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 10 million dollars for charity! We also average over 1500 people in attendance at our events, including staff, volunteers, runners, and attendees just looking to have fun and support the event!

Some of the games I'm looking forward to watching:
Diddy Kong Racing, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, Super Monkey Ball, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie (Stiv!), Pokemon Puzzle League, Kirby's Dream Land 2, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Chrono Trigger, Mario Kart 64, Tetris, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VII, Diablo II, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Earthbound (Ness!). Pretty much every major GDQ title besides Ocarina of Time!

As usual I'm mostly hyped for the N64 games. MK64 is great and relatively short. Some of the skips are mindblowing. You wish you had known them when you were battling your brother/friend/whoever. Lakitu is a drunkard 
Also really hyped for Majoras Mask, Mario64 and Banjo Kazooie. 3 of my all time favs. Just hope the donation reader will be more careful during stivs run. Don't want to hear the: "You had sex with your friends wife during gdq while he was there" memes like the last time.
|
I hope everyone posts highlights/ recommended games from this week, when they happen, so that those of us who miss them can check them out on the VODs
|
I was surprised there was no thread already & how soon the event is starting. If anything is missing from the OP, let me know.
And if someone could put the event to the TL calendar, would be great!
|
Was wondering when this was starting, sooner than I thought apparently.
Not conflicting with Evo this year either, which is good.

He's like 5x as good as me and he's using one hand 
|
oh shit nier automata speed run
edit : so many puns

|
I wish the schedule would include the platform in question, just "The Lion King" for example doesn't really say much.

Battle Kid is one tough nugget, I remember nothing but torture.
|
Looking at the speedrun, i dont really understand how someone can figure that maze out in Battle Kid.
|
Metroid Prime is awesome, as always. And I just saw that Actraiser is being run, fuck yeah.
|
Wow, SotN world record at a marathon. Not sure how played Glitchless Any % is, but still.
