Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), a yearly speedrunning event raising money for the Prevent Cancer foundation, is ringing in the new year January 5. In case you're unfamiliar, AGDQ is a yearly charity event that sees speedrunners chewing through a buffet of games, streamed live to an eager audience.
It always produces some brilliant spectacles, like a dog playing (digital) baseball. Hey, there ain't no rules that say it can't happen. My personal favourite actually comes from Summer Games Done Quick in 2023, wherein a bunch of determined chefs play Ratatoullie and keep up the "Yes, Chef" bit the entire time. Both AGDQ and SGDQ are always instructional and hilarious—and all for a good cause, with AGDQ raising over $2.5 million dollars last year.
