Speedruns themselves will be mind-boggling, but it surely’s the neighborhood behind them that pursuits me probably the most. There’s an infectious pleasure that comes throughout in each video that’s come out of Awesome Games Done Quick, the annual week-long charity speedrunning occasion that wrapped up over the weekend. It’s an occasion that gives the triple-whammy of coronary heart warming camaraderie, entertaining speedruns and a whopping $2,269,209.96 to this point for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. That’s greater than $50,000 over final 12 months’s whole and donations are nonetheless rolling in – you may chip in here in the event you’re so inclined.

It will be arduous to comply with what’s occurring in a single speedrun, and this Resident Evil 3 race between Bawkbasoup and Wusscake duties you with watching two directly. The commentator does an excellent job of breaking down what’s occurring on each screens although, and the race dynamic provides a pressure that I didn’t realise was lacking from regular speedruns.
I figured the blink means in Dishonoured would make for good speedrun fodder, and this run from DrTChops doesn’t disappoint.
Kotti’s Arabian Nights run is one other spotlight. Watch out for the dancing commentators 11 minutes in.
There’s additionally zallard1’s double run of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!!, which he by some means manages to play concurrently. Neither of these are PC Games, but it surely’s a formidable sufficient feat for me to not care.
