A couple weeks ago, the amazing "Summer Games Done Quick" charity event, where tons of talented speedrunners show their incredible prowess at completing video games, raised over a million dollars for Doctors Without Borders. For this special Kirblog, I'm joined by two of those runners: Edobean and Tripl3ag3nt, to talk about the speedrunning community, how they first started, their passion for games and why they speedrun, and much more. The runners of the GDQ events are truly some of the most giving and amazing people I've ever seen, so I considered it an honor to speak with these two and pick their brains a bit about the world they're part of.

In case you missed SGDQ 2016, check out the archive of the many amazing runs from that week on their official YouTube channel!
