Ok. The guy raising the "U" cardboard everytime they say "you"

I don't want music played at my funeral. I want an awful block played.

This game has All the user friendliness of a mid 80’s Japanese PC RPG but now it’s on a system where you can play Phantasy Star or Shining Force

It’s been over three years and “IT’S A JOOOOKE!” still lives rent free in my head.

I played this game as a kid and it was on english, i am from spain and needed to translate all the text looking each word one by one on english dictionary. No regrets.

It’s a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE

The subtle raising of the “K” sign in response to the article reading at 33:31 is such an underrated moment.

ＩＴ＇Ｓ　Ａ　ＪＯＫＥ！

Favorite Part is the Y-letter holder throwing his sign upwards and hitting himself with it at 54:37

I feel bad that the Hydlide series has garnered so much disdain in the West due to their first experience with it being its console ports. In Japan, it's a beloved and highly influential computer game series that inspired the Action RPGs that came after it like The Legend of Zelda; the bush you burn with the lamp in Zelda was a reference to Hydlide. Hydlide and Dragon Slayer were developed so close together, one could argue they were both the first Action RPG if one ignores which of them managed to get out the door first in 1984.

The fact that this almost seems like a good speed game with interesting movement makes this even more entertaining. And that's not A JOKE!!!!

For anyone who hadn't watched it, I highly recommend watching Keizeron's Animorphs run first; there's a lot of off-hand comments and jokes about that run.

IT'S A JOKE! … sorry, I can't resist. Poor translation ruined these "jokes".

Keiz was just dying on the inside since the first second, and I love it.

Hydlide 3 space memories is the best in the series, it sucks that this series gets so much unwarranted hate. Sure the graphics were supar, the translations were pretty bad, but Hydlide was the first for a lot of video game innovations as far as time changes, weight system, banking system, using certain items to kill certain mobs. Hydlide II was ground breaking for its time, US never got to see part II due to poor reception of the first one. Super Hydlide also has some of the best 16bit FM audio on the Genesis, that intro tune is straight fire as well as the dragon music, hell all of the sound track is awesome!

The whole Kaizack is pretty interesting to be honest, I'd love to see this game redone

43:32 "That crushed my breakfast! You're freaking me out that much!" got me good xDDD

Whoever thought allowing these people to have letters to hold up: I hope you're proud of yourself. Because you're a genius.

This is my favorite run of agdq2020. Awesome runer, good couch and a fun audience ... Lucky. All the trivia and positivity of this run were also really cool.

28:44 did he just say giorno giovanna? I guess it's a jojoke?

I would donate for Super Hydlide Slowest%

17:20 Love how the chant starts out of nowhere, lol.

Awful block is the only GDQ videos I watch

Was anyone ever able to find that Best RPGs article they mention? I REALLY want to see what's on that list

Amazing that this dude can do gameplay and commentary, and do a stellar job with both!

The chat was amazing on that run with the IT'S A JOKE!! spam

You have no idea how happy I am to see Super Hydlide run, Virtual Hydlide was the first RPG I ever played and I think this series gets so much more hate than it deserves

"Y'all have bad taste," ... He says while playing Super Hydlide.

I keep rewatching this just to see Keiz's reactions

Props to that part at 43:08 Or kudos, or something I picked the worst time to take a sip fro m my mug, let's just say I'm glad I have a roll of paper near me at all times

Is someone working on Ultra Hydlide?

So many good runs this year, impossible to pick a favorite

Take it to the smash room

Brossentia has a husband? That's sweet, I'm happy for him!

21:32 now that's gold

More RPGs need silly joke items!

18:30 but Mr. G&W...

A donation from Giorno Giovanna is weirdly fitting, considering that Mike plays as Dio.

Game came out at the wrong time. Definitely was ahead with pretty seamless day to night transitions and a weight system

Can somebody tell me what was yelled at 21:31?

It's a Joooooooooke!

this is the first GDQ run where i laughed my head off in the first 20 seconds

this run is fantastic. reminds me of early GDQs.

Well jeez, I have to watch Animorphs now.

The only joke here is the game 🤣🤣🤣 such an entertaining run though!

My body feels reenergized.

Lucky! (x24)

DIO!

What an awesome game! it`s a joke!

The energy from the pre Covid GDQs is unrivaled Haven't been there in person but I love the 2016-2019 era of GDQ

ha ha ha, it's a joke

The runner's songs dude 😅😆🤣😂😁

L U C K Y

The songs... OMG... those songs....

It's joke!

"you know what? I like realism in video games i think it always had something extra but if tomorrow i have in every rpg a "shoes stat" and i need to see the stamina of soles it's going to annoy me!" - Joueur du grenier a french youtuber

The energy from the runner and his knowledge of the game made this run really enjoyable to watch !

Is that a JoJo reference?

Did all this game back in the day with zero guides. I’ll always remember liking this one

LUCKY!

So, if Virtual Hydlide is Published by Altus, does that make it Dark Souls before Dark Souls?

Just further proof FUN IS NOT ALLOWED at GDQs amirite, dude said so himself IT'S A JOOOOOOKE (as in, I effing love this block and this run)

Those are some nice signs

Joke is it?

Man what a shitty game this seems like! Nice run however-
