Speed Demos Archive Promo Video for "Awesome Games Done Quick 2012"

Hey folks, just wanted to tell you about this really cool event to help raise money for charity. Every event I've watched that SDA has hosted, I've had a bunch of fun watching. I wouldn't have uploaded this video if I had not felt that it was worth telling others about this event.

From January 4th through 9th, 2012, SDA will hold a video game charity marathon called Awesome Games Done Quick 2012. All donations will go to Prevent Cancer Foundation (http://preventcancer.org ), an organization dedicated to funding promising treatment research. The entire event will be streamed live via justin.tv on SDA's front page (http://speeddemosarchive.com ).

Approximately 80 members of SDA's speedrunning community will gather together in one location to play through over 100 different games non-stop as fast as they can. These games range from NES classics such as Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man 2, to recent titles such as Portal 2 and Halo: Reach. For a list of all 100 games and estimated start times, check out http://speeddemosarchive.com/marathon/schedule

During the event, SDA will also raffle off prizes for our viewers who generously donate during our marathon. A Legend of Zelda Master Sword, a Super Meat Boy tenderizer, games (including a boxed copy of Earthbound!), a Sonic comic collection, perlers (bead art), and plushies are only a portion of what they will be giving away!

SDA invites you to come to their front page at http://speeddemosarchive.com from January 4-9th to take part in the round-the-clock fun.
