The 2015 Summer Games Done Quick Charity And Speedrunning Live Stream Marathon Event Has Begun
The 2015 Summer Games Done Quick charity/live stream marathon event has begun.
If you're unfamiliar, Games Done Quick is an annual marathon where speed runners gather in a single location, speedrun an impressive library of games at impressive speeds, stream the whole thing, and do it all in the name of raising money for charities Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The stream has begun and goes until August 1, and you can watch it here.
This year, the event is taking place in Game Informer's backyard, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and we brought in a few of its speedrunner players to show off their skills and tell us all about speedrunners and the event. Follow the links to see speedruns with our own Ben Hanson, Tim Turi, and Ben Reeves as Games Done Quick speedrunners Chris Grant, Tony Ogbot, and Seckswrecks run us through Gunstar Heroes, Crystal's Pony Tales, and Bloodborne. You can also check out our report from the 2014 PAX Games Done Quick panel by heading here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
