Just a few days and SDA is back with its summer installment of "Games Done Quick".
After the non-success naming Tifa ESPORTS at the beginning of the year our conquerer Poxnor is taking the pad in it's own hands and running Final Fantasy VIII!
So we definitely have to find a way, that ESPORTS strikes back! Ideas are welcome; my (stupid) idea was to pay Poxnor for shouting "FOR ESPORTS" when he defeats the final boss  Maybe he will go for such a thing!
I don't want to bore you with all the history; Flicky did this sooo good!
So here are the facts:
When? Thursday, May 24 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) until Monday, May 28 11:45pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (and then the credits)
What? Pure Awesomeness! Here is the shedule
Why should I donate? All donations go to the Organization for Autism Research
Bottom Line!? FUN! SPEED! ESPORTS!

Going to be a hell of a fun time, thought I'd give this thread a bit of love before i get maybe the last sleep in days. So many good games to watch, and so many crazy good speedrunners.
Good memories with a lot of these titles, and watching them get destroyed is quite entertaining, particularly with live commentary.
On the completely selfish side of things, looking forward to see how the reception is for Soul Blazer. Reaif and I are like the only 2 people we've found that run the game, but he makes the run look great when he's practiced =D.

Why do I have to work weekends!~ ARRRRRGH
M>L<G , IPL, Iron Squid, special tournaments!~~~
And now a fun stream that's always for charity
Good fortune speed-demos-archive!

Everyone should tune in and donate if they feel compelled. These marathons are a really great show I am very excited.
|
It's starting soon!
If it's anything like last year this will be the balls. Taking a look at the schedule there's alot of familiar games, but ofc they can't pick new ones every year and trying to beat last years record is always tempting.
Personally I'm looking forward to Resident Evil 1+2, Alice: Madness Returns, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, Aquaria and LittleBigPlanet, just cause I never played the game myself but I'm pretty sure a speedrun of it looks cool.

Just 2h to go!
Had to transfer some money to paypal to donate like I want to

There is a distinct lack of hype over this event in comparison to the last one.

The last one was over 120 hours and possibly got more attention due to prevent cancer foundation.

The January Marathon is the big one, this is a smaller, house held event.
Although the SDA opera from 2 years ago was amazing enough that I can't wait for it again.
|
OH yeah I've been counting the days for this one.
Several great games in this marathon that I'm really looking forward to.
This is gonna be great.

This is so awesome but the timezones fuck me over all the time. Will watch anyways, so looking forward to this.
|
Watch when you can, the videos will be up a bit after the marathon.
Importantly, donate if you can!
|
AHHHHHH! Spelunker! Hopefully I'll be awake to watch that. The game seemed impossible to beat when I was 7 years old.
|
Awesome, I love these marathons by SDA! Looking at the schedule though I probably won't watch much until later tonight when they start Resident Evil 1&2.
|
Nice run to start things off, Darkwing Duck setting the bar high with the Startropics goodness.

Actually, I think we should go for someone for FFVI. The FFVIII characters will be Squall or Rinoa or just GFs. I think everyone is quite often used in FFVI so I guess, pick a character and a name.
Edit: FFVI has a six character limit, main characters used are: Celes, Edgar and Setzer. Due to the limit, Liquid or what. ESPORTS won't fit. I guess we could just do ESPORT.
Celes is the main one (lame) Edgar has a crossbow and Setzer has Joker Doom which rapes the game.
Setzer yes?
