This was new to me too! When they said they were only a few minutes away yet had this battle still to go I thought they’d made a mistake!

The SGDQ 2022 schedule is out now! (June 26th - July 3rd)

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

An amazing selection of games here! Kirby & The Forgotten Land (That was quick!!), Metroid Dread (FINALLY!!), Banjo Tooie Any%, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Super Mario Odyssey, DKCTF... even Super Mario Maker 2 is back! This is one of the best selections we've had in quite some time! :D (Just what the hell is DKC Reverse Boss order!?!? I'm keen to see how that one works!)

BTW, for those that aren't aware... SGDQ 2022 will be an in-person event!!! Making it the first in-person GDQ since the COVID pandemic started in March 2020! So this is gonna be one to remember! :D

Wow I’d completely forgotten about this! At least I’ll be able to catch up on runs via their YouTube channel.  Anyone have any recommendations yet of what I should check out?

It only happened a few hours ago, so I doubt it's available on YouTube yet, but the Ocarina of Time Randomiser is a fun one.

Monster Hunter Rise marks the first time we've ever seen the series at GDQ, so that's worth a watch too.

AGDQ has been running for a few days now and some videos are up on YouTube.

Watched the Crash Bandicoot 3 (from the N. Sane Trilogy) run yesterday. And here I thought I could run through the game fast :p

Might tune in to the Super Mario Galaxy 2 race live and have it running on my second monitor while playing some games :D

Two days in and they're already at almost $350k. :peace:

SGDQ is ongoing. Pokémon Colosseum race about to start once Metroid Prime Remastered is done.

The Four Swords GBA run (first time at GDQ, that game) was fun, in that it is completely inaccurate to how the game is normally played. Trust me, if that comes to the NSO app, it won't be that cooperative.

Oh fantastic! Thanks!  I’ve just been watching some of AGDQ 2024 recently and hadn’t realised SGDQ 2024 was so close.  Will have to check the timetable to see what especially stands out this year.

You won’t want to miss it

Watched the first 10 minutes and I'm not enjoying it.
I know it's Games Done Quick, but the setup doesn't really work. The game needs lots of explaining and they immediately start with the Plasma Deck which is arguably the Deck that changes things up most.
Also: The guy running the game is making silly mistakes. I know, I know, the pressure of being on stage but still...

Would've preferred if he took things much slower and explained and thought about his moves more. Not sure if I'll bother watching the rest of the run ::shrug:

Holy crap, that "Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB" run was insane!

Literally, the only good baseball game I've ever seen! And proof that a dog can play a SNES game better than me.

Highly recommended!

Just a heads up, "Disaster Relief Done Quick" started a few hours ago. A shorter GDQ event to raise money for relief from the recent Hurricanes that hit America.

You can find it here.

Some of the highlights are, but not limited to;

Saturday
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Resident Evil Survivor
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2
Final Fantasy XVI
Diddy Kong Racing
Sayonara Mario World
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Octopath Traveler II
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Sunday
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster
F-Zero AX
Star Fox 64
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Super Mario Galaxy
Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Echoes of Wisdom is a pleasant surprise with how recent it is, that game has potential for some mad speedruns!

Lightmatter is up next, with TMNT (2 player, Arcade Mode) in about an hour at time of posting this.
