Another week of amazing speed running mayhem drew to a close yesterday as Summer Games Done Quick 2018 packed up its wild week of death glitches, frame clips, cutscene skips and out-of-bounds shortcuts, all in an an effort to raise top dollar for charity.
It was an amazing success, with the total raised standing at $2,122,229 when the stream finally went off-air. This is a personal best for the SGDQ event, beating last year's total by some $400,000. Donations - and players - came in from across the globe, once again utilising the hobby we love so dearly to do some good for those less fortunate.
The money raised will go to non-profit organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres, an International network of professionals who provide medical aid, care and relief to those who need it - wherever its needed - regardless of race, colour, creed or political persuasion. It is tireless - often dangerous - work, but the good men and women of MSF continue to save countless lives thanks to the talent of their amazing staff and the generous donations of their benefactors.
