I've been watching videos of this event for years and finally looked it up. Speedrunners playing awesome games for charity? Hell yeah.
This year they're benefitting Doctors without Borders. I'm bummed that they'll be in driving distance and I missed the cutoff but would still like to donate and enter some raffles for gear. Lots of Megaman runs that make me very happy. (I usually work on cross-stitch while watching playthroughs so would have had to bring yarn and a crochet hook and start an afghan to keep my hands busy.) I love that they read the messages out loud from donors while playing, and they've raised millions of dollars for this and Preventing Cancer. Some people have donated $500 or even $2000 in one go, and donations can go towards voting for endings or tunics or such in the games.
Gamers doing good.
