At first, I half-expected an obscure bible-themed diving game, but was pleasantly surprised by the neat music and Castlevania-feel of it. Then with the one donation comment mentioning Dio, it finally dawned on me what the devs had in mind with this, haha.

The farming comes with most Diablo runs I believe, but apart from that - admittedly a bit dull part - it was really entertaining.

AGDQ 2018 has ended with a donation total of $2,267,217.96, surpassing all Games Done Quick events before it. A bit mindblowing that sum I feel, when you think about the fact that it comes from watching people playing video games fast.

As mentioned by LongitudinalThrust above, you can access the event archive here.

For info on speedrunning, I can recommend the same dedicated Reddit speedrun thread, where in the sidebar you'll find an event tracker, links to resources etc.

Upcoming marathon: European Speedrunner Assembly (February 17-25). Next GDQ will be Summer Games Done Quick, held from June 24 to July 1.

Thanks for coming in here and discussing GDQ a bit :)

One more thing, I just read this article on a behind-the-scenes look at AGDQ 2018. Lots of interesting details and info.
