Summer Games Done Quick 2024: Watch Day 4 here

At almost the halfway point, Games Done Quick has raised more than $425,000 for Doctors Without Borders.

We're almost at the halfway point of this year's Summer Games Done Quick. This year's SGDQ airs during the American holiday week of July 4th and brings together the world's best speedrunners to run through some of the most memorable games of the past and present. As always, they'll do it for charity in front of a worldwide audience on Twitch.

Summer Games Done Quick 2024 is coming to you from the Hilton Minneapolis Downtown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most of this year's runners are on site for live runs, though a few will be checking in virtually for some remote runs. This year's event is raising money for Doctors Without Borders. After three days, the runners have raised over $425,000. Shacknews will be watching all week and we'll make sure to bring you the daily schedule each day. Plus, we're making sure to highlight the biggest runs worth watching.

Before we get to the schedule, let's look at a highlight from Day 3. Did you ever think you'd hear a crowd pop like this for divorce?

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? We're asking because that person's home needs some cleaning in the worst way. The six-person GDQ squad is here to make sure everything is sparkling. The target time is 35 minutes or your money back.

Blizzard games, for whatever reason, have a special atmosphere about them when it comes GDQ time. They're almost a rare treat and feel like an event in themselves. That's the case with this rare GDQ run of StarCraft: Brood War. Come check out this near-40 minute run of the Terran campaign and see how quickly the war can be escalated.

11:25PM - The Silly Games Done Quick Block

Just like every year, it's time for the lighter side of Games Done Quick. The Silly Games Done Quick Block is a special block of games featuring a mixture of bad games, ridiculous categories, and unappreciated gems. The one to definitely watch for is the recently released Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. For people of a certain generation, if you don't know about this game, know that it's the latest from Seedy Eye Software, a studio that features some of the original talent behind the Legend of Zelda CD-i games.

You heard me.


Summer Games Done Quick 2024 will take place from now through Saturday, July 6. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to come back all week to Shacknews for more on this week's marathon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
