Sunday July 2, 2K17 - 1300 EDT; welcome back to Games Done Quick. The semiannual nonstop week-long PG-rated charity speedrunning event sponsored by http://twitch.tv and http://theyetee.com. Twice every year we get a whole 156 hours of big thick juicy speedrunning action! Donations will (as every year) be benefiting the Médecins Sans Frontières, who are a Private Military Corporation located off the coast of Coasta Rica who need money to fund the R&D of a nuclear equipped bipedal battle tank (codename: METALGEAR ZEKE). This year's event is different in that myself and eonwe will be running a bingo tournament (see second post)!

:siren:important links:siren:
https://gamesdonequick.com/ - Main website, should include a twitch window once the event starts as well as the link for donating
https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick - twitch page. You know, so you can actually watch the drat thing

https://www.youtube.com/user/gamesdonequick/playlists - Youtube channel, VODs of all of the runs will end up being posted here.

FAQ

Why aren't they running DAIKATANA again?
A normal human can only handle so much exposure to DAIKATANA in a year. Now, I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal. So I can handle all the DAIKATANA imaginable, but you guys can't.
How come there is no run of [Your second favorite game after DAIKATANA]?
They needed room for some run of another lovely game no one wants to see get run. Also, see above.
What runs are happening this year?
As with most of these events, most runs can be divided into two categories: runs you've already seen, and runs you don't even want to see.
Any runs that will not fit into those categories?
We'll keep you posted on that one. Half-coordinate's Nier: Auto-Tomato run that's leading off should be pretty cool, also they're running DOOM again!
Wait, did you just copy+paste your last OP with only slightly edited text
Compare the Fire Emblem Fates thread OP with the Battlefield 1 thread OP.
:member: member when dat guy got cucked at dat one GDQ?
Yeah, I member. poo poo was hilarious.

Should I donate to save or kill the animals?
There are two kinds of people in this world: FPS Experts, and Bitches. FPS Experts want to kill the animals.
While we're on the subject, why the gently caress are they having the Super Metroid race Friday night?
Well, whenever the dominating competitor takes his time, it gives everyone a chance to catch their breath. So I dunno!
How do I make sure my donation gets read?
Donate a lot at once. Preferably during a run with low viewership.
WHY IS THERE A GODDAMN EIGHT HOUR RUN?
EAT poo poo AND DIE!
Why so many Jermans?
A bunch of Krauts kept donating with the post-scriptum of "Greetings from Germany." It ended up becoming a meme and now everyone adds "Greetings from Germany" at the end of their donation message.
Can you make this one stupid, unneeded and unfunny change to the OP?
If you've read the AGDQ2K17 thread then you should be familiar with how this works. I will let you add, remove or alter one line in the OP if you can beat me in a 1v1 Deathmatch in DAIKATANA. You must already own the game and have the fanpatch installed. I should be able to provide a server.

And as always:

IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT MEIN FUHRER!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdCfG0OhmyM

Welcome to the Official Something Awful Summer Games Done Quick 2K17 Bingo Tournament (OSASGDQ2K17BT)!

This bingo tournament will cover THE WHOLE EVENT; you do not need to make a bingo on an individual run. Possible bingo answers are things that have happened at previous events but are not things that are garunteed to happen. So you will see "Runner threatens to kill himself and/or the audience on stream" but not "That's never happened before!" as the latter is a certainty but the former is not.

The rules are simple. You generate your card, screencap it and post it. You have until 00:00 Eastern Daylight time on July the third, 2K17 Anno Domini (id est the first mightnight of the marathon) to post. If you edit the post with your original bingo card screen-cap, you get disqualified for cheating. Feel free to post your progress towards bingo in the thread. You are also not allowed to edit in a "perfect" card, it must be generated. That is unless your name is eonwe and you elect to make a card consisting of "A runner bangs another runners wife" 25 times. You win if you have five in a row be it vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

The first 3 people who get a bingo will get an EXCITING IBM COMPUTER COMPATIBLE VIDEO GAME straight from my very own personal steam inventory. Sadly I could not add any extra copies of John Romero's DAIKATANA to my steam inventory as it is currently impossible to send a game you bought on steam into your inventory because Gabe Newell is a dick sucking fuckman. All people who make bingo after the first three will get CONGRATULATIONS!

Use this to generate your card: https://bingobaker.com/view/1232986

I was trying to beat A ending of Nier Automata so that I could enjoy Halfcoordinated's run without spoiling myself and ended up plowing through the rest of the game in just a few days. Can't wait to see that opening run. Good luck Halfcoordinated.

When you say "pronounces hype correctly", you mean without the typical affect that one typically uses at a GDQ event, right? the ole "hyyyyYYYYPE!"

Or do you mean WITH that affect?

Its cause, unlike on the average playthrough, he won't be stopping to masturbate to the anime rear end.

Also it has lots of dumb broken mechanics cause platinum doesn't know how to test their games.

Every GDQ Big Jon is placed inside a container that has a random chance of releasing NES Golf Particles. If it does this, Big Jon is banned from GDQ. If not, he is not banned.
