Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 is a 7-day event (from January 6th - January 13th) benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation.​
Featuring over 150 events, AGDQ 2019 will continue through every hour of every day over this coming week in an effort to raise the most money possible for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.​
Moreover, a number of bonus events are locked behind donation goals and different events have various prizes that donators can win as an added incentive.​
The Prevent Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1985 and is the only nonprofit in the United States focused solely on cancer prevention and early detection. The Foundation has invested nearly $142 million in support of cancer prevention nationwide through research, education, advocacy and outreach. While most groups were focused on cures and treatment, the Foundation's work sparked the conversation on the possibility of preventing cancer.​

Awesome Banner. Can't wait for this year's finale. Also for the inevitable influx of new conspiracy theories about GDQ being corporate shills Yadda Yadda. At this point that is as much tradition as "that literally never happened before"

Wonder what the pin will be like this time. (I never use pins for anything but I've inexplicably gotten into collecting them.). AGDQ 2018 has been my favorite --

Every year I forget to take time off work to watch.

I've got Tuesday through Friday off so I'll at least get a decent amount in.

Disappointed that with Twitch Prime going back to forcing ads, that I'll have to sit through a ton of them this GDQ... so much so I might even just wait it out and instead of watching live, watching the VODs on youtube.

The post-Christmas depressive hangover doesn't exist for me anymore thanks to GDQ

I think the GDQ they did at PAX was a test run for randomizers. But submissions for this AGDQ were in long before that.
Fairly sure they did a Zelda lttpr run at sgdq. Though I think that there is a huge amount of unpredictability in that runs could be unwinnable, which they may be concerned about

Wow the OT was fun to look at this time. Very looking forward to tomorrow's!

Edit: By the way it looks like the discord link is not working, says that it is invalid.

Why the fuck are they doing reverse boss order with a single runner for Super Metroid???? That's a disaster waiting to happen!!

Did they really not find enough runners to do a race?

Which randomizers have unwinnable states at this point? Every single one that's got events dedicated to it at this point have been well tested and constructed and are only unwinnable in extremely rare or broken cases.

Alttpr and sign have unwinnable states, but the most obvious one is the la mulana random, but I think most runners stream that for comedy mainly.

Great stuff! After a busy month can't wait to relax with some GDQ... That is if this ridiculous baby lowers is sodding temperature and gets well enough for Kindergarten :P

Celeste is a really crazy speedrun. Looking forward to it!

I'm also pumped for Majora's Mask any%, WWHD 100% and Mario Odyssey - darker side.

Been looking forward to this for months! My son started watching last year and he's really excited for any runs involving Kirby, Donkey Kong, or Mega Man.

I finally got a regular job so I can actually donate something this time around....

...but being at work also means I won't be able to watch much so there will be almost no chances for me to donate. The awful games start at the same time as my work day begins, fuck.

I can probably use a vacation week for SGDQ so I'll be putting in donation money then.

ALTTPR hasn't had unwinnable states in like 3 years, unless it's some crazy ruleset (like everything including entrances, heavy glitch mode, etc)

Man this time of the year already huh.

No Mario Maker again?

And no Super Metroid race again? This GDQ is just fake.
