Saw this mentioned in other threads but no main thread for it.  Humble bundle is doing a package that supports the charity with a few games as well, so I should mention https://www.humblebundle.com/  too.

Games done quick is a collection of speedrunners doing some high profile games as fast as possible, and sometimes as weird as possible (there was a tool assisted bot run earlier than used a SNES with a gameboy thing with pokemon red in it in order to write to SNES memory a Twitch chat program so that Pokemon could stream chat and play Twitch.  Yeah.)

The charity they are supporting is the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and they have about $350k as of me writing this.  There are also some random prizes that people donating can enter for as well as some goals for certain runs that can get pledged to (like a 100% run, or choose a character to use, etc). 

I'm watching this stuff right now and trying to go back and forth between programming and watching it and its a lot of really neat tricks on a lot of favorite games (and of course if speedrunning interests you, its even better).  Pretty neat stuff.
