Was there any drama this year? Can’t wait to read about it if so!
Otherwise, great event! There were so many great games and moments this year. I hope to attend in person one day.
Hype!
Notable runs for me:
- Dick Tracy
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Fallout: New Vegas (All “Romances”)
- Kevin Costner’s Waterworld (from The Simpsons)
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Tightened Vice and Loosened Vice)
- Tetris: The Grand Master
- Crazy Taxi with Live Backing Band
I also enjoyed the various Kaizo runs but they kind of blurred together.
Its crazy to think GDQ started in some dudes basement with like 7 people. GG everyone involved!
I watched some of that original CGDQ stream live, and it’s amazing how far they’ve come.
This is great, but is the charity real and the donation actually made? Lots of game industry related people “donating” to fake charities or not donating at all lately. Hopefully this one is real.
The charity is real, and it took me about 2 minutes to search for their 22-23 audited financial records here https://preventcancer.org/about-us/financials/financial-statements-and-990-forms/
If you go to page 16 you can see the event notes for AGDQ for those two years.
I spent an additional couple of minutes using the propublica lookup. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521429544
Thank you
Yes. GDQ has been running for 15 years now, it’s reputable.
Thank you
If memory serves, the charity hires GDQ for a flat fee. They’ve already been paid for the event and so donations that come in go straight to the charity. PCF for the winter event, MSF for the summer one.
Thank you
The last few games were awesome. The Super Metroid race was hard to follow, but the runners were a lot of fun together and the finale was incredible.
I like a lot of what GDQ has become.
The Crazy Taxi run was off the chain. The atmosphere was electric!
I’m so glad I got to watch it live (on Twitch). It was awesome!
