Summer Games Done Quick 2018 is a 7-day event (from June 24th - July 1st) benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Featuring over 150 events, SGDQ 2018 runs continuously throughout every hour of every day over this coming week, in an effort to raise the most money possible for Doctors Without Borders.
More, a number of bonus events are locked behind donation milestones and different events have various prizes that donators can win as an added incentive.



Every year, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides emergency medical care to millions of people caught in crises in more than 60 countries around the world. MSF provides assistance when catastrophic events—such as armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, or natural disasters—overwhelm local health systems. MSF also assists people who face discrimination or neglect from their local health systems or when populations are otherwise excluded from health care.

MSF is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organization that aims first and foremost to provide high-quality medical care to the people who need it the most. It does not promote the agenda of any country, political party, or religious faith, and, as such, endeavors to communicate its history, background, and capabilities to all parties in a given situation so that it may gain the necessary access to populations in need.

The Doctors Without Borders charter can be viewed HERE.

They maintain a 4 star Charity Navigator rating that may be viewed HERE.

One of the best schedules in a long time. Lots of awesome games, new games, interesting games and more.

But I have SO MUCH work this week that the runs I will be able to watch will probably be because of the invincible frames from the damage skip =|
May the VODs be my guide

This one is already packed. Monday has that glorious Enter the Gungeon, Dustforce, Axiom Verge block right next to a classic Megaman block with 3 very underplayed megamans

And we have a big chance of TWO celeste (indie GOTY 2018) runs this time!

It feels like it was only yesterday that AGDQ was happening, I had a great time watching that this year. Can't wait to watch as much of SGDQ as I can this year.

Great game lineup this year too, should be a fun one!

Tons of Mega Man, not too many races (and some of them are cool races, like the Mario ones), a few weird surprises like the Yellow/Red combo run and the OoT bingo run, a few RPGs -- this is looking like it'll be a darn good event, if I dare say so! Goof Troop, Getting Over It, and Cuphead are sure to be great runs, too. There's a lot of great stuff on the schedule this year.

TMR vs Cuphead will be very interesting to watch. I'm probably not going to watch as much SGDQ this year but the Ninja Gaiden Black, the races (Shantae and The Pirate's Curse, SMB 3, Mario Maker 2 teams blindfold run), and quite a few others intrigue me. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 should be another good one along with Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. There's longer game runs this time around from the looks of it.

It'll be hard to catch in some american time zones, but all around great human being Dan Olson is doing an Amy Any% Run on the 26th at 3am PDT. You might know Dan from his youtube channel Folding Ideas, one of the small handful of movie youtubers worth watching alongside Lessons From the Screenplay and Lindsay Ellis.

It that time of the year again! Man felt like AGDQ was only a short while ago, how the time flies.

Love how they keep shaking things up for the finale.

If I would've known before reading this post I would've attended, it's only 15 minutes from me. I'll definitely catch it on twitch though!

Aside from how much I love watching these, another reason I look forward to the "XGDQs" is that some of my favorite shirts come out then...and usually by Nina Matsumoto. The Nier Automata shirt I bought last time is one that I still routinely wear and get a ton of compliments on.

I'm a bit confused...

Summer Games Done Quick 2018 is a 7-day event (from June 24th - July 1st) benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Featuring over 150 events, SGDQ 2018 runs continuously throughout every hour of every day over this coming week, in an effort to raise the most money possible for Doctors Without Borders.

I guess it's Doctors Without Borders that is correct though as the AGDQ usually is for the cancer foundation?

Unfortunately the NGB normal mode speedrun is not super crazy because the game is fairly exploit and sequence break resistant, though there are some neat little sequence breaks. The boss strats are cool too. It's all stuff that's fun to incorporate in a normal playthrough.

but it's mostly skipping past fights and a reallllly long resource management run in order to have enough max hp and potions so he can skip the oxygen mask in the water level.

Glad he got the game in though, the more eyes on it, the better! Hopefully it goes well and one of the two top players right now can get in a Master Ninja Mode speedrun in, if they wanted. Now that shit is bonkers.

Why am I being advertised some youtube channel in the SGDQ Thread? :/

Super hyped for this event as always. My only frustration is that this thread was made and it's not currently on! lol

Edit: It is on now!!! Best day ever!
