AGDQ starts today, January 5th, at 12PM ET, and is scheduled to end very early in the morning on January 12th. You can watch the event live on Games Done Quicks Twitch channel, and runs are typically uploaded to Games Done Quicks YouTube channel soon after they air.Ive been perusing the schedule, and heres a few runs that Im excited about:Astro Bot, because Astro Bot rulesA Metroid Prime race (perfect to get in the mood for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond)The very bad Superman 64A six-hour and fifteen-minute run of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth when I beat it last year, the game took me about ten times that long to finishCrazy Taxi with a live band, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd that only scratches the surface!
