Before we start, a few notes about my thought process in creating this list:

- There are SO many amazing games on the games list that if I wanted to include every single one of them in this list it would be far too long - so we’re gonna keep it pretty limited and [I suggest you comb over the list yourself](https://gamesdonequick.com/games) to know what runs to look out for!

- This is of course all personal opinion, completely biased by my own experiences - so keep that in mind!

- Runs will be listed in alphabetical order because I don’t think prioritizing any of them is particularly fair prior to the event - and you should form your own opinions regardless, this list is just recommending some runs for you to keep an eye out for :)

Also, each game and runner will be hyperlinked :) Alright, let's dig in!

## **[Chibi-Robo](https://www.speedrun.com/cr) | 1v1 Lockout Bingo by [Jaxler](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler) & [Kobazco](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Kobazco)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/GWQ4l41e8P-qA_dp2vchMGVTeSzqyHyRKPY-EdIY8D4HOdkKc67M356cvD6q804jZplqjAn7PAwAO-Ja42a5H77Sz2HkmnAqGtMVVoibBbkiaRyp7GG7KqSLwInGY0Zksv0rmpM9S4Xy7QoNLFt1pGc)

So I know next to nothing about Chibi-Robo - but I do know Jaxler & Kobazco make a hell of a commentary duo. I also know that Jaxler was absolutely HYPING up this category to me at AGDQ earlier this year, and let me tell you that man is convincing. I guarantee this will be a good show, so make sure you tune in!

## **[Elden Ring](https://www.speedrun.com/eldenring) | Any% Glitchless by [blanxz](https://www.speedrun.com/users/blanxz)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/AFssv36C7dJrVKQo30pKtAzQl4MtBoLTlTMUpyQfHcBytu7Eo3F6n8wqfmhPCXgo0N0cUAHbAFL-AFNGnJDPXR-6KhRrZm-b_syXSEI8fYOASB_Fet8H5iBiicqjH2FL6JOGP0OeMu_w9mzazL_nx6k)

If you’re familiar with Elden Ring or Souls games in general you’ll know just how difficult they can be. Well, blanxz is a master - with world records in *6 different Souls* games (depending on your definition, but that's a whole can of worms lol.) Considering Glitchless does what looks to be most (maybe all?) of the mainline bosses in Elden Ring and yet the time estimate is under *90 minutes* - yeah I’m sure this will be a good time (no pun intended)

## **[Half-Life 2](https://www.speedrun.com/hl2) | New Engine Any% (No Voidclip) Race between [Eold](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Eold) & [Dirtch](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Dirtch)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/-AyOM4h_cySw6Dxj17N8DaPUoZxVMFtrW3e2H1fCRBb3QFdPNeN7R_B98EfzDPFp3AH9Nb60mdi--147GZe8ujXVXyKYCobhMhUUdSnQm8dBp4GraSmyd4eFELkBl2qH8cLAdrrchCg003s6m9sFDpM)

The last time Half-Life 2 (HL2) was shown at GDQ was just 2 years ago, and yet the World Record has dropped **MULTIPLE** minutes since then, and the community sum of best even further than that. HL2 has seriously gone through some major routing revelations in these last years and definitely deserves its spot on the games list. With 2 runners on stage/screen at the same time, that's just double the goodness being fed directly into my eyeballs and I’m here for it.

## **[Halo 3](https://haloruns.com/leaderboards/h3/coop/fullgame/Easy) | 4P Co-Op Legendary w/ [adef](https://www.speedrun.com/users/adefgames), [bryonato](https://www.speedrun.com/users/bryonato), [Chronos_R](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Chronos), & [NervyDestroyer](https://www.speedrun.com/users/NervyDestroyer)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/EMIfuJPg61HfuaCWZGGnQfTmwPeAALMG98aPiO6lENANFJ0WNeJJESBAMUxtk7RbJrTR7BNdc2TxNx7zrY2sW3N0g9jMTPNhx1T69Vh03tKalelAIUXxPi2rdfOrWtaEdA0LjjpB15grAGOatijvMXg)

Helllll yeah gamers. We’ve got four GDQ all-stars in this submission running an amazing game on the hardest difficulty - is there anything else I need to add here? Yes, there is - watch the run.

## **[Mirror’s Edge](https://www.speedrun.com/me) | Any% by [BlackbeltGingaNinja](https://www.speedrun.com/users/BlackbeltGingaNinja)**![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/OHX05Xa5ic6vvf4hWsQmgXBK0mwcBI9nPLV3KMJ0l7ciA9ViiXxGCiTluIj_bOiyx0ZrBkmV7waEEPdPWjaVluLe-jRloAjWwy0FGTy9hN57BekElRRPrWvHt-7PweVO2K3yjjHrDU5bZfM4Eki8EJI)

Mirror’s Edge is an ABSOLUTE classic. Top-notch high-skill movement that’s incredibly satisfying to watch, and some tricks/skips that will totally blow your mind. Even if you’ve seen this run before, it’s satisfying enough you should absolutely be tuning in again.

## **[NecroVisioN Lost Company](https://www.speedrun.com/nvnlc) | Any% by [Gulch2](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Gulch2)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/T4UtustiQqxdudHS-xDbZZOa_UgxL-trnFzpz0-N6A9fQZCACfwlCaoCvC75a_zUMhCOeq-fo-s9uoM0LZyeh9bCC4oXiTY_8K8xjhgsRJxAxV32jIQDchq8amqDlyYmMIGMAMEPWxxorr4nTWo82MM)

Okay so I’m 99% sure every single one of you reading this article has never even heard of this game - that’s okay! Let me break it down for you. You run into sloped objects, you go **NYOOM** up into the air. Gulch recently came in and absolutely tore BOTH of the NecroVisioN games apart, and I’m super excited to be seeing this hit the big stage.

## **[Outlast 2](https://www.speedrun.com/outlast2) | Any% No Checkpoint Killing (Cutscene Skip Mod) by [Sharkhat](https://www.speedrun.com/users/sharkhat)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/9CZwbL2B38zxxctt807oQwo-NSouqypzF9HCuNVHge9Xz-TSiQrzEF881dzmr4lPfd72qDIlvRiTdIbNSMdM4EPYcIC3TiNLm-SlsV6ph_FEJn6k9l7zrpw_oUI-gyEljgfvzbR6MKUyGc5zcpyFbbE)

This may be a controversial take, I don’t know - but this category is a true diamond in the rough for speedrunners who love glitches. The vanilla version of Outlast 2 will kill the player if any of the game's checkpoints are skipped, but for this category that’s no longer a concern - allowing for ALL KINDS of wacky glitches/skips to be used in the route. Not to mention this run will also be using the Cutscene Skip mod which removes the icky downtime in the run. I’m all for prioritizing entertainment over “purity” in speedrunning, and while using 2 mods might be non-traditional - it makes for a hell of a speedrun!

## **[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time](https://www.speedrun.com/oot) | Defeat Ganon (No SRM) by [dannyb](https://www.speedrun.com/users/dannyb)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/8Jc3ojG9dWL13jYEj6U0ZZF1XETdC_yRx8qlkQ_jbolhPkTTazuKmFmvlC60zuQAEAIvlrBxO87Kyzy1b9NdTpTWTli50rexj58kH8fAbTAEGcExLg1C9EHDYVo22q0Nl1XluXFafktth_qoTqw7ThI)

You may have seen Ocarina of Time (OOT) speedrunning before, but unless you’ve been following along for the last few months - you haven’t seen it like this. I’m not even sure I want to spoil the route changes this game has seen in this article - but trust me you have to watch this run. If you want to catch up prior to the run, I also recommend checking out [this video from DannyB himself breaking down the new discoveries!](https://youtu.be/0B095eHBrCg?si=-1nKApqu-dkjkzeK) 

## **[Powerwash Simulator](https://www.speedrun.com/powerwash_simulator) | 6P Spongebob DLC by [Acadiel](https://www.speedrun.com/users/AcadielDragon), [amyrlinn](https://www.speedrun.com/users/amyrlinn), [AngelicKnight](https://www.speedrun.com/users/AngelicKnight), [Biglaw](https://www.speedrun.com/users/biglaw), [enbee](https://www.speedrun.com/users/enbee) & [EnigmaRequiem](https://www.speedrun.com/users/EnigmaRequiem)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/uwDUSkywYExguyJWQJ7x3SJATJJ4I2CkQ9hS38Znu7S_U1607uyRLHDpXFDrvYdCV5nCL_c0f6ozApgM4VPvn-nSUoNDJBB1xaat60Qo42AfLrVp4wZK0KMHokv17x2sNDtKX0wBPHwB_ZZjeJ8Os7Y)

The most efficient cleaning crew I’ve ever witnessed is **BACK** at GDQ once again, tackling the Spongebob DLC! Prepare for some electric commentary, and some very squeaky clean sponges (I assume?)

## **[Tomb Raider (2013)](https://www.speedrun.com/tr2013) | Any% by [spicee](https://www.speedrun.com/users/spicee)**

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/m1M4sJYxrpYZL1zbmZiNY7XoPVOaJ_-Se6tPyFEqMXr35kEeoz1yShySnu2OGzCsawhkrGbvbR3GJ4Q40ddYxZd8UoVfUIZPVpirJPViZwhDvO2dllzrz87OS6k9vM0XbpsoNPA-RcKpvMEp_Flb-aQ)

Spicee went on an absolute **TEAR** earlier this year, snatching first place in all 3 modern Tomb Raider games within 10 days and I’m so happy he’s able to show off one of them on the GDQ stage! TR2013 is yet another one for you glitch-hungry watchers, filled to the brim with lots of clipping through walls and walking on air - you know typical Lara Croft stuff right?

## Conclusion

That’s it for now - once again I definitely recommend you go check out the games list for yourself, there’s lots of amazing stuff on there!

The games list for SGDQ 2024 is now live! Let’s dive in. https://gamesdonequick.com/games

SGDQ 2024 Games List is now out!

Pixel Perfect Events are kicking off our 2024 calendar with Pixel Perfect Marathon 4 (PPM4) on the weekend of 22nd-23rd June! Submissions are open to all runs and showcases. We want to spotlight races and co-op runs for PPM4, so submitting one will yield a higher chance of acceptance.

Pixel Perfect Events is a speedrunning and game showcase community. We're dedicated to hosting quality events that bring video game entertainers and lovers from all backgrounds together to celebrate the video games we love, and the feats we love to show off!

Our team shares many years of organizing experience across various marathon communities. As such we've developed our own in house tools to provide runners with a slick and simple setup with sub-second latency streams, tools for volunteers of every experience, and viewers with a high quality stream they'll love watching.

PPM4 marks our final marathon that's just for fun. Whilst we've loved having the opportunity to give our runners and volunteers a marathon free from not having to focus on donations and targets, we're now preparing to have the organisation officially recognised to raise money for charity in future events. 

### Submitting on Oengus

[Submissions can be made on our Oengus page.](https://oengus.io/marathon/PPM4)

500 characters to describe your game and 300 characters for each category doesn’t leave much space to discuss why your run is cool, what motivated you to submit it, or the community around it. So we’re asking some extra questions for you to recommend your favorite and shout out your community. Write your heart out or keep it simple - we look forward to your answers!

Further submission and streaming requirements are advised on the Oengus page. Submissions close on Saturday 18th May at 17:59 EDT/23:59 CEST

### Volunteers

The exact timing of the marathon will depend on the submissions and volunteers. We can start on Friday, or even run for 24 hours if we have your help! 

For tech, this will be our first event using our final NodeCG experience that can fully control OBS (to the extent we need) from a remote browser. That means our tech volunteers will have access to scenes, audio, and live views of the OBS Preview and Program, **all from one browser page!** We can’t wait to see how our PPM4 tech crew get on with the system - we’re pretty confident it’ll be one of the easiest models out there! Hosts get access to this as well so they have some control over the stream, mainly the changing between intermission and runs, and controlling the on-screen timer. We feel it's important that hosts actually take some control, it's your moment to shine, so take charge of it!

If you're considering volunteering and have questions or want to demo our setup before signing up, give us a shout! Our volunteer guides are also available to read on [our website](https://www.pixelperfect.events/). Submissions for hosting, tech checks, stream tech, and social media can be made through our [Volunteer Application Form](https://forms.gle/yeThbbLNvvA1eCK38).

# The Misfit Mascot Relay - 2nd edition

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

## What is the event about

Founded by @InfinityGene and @Thextera in October 2023, the Misfit Mascot Relay (MMR) is a multi-community speedrun event, focused on reigniting the love with some lesser known mascots/games of the time, and our goal is to bring more awareness to those games! (Such as Croc, Billy Hatcher, Klonoa, etc)

The vision for the MMR is to raise awareness with many of these forgotten franchises, that some people may not have heard about before. Bringing more attention and activity towards those gaming communities, and possibly introducing new runners into these games as well. But also, to just have fun in the process, connecting with the many other communities out there!

Click [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NodLpx5NrEQ&list=PL-h5uiUzE0TZrDfN6WvAE4YH5eRpRslo8&index=1&pp=iAQB) to view the MMR trailer of this edition.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

## How does the event work

The relay race is comprised of 4 teams with multiple runners. Each team will have a representative runner for each of the games in the MMR event.

During the event, runners will complete their game as fast as possible, and then hand over immediately to the next team member for them to do their own run.

Once all runners of a particular team have completed their runs, they become the winner of the edition!
