Speedrunning Event Raises $1.2 Million for Charity
The week-long Summer Games Done Quick speedrunning event has come to a close with more than $1 million raised for charity. The final speedrun was Chrono Trigger.
In all, Summer Games Done Quick raised $1,230,852 for Doctors Without Borders. This number may fluctuate over the next few days, but whatever the case, organizers called it "awe-inspiring."
If you missed the event, archived speedruns are available through the Games Done Quick YouTube Channel. Definitely check out the channel if you're at all interested; there are some amazing runs, including one for Super Mario 64.
Speedrunning is the process of playing through a game as quickly as possible. They are particularly fun and sometimes bewildering to watch because they require expert skill, lots of planning, and often the use of tricks.
