Summer Games Done Quick!

[flamebyrd]

My physical and mental health have been teaming up to put me in a downward spiral of despondency recently, so I'm glad Summer Games Done Quick 2020 is running right now to provide some distraction.

If you're not familiar: Games Done Quick runs charity marathons of speedrunning (which is finishing a computer game as quickly as possible). It's a great way to find out more about speedrunning because all runs are commentated with the assumption that many people are unfamiliar with the game and/or the speedrun. This particular marathon supports Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders and is online-only, for obvious reasons.

I'll be keeping it on the TV while I study/browse the internet this week. If you're watching, feel free to recommend runs to me! I don't have anything in particular I'm hanging out for this time around.

Oh wow, thank you so much! All these suggestions look great, I also like races a lot so I'll definitely check those out (or watch the VODs).

If the Pump it Up! showcase is even half as impressive as the Guitar Hero (Clone Hero) showcase from AGDQ I am definitely going to watch it.

Yay, I'm glad you like those suggestions!

I think there might be another one or two races I didn't catch while scrolling through the schedule, btw. :)

RIGHT! That showcase was so cool!

The Pump it Up! showcase was definitely worth watching, wow.

Right! I haven't seen it yet, since it happened at my midnight, but I'm so happy to hear it happened and I'm excited to watch it. :)
