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 throughout its history, such as Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Millions of dollars have been raised and donated, thanks to the GDQ speedrunning marathons, and many prizes have been awarded to those who donate!
Here is the main website for Games Done Quick: https://gamesdonequick.com/
Awesome Games Done Quick is the annual marathon performed in the winter, while Summer Games Done Quick is the annual 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'21 games that will have speedruns, along with the names of the runners, expected run times, 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

Additional streams and links will be added to the OP over the next few days, as more information is released 
Less than one week until AGDQ!

I'd think so, I recall a (blog?) post of Plexa's on TL announcing a wr from back when and following Plexa on twitch afterwards and saw Plexa streams in recent times that seemed to be GS speedruns. So unless there's a cosmological coincidence, it should be our very own Plexa. :D
Quite some games I'm looking forward to, glad in particular that LADX made it in for GBC. That run is so cool and filled with tricks and skips. Played it so much since I've been a kid, it really has its own place in my heart. In general, there seems to be a resurgence of games I followed closely in the past, so I'm really looking forward to this. Hope it all works out, but I'd assume so given there's plenty of experience already.

Looking forward to this as usual, it never gets old, although it seems most of my favourites are during when I sleep yet again haha.
Also nice to see one of the TLers represent.

Looking forward to AGDQ being on my second screen for the next week.
Good luck on your run Plexa! Golden Sun is a pretty amazing rpg series that came out of left field for me when I first picked up a GBA. Never did play the 3rd game though.

I've been trying to get in with The 7th Guest, but they're never gonna accept T7G lmao
maybe one day I'll get in with Deus Ex Randomizer, at least doing commentary for it
|
this Mirror's Edge run is sick
|
Yea, that was a great game to start with. Very fun to watch, enjoyable runner and commentators too.
|
just watched DKC and Just Cause 3, both were really good.
JS3 is pretty fun
|
for people who actually went to sleep, Otogi: Myth of Demons and Ghostbusters were a lot of fun

I'm a bit bummed that I missed Dark Messiah, did anyone catch it?
On a different note seems weird to me that none of the streamers nor the casters I've watched reacted to any of the donations mentioning loss. Am I weird to expect casters to shortly express condolences when people who gift 500$ to the organizers of the event mention that they lost their mother to cancer last year?
These people remind us that so many people are loosing people they value to cancer and that it really is one of the banes of our modern societies. While the stream is intentionally a bit light hearted a lot of the donators are explicitly donating because cancer left a mark on themselves or families and for me that's one of the things that brings us together for this event.

Yeah the Otogi run was awesome! Looking forward to Golden Sun, picked it up some years ago to casually play but never got around completing it. Will be interesting to see the game being broken by a TLer as well!
