(Hopefully we don't get into a bidding war with the French again.

The Giant Bomb community always tries to push one of these "incentive" bids, so I'd recommended waiting to see what we're up to before you start donating. Viewers are encouraged to donate money to Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, no relation to Outer Heaven) in the name of Games Done Quick, either out of largesse or to be entered into a raffle for prizes or for the chance to influence a future speedrun: like selecting between two possible games to run, or to ensure an RPG character has a certain name. Each speedrun ranges from a short ten-twenty minute affair to a three or four hour marathon so, pretty much the same as any given Quick Look. Summer Games Done Quick 2015, the schedule for which can be found here, is a week-long charity event from July 26th to August 2nd in which various members of the Twitch speedrunning community meet in some hotel lounge for several days straight of playing video games with great celerity.

Which is an odd way to introduce an article about working on the Wiki pages in preparation for a charity speedrun event, I'll grant you, but then the heat always does odd things to my temperament. It's the least exciting and most humid part of the year, and I'm happy for any small distraction from the flesh melting and tedium to keep me busy until the mercifully temperate and game-packed Autumn season gradually falls upon us like so many golden-brown leaves.
