Summer Games Done Quick 2017 is a 7-day event (from July 2nd - July 9th) to raise money for Doctors Without Boarders.
Featuring over 100 games, speed runners will play continuously in order to collect donations for Doctors Without Boarders, the partner for this event.
During the marathon, donations enter you into various prizes, and can be used to determine the outcome of bidding wars!



Every year, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides emergency medical care to millions of people caught in crises
in more than 60 countries around the world. MSF provides assistance when catastrophic events—such as armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition,
or natural disasters—overwhelm local health systems. MSF also assists people who face discrimination or neglect from their local health systems
or when populations are otherwise excluded from health care.

MSF is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organization that aims first and foremost to provide high-quality medical care to the people who need
it the most. It does not promote the agenda of any country, political party, or religious faith, and, as such, endeavors to communicate its history,
background, and capabilities to all parties in a given situation so that it may gain the necessary access to populations in need.​

Title made me think someone was running that one Mario 64 hack.

Looking forward to destroying my productivity yet again.

Shout out to feasel for running the aLttP randomizer tournament these past two months. Amazing tournament to watch.

Let's hope it'll be in next year's AGDQ.

lots of tournaments and events going on regularly lately. It's a good time for speedruns.
 
Is that time of the year AWESOME I have been watching all the AGDQ's and SGDQ since 2013 I also try to always donate at least something. This event is a great example of how working together us gamers can achieve amazing things, it's going to be great

Strange that they're doing the Super Metroid race early. It's usually the single biggest donation incentive by far. You'd think they'd want to keep that going until near the end.

OH SHIT. This fucking snuck up on me. I am so in. RIP sleep for the next week! Hopeful for great runs and tons of money donated

I'm pretty excited to see half coordinated play Nier Automata.

If you plan on watching his run, make sure you play Route A first. Nier should be part of the Steam sale right now.

Oh, I cannot wait for the Resident Evil 1 speedrun. I hope the runner plays as Jill so we get Barry's excellence.

"What? What is this?" "It's a weapon, it's really powerful, especially against living things" "Jill! You're here too!" "You were almost a Jill sandwich" "Oh my cod!" "Weeeeesskker!" "Here's a lockpick" "Just-take-a-look-at this!"

On the other hand, Chris' campaign has some classic, underappreciated lines too. "Rebeeeccuhhuh!" "Looks like we got to the ROOT of the problem". And Wesker saying "I'm sorry, I'm not used to escorting MEN".
 
Nier Automata is such a weird game to open up to, especially ending with just the first chapter. It's also a pretty somber game too. Makes me very curious.

Another GDQ event woo whoop! I'll be joining the discord for the happenings.

Looking forward to another week of constant speed running goodness.

I'm excited for this to start back up. Niers a weird game to open on. I haven't played it yet so I'll be skipping it.
 
I'm going to watch Crash Bandicoot, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, Banjo-Kazooie, Super Meat Boy, Shadow Of The Colossus, Kingdom Hearts ll, Diablo 2, Dark Souls 3 and Super Mario 64 for sure.

But again no Bloodborne. =(

It's also sad to see that there's no Mario Maker race because those were always amazing.

Since the schedule doesn't list all of the games, I'll mention that the "Super Mario Series Warpless Relay Race" includes: Super Mario Bros. 1/2/3 (NES), Lost Levels (SNES/FDS) and Super Mario World. No warp zones/whistles/star world will be used.

Awesome, going to have this on all week. Now I just need to figure out which incentives I want to donate towards.

Looks like there's going to be a ton of really good runs!

halfcoordinated with Nier: Automata sounds like a great start

Nice. Thanks for expanding on this.

Metroid Prime 100% followed by SOTN should be a nice 1-2 combo.

Got to watch the Tony Hawk stuff too and maybe even Twilight Princess HD so I don't have to play the game to enjoy it lol

Some people have started doing this as a speed run themselves similar to 602 star runs. SMW gets left out sometimes because you can do all the others in All-Stars.

Will they still read out completely depressing stories during a run while shouting out "save the animals"? It's a weird juxtaposition that they've never seemed to get past.
