If you didn't catch the Games Done Quick crew's summer charity run, you're about to get a second chance: the speedrun specialists are starting their winter campaign, Awesome Games Done Quick, at 12PM Eastern. The week-long event will see volunteers blaze through a mix of titles to raise funds for cancer prevention. It promises to be quite eclectic. Things kick off with Nintendo's frenetic shooter Splatoon, and you'll see both numerous classics (including the notoriously tough Battletoads) through to modern hits like Bloodborne. There are perks for donating, too, such as getting to influence the stream. Tune in below, and chip in if you're eager to support a good cause.

The trend of putting PC software on wholly impractical devices isn't stopping with the new year, folks. GBATemp fan Shutterbug2000 has managed to get Windows 95 running on a New Nintendo 3DS XL thanks to both DOSbox emulation and some ingenuity. You won't be doing a whole lot with this right now -- Microsoft wasn't designing for touchscreens and analog sticks two decades ago -- but it really does work on a basic level. It looks more than a little odd, too, between the tiny desktop and the emulator status on the second screen.
