Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 - Video Games

Every year the members of speeddemosarchive.com get together to do a marathon run of games to raise money for charity. It starts at 1:00 PM EST today and runs all week. The schedule is listed here.

July 2016 Schedule

I'm guessing the stream will be going on here.

Surprisingly addicting to watch. All the players they have are sick good, and they like to show off with other random challenges.

On the schedule:

"Note that start times are based on your computer's local timezone."

I love when they do races where 2 people play a game head to head. It's amazing when you're 10-15 minutes into a game like Mega Man and there is only 1 second or so separating the 2 players... it really helps you realize how refined these speed runs are.

I might try to catch some of the Metroid ones. Back before this sort of thing was more common I thought I was pretty badass at speedrunning Super Metroid, but of course I wasn't remotely close to these guys - I think my best time was around 1'10" with like 65% completion, so it's pretty ridiculous to watch how bad that gets spanked.

There has been some mean yet really funny sayings going down. The Swagger Poppins calls were pretty awesome.

Forgot this was this week! Awesome.

The stream chat is literally ALL about YSG. He is apparently all anybody can focus on.

Didn't work on work's computer, does at home, don't want it anywhere, I learned how to add five to a number quite a long time ago

Looking forward to all the AIDS games being on during the evenings and missing all the metroid
