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

Glad I could see the end of it, even put in a few bucks. But good lord this week disappeared.

Can't wait for SGDQ.

Time to eat, sleep, then do something productive. Thanks for the memories, AGDQ.

It was a great ending with them managing to hit a million during the last battle. Sad I was asleep for the RyanD push but you all did an amazing job getting that to win.

Now to go back into the archives and watch all the runs I missed over the week!

Bonus stream starts at 12PM PST with more TASbot.

@jjor64: I think it's actually 12PM EST.

@chaser324: my bad. Yeah, 12 PM EST.

Much love, duders. See you next big charity stream!

That's million bucks indeed. :)

Sad I missed the end but it would have been like 9am in the UK. Unbelievable how much has been raised. Doubled their donation goal. The whole thing has been fantastic to watch and I already cant wait for SGDQ.

The shows not quite over yet though. Bonus stream starts at 12pm local time, so in around 1hr 45mins.

@thegoldencat7: Yep! Gonna be great. =D

If anyone hasn't already seen, I made a little post that shows links to every run for your easy perusal: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/truthtellah/blog/agdq-2014-easy-links-to-watch-every-awesome-run/104467/

Plus an added reply highlighting what I would consider the best runs you have to check out. Hope it's helpful to some folks! :)

And thanks again for watching and donating!

Catching up on the last hour or so I missed last night. Big props to Giancarlo Varanini. He's the one from Gamespot that helped provide the equipment and contacted game companies for some of the prize items and such.

Yeah, Giancarlo is great. Really contributed so much to the marathon.

Here's him in a Giant Bomb video:

Hoooooly shit that Chrono Trigger run fucked up my sleep schedule for days.

Aaand Bonus Stream is live, opening with a run from TAS Bot. Game not yet revealed.

And now the real fun of every AGDQ marathon starts. These casual Bonus streams area always really entertaining so you should watch them^^

wow, when i made the bid for RyanD i never thought i would get that high (even though i was secretly hoping)

everyone who donated is ten types of awesome. it really does bring a tear to the eye to see everyone chipping in. damn, i miss that man.

AGDQ was awesome.

Oh darn, I missed Tasbot

D:

@deadpancakes: They rushed through it pretty quickly because they had a flight to catch. The other run was a lot better.

Anyone have a video timestamp for when the million dollar donation happened? I'm real bummed I missed it.

@turambar: Someone uploaded it on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55LHayXLER0 The timing was perfect, during the last boss of Chrono Trigger.

Watching the 2 players 1 controller Mirror's Edge run now, I'm always amazed at these kinds of runs.

Pretty cringeworthy when the announcer referred to Blueglass as ysg. But a Blueglass Ecco run has been confirmed for 10pm est. And of course the chat goes wild.

Pro YoCo is a sight to behold, esports at its finest right there.

Looking forward to catching a few of the runs I missed once they hit Youtube, since the twitch archive hates playing things smoothly for me.

For everyone who missed it.

@demoskinos: Does... Does that say Wand of Gamelon at 2:43AM? Oh fuck...

Classy, I like it.

I always love these Darksiders runs. So broken. Metroid Prime has a bunch of OOB glitches but Darksiders spends more time OOB than in, it's insane.

They lost me at "Qdoba is just as good as Chipotle"
