Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level play by speedrunners raising money for charity. Games Done Quick has teamed up with several charities in its five-year history, such as Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Millions of dollars have been donated to great charities, thanks to the GDQ speedrunning marathons, and many prizes have been awarded to those who donate!
Here is the main website of Games Done Quick: https://gamesdonequick.com/
Awesome Games Done Quick is the annual GDQ marathon performed in the winter, while Summer Games Done Quick is the annual GDQ marathon performed in the summer. This year, AGDQ is from Sunday, January 3rd to Sunday, January 10th.
Here is the schedule of all the AGDQ'16 games that will have speedruns, along with the names of the runners, expected run times (conservative overestimates), the category/ type of speedrun, and donation incentives (prizes you can win by donating during a specific speedrun, additional caveats you can create for the speedrunners, etc.): https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

Both the AGDQ and SGDQ marathons have been increasing in popularity and charity since their inception, with AGDQs generally having greater results. AGDQ'15 reached nearly $1.6M in donations, while SGDQ'15 reached $1.2M in donations. Hopefully, we can reach $2M for AGDQ'16!

Yeah it's my 4th year watching these marathons, and I've tried my best to donate a little every year Always such a great cause with great commentary on great video games!

These are the games I'm looking forward to the most:
Sunday 1/3
Super Monkey Ball- These runs are always insane! Generally a must-watch every year!
Kirby 64- Obligatory N64 nostalgia
Diddy Kong Racing- Obligatory N64 nostalgia
Super Mario 64- Always a classic run, and it's a 3-way race!
Thursday 1/7
Super Punch Out/ Original Punch Out- Absolutely a must-watch, especially because of the blindfolded runs! Saw it last year and it was the most amazing thing ever.
Friday 1/8
Star Fox 64- Classic N64
Banjo-Kazooie- Love this game and love Stiv
Diablo and Diablo II- Duh.
LoZ: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask- Double Duh.

|
Cant wait! :D Hopefully we can smash 2 million.
|
Diablo 1 and 2 should be interesting. Do they use preset seeds for those, or go in blind?
Blindfolded Punch Out race should be great. Here's hoping they beat Mike.
|
Awesome! Even though I've seen a lot of games speedrun already, agdq is always fun.

I'm sooooo hyped. And I have the week off. GG.
Really looking forward to MM relay, Mario Kart, Super Mario 64, Star Fox, OoT and Banjo Kazooie. Basically the good old Nintendo stuff.
Does anyone know if the Super Mario 64 run is a race again? Or is it relay?
|
I'm guessing that SM64 is a true race; it usually is.

Blind.

I usually look forward to these runs, but a lot of the runners/games I like won't be there (for various reasons). Probably won't watch it as much this year.
|
Thanks for the thread DPB!
|
You should probably add http://www.speedrun.com/ to the speedrun links.
Leaderboards for pretty much all the games and game series.
|
Too many exciting runs to list here, but man those NES blocks on wednesday, thursday and saturday are suh-weeeeet!
Sour about no Wind Waker though, either version would've been excellent. Both were <4'd rather recently, and I haven't seen other super long runs that are as entertaining!
|
I'm not sure what will be great... most of the times it were the surprises that left me speechless!
So, lets go with: "TASBot vs Humans -- Mystery Game" ... what the hell??? Will be great!
But with my luck I will not be able to see it live, because I'm at training 
Few hours left now!
@Admins: Do we get this stream in the timeline on the side?
