It’s that time of year once again, and nothing’s gonna stop it. The Games Done Quick (GDQ) speedrunning community has hit the green light on its annual summer event Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ), which will see some of the world’s fastest, and trickiest video game players blast through a mammoth list of back-to-back titles while raising money for a good cause.
As long-time GDQ fans know, these events generally operate out of the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Minnesota, but while the world remains mired in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the team has been unable to get together at their regular stomping ground. Undaunted, this year’s SGDQ is an online affair, and will see players streaming their runs from the own homes, delivering the same action we’ve come to expect from these awesome events, but within a safer, socially-distanced environment.
