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!

Hyped to see GDQ again.

The Sonic block this time doesn't look that interesting to me, but it's understandable. The classic and mainline Sonic games have already gotten a huge amount of speedrun attention. The others can have their time to shine.

Also: how the hell is anyone supposed to play Sekiro blindfolded?

No SM64, has that ever happened before?

Man, just when I should be finishing my thesis... Guess I will have to watch some vods after the matter.

Mainly looking forward to Ori, Hades, Sekiro and all dem Zeldas. Sadly no Hollow Knight this year, but cant have everything. :>

Over a million dollars raised, so far

And this schedule does seem to be missing some of the usual, popular, heavy hitters; I see it as an opportunity to watch other games I wouldn't normally get to see
