Prevent Cancer Foundation is
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that
saves lives through cancer research,
education and community outreach.

Donate here!

It’s been a long and prosperous year for speedrunning. Twitch viewcounts skyrocketing, more and more partnered streams and a bunch of huge marathons were all kicked off by one thing:

AGDQ valiantly returns! The biggest and best speedrunning event running from Sunday, Jan 06 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) until late night Saturday 12th January! Speedrunners from all over are gathering once more in Washington DC to raise money live for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which focuses on research and education for preventable cancers.

That's right, more than 120 games! With the event getting bigger and bigger we’ve added an extra day to bring 6 full days of speedrunning goodness with our most ridiculous roster yet: There’s Final Fantasy IX, Ocarina of Time (100%) and Pokemon Gold. Samus, Sonic and Donkey return with even crazier runs. Hate console games? How about Portal 2, Amnesia or Starcraft 2? Retro only fan? Have some Contra, Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden. If any of you don’t cream yourselves in anticipation from at least one of these games then I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you. AGDQ even includes another fantastic night dedicated to awful games: Lick those lips in anticipation of Shadow the Hedgehog, Earnest Evans and Bio Force Ape. Check out the Marathon Schedule over on the SDA marathon page for a complete list of games and a time schedule. Oh, we also have Super Mario 64 120 Star and LoZ: The Wind Waker by you-know-who.

But why Awesome Games Done Quick?
Speedrunning has been huge over the last year and right at the centre of it you’ll find SDA, SRL & Twitch.tv all of which are involved here. This marathon is so hype that the marathon to send people there (Numbersmw marathon) was insane. Many of your favourite runners from Twitch are there alongside world record holders and people prepared to convince you that F-Zero isn’t that hard, Dark Souls is an hour long romp in the park and that Darksiders isn’t even a game (you’ll see what I mean). On top of that, the stream will run 24 hours a day for the entirety of the marathon. So long winter blues, hello speedruns!

In case you needed more convincing, Awesome Games Done Quick offers unbeatable live (on camera) speedrun commentary alongside the gaming action. With donation incentives that allow you to change the way the game is played as well as naming characters and even the chance to vote games into the marathon. On top of that, when you donate you get a shot at winning incredible prizes, from unique artwork, gaming replicas (like a goddamn GunBlade) as well as a load of games, collectibles and so on.

Check out the second post to find out how you can make an impact on the Marathon in our donation campaign: Name Steiner: Violet!

So why am I telling you guys this? Aside from my honest opinion that it’s the greatest gaming event of the year, this is something that I know Team Liquid has greatly enjoyed in the past. The members have had a massive presence in previous marathons and this year, we’ll have our biggest yet. The combination of high level play and relaxed fun atmosphere really show what gaming is all about: just a bunch of people having fun and playing games.

Oh, and I, Flicky will be there once again and I need your help! I will be trying to play Devil May Cry 3 on Saturday, Jan 12 6:45am GMT (GMT+00:00) (Very Hard, New Game+) but it's a donation war between Vergil and Dante! Whichever character gets more money, is the character used in the run. I'll be the Dante runner and Spineshark the Vergil runner so it all hangs in the balance.

On top of that I'll be doing Left 4 Dead 4 Player Co-op Tuesday, Jan 08 5:45am GMT (GMT+00:00) on so come check it out, make a few donations and tell your friends! Other TL members will be there running games too:

Carl_Sagan - Yoshi’s Island 100% Monday, Jan 07 12:10am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Lee (tribute on TL) - Fallout & Fallout 2 Tuesday, Jan 08 9:35am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Raelcun - Starcraft 2 Brutal Thursday, Jan 10 7:10pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (Win pro-team uniforms!).

We would all greatly appreciate your support while we crush these games.

So be there for the biggest and best speedrunning event in history. If you thought last year was insane, you haven’t seen anything yet...

(I'd like to thank TL.net for giving me permission to promote this event and pachi for making this post amazing)

    Spooky speed run with major skips by AdamAK
    Tuesday, Jan 08 4:40am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for saving Agrippa, or leaving him to die.
    Prizes: 5 copies of the game!

    Following the stellar Penumbra trilogy, Frictional Games have once again outdone themselves in creating what is possibly the scariest game out there. Are you a bad enough dude to watch this speed run without soiling your pants?


  • Ape Escape


    Any% by Skateman222
    Saturday, Jan 12 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

    Famous for being the first game to force Twin Analogue controls, infamous for being so goddamn broken. Catch a bunch of apes with... infinite jumping? Sure why not!


  • Bad Dudes


    any% by MURPHAGATOR!
    Thursday, Jan 10 12:40pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?

  • Banjo Kazooie


    100% by StivityBobo
    Sunday, Jan 13 4:20am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: FrankerZ N64 Controller

    Banjo Kazooie. A bear and a bird. The end.


  • Batman (NES)


    Any% by funkdoc
    Wednesday, Jan 09 12:15am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donate to make a race with Sinister1
    Prizes: NES Batman perler

    It's by Sunsoft (which is apparantly a good thing). It's also a bit like Castlevania with wall jumps and is waaaay harder than it looks. Par for the course then really.


  • Batman: Arkham City


    Any% Batman Only by RoboSparkle
    Wednesday, Jan 09 12:40am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for Hard Mode vs. New Game+, Donation War for choice of Batsuit (9 to choose from, shown Here)
    Donation incentives to complete Catwoman DLC, Riddler Hostages and other side missions

    Prizes: NES Batman Perler, Batarang, Framed Picture of the Joker, 2 x Batman: Arkham City Steam games

    Batman returns in the highly-anticipated sequel to the smash hit, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Watch Batman beat up entire gangs of inmates, a giant zombie troll, a short cockney bloke, solid walls, a bunch of sand ninjas, the laws of physics, a cryogenic scientist, a psychiatrist and a guy with WAY too much make up on. With enough donations he'll also take on a quiz enthusiast, a bunny-ears milliner, a mexican wrestler, some invisible guards, and the laws of physics (again)


  • Battletoads & Double Dragon


    Any% co-op with friendly fire by PJ & Mecha Richter
    Monday, Jan 07 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: Battletoads & Double Dragon perlers, Jimmy & Billy perlers, Battletoads VHS, Double Dragon II (NES) complete-in-box!!!

    This crossover title was created by the same team that made the original Battletoads. It was released 2 years later than Battletoads, which gave the developers extra time to make sure that nothing works properly. This run is going to showcase so many glitches, you will literally have a difficult time figuring out how the game was actually meant to be played.


  • Bayou Billy


    Any% by feasel
    Thursday, Jan 10 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)


    Driving 180mph down dirt roads and beating people with sticks. It's a feasel game alright. Awful Games, thy name is Bayou Billy.


  • The Binding of Isaac


    New Game + w/ Wrath of the Lamb DLC run by RaneofSoTN
    Tuesday, Jan 08 3:50am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donations for choice of Character played
    Prizes: Set of Binding of Isaac Perlers

    The Binding of Isaac is a miss mash top down dungeon crawling shooter created by Edmund McMillan of Team Meat and Florian Himsl with music by Danny Baranowsky. Come see Isaac crawl through his basement finding all sorts of mixed 'power-ups' to eventually stop his 'evil mom' from killing him. Don't let the pleasant looks lull you into a false sense of security... The game is harder than it likes to let off...


  • Bio Force Ape


    Any% by Garrison
    Saturday, Jan 12 12:10pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

    A cancelled game thought lost in time given back to us by a higher power. Monkeys and Minecarts return again. Also, did you even read the name of this game? It's fucking Bio.Force.Ape.


  • Bionic Commando Rearmed


    Any% by KennyMan666
    Friday, Jan 11 5:40pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    No donation incentives yet
    Prizes: N/A

    Watch some more fast-swinging wire action in this stylish remake of the NES classic! Join Nathan "Rad" Spencer as he single-handedly demolishes the Empire's plan and still comes home in time for lunch.


  • Blaster Master


    Any % (Deathless, Hopefully) by UraniumAnchor
    Tuesday, Jan 08 11:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: 3D Tank Perler, and complete boxed copy of the game signed by the producer, Rich Robbins

    When your frog jumps out of its aquarium and mutates to a gigantic size, what would any teenager do? Chase after it, of course! Especially when you stumble across a hyper-advanced vehicle and a pilot suit just your size. With a large, varied world to explore and a kickin' soundtrack, see what happens when you fall into the pilot's seat...


  • Blaster Master 2


    Any % by UraniumAnchor
    Thursday, Jan 10 11:15am GMT (GMT+00:00)

    This is what happens when you hire a game company that had never played the original to make your sequel, and hire monkeys to write the music.


  • Braid


    Any % by CyberBotX
    Thursday, Jan 10 6:25pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation incentives: None
    Prizes: None

    Tim is searching for a princess. Tim is able to manipulate time. Death isn't a factor because you can just rewind time and do things over again so you (hopefully) don't die again. The goal to beat the game is to collect 12 jigsaw puzzle pieces in each of 5 worlds, and solve said puzzles, in order to reach the final world. The game's time manipulation comes into play in order to get all the puzzle pieces.


  • Captain Comic


    any% by Mecha Richter
    Thursday, Jan 10 12:25pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: Random games w/manuals, Lagoon SNES cartridge and AwfulGDQ drawing

    A remake of a DOS classic, Captain Comic is a game where you're sent to a planet to retrieve 3 stolen treasures. The game doesn't have any objective beyond that, so Mecha Richter takes advantage of that and abuses a bug to save a bunch of time on an already short run.


  • Castlevania


    Any% by Funkdoc
    Friday, Jan 11 1:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation incentives: none
    Prizes: Medusa & Trevor perlers and Simon & Dracula ukiyo-e print

    Watch the Castlevania master navigate through Dracula's castle with tough jumps, tricky damage boosts, and creative subweapon usage as he crushes the game in under 15 minutes!


  • Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse


    Any% (character choice for donations) by Funkdoc
    Friday, Jan 11 1:50pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for Trevor only, Alucard, Grant, or Sypha
    Prizes: Medusa & Trevor perlers and Simon & Dracula ukiyo-e print

    The WR holder for every category in CV3 is at it again! This time will he be soaring through the game with Alucard, climbing up walls with Grant, or utilizing ice skips with Sypha? The fans will decide with donations!


  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night


    All bosses (choice of Alucard, Richter, or Maria) by romscout or MechaRichter
    Tuesday, Jan 08 7:55pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for Alucard, Richter, or Maria all bosses runs
    Prizes: Sealed copy of SoTN, Soma, Yoko & Julius perlers, Curse of Darkness bag and Shield Rod Image perler

    Castlevania: SotN has been a speedrun classic that has appeared in every SDA marathon (and even the community marathons) so far. Fans of previous marathon runs can donate for romscout to do a spectacular glitchfest with an Alucard all bosses run that will feature even more crazy stuff than in the past, or for MechaRichter to show off some of the new techniques and tricks he's worked on (including some previously thought to be TAS-only) that have allowed the Richter all bosses run to drop under 26 minutes! Maria is also available in this donation war for the first time in marathon history. Viewers can donate for romscout to play as this Sega Saturn-exclusive character, go to a hidden area with an extra boss not found in other versions of the game, and of course show off plenty of cool speed techs and even a few version-exclusive glitches. The runners will provide a great run to watch regardless of the winning character, so get ready to see SotN destroyed like never before!


  • Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow


    Soma any% by Mapler90210
    Tuesday, Jan 08 6:40pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donations for Hard Difficulty, Boss Rush as Julius
    Prizes: Sealed copy of SoTN, Soma, Yoko & Julius perlers, Curse of Darkness bag and Shield Rod Image perler START

    Albino Mexican in Japan and inheritor of Dracula's power, Soma Cruz suddenly finds himself in Dracula's Castle during a full moon. Curious, he ditches his girlfriend during a monster attack and strolls through the castle, swiftly eliminating any monster in his path. Eventually, even walking proves too troublesome (he did climb a mountain of stairs just to get there, after all), so he opts to simply pass through the castle walls, instead, recovering the castle's most powerful weapon and cutting off the source of the castle's energy: Chaos itself. In the end, it still isn't enough to escape his girlfriend.


  • Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow


    Soma NG+ all bosses by Satoryu OR Julius mode any% by romscout
    Tuesday, Jan 08 7:05pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for Soma NG+ all bosses by Satoryu, or Julius mode any% by romscout
    Prizes: Sealed copy of SoTN, Soma, Yoko & Julius perlers, Curse of Darkness bag and Shield Rod Image perler

    This is the first DS Castlevania game and the direct sequel to Aria of Sorrow. If Soma wins the bid war, viewers will have the pleasure of watching Satoryu perform many zips and other cool glitches as he demolishes all of the game's bosses in under 40 mintues. If Julius wins, romscout will play the game's alternate mode with Julius, Yoko, and Alucard in a glitchless fashion but with several speedy techniques including some unbelievably fast jump slashing. Regardless of the mode that wins, this game will provide nonstop, entertaining action for over half an hour.


  • Commander Keen 5 & 6


    Any% by CosmoWright
    Tuesday, Jan 08 10:20am GMT (GMT+00:00)

    A DOS classic. Relive horrible sound-effects and... 8 bit-ish graphics. Cosmo rushes through with pogo stick and helmet to go. It's time to save the day or... something.


  • Contra


    Any% by Mr. K
    Friday, Jan 11 11:20am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: Bill & Lance Perlers, Contra Drawing & Hard Corps Artwork

    Contra. No cheat code. That's enough to hype you up.


  • Super C


    Any% by Mr. K
    Friday, Jan 11 11:40am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Super C Perler

    Fast mashing and lots of not dying. Super C returns to emasculate every one of you.


  • Contra III: The Alien Wars


    2-player by Mr. K and Hurblat
    Friday, Jan 11 12:20pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation for with or without weapon upgrades
    Prizes: Bill & Lance perlers, Contra drawing and Hard Corps artwork

    Aliens once again pose a grave threat to humanity, and what better way to thwart their evil plans than to attack aggressively and drive them to their graves with even more posing? Watch Mr. K and Hurblat interpret the Alien Wars the way donations say. Will these two be able to top the 2 guys 1 controller show from last year? They have no plans to do otherwise. Come for the game, stay for the choreography.


  • Contra: Shattered Soldier


    Co-op by mikwuyma and Hurblat
    Friday, Jan 11 12:55pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation for the true ending
    Prizes: Jimen-Gyo drawing, Contra drawing and Hard Corps artwork

    Two Contras are always better than one, and that's why Mick Williams and Hurblat are taking on IGN's most challenging PS2 game. Watch as the two wade through hues of brown and gray and take down a boss a minute.


  • Dark Souls


    Full game by Kotti
    Friday, Jan 11 6:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donate $400(?) for killing Demon Firesage and Centipede Demon, donation war for choice of ending (Link the Fire vs. Dark Lord)
    Prizes: None

    Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, is known to be one of the most challenging games in the recent years. This time ringing the bells and gathering lord souls isn't going to take countless hours and deaths thanks to some well chosen pyromancies that will make the bosses fall in a matter of seconds.


  • Darksiders


    Any% by Aftermath
    Friday, Jan 11 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: War Drawing

    This game is just a mess. To add some excitement, you can enjoy the Darksiders drinking game. There's easy mode and hard mode. Easy mode is to drink every three minutes he stays inbounds. Hard mode is to drink every three minutes he's out of bounds. Good luck.


  • Devil May Cry 3


    New Game+ on Very Hard Difficulty by flicky or Spineshark
    Saturday, Jan 12 7:10am GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Donation war for Dante (flicky) or Vergil (Spineshark)
    Prizes: Dante & Vergil perlers, artwork & copies of HD Collection!

    After messing up with DMC 2, Capcom made it all better with a return to stylish combat in this technical Hack and Slash. Using a multitude of clever strategies and exploiting a few over-powered moves, the game will look as difficult as a disney tie-in. Are you motivated?


  • Donkey Kong 64


    Any% by cfox7
    Monday, Jan 07 3:20am GMT (GMT+00:00)

    A hilarious buggy game run in a glorious 45 minutes full of walking through walls, jumping high for no reason and all manner of fantastic glitches. A shining example of 3d platforming on the N64.

    Any% by Twig
    Wednesday, Jan 09 10:10pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

    One of the greatest snes games deserves and amazing run. DKC2 is full of awesome platforming gameplay and a few wrong warps thrown in for good measure. No banana pun necessary.

    Final Fantasy IX was square's attempt to regain the magic of the 16 bit era returning one again to a medieval setting to save the princess or crystal or whatever. Final Fantasy IX is a unique Final Fantasy in the sense its the only game that has a balanced combat system; no more reverse joker dooms, Cait Sith slots, Limits or Trio of 9999 on every boss. The game will require perfect execution if they want to be done correctly and world map encounters will end the run.

    So watch as SpikeVegeta and Puwexil stutter step their way into throwing tents at giant water snakes. Killing Zidane and Vivi at every moment and stealing swords from allies about to die for Steiner in disc 1. In disc 2 they will avoid the horrible Cleyra town tour while making Fossil Roo look like a stroll in the park. If you think you know how to play Final Fantasy IX you're in for a surprise.

Unfortunately for our bearded deity, dying has never really stopped Kratos for long, as he climbs out of Hades and goes on a quest to find the Sisters of Fate, who can send him back in time to the moment Zeus betrayed Kratos. Mostly though he just spends a lot of time swimming out of bounds and using the power of his massive hammer to jump higher.

    Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), more commonly known as Sonic 06, is the single worst game in the entire Sonic franchise.

  • StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty


    New Game on Brutal Difficulty by Raelcun
    Thursday, Jan 10 7:10pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
    Prizes: Two signed FXO Korea Team Jackets and a MVP Razer Goliathus signed by the MVP Roster

    Blizzard's new campaign for Starcraft 2 is much more interesting to play than the old ones as it includes a mostly open ended mission path, choices on unit upgrades, and new, more interesting, tactics than merely "kill everything." Most notably is the inclusion of the "Brutal" difficulty which is basically Hard++. Many things have extra health, all enemy units start with upgrades and by halfway through have maxed upgrades. The difficulty level was so great that many players never finished the game on Brutal.

    Raelcun, On the other hand, will blaze through the game on brutal and make it look easy. Including straight up abusive tactics, a couple instances of Ninja Zeratul, nuking objectives in under 5 minutes, and sending small armies to kill objectives that have no business ever doing so.

    To anyone who is familiar with the StarCraft Universe, this should be an eye opener on what is possible.

    Like the other members of the Ghosts 'n Goblins family, the player controls Arthur on his quest twice through the game to rescue Princess Prin Prin from the clutches of evil.

Check the campaign status on the Donation Tracker
Each year, AGDQ has lots of donation drives for various challenges, naming characters and pulling off certain tricks. In the AGDQ`11 thread, Jibba mentioned grouping up to name a Chrono Trigger, I loved the idea and last year we banded together in our attempt to name Tifa, ESPORTS.

As you may recall, we missed out on our initial goal and had to settle for Cait Sith. However, in the process we helped turn the Tifa naming into one of the biggest donation drives at any marathon (it took in over $8000) and really made a difference on the marathon total.


This year is Final Fantasy IX and we’re setting our sights just as high and going to an even worthier cause. We had a lot of fun last year with ESPORTS but we thought that with the passing of BW Pro Woo “Violet” Jung Ho to Leukaemia this year, there would no more appropriate name than his. While initially thinking of naming Vivi “Violet”, we decided that Violet deserved to lead the charge and be the real king of the run. Why is that?

Steiner is the goddamn man and anyone who disagrees doesn’t know shit. Everyone is just bleh in comparison.

Steiner is used for the majority of the run and while appearing a bit of a clown is honourable and brave in the face of danger. Oh, and he destroys every enemy he comes across and gets to use the rarest equip in the entire game – The Excalibur II. He is an absolutely key part of the team (much like Violet was) and would be the best dedication we can give.

Now obviously you don't have to donate for this if you don't want to. If you want to donate for a challenge or for another game, go right ahead! If you really can't donate but want to help out, you can still advertise to your friends and just enjoy the show! However, with a nice group effort like this, the TL community can really make their mark on the marathon and do some good. If you want to donate to name Steiner “Violet”, all you have to do is tune in while watching the marathon, then click the chip-in page. Once you've sent in your money by whatever means you want, just leave a chip-in comment (not paypal) saying that your money is towards naming Steiner, Violet! You can also shoutout to TL, your dog, house or anything you want there. There might be a start point for donations, so if you're unsure if they've started yet, just ask in chat!

The main drive will be during Raelcun’s Starcraft 2 Brutal run on Thursday, Jan 10 7:10pm GMT (GMT+00:00)!

I look forward to seeing Violet taking the fight to Kuja in Terra (& beyond)!

Yeah! This is such a sick post for a sick event! I'm so excited for this, been waiting a long time.

I'm really happy with the TL drive for a Violet dedication. It's especially appropriate considering the cause this year.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

I'm kinda sad that the games I want to watch the most are almost all at nighttime for me.

I have one question though as I have been watching some of these guys stream the last week: What are the games with the most and least amount of glitches ^^

AGDQ! Yeah! I'm totally gonna donate! Cool posts!

I like the effort you put into it year after year. It's almost like a family reunion. But it seems that the list of names has changed, and so has the family. That's kinda sad. Well I'll be tuning in when I can. Run faster!
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

Difficult to say!
A fan favorite heavy glitched run is Zelda: Links Awakening
You can at it here (i.e.):
http://www.archive.org/download/AwesomeGamesDoneQuick/AwesomeGamesDoneQuick_part61_LinksAwakeningGlitched.mp4

Aside from that: Sonic games are also always heavily glitched.
But personally I like great glitches, but more important is the pure skill of many of these runners! i.e. looking at "breakdown" destroying Super Meat Boy is pure art!!

Ocarina of Time is incredibly glitchtastic--MST and All Medallions (the latter affectionately known as wacky% by many speedrunning fans) are such incredibly broken categories... in All Medallions you literally kill King Dodongo then warp straight to the credits.

All Medallions (commentated):


I can't find a video of the current MST route because zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards is down atm
