What is AGDQ?<\/h3>\n Here’s how their website describes the event:<\/p>\n
\nGames Done Quick (GDQ) is a series of charity video game fundraising events featuring high-level gameplay. To date, GDQ has raised over 37 million dollars for charity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
AGDQ is run at the start of the year, and SGDQ (Summer Games Done Quick) is held in… you guessed it… the Summer. Each one features hundreds of speedruns from some of the best speedrunners in the business, and while there aren’t usually any world record-breaking runs during the streams, you still get to see some incredible talent on show, usually accompanied by a knowledgeable commentator .<\/p>\n
Alongside the speedruns, there are also competitions for viewers, skits, and prizes to be won.<\/p>\n
Which speedruns should I watch?<\/h3>\n <\/figure>\nWell, we tend to be biased towards Nintendo games, but Nintendo games also tend to make the most exciting speedruns anyway, so here’s our list (all times in ET, but the schedule will automatically detect your timezone):<\/p>\n

How can I watch speedruns that I missed?<\/h3>\n AGDQ keeps all the VODs (the recordings) of each speedrun on its YouTube channel. It takes a while to edit and process these videos, so you can expect the YouTube uploads to be at least a day behind the live schedule.<\/p>\n
