Next January 5th the new edition of the Awesome Games Done Quick video game marathonalso known as AGDQ, in which speedrunners from all over the world will parade uninterruptedly for seven consecutive days to complete dozens of titles in the shortest time possible.
These types of events always leave us with amazing moments that are worth seeing again and again because of the feats that are performed, but also because some speedruns are completed in unusual categories to make them even more spectacular.

And of course, in order not to lose the old customs, on January 9th there will be the “Awful Games” blockfrom 05:24 in the morning until 12:11 at noon. These are horrible games, somewhat tacky and that have been criticized for their quality, but they will also be given their minutes of glory to at least give us a few laughs.
