Always a fun event. My favorite games to watch are Mario 64 and Super Metroid. They are both games I've played many times and seeing all the tricks the speedrunners can do to blast through the games never ceases to amaze me.

The Super Metroid race is always epic. Other games I'm looking forward to are Jak II, Ratchet & Clank (PS2), the Super Meat Boy race, DOOM (2016), Crash, Guacamelee, Banjo Kazooie, and Portal.

Here are some great vids the detail the speedrunning world record progression of some popular games, and the general speedrunning history of that game. I'll add these to the op as well. They are great to get a proper GDQ mood going

Metroid Prime:

Super Mario 64:

Super Mario Bros.

Portal

My favourite run was when they did Pepsiman. So fun to watch.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Nice Automata run, I have followed HalfC for a few years now since he did Vanquish in 2015.

SGDQ2016 - 1.294 million

AGDQ2017 - 2.222 million

Except for 2016, SGDQ hasn't been able to surpass the previous AGDQ, but we can always hope it happens this year

Weird, AGDQ 2016 seems to be an anomaly in an otherwise clear trend of growth for Games Done Quick - any idea why that year didn't see a growth in donations?

I noticed that myself, and I couldn't really come up with any good explanation as to why that was.
