AColdOne kinda cooked

Awesome to see OSRS included in a GDQ, and a great job by A Cold One on the run and everyone involved on the commentary!

my GOAT

AFKing combats even while live on the GDQ couch to ensure there is no exp waste is a certified osrs gamer moment

Turning on the TOA music for Olm is peak comedy

the community crashing the couch at crabs and doing a watch party shows a lot about the osrs community, what an awesome segment, and well done cold!

The couch staying logged in and training while presenting at GDQ is the most OSRS thing they could have possibly done

Since they didn’t have time to cover it, if anyone is curious about the context of this speedrun: Oldschool RuneScape is an MMORPG, which doesn’t really make for a speedrun, but this is a specific raid within the game. The runner is using a pre-made character (these take hundreds/thousands of hours to level) and optimized gear (except for the donation incentive, mole slippers). The raid is designed for multiple players to complete it, but RuneScape players would never pass up an opportunity to make something harder in order to play alone. Soloing the raid is hard, but learnable by pretty much any player who dedicates time to it. He’s doing a special “Challenge Mode” version of the raid that is harder than standard raids and includes every single room in a set order (standard CoX raids are usually randomly generated using a few of the possible rooms) Since players have to complete these raids thousands of times to achieve end game goals, they optimize for speed for more kills/hr. Some players go beyond just trying to efficiently clear raids and speedrun for a PB or WR, which means optimizing for speed (not necessarily efficiency or repeatability) and resetting attempts, like other speedruns. Just wanted to explain a bit for people who aren’t as familiar with the game and don’t know how an MMORPG could be speedrun! If you want to see someone speedrun the entire game (leveling to max), check out He Box Jonge here on youtube

Acoldone passes the vibe check. Very professional and good vibes boys, made the community look GOOD!

21:57 is peak osrs trolling lmao ColdOne is next level. Tick perfect music manipulation to play Amascut's Promise at Olm 😂😂😂😂

That’s so nice of will. Coldone has helped coached him many times, good of him to give back to big bro

Pretty much everything you could hope for in a marathon setting, loved it. Though maybe with the exception of crab room. It really do happen to the best of us.

Cold is the perfect runner for this, look how clean the game and his client looks. Near zero plugins. This is how the game needs to present itself to look appealing to the outside.

Could definitely see OSRS becoming a GDQ staple. An incredibly talented community of players and basically infinite content to showcase.

i couldn't imagine clicking this well on a stage while also providing top-tier commentary

Old School Runescape has never been better it's by far the best MMO. Every week there's game updates and every month or so we have big game updates. While Guthix Sleeps comes out next week, Solo Slayer boss Araxxor is coming soon, Part 2 of Varlamore is coming with a group boss, and a massive herblore minigame coming out as well. I can't wait until HD, Sailing, and the rest of the roadmap revealed comes to the game. I loved playing back in 2006-2011 days but I think runescape is in its golden era right now. Never too late to join. :D

Beautifully done, thanks for showcasing Runescape to the masses and the potencial the game as in terms of speedrunning

Never heard of these events. Awesome job by a cold one. Based on the views on this video compared to others it looks like this osrs is clearly thriving! Lets goooooooo

If OSRS gets the pleasure of getting featured again in a GDQ, it would be great to spend a bit more of the prep/downtime explaining things like the tick system and common game systems that make OSRS such a unique game.

Was so hyped to hear this was going down , you're a legend Acoldone!

“I have amnesia, I forgot that I’m him” Hell yea Cold. Great job on the big stage

Unreal scenes

A cold one really is the goat. Carried itswill a top 5 pvmer

Was legendary having cold being the guy repping OSRS - Also props to david for doing an amazing job on the constructive commentary

So happy to see the whole community supporting the run, even seeing it broadcasted ingame by jagex themselves, great run too, what a guy

I know OSRS can get complicated going into ticks and such, but I would have liked a bit more general explanation for things, even if I already know them. Couch talked over each other quite a bit early, little annoying. But overall amazing run for a marathon setting, love seeing RS at GDQ and hope it continues

Great run by AColdOne, thanks GDQ for featuring OSRS

Yo the couch was cooking. Good job using language that non-RS players could understand

So awesome this run happened. I’m so glad I got to watch it live!!

i would love to see more osrs runs ! Thank you GDQ and Jagex!

A very solid run all things considered, and without tile markers and many other helpful plugins

16:35 LMFAO. This joke will never get old

Good stuff cold, I don’t watch pvm much because I like pking, but this was a solid speed run for chambers. I’m not fimiliar with this channel but osrs speed runners definitely need to be in this type of environment. The is some extreme mechanics and game knowledge.

Osrs doing things right with the live announcement before he started the run

So fast this just happened! Thank you tech crew!

Never expected OSRS at GDQ, and i just started my cox grind on my ironman too lmao

This game looks super fun might try it out in my free time

Nice i had been waiting on this

Keizaron and Shenanigans commentary? Totally dope, didn't realize they were OSRS players.

What an absolute legend, he looks the the type of guy to jump straight into a pool to get a friends phone

Stoked to see OSRS featured on GDQ!

Watching this made me want to get better at the game. What a spectacle.

Warden's music for Olm is so based. that boss music is incredibly good. loved this run. Nice job, AColdOne!!!

LFGOOOOO ACOLDONE KILLED IT, vasa was so clean!!!!! Great job overall ofc 👏

Cold and the couch did such a good job showcasing our game to the masses. This was such a fun watch.

The absolute GOAT! Thank you Cold for putting osrs on the map!

Great job AColdOne!

So cool to see AColdOne represent! Thanks for doing such a good job man!

that was amazing. great job from the cast and ACO

Thanks for carrying me big bro - itswill7 donation 😆

This was awesome! Kudos to AColdOne for doing a great job Hope to see more of OSRS at GDQ!

Omg I'm so happy to see OSRS here at GDQ! I'm very passionate about the game myself, maxed with infernal and all that, but I do wanna shill for A Cold One and say if you're new/interested in osrs content he really does great content, I'd highly recommend the Grandmaster/Zuk helm speedrun series! To finish GM in the first place is an amazing feat that not a ton of people ever accomplish, let alone in a speedrun setting (which btw still adds up to weeks of in game time)

Seeing osrs on GDQ is awesome, this was a lot of fun to watch

This was amaxing! I can't wait for more old school runescape speedruns on GDQ 😄

420 crabs gang

didnt expect to see this, amazing though. two worlds colliding in an awesome way

So cool to see an OSRS speedrun hit GDQ! Great job to A Cold One and his bench! o7

Absolutely awesome!

OSRS has really been getting the love it deserves lately with All-Stars, now SGDQ.

amazing to see OSRS! AColdOne is amazing also.

I gotta see you guys at the end of the party how cool!! i was wondering what was going on!! good job acoldone!

AColdOne is a legend! Thanks for the great content!

shoutout 1davidj for his really great commentary

Cold one str8 savage. GZ bro

Good run aColdOne !

Wooo great showcase, great to see OSRS getting some Love.

great run! Looking forward to seeing more possible OSRS features at GDQ in the future!

amazing love to see it

Hopefully next year they can have multiple OSRS segments.

Most impressive part is getting a 1 anvil first try.

Awesome run, hope to see more osrs at GDQ events in the future.

The GOAT game finally hanging in the publics eye.

Missed this one live but here to watch some Chambers of Zeric speedran here.

Grats on the run.

Thats our boy Cold

Love OSRS content done quick!

I hope this brings lots of new players :)

so weird to see runescape in the GDQ, glad to be here :) gz coldy

love acoldone! love GDQ amazing watch

Awesome idea to include OSRS in a speedrunning event, and, hopefully something we'll see return someday! ✨🥳

LETS GO COLD ONE

This is awesomeeee

i honestly couldnt think of anyone other than this man to promote the game!

Olm 8:1 and 12:0 is pretty hard to learn without tile markers, respect to cold for willing to showcase a more natural game experience, not shitting on plugins but it shows he cares for how the game is perceived

OSRS AT GDQ LETS GOO

This was really cool

I never thought I'd see OSRS at GDQ. This was amazing!

The fact that he just calmly went into the music menu and put the ToA music on going into Olm with a completely straight face lmao

The goat!

Beast! Great to see osrs on GDQ

Watching this taught me that the Olm is actually a real aquatic Salamander. 😅

Great game and category, hope to see more osrs at future GDQs!

bro acoldone has been the goat forever im so happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves

Very osrs, at the same time there is 1) very high-end show of skill, 2) a UIM afking crabs whilst watching someone else play osrs and 3) the wholesome community pulling some shenanigans. Amazing!

AColdOne a god damn legend......

WP Cold & couch, great run 🎉

18:41 "our crabs now" what a legend

Love this community

Sad I missed this live ;_;
