AGDQ 2025 kicks off this weekend promising Elden Ring on a saxophone and a 6-hour Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth speedrun, but I'm tuning in for two of the worst games ever made

Games Done Quick.

A new year is here, which means we're in the midst of that joyous time where the entire gaming community says in one voice: "oh crap, AGDQ starts this weekend!" Yes, the charity speedrunning event has once again crept up on us all, and there's a whole lot of fun stuff on the schedule - which, for sickos like me, includes some of the worst games ever made.

AGDQ 2025 starts on Sunday, January 5 at 8:30am PT / 11:30am ET / 4:30pm GMT with a brief kickoff show, followed by a full run of Pikmin on Switch to get things started properly. As always, the event runs for a full week, concluding the night of Saturday, January 11 with a map randomizer race through GDQ mainstay Super Metroid.
