Like video games? Hate cancer? Jan 6-12 is gonna be AGDQ! Awesome Games Done Quick!

Basically, it's a charity speedrunning marathon whose proceeds go to the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

All you have to do it watch, and if it tickles your fancy, donate.

ALL kinds of games will be ran during the week. I would find the list but it's easier to list the games that WONT be ran: The bad ones. :lol:

Keep an eye out, it's sure to be interesting, and it's for charity. So get your good karma up and watch people play video games!

Awww man I wish I would've heard about this earlier! :(

They're still live it appears however! Well at any cost, any events similar to this in the future just let me know. I love things like this!

Can do; this summer they will be doing Summer Games Done Quick.

You can also check out Speed Demo Archives, they have the whole event recorded and segmented by game.

Of course, Wind Waker isn't on the list, because Mirrored__ was an asshat who rode Cosmo's dick the whole time and wouldn't stfu, even with a room of people passively giving him the "stfu" look.

But I digress, aside from the aforementioned asshatery, it was a great event, and they ended up raising about half a million dollars I think.

Thats amazing! Yes they always tend to have a bad apple unfortunately -_-. I just currently finished watching one this December that went on for the whole month and at some point someone was trying DDOS them.

Mega Man X in 36 minutes? No. Can't be done.

Oooh, Friday the 13th! My mom threw that game out because she thought it was too scary for me.

Not only is it possible, that was a rough estimate. People can usually beat it in minutes, no cheats.

 

Check out SpeedRunsLive , they usually have /someone/ speedrunning megaman

No, I refuse. If that damn game can be beaten in half a fucking hour, then my whole life is a lie!
