What is Games Done Quick?
Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level gameplay by speedrunners raising money for charity. Games Done Quick has teamed up with several charities in its six-year history, including Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
To date, Games Done Quick has raised over 8 million dollars for charity! We also average over 1400 people in attendance at our events, including staff, volunteers, runners, and attendees just looking to have fun and support the event!

Will be adding donation and tracker links, r/speedrun VoD Thread and other info when the are up.
|
Will catch as much as I can this year again. Most games tend to be interesting even if I never want to play them myself.
|
Looking forward to Contra series, Pokemon Emerald, Time Cop, Tom and Jerry, and HL Blue Shift
What are going to be the contenders for funniest speedruns?
|
Looking at the line up this year, it looks really promising with lots of new titles. Personally can't wait.
|

Hope I'm up in time to catch the start.

Willl probably have a look at it again, but I feel that with every iteration, there are fewer games I know (and those which I do know are streamed at horrible times), so I have lost quite some iterest.
However, it is an event for a good cause, and I hope it will be a success once more.
|
My body is ready!
I'm especially looking forward to all the NES stuff, but also Quake, Jazz Jackrabbit, The Wind Waker etc.
Let's go!

I'm a bit sad that there is no N64 game.. at least I didn't saw any.
but should be a good show.
|
Fuck yeah, I look forward to these every year.

Yeah, Ocarina of Time would've been great with the latest any% route (even though it's played on WiiVC with a GCN controller...). Well, at least there's 3D.

I'm in the same boat as you are... I love watching N64 speedruns and I'm sad that this year's AGDQ is missing them, so I'm looking at this week as an opportunity to branch out and watch some speedruns that I wouldn't normally watch (+ donating to a worthy cause, of course!)
|
Donation links and /r/speedrun VOD thread added. Let me know if anything is missing/incorrect.

Uffff. Honestly I was never less hyped for a GDQ. A lot of the favourite speedrunners missing, no N64, not a single one of my childhood or favourite games, and so few of the 'big' speedrunning games. I mean I'm going to watch anyways (injured and bedridden) but still... I feel like if they actually break their donation record, than it's mostly because twitch get's bigger and bigger... but maybe I'm also getting pleasantly surprised
|
woah they are playing sunset riders tomorrow
this is hype
|
I just saw that Peaches is playing Catechumen again, how anyone can naysay this years lineup is beyond me
