Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 January 5th -11th!

IT'S NOT OVER YET.

Keep donating duders (using the gender neutral word duders).

Man, my weak heart can't handle the suspense.

D:

Edit: Oh god, we just pushed past $8000

I'm not sure their tradition of doing an extra long game as the finale is such a good idea. Stream is down to 65k viewers and falling right now. I remember the same thing happening last year with FF IX. The idea should be building excitement right until the end, instead of ending on this low key relaxed note.

Anyway. Huge congratulations to SDA and SRL folks for raising $850,000+ in donations this year.

KEEP DONATING to RyanD for robo!

Edit: THANK YOU Omnicent!

Incredible work duders. Way to support a cause and honor the big guy.

Love the applause by everyone in the room.

#miracles

We did it guys!

Love Ryan Davis. Totally gonna have to re-watch the Brono Trigger ER.

Happy RyanD beat Bendr. Even if I am a huge Futurama fan.

<3 Bobo <3 RyanD

We did it. Suck it Bender! =D

@hassun You were a goddamn life save. Wow man. That was an awesome clutch play there.

Edit: Also, thanks to Hassun and Omnicent for donating a combined total nearly 1000, at the last second.

I will be eating packaged rice for the next month or so but it was worth it.

Thanks again Omnicent for that extremely generous $750 donation.

@deadpancakes: I did a double take at that line as well. Coupled with the knowing applause by everyone in the room I couldn't help but tear up a little. RIP Ryan.

Well done everyone, well done.

@demoskinos:

Everyone on this list is http://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/bid/1245 worthy of all our praise.

And the Epoch donators as well of course!

@kingspeedy: Interestingly enough, I tried to take a screenshot of the naming process, but missed my chance. So I just tried taking a couple of screens with "RyanD" in it, and when I looked through the pictures I took, I saw that one, and imagined Ryan saying "Now it's my turn to help you." and felt like I had to post it.

Can't begin to explain how awesome this is. Great job!

@deadpancakes: Someone else snagged it

@deadpancakes: Now I just imagine somehow his being transferred into a bitchin' robot in the future.

@capum15: I'm just glad they said "dragging Robo's corpse" and not RyanD instead

@amyggen: Agreed. One of these times I'd really like to go to one of these streams. If I do I have a feeling he'd be an interesting dude to talk to.

To be clear, I've not been watching the chat this time.

I saw what goes on in it during last SGDQ and have hidden it ever since.

EDIT: Oh, wow. Just catching up and saw Ryan got in at the last minute. And people applauded? Damn, wish I saw that. Great job guys!

RyanD won as the name of Robo for the AGDQ Chrono Trigger run! It was super close to the end!

$9000 raised to prevent cancer in honor of Ryan.

Was going to put my donation towards 2poch, because it's amazing, but I had to go for RyanD when I saw it was so close. Amazing job, duders.

Looks like 2poch has a great chance to win anyhow.

I doubt it's entirely because of the game; it's dropped twenty to fourty thousand people every single night this week as it passed into the midnight hours for the east coast.

It's more of a shame that the run is ending in the middle of the night (for the US at least). SGDQ ended at a more reasonable hour last summer if I recall.

Thanks to everyone who donated for RyanD, that was a special moment. :)

I've been watching the Twitch chat whenever I watch this stream and I've seen nothing but love on there for the guy. His laugh prevents cancer.

@wariomona: Good to hear.

Nice going, guys.

Yeah, even the cesspool flooding Twitch chat could recognize how awesome Ryan was. Many rallied to vote for Bendr instead, nearly beating RyanD today, but everyone still sent love when it won. The crowd and runners at AGDQ clapped for him, as well. I could imagine hearing Ryan shouting, "FUCK YEAH!" when they announced that he won.

It was such a tense outcome. With a hour left, Bendr was up by over a $1000 and it was looking grim for RyanD, but duders donated over $3860 in the last hour to make the final total of $9000 in his name.

I couldn't give much, but everyone gave what they could. So thankful to everyone who donated.

And 2poch won for the name of the time machine!

Ryan's crazy naming conventions live on!

:D

Dumb Endurance Run jokes live on! You guys make me real proud.

Thanks for making the dumb jokes continue everybody! It was worth it in every way possible.

In total this marathon, Ryan-related donating appears to have raised over $23,000 toward preventing cancer.

Great work, everyone. <>

(Edit: People also donated $1000 to get the name of Crono to be "Brono". While not successful thanks to the huge Yetee shirt company's donation to make it "Yetee", it still means another $1000 for charity in honor of Ryan.)

RyanD leading this shit

@sgtsphynx: Watching him fire tackle mini-Lavos right in his smug face a few minutes ago was great.

RyanD may be gone but the goodness the man represents keeps on passing the good forward. 1 million hype!

GO DONATE RIGHT NOW

I'm up far too late, just to see if this hits 1 million before he beats Lavos. So exciting!

ONE MILLIONNNNNN!!!!!

ONE MILLION! RYAND THERE 'TILL THE END LASERING THE FUCK OUT OF LAVOS!

Fucking awesome job. Amazing stream, great runners. Great game to end it on.

Edit: WONDERSHOT!

I'm not sure what's more intense in that room right now: the excitement or the smell

1 million fucking dollars.

One million dollars, and RyanD saves the world. Map props.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in or told someone about this. This year was great. =)

Wish I'd put my money towards RyamD and not Brono, but whatever. Money for a great cause, and the duders came through.

ONE MILLION.

Time to get some goddamn sleep...

u_u

Thank you AGDQ 2014 for preventing me from getting some work done this week. What a great stream.
