Awesome Games Done Quick 2015: Speedrunning For Charity - January 4th - 10th

My girlfriend has loss a couple family members to cancer so I showed her this and we periodically watched it together when we weren't out and about. I would sometimes peep it on my phone then and she kept asking me what they made it to. The best part is she's not really into video games at all. Thank you AGDQ for doing something charitable through an awesome concept and giving the opportunity for us to bond over a common thread albeit a bit of a sad one. I just wish I could donate money

Real talk though, there's few game that I watch being played at a high level that cause me to just shake my head and go "nope".

F Zero GX is one of those games.

F-Zero GX is Insane, I didn't think it could entertain me this much.
Could someone invite me to the gaf chat? My twitch name is Key_Drop, stream chat is just spam.
 
I love high level F-Zero GX play. Reminds me of College (actually completed story mode on Very hard, unlocked everything) It also makes me realize I will never have that kind of dedication to play a video game ever again.

This has been extremely fun to watch...
So what is all that kill/save the animals?

Super Metroid, you're choosing whether or not to save the animals at the end of the game. Fastest method is to let them die. It is always the biggest donation incentive at GDQs.

In Super Metroid, at the end of the game, when you're leaving you have a choice of saving the animals or killing them (aka ignoring them and continuing to leave instead). There is a "donation war" where the highest amount donated will be the choice the runners make. So if "Save the Animals" has a higher amount of money donated towards it, the runners will have to stop to save the animals.

Super Metroid. At the end of the game you can choose to save a bunch of animals or let them die. The latter is slightly faster. This is always a big donation war at AGDQ/SGDQ.

EDIT: Sooo late!

Even with this guy's fails, the fact that he can even survive at these speeds for more than 10 or 20 seconds is hella impressive.
Doing this with such a big audience, both in the room and online, must make it so incredibly difficult to perform.
Stuck at work.
I dearly hope that the F-Zero block is thrown onto Youtube posthaste once it's done!
You can also just go to their twich account and click on 'past broadcasts' to see previous segments. Seems like they go up pretty fast in ~5 hour chunks.
