The Games Done Quick series of charity events has long been a favorite among the gaming fans and critics at Ars Technica since it combines classic, beloved video games and carefully studied methods to break them apart in search of high-speed exploits.
This year's summertime installment is particularly special, as it's the first in 2.5 years to take place at a physical venue—albeit with some of the most stringent masking and distancing requirements we've seen in a livestreamed public show in 2022. (GDQ's organizers appear to read the news , which makes sense for a series that benefits the likes of Doctors Without Borders .) Even with precautions taken, its combination of players, commentators, and crowds in the same room has brought excitement back to its broadcasts, which is why we're pulling together some of the best runs from the past week, as archived at GDQ's official YouTube channel .
The event is still ongoing as of this article's publication, which means you can watch it right now via its Twitch channel . The event's final runs, dedicated to Elden Ring , will conclude in the late hours on Saturday, July 2.
