 The Speed Gamers are a group of people based out of Texas, who run marathons of video games to raise money for charity. As the name implies, these gamers don't just play the games, they try to complete them as quickly as possible, and on a live feed without tool assistance. The site also includes podcasts, a Twitter feed, and a massive fan-art section. They have grown an amazingly active community that rallies behind them, advertising on news sites and forums across the Internet. Notably, TSG has been featured in an article at The Escapist, as well as covered on CBS and NBC. In the past few months, they have started to produce original content, including Vlogs, artwork, and reviews.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })So far, they have raised over $920,000 (USD) for various charities with the following marathons:

 Artifact Title: While they're among the first speedrun livestreamers of the Internet, live speedrunners have grown a lot in popularity since 2008, many of them faster than TSG. Subverted, however, as according to an unofficial slogan in TSG's community, "Slow is a speed."

 Announcer Chatter: One of the main attractions is the commentators, who'll do almost anything for a donation. And when we mean anything, we do mean anything. One stunt they're going to to be doing soon as a reward for reaching a goal for their HQ is to carry Oscar (Who, to be honest, isn't the lightest guy in the world, although he's still awesome) on their back and walk a mile.

 Ascended Extra: Phil volunteered to play Twilight Princess when their scheduled player couldn't do it. He's been a core member ever since.
