With 2016 far behind us now, we are looking forward to a great and productive 2017. And what better way to start a new year than with Awesome Games Done Quick, the ultimate gaming event.

The gamers’ performance will be broadcasted live on Twitch 24 hours per day. In addition, all money gathered from the competition will be donated to the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

If you did not participate in this kind of competition before, then you should probably do yourself a favor and enlist. Even if you’re not a hardcore gamer, you will at least have the chance to do some good.

Furthermore, if you’re that type who likes to sit on the couch while one of your friends plays a video game, you can always tune into the competition’s Twitch channel and see what’s going on.

As for the games you can watch, as we’ve mentioned before, there are quite a lot of them, and enumerating them will be an exercise in futility. However, we are more than happy to present some the competition’s highlights.

So, the 8^th Awesome Games Done Quick will debut on the 8^th of January at 7:00 pm with a session of Ape Escape 2, played by iongravirei, followed by immortal The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time 3D at 8:08 pm and Borderlands 2 at 10:23 pm.
