It’s the first in-person event for years
Some intriguing speedruns are lined up on PC over the rest of this week. The wee hours of tomorrow morning see a versus Any% battle between the original and definitive edition of my favourite GTA,Vice City. I’d wholeheartedly recommend the Any% runs of classic FPSsStar Wars: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcastand Powerslave Exhumed on Wednesday, along with adventure game King’s Quest V on Thursday. There’s some newer games featured in this year’s event too, such as an Any%Tunicrun later on Wednesday and a 100% run of the always entertainingTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasionon Thursday.
Don’t worry if you can’t stay conscious until daft o’clock to watch a run live because they’re allarchivedon Games Done Quick’s YouTube channel. I’m not a big esports person but I’m always up for watching speedruns when Summer Games Done Quick or its winter equivalent are happening – sometimes literally always up, during some of the long RPG runs. Try staying awake for tomorrow’s estimated four-and-half-hour Any% ofYakuza: Like A Dragon, for example. Here’s thefull scheduleof this week’s speedruns for your perusal.
Summer Games Done Quick is happening from June 26th until July 3rd. You can follow along live, and make a donation if you like, at the official sitehere.
