Full disclosure: I am the marathon chair and technical lead for BBG. So this is kind of an ad but also I'm 1,000% fine with people having frank discussions about the event; please do let me know what we get right and wrong and such!
Big Bad Game-a-thon is a yearly online speedrun marathon dedicated to bad, silly, and weird games. We focus on the positive aspects of these games and the fun they can be, and discourage negativity and outrage presentations on our stage.
We tend to call ourselves "An entire event of Awful/Silly Block", for people who enjoy GDQ's Awful Blocks.
We don't currently support a charity; we're an event for and by the kusoge fandom community. We're exploring options for this for future events though!
BBG 2025 currently has its submissions open, and will for the rest of the month of July. BBG 2025 itself is September 19-21.
Our website has links to old event VODs, our Twitch channel, the signup form, a link to our Discord (I know, I know), and more info if you're curious about us.

Oooh, this looks like something I'd like to watch. I hope somebody runs Tom & Jerry: the Movie for the Master System.

Re: Big Bad Game-a-thon 2025
I don't think we've ever had that one but looking at a video of this... You might have accidentally given me my idea for "I have to submit one run every year, because I have since the beginning"...Enbyeon wrote: Sun Jul 13, 2025 1:26 am Oooh, this looks like something I'd like to watch.

I've got... 2.5 weeks to figure it out... it'll be fine...

Re: Big Bad Game-a-thon 2025
It's a good speed-running game! Especially because it's built for beating the levels faster than the default duration.Trysdyn wrote: Sun Jul 13, 2025 7:27 pmI don't think we've ever had that one but looking at a video of this...
