It’s summer season, which implies it’s time for solar and speedruns. The 2024 version of Summer season Video games Completed Fast (SGDQ), the annual speedrunning marathon for charity, kicks off on Sunday and runs till July sixth. This 12 months’s lineup is as soon as once more filled with runs for a few of my favourite video games, together with Balatro, Alan Wake 2, Elden Ring, Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1, 2, 3, and 4 (multi functional run), a glitchless Baldur’s Gate 3 Honour Mode run, and a shipless Outer Wilds run (how???).
However my most anticipated run is a stay speedrun from Peanut Butter, the shiba inu who carried out a distant run of the NES recreation Gyromite at Superior Video games Completed Fast in January. At SGDQ, Peanut Butter will likely be stay on the occasion taking part in Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Main League Baseball for the Tremendous NES. Peanut Butter’s purpose is to win a recreation in half-hour. The run is scheduled for July 4th at 8:43PM ET.
SGDQ’s first run, Yoshi’s Story, occurs as we speak at 1PM ET. You possibly can stream your entire occasion from the Video games Completed Fast Twitch channel, and Video games Completed Fast sometimes posts runs after they occur on its YouTube channel. The occasion, which will likely be streamed from Minneapolis, is elevating cash for Docs With out Borders.
