the community. It helps us make something we can all come together to do again. We're all playing these different games, but then there's the singular goal that we're trying to raise money for. these charities and improve something for the GDQ has a long term plan for the future, we have a lot of ideas of ways to make this show better and even smoother and do more good in the world, it will get bigger, I just hope that we can all remain a family of gigantic speed you you you
