Another year another Awesome Games Done Quick done and dusted. In case you are unaware Games Done Quick or GDQ is a semiannual video game speedrun charity marathon. The event lasts seven days and is broadcast on Twitch. AGDQ this year raised $2,517,881 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which is who they usually support during the January marathon. I love watching video game speedruns. The first thing I do after finishing a game and before writing a review is look up if it has a speedrun. No one knows a game in and out like someone who speedruns it. There were a ton of amazing runs this year it was hard to narrow them down to just 10. I highly recommend watching the whole events VODs on Youtube, but I digress. Here are my top 10 runs from this years marathon.
