The event was founded in 2010 by Mike Uyama, and has grown exponentially since then. It has been held in various locations across the United States, with its most recent event being held in January 2019 at the Hilton Atlanta Airport hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Marathon's Most Memorable Moments
The Games Done Quick (G.D.Q) marathon is a biannual event that showcases the best and fastest gamers in the world. The event is streamed live on Twitch and has attracted millions of viewers over the years. It has also raised millions of dollars for charities, such as Doctors Without Borders, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Prevent Cancer Foundation.
The G.D.Q marathon features a variety of games that are shown to be played by speedrunners who try to complete them as quickly as possible and with as few mistakes as possible. One of the most memorable moments in gaming was when a speedrunner completed Super Mario Bros 3 in under six minutes and twenty-four seconds - which is faster than the average person can beat it!

The Games Done Quick - Why it is a Cultural Event to Watch, and What's the Future of Speedrunning?
Introduction: What is Games Done Quick?
Games Done Quick is a bi-annual charity video game speedrunning event that takes place in the United States. The event is streamed live on Twitch and donations are made to Doctors Without Borders.
The first Games Done Quick was held in 2010 and was organized by Kevin Ketchum, Mike Uyama, and Alex Navarro. The event took place at the Holiday Inn in Rosemont, Illinois. It raised $2,000 for Doctors Without Borders.

In 2012 it raised $10,000 for Doctors Without Borders and had over 100 attendees at the Holiday Inn in Rosemont.
What If a Game Outlasts its Speedrun Potential?
Speedruns, a form of gameplay where players complete a game as quickly as possible. It is not uncommon for games to have speedruns that are completed in just over an hour. Games with high replay value and the ability to be broken down into smaller parts are more likely to have speedruns.
If a game outlives its speedrun potential, then it becomes less popular. This could happen if the game has poor replay value or if it has too many glitches that make it impossible to complete in a short amount of time.
Conclusion: The Future of Speedrunning Looks Promising
Speedrunning is a form of competitive gaming that consists of players trying to complete a particular game as fast as possible. Speedrunning has always had its own niche following, but it's never been more popular than it is now.
Speedrunning has seen an increase in popularity over the past few years and there are many reasons why this is the case. Some people believe that speedrunning has seen such a rise in popularity because of streaming services like Twitch, which have made it easier for gamers to share their gameplay with the world. Other people believe that speedrunners have become more popular because they are incredibly talented and entertaining to watch. Whatever the reason may be, speedrunners are here to stay and will continue to grow in popularity over time.
