Strap in!

Awesome Games Done Quick is one of my favorite yearly events, yet I always seem to miss the opening day of themarathon broadcast. The holiday break kept me in a relatively unplugged and intoxicated state, away from the live stream, but I’m back. I’m committed. Let’s watch a bunch of people beat a bunch of games with impeccable speed and skill. It’ll be fun, I promise!

The full schedule is up here, and it’s absolutely worth consulting. You’ll see a breakdown of the start time for each individual game, who is speedrunning and/or commentating, how long the run is expected to take (Splatoonin under an hour? Believe!), and what type of run it is. To catch up on anything you’ve missed, head to thisYouTube channelfor archival footage.

Last year’s event brought in $1.5 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Let’s top that.
