Video games Executed Fast’s subsequent weeklong charity speedrunning shindig kicks off this weekend. Frost Fatales, one among GDQ’s two occasions celebrating ladies and femmes, runs from March 9 to 16, elevating cash for the nonprofit Nationwide Ladies’s Regulation Heart.
Frost Fatales is the winter installment of the pair of occasions organized by GDQ’s Body Fatales speedrunning neighborhood. (Its summer season counterpart is Flame Fatales.) Final yr’s Frost Fatales raised $155,000 for a similar nonprofit, which fights for gender justice in points central to the lives of ladies and women. For the reason that first Body Fatales occasion in 2019, the biannual speedruns have raised over $1 million for charity.
This yr’s festivities dive proper into the deep finish with a run of the charmingly punishing Cuphead at 1PM ET on Sunday, adopted by Tremendous Mario Odyssey a mere hour later. Anybody who can beat Cuphead in that point deserves a Medal of Honor.
Different notable runs from the week embrace the OG Legend of Zelda on Sunday, the Wii reboot of Punch-Out!! on Monday, a “woman squad” three-way race in Remaining Fantasy X-2 on Wednesday and a race to defeat Ganon (once more) in Breath of the Wild on Saturday. The week wraps up with a one-handed (say what?) speedrun of the indie platforming basic Celeste later that evening.
