What is Games Done Quick?
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.



2015 edition will feature a 7 day long speedrunning marathon going on from January 4th through to the 10th. Experienced speedrunners are invited to complete a variety of games as fast as possible. The event is meant to collect donations for Prevent Cancer Foundation. Please donate generously! Once it starts, it doesn't stop. Games are played continually for the whole period of the event.

AGDQ 2014 set a donation record for a total of $1,031,189! Let's see if we can beat it this year~!

AGDQ does a good job keeping the viewers entertained with a variety of games, prizes to win based on donations you make and giving the players various challenges to add in their speedruns. From any% fastest possible to 100% completion, each run is done in a unique way.

Special Events
During the marathons, there are several special events to entertain!
Donation bids for runs — As with every SDA marathon, you can donate for file names of your choice and for certain challenges in runs. However there are also challenges for different routes, character choices, difficulty levels, and more!
Races — If the excitement of seeing games demolished by speedrunners wasn't enough, then don't miss the intense speedrun races! Runners face off against each other to beat the game in record time!
Bonus Games — Throughout the event, opportunities will arise for some of your favorite games/runs from previous marathons to be showcased despite missing from the schedule.

I watched parts of the last two years editions and I had blast following the speedruns of some of my favourite games, absolutely mindblowing the tricks this guys can bring to the table. If you haven't followed AGDQ before, I reccomend to stick to games that bring you fond memories of your childhood, that's a great place to start Of course, watching speedruns of games you haven't played before can be fun too, just it's not as likely as the other way around
And if you have money to spare, you can donate, it goes for a good cause after all

I hope to see HC folks around~
