The event started at 11:30am on Sunday, January 9 and wrapped up with its finale around 2:00am on Sunday, January 16. In that time, viewers were treated to everything from a Featherless Nioh 2 run to the usual awful block, a bunch of classic games, and a mind-boggling dash through FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice… blindfolded.

Next up is the all-women’s event Frost Fatales on the week of February 27, followed by Summer Games Done Quick, the dates for which will be announced later.
