In case you’ve never heard of it before, Awesome Games Done Quick is an annual stream brought to online viewers everywhere thanks to Speed Demos Archive (SDA). The SDA site is home to some of the best speedrunners out there and is quite the community!

Their marathon stream, which started today, brings a great deal of well-known speedrunners together and lets them showcase their abilities live on Twitch. The Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 marathon began at 9 AM today, and will continue all the way until January 11th. Yup, it’s practically a whole week of continuous speedrunning!

I encourage any game fan to watch, not just the speedrun-obsessed. It’s tremendously fun to see people play your favorite games and “break” them or make them seem far easier than they are. If you have ability, it would also be worth supporting the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which SDA have selected as their donation charity.

Here’s the stream schedule if you’d like to tune in for a specific game or challenge.
