SGDQ 2015 is upon us. For those of you not familiar with SGDQ, SGDQ, or Summer Games Done Quick, is a week long speedrunning marathon done for charity. The marathon will be running from July 26 to August 1. The charity for SGDQ is Doctors Without Borders.
For those of you who are not gamers or out of the loop, speedrunning is basically completing the game as fast as possible by any means necessary. Glitches and exploits are fair game and is often what makes the speedrun fun to watch. As anyone who watches speedruns know, breaking the game is half the fun.
I'm running out of things to say, so I'll just dump a bunch of links:
