Some intriguing speedruns are lined up on PC over the rest of this week. The wee hours of tomorrow morning see a versus Any% battle between the original and definitive edition of my favourite GTA, Vice City. I’d wholeheartedly recommend the Any% runs of classic FPSs Star Wars: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast and Powerslave Exhumed on Wednesday, along with adventure game King’s Quest V on Thursday. There’s some newer games featured in this year’s event too, such as an Any% Tunic run later on Wednesday and a 100% run of the always entertaining Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion on Thursday. Don’t worry if you can’t stay conscious until daft o’clock to watch a run live because they’re all archived on Games Done Quick’s YouTube channel. I’m not a big esports person but I’m always up for watching speedruns when Summer Games Done Quick or its winter equivalent are happening – sometimes literally always up, during some of the long RPG runs. Try staying awake for tomorrow’s estimated four-and-half-hour Any% of Yakuza: Like A Dragon, for example. Here’s the full schedule of this week’s speedruns for your perusal. Summer Games Done Quick is happening from June 26th until July 3rd. You can follow along live, and make a donation if you like, at the official site here.
