Stoked for this

This is so tasteful and kind of the speedrunning community. I'll be donating for sure.

I'm most excited for "I Wanna Run The Marathon", it's a great I Wanna Be The Guy fangame with a fun to watch speedrun due to all of the gimmicks the gameplay has. It starts off seeming generic and done before...but be sure to stick around! I promise you'll enjoy it.

Wish this was already running

This whole thing literally came together in the span of about two days I don't know how much faster they could have done it

 

[LordAlu]

Definitely looking forward to this, especially Rockman & Forte and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow!

 

[BrokenFiction]

Less than 5 hours to start.

The organizers deserve all the kudos in the world for the speed (no pun) at which they put this together.

 

[Falk]

I don't know how much faster they could have done it

youre talking about a community who lives and breathes doing things faster than the previous record

 

[StarCreator]

It still seems a tad early for BotW and a six hour Chrono Trigger run pushing the RE1vsRE2 race into the early early morning is lame, but that is a fantastic schedule otherwise.

Chrono Trigger 100% Glitchess let's goooooo

I'm definitely surprised a six hour Chrono Trigger run made it in considering Chrono Trigger has already been featured in the last several GDQs if I recall correctly. Has there been a significant change in tech in that game?

 

[StarCreator]

Two hours to go!

Pretty hype about this starting off with Mega Man X, which I try to catch live every event.

 

[StarCreator]

Stream is up and counting down to start!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Cool.

 

[Nanashrew]

The stream is live! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

 

[N° 2048]

Let's do this.

 

[StarCreator]

They just clarified on stream: use only the donation link on their website. Bits and subscriptions can't be turned off and will not go to the intended charity.

 

[SmiteOfHand]

Right on. Hope this works out without too crazy many technical issues. Would be cool if they could do more of these smaller weekend virtual streams throughout the year.

I disagree. Wearing out the event's welcome would just mean donor fatigue and less donations as people get bored of the event.

True, though by more I meant 2-3 total, tops. More for special circumstances such as this that is very flexible, not a rigid and stale every other week thing that people ignore.

 

[bulletbill10]

if you like the normal shirts offered during GDQ, don't forget to check out the yetee during this event too. They have a few shirts they worked out quick for this event. I bought a couple of the mario ones for myself.

 

[StarCreator]

They fixed the painting.

 

[Nanashrew]

They fixed the painting!

EDIT: beaten by a second!

 

[TheContact]

wow already 23k and have only been on for an hour =D

 

[Kalentan]

That lag was insane lol.

 

[Altazor]

Frame Drops Done Quick indeed, lol

 

[StarCreator]

I didn't get my donation in in time to be read

 

[Crocodile]

Damn I forgot about this and missed the X runs at the start >_<

Anyway, great on GDQ for doing this! Hopefully a good bit of money can be raised

 

[StarCreator]

So you might notice Save The Animals is leading by an uncharacteristically large margin - $3000 vs $1000 at last check. This might be a reason why.

.... Oh, there's my donation, about 35:40 into Crash.

 

[StarCreator]

VoD thread is up over at Reddit!

 

[kitsunelaine]

This needs more exposure. Such an awesome thing to be doing.

 

[Sir Griffith]

As a Houstonian and a huge fan of GDQs, I forsee myself donating to this multiple times over the next couple of days. I was not affected much by the hurricane and want to give back to my community in every way I can.

 

[Envelope]

oh sweet just in time

 

[Gurrry]

Awesome that theyre doing this.

 

[Ricerocket]

Man that El Matador run was hilarious. Need more random games like that being run, or bigger awful games done quick segments.

 

[StarCreator]

Looks like there was a schedule change. There is now a Mega Man 6 race following Rockman and Forte.

 

[immortal-joe]

Too many games from the same series, especially Nintendo franchises and Megaman, but that's what the community wants I guess. Donating when I get home, great idea.

Can't speak for scheduling per se but I think it's reasonable to assume the run variety is a function of what runners were able to donate their time for. GDQ doesn't request the games the runners run. The Mega Man 6 race was originally not going to happen until someone had to drop out, necessitating a backup to take the timeslot.

 

[StarCreator]

RIP the Mario Galaxy 2 runner just had a total failure of his internet connection and has ended the run half an hour short of his estimate - the time to get it fixed would wreck the schedule. The incentive run that was earned is being done by a backup runner.

 

[squall23]

It's time for MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!!!!!!!

 

[LordAlu]

Densha De D is everything I could ever hope for.

 

[TheContact]

need more viewers this is great

 

[RoadHazard]

Is the stream super hitchy for anyone else? Looks like it's skipping frames all the time.

EDIT:

There have been reports of frame hiccups whilst watching due to the fast moving nature of the default GDQ chat. If this is affecting you, you can either join GAF Chat (instructions are further down the OP) or you can watch just the video with no chat by going to
https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=gamesdonequick​

I'm casting to my TV, so there's no chat.

EDIT 2: It's actually smoother in my browser, with the chat. Guess my TV just sucks as a cast receiver. So much for that X1 Extreme processor.

EDIT 3: Much smoother using https://nightdev.com/twitchcast/ than casting directly from Twitch.

 

[SmiteOfHand]

^^ other than the rare, obvious framedrop issues from the streamer themselves, has been all good on Chromecast. I know that is not particular helpful, but as a data point for reference.

Absolutely

 

[Alastor3]

FEZ is coming next, i can't wait!!

 

[Tizoc]

Rather disappointed he is playing on Easy, but if anyone is interested in getting the game, it is on Steam
store.steampowered.com/app/511010/TAIKER/

 

[Pedersen]

Ori run was super entertaining having just recently finished the game. Great chemistry and energy! The Frog skip making Vulajin take the lead was the highlight!

 

[legendaryskitch]

Are they running an hour late or something? Schedule says Castlevania should be on now but Bastion is still near the beginning of the run

 

[NormalFish]

I think it's bonus content? These always run late, though, so could be right. I haven't been keeping up very diligently.

 

[StarCreator]

There was a bonus Bastion run. Castlevania is starting now!

 

[BrokenFiction]

They did a NG+ run immediately afterwards.

 

[StarCreator]

Battletoads run just now was crazy.

TAS block coming up now, starting with more Battletoads.

BotW master mode incentive still hasn't been met and not much more time to do it...
