Super Mario 3d World up first.

Sadly I will not have much time to watch this year due to work, football and tennis but it should be good.

Damn, I forgot all about this due to the footie. Just tuned in now watching some dude play BioShock 2. It's probably as exciting as E3 as I always watch in amazement at some of the tricks employed by these folks to miss out whole chunks of levels.

Is it me or does there not seem to be as much buzz about this as there was for AGDQ?

Just watching highlights of SGDQ 2013 and wow had to watch the Double Dragon Neon run proper - I need this game, its mental...

Gonna have to watch the 2014 runs after the event - WC first I'm afraid. Anyone sees anything epic please post

Yeah I would agree with that the summer event is the smaller of the two.

Some guy playing Sonic Unleashed. It's making me go cross-eyed just watching him! I don't know how he does it as the speeds are insane. (Insane to someone who's only played Sonic on Sega Megadrive!)

I'm most looking forward to Monty on the the run on the C64, and PJ's Super ghouls and ghosts run.

Hopefully he'll end up using the torch.

One thing that's immediately noticeable - the plethora of platform games that were available on early PlayStation/Nintendo consoles. Now there's only Wii U carrying the torch really.

I think I've just seen the most amazing thing in gaming ever. A chap completed Super Meat Boy with 106% and then went on to do the forest chapter with his eyes covered. Superb!

This has been a fantastic week. I'll be sad when it finishes tomorrow. Highlight so far has been the Halo:CE legendary speedrun. Tonight is Half Life 1+2, Portal 1+2, just glad Brazil v Chile finished in time.

Didn't even know there was a EU version of speed running charity event, i will be watching for sho!

Watched an awesome Borderlands speedrun with a brilliant final boss finish. I'm finding the European event not as polished (read: fun) as the Games Done Quick though. There's a lot of messing about.

A heads up - Awesome Games Done Quick 2015 begins on 4th January at 5pm!

I know I'm probably talking to myself in here but another heads up that the 2015 European Speedster Assembly begins on Sunday.

Here's the schedule -

EDIT: Perhaps a mod could change the title to Speedruns

In case anyone else is remotely interested, Games Done Quick has started again today (3rd Jan 2016)

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

ic1male · 28 Jun 2016 at 13:12

I know I'm talking to myself but it's become part of a ritual for me now.

Notice that Summer Games Done Quick begins on 3rd July.

Excellent.

Looking forward to the Mario maker segment. That was by far the highlight of a less than stellar AGDQ earlier this year.

I also notice that the Tetris block is back after missing AGDQ. If you want to see the pinnacle of gaming, then you have to watch that. It's truly mind-blowing.
