Hello folks. I usually make one of these topics every time there are one of these things to spread the good word. Now I know a lot of you already know what to expect BUT if you haven't watched one of these or even know what Games Done Quick is I got a mini FAQ below.
What is Games Done Quick?
"Games done Quick" is a week long marathon where a bunch of speed runners from the SDA and other speed running communities come together to play games and raise money for a good cause. There are two annual events. Awesome Games Done Quick and its sister event Summer Games Done Quick.
What is money being raised for?
Medecins sans Frontieres a.k.a Doctors Without Borders is a humanitarian aid non-profit organization. They are on the front lines in areas affected by hunger, disease and natural disasters.
What games are being played?
You can check out the schedule right here.
Where Can I watch?
You can check the action out starting on the 26th on GDQ's Twitch page or if you would rather hang out with Giantbomb Duders mod @chaser324 will be embedding the streams on Explosiveruns.com where you can hang out in an IRC chat and chat with other duders.
Where Can I Donate?
You can check out the Donation Tracker right here. You can also check out the runs page on the donation tracker here where you can see the donation incentives for each run.
Community Donation Efforts
Each event for fun the Giantbomb Community decides on a donation incentive to pool all of our money towards. Some past examples are donating to name Yoshi "Gerstmann" in Paper Mario and naming Robo "RyanD" in honor of the Rough Tough and Dangerous Ryan Davis. Once everyone collectively decides on what everyone should donate to I'll update this spot.
Old Stuff! Get yourself Hype!
You can catch up on the last event and plenty more by going over to the GDQ YouTube Page where they have playlists for entire events including the previous event AGDQ 2015.
