The biannual Games Done Quick speedrunning marathon has again raised millions for charity.

The runs themselves on are slowly being uploaded on their YouTube channel.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 (AGDQ24) will take place Jan 7th to Jan 14th and raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

Do the GDQs have terrible marketing, or do I just never encounter it? I always discover it on day 2 or 3.

Always enjoy working my way through the VODs over a couple of weeks.

I feel like back in the early 2010s they were a much more hyped event, with loads of creators talking excitedly about going. Especially with heavy-hitters like Siglemic showing up.

Nowadays I feel like it’s become much more like a typical sports show, where lots of people watch but not much discussion happens.
