It has begun!

Most games are random and unknown to me but I see some interesting ones in the list.

saw halo 2 had 50+k viewers on twitch randomly, picked my jaw up from the floor and saw it was because of this. became a little sad.. still was pretty cool though

The main website died D:

Never heard of this before. How do they raise money?

Donations. There's a donate button below the stream.
The goal was set at 500K I believe, Money goes to the cancer foundation.

Donation tracker says they've reached 160k now.

I cannot find the donation button. What I can find, however, is a bunch of links to a website that doesn't even load. I must say, this seems fairly unprofessionally pulled off? Which actually surprises me, since they're featured on the front-page of Twitch.

I saw a couple of guys beat Hotline Miami in under 30 minutes. That was insane.

It's actually quite well done.
I'm not sure why the site went offline for a while but it was about an hour. It's back up again now.
Perhaps they used up more bandwidth than was anticipated, or something was up at the host

Anyway: here's the URL from the donate button if you still have issues detecting it...

Good to see the website up now. It was down for more than 10 hours yesterday, I can't believe they worked so slow. But then again, they were probably busy gaming, ya' know

Just watched 5 minutes of Borderlands 2, and they hit 500k while I was watching lol

Well... unfortunately for me the end of AGDQ was in the middle of the night, so I missed it
I see they reached $1.000.000, so that means they ultimately doubled the goal that was set
