Games Done Quick is one of the best known and most-loved speedrunning organisations. With two major events a year that raise plenty of money for charity, it gives us an excuse to watch extremely skilful gamers play a mix of old and relatively new games.

It's taking place in St. Paul, Minneapolis this year, and kicks off on on Sunday 26th July at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK / 7pm CET, with the full live stream being available on Twitch. The schedule has the usual treats such as Super Metroid and Super Mario 64, though relatively recent titles such as The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and 3DS remake The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D also feature; there are lots of great games being played.

The event will run for a full week until 2nd August, with proceeds going to the Doctors Without Borders charity.
