Games Done Quick

Awesome Games Done Quick is an annual charity speedrunning event. AGDQ2014 is on now (115 games this year,) and is livestreaming all week, 24 hours a day, to raise money for the prevent cancer foundation. It's one of my favourite nerd events of the year.
If you like watching people play video games in bizarre and unusual ways I recommend checking it out or archives of past events. I figured there'd be a few here who might be interested.
My favourite of this year wasn't an actual speed run, but somebody exploiting a glitch in a real Mario World cart on a real SNES to program an entirely new game using controller input (via a raspberry pi plugged into a controller input.)
