Watch some speedruns, donate some money

If this morning’s Humble Bundle didn’t already tip you off, this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick event is now running. Every year it gathers some of the best speed runners to show their stuff, streaming the event and collecting money toward charity. With a goal of $500,000, the event is already more than 25% there after about a day.

There are some cool events set up on the schedule. Later today there is an entire F-Zero block, going through four games in the series. Early Thursday morning somebody will play through the old Burger King promotional game Sneak King. Friday is when the heavy traffic will hit; Pokémon, Metroid, Super Mario RPG, and The Legend of Zelda will be played in the evening. Seems like a good lead-in to the weekend.
