Awesome Games Done Quick was SDA's 2nd annual charity marathon which took place from January 6-11, 2011 in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Over $50,000 were raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation during the event. It was a lot of fun being there, and I'm thankful to everyone who watched the runs or donated during them.

This is the 3-way race for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Satoryu's screen is on the top left, RaneOfSOTN's screen is on the bottom left, and my (romscout's) screen is on the bottom right. Satoryu won the race, I (romscout) finished about 30 seconds behind, and Rane did not complete the race but actually came very close to winning thanks to almost pulling off an OoB glitch to reach Dracula's chamber early.
The competitors are all on the couch. From left to right on that couch, you will see Satoryu, Rane, and me (romscout) wearing the cape. Listed below are the YouTube pages for the other two runners involved in the race.

Go watch my current record here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dU p6Vyv0
This is the new WR as of 5/21/13, overtaking the previous record by more than 90 seconds and my own personal best by nearly 2 minutes. This is mostly thanks to a few route optimizations with zips, although I think I executed the Dracula fight much better than my previous best. Astarte fight, not so much.
I was up all night and tired before attempting this, what can I say? I mostly just did the run because I was excited about the new route stuff. Im sure the time will drop a lot whenever I feel like doing a more serious round of attempts. Sorry that this is also my first full run in a while not to include commentary; I just didnt feel like talking because of how tired I was. Hope you enjoy the run anyway!")
