BloodThunder Pranks AGDQ Stream with PC Crash Fake-Out
AGDQ speedrunner BloodThunder fooled the whole stream earlier today by faking a PC crash in the middle of his BioShock run.
While he was playing, a blue error screen suddenly appeared, surprising everyone. BloodThunder confidently said, “It’s fine, we’re playing this,” and showed the beginning of Skyrim on the screen to make viewers believe that he was going to switch to that game. However, BioShock quickly came back on the screen.
This isn’t the first time BloodThunder has pulled this prank. At SGDQ 2016, he edited a fake automatic PC restart for a Windows 10 update during his BioShock run.
A few hours after finishing his run, he discussed the joke on a Reddit thread of his prank’s Twitch clip. “Glad you all enjoyed the cutscene edit, it’s always a fun moment to plan out,” BloodThunder wrote. He may plan something different for AGDQ 2021, however.

BloodThunder’s speedrun was filled with funny moments. Ten minutes after pranking the viewers with the fake crash, he roasted Twitch streamer Alinity by referencing the scandal where she violently threw her pet on stream.
BloodThunder finished the run with a time of 49:59, defeating the final boss in just one minute. The world record for a BioShock speedrun is held by glurmo at 39:19. BloodThunder currently holds the eighth quickest speedrun with a fastest time of 42:06.
This year’s AGDQ still has two full days of streaming ahead before the event concludes. Yesterday, it surpassed $1 million in donations. You can watch the stream here.
