It's hard to believe, but Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online is already nearing the finish line for this year. The world's best speedrunners are inching towards the end of this week-long marathon. They're not in a live venue this year, but their mission remains the same. It's seven days of speedrunning action, showcasing the best games of the past and present for a worldwide audience on Twitch.

Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online is raising money for Doctors Without Borders. This year's runners have passed the $1,000,000 in five days. Shacknews will be checking out the action all week and we'll make sure to pop in with the daily schedule throughout this week, while also spotlighting noteworty runs worth following.

Before we go any further, let's look at a highlight from Day 5. For today's highlight, we witness once again just how powerful the BFG is.

Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online: Day 6 schedule

8:22AM - Factorio

I'm not a big Factorio player, so I can't speak to the technical elements of what a Factorio speedrun would entail. However, from everything I've heard from Factorio players, they're fascinated as to how Factorio can be run. This isn't exactly a "speedrun" kind of game. It would be like trying to run something like The Sims or Cities: Skylines. How does one even go about speedrunning something like this?

So join me this morning, as we watch Franqly's run and learn for ourselves!

10:17AM - Black Mesa

Black Mesa has been a labor of love for many years and was only in the last few years finally completed. Now let's see speedrunner JohannVonVorst break it to pieces. Old-school Half-Life fans will enjoy this run through the popular fan project, featuring a target time of just a little over two hours.

4:06PM - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

When The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild first released, there was a lot of fascination over how the first speedruns would shape up. Then glitches and exploits were discovered and it turned out the game could be beaten in just a few minutes. Whoops!

So rather than go through the super quickie run, Johnnyboomr is going to run through all of Breath of the Wild's dungeons. That will have a target time of two hours, so we'll at least get to enjoy the world of Hyrule for a little while.


Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online will take place from now through Saturday, July 10. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to watch all of the action from Twitch.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
