15 game marathon

But the the marathon is not the right place to do it.

That.

äääääääääääääääähm guys. It's basically summer.

I put a video in /junk that we need to get on everyone's youtube channels to help with the scheduling process.  A couple people have watched it, but a download link would be great, so we can get that ASAP.

Also, I'm on holidays for the last week of July.

I can't really help with the speedrunning part of any of this. If anybody needs help organizing this, though, drop me a line.

The video I made for those that can't find it.

Edit: Upload away.  Also, post a link of the vids here so I can go through the videos and look at the responses posted in the comments.

Hopefully, I should have a mark I schedule up next week sometime.

Guys, what's up with the lack of Link's crossbow training?

Does that even count? We also didn't consider the CD-i games, but do you honestly want that?

Spinoff games obviously don't count for shit. Wheres my tetra's trackers and tingle's rosy rupee speedruns? :P

FINE I'll do my own one game marathon of link's crossbow training  :P

Oh my god, I am back and I couldn't have picked a worse time.

I really want to help with this marathon, yet I lack internet in my apartment. Yeah, I just got myself an apartment, it's sweet!

However, the sad part is I'm low on money. No job means managing money more.

I was originally going to be a commentator, but I'm gonna have to drop out of that unless I can afford internet by then.

If you guys need any other help though, I'll see what I can do.

I haven't been keeping up with this marathon enough, so I don't know if OoT is being done in more than 1 way or not.... I'll be glad to back-up or do a run if I'm available on the date.

Is RG the main Any% guy at this moment, or are you guiys doing single-segment with Pokey or what?

Either way, if I can't do a run I'll be glad to be a chat mod or help in any other way such as advertising on youtube or whatever you guys need.

Turns out, if I'm lucky, I can leech off of other Wi-Fi signals in my building. So, it should help until I can get internet. I wouldn't mind being a chat mod. I know how to deal with chat stuff and it'd be kind of fun.

I'd say a bunch of the ZSR guys will definitely have mod status during the chat, so you could probably have that :P

I'll be the first to say I won't let the power go to my head. Just let me know if a signup for chat mods goes up or I can just keep checking here. Either way, I can't wait for this marathon. It will be the most epic of all things epic!

Bit of an update. The marathon is getting closer to being prepared.

THINGS THAT STILL NEED TO BE DONE:

- 4 Swords Adventures Player
- Player bio's
- Timeslots
- Pick a charity
- Advertise (after the rest has been decided)

A list of Zelda and/or speedrunning related sites:
(I have no idea how active some of these are, I just scraped affiliate lists)

http://zelda-temple.net/
http://www.zreomusic.com/index.php

Nearly all of these places have forums, and this is just Zelda-related sites for the most part. ANY WEBSITE THAT DISCUSSES VIDEO GAMES SHOULD BE ADVERTISED TO imo.

Well, that's shit that needs to get done. (Except advertising, that's later.)

I'll do FSA if no one else volunteers.

Also, I'm working on my bio right now.  You'll get it soon.

I can do FSA too.

Guys, I'm making the schedule tonight.  Anyone that hasnt voted for their top 4 games (not including OoT or MM) should PM me sometime TODAY.

All I ask is don't make PH and ST back to back.

Everyone needs to stream a playthrough of the game they plan on running for the marathon. We need to make sure people have a stable connection/good enough quality to stream, and are actually good at the game.

I might DQ myself from the marathon by streaming my 100% playthrough of MM this weekend.

There's only so much I can do...

And besides, I don't quite follow.  You'll have to elaborate a bit, what times are you looking to play at?

So it's split up into Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Sweet.

That should work for me to help with the chat. I plan on viewing the whole marathon anyway, so the order of games is okay for me. OoT is an epic way to finish the marathon!

What are the dates again?

EDIT: Never mind. I checked the other topic. I've got that weekend marked down on my calendar.

12am(morning) to 11 pm. PST

That schedule sounds good to me (I can wing it)

EDIT: Also, I did a playthrough on stream today, for like, 11 hours wireless.
I think I'm good to go for stream consistency

Haha wow, I gotta get up at 5AM to play TMC? Well, I figured this would happen. Ah well.

I need to setup a proper streaming setup, because right now it's:

Me, Laptop, Dazzle, Wii and TV upstairs

Computer, Router downstairs

I don't get the best connection that way :I Should I move my tv downstairs for test-streams?
