What's it gonna be called?

I hope this isn't a terrible question at this time but I wanted to know what the marathon was going to be called this year.

I mostly ask this because I have a bit of a (silly) idea for the sake of promotion, but I think it will only work if the marathon will be called Classic Games Done Quick 2.

But the games that are being run are not classic games. I hear it is going to be called Awesome Games Done Quick.

Old doesn't necessarily make them classic and classic doesn't necessarily mean old.

I'm afraid that Awesome Games Done Quick (while not a bad title) won't fit with my idea. I kinda needed the "2".

Ooooooooooooooooookaaaaaay. You asked for it.

I wanted to create a promotional song by re-writing the lyrics of AC/DC's song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." I actually haven't done anything but I figured I could find a karaoke version of the song and quickly come up with some lyrics. However, the majority of the idea was based around changing "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" to "classic games done quick two," but then throwing in a bit of a pun by changing the lower-key "dirty deeds and they're done cheap too" to "classic games and they're done quick too." (two = too)

I warned you that it was silly.

Wait that doesn't fit this at all.

See, I told you. I kinda needed the "2" so I could make the cheesy "too" pun. Otherwise the song just feels forced. I mean, it was gonna be kinda forced anyways, but puns were going to make it more palatable.

So is Awesome Games Done Quick really the title for the marathon?

You got a deletion wish?

As named by Breakdown, yes it is AGDQ.

Yeah, I guess that pretty much seals it, because Breakdown is "The Man"

Oh, well. Maybe it'll work should they decide on "Awesome Games Done Quick 2"
