What's the estimate on the completion time? All weekend?

Actually not that long, we define 100% as "all overworld spirits" so it wont be anywhere near as long/masochistic as low%. My guess is something like 5 hours. This is kirkq's first time streaming in months though so I had to make a hype vid for it.

absolutely anything posted:

Apparently Speedrunner Moltov A.K.A. Guy Who Have Breakdown At Zelda A.K.A. Guy Who Scream Real Loud At Zelda has decided to become Guy Who Cover His Controller In Honey At Zelda.

In addition to the numbersmw marathon that's been talked about already, there's another marathon coming up in like 8 days (Oct 26th - 28th) with a Halloween theme. This one's being put on to benefit Lindsey King, who you might know as the artist who makes a bunch of those banner images for the SDA marathons as well as other art prizes for the donation incentives. She's apparently had a rough streak of medical issues and now has a rough streak of medical bills to deal with, so the SDA members wanted to do something to help her in thanks for what she's done to help them.

For more about Ms. King's health issues, she has a page up for random donations already: http://www.giveforward.com/charityartistswampedwithmedicalbills

Here's the link to the marathon's list of potential runs, which is still very much a work in progress: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj2eKeMxVzzzdExqcWZnS3c5M1Y0UnZsd3RqQ2pPMEE#gid=0

There are a ton of great runs and runners in this list, so it should be a treat.

Was it ever there to begin with? :tinfoil:

Also, for those of you not keeping up, the AGDQ3 schedule had a few changes:

mikwuyma posted:

-Diddy Kong Racing is off the schedule because 0xwas can't come anymore. He says he most likely has to work on the 5th and 6th.

-Kirby games are now moved to Sunday to accommodate for the time offset by DKR being removed. Romscout is now playing Kirby Super Star.

-Journey to Silius now replaced by Gremlins 2. If someone else wants to pick up Journey to Silius, I'll add it back on the schedule.

-Super Mario 3D Land is now in right before the New Super Mario Bros. games. Greenalink says he'll bring the 3DS capture device with him.

-Ninja Kids is replaced by Timecop because Josh and I agreed it's a much better AwfulGDQ game. Also, Omnigamer has a game now.

-Duke Nukem 3D is back on the schedule, sandwiched in between Portal 2 and Doom.

-Maximum Carnage is now a bidding war with Holy Diver. I need to assign a timeslot for the bidding war, and as of now, I'm thinking the Wednesday setup hour should be good.

-Hurblat and I are running Shattered Soldier instead of Hard Corps Uprising.

I really hope someone reads out the translated story for Holy Diver as a way to hype up bidding for it, because it is one of the most metal plots I've ever heard for a video game.

Speaking of reading out the story, we seriously need the story for Timecop during the marathon, but I would settle for the Game Over screen, if that's not already being planned as a donation incentive.

Timecop's donation incentive could be handled in the opposite direction from most. At the start of Timecop, set a donation goal (or rather, ransom) that if not met by the end of Omnigamer's estimated 30 minute run, the game over screen plays on stream for however long the next setup period is. Of course several people here would love that, it certainly can't be that tolerable for many other viewers, can it?

Crazy that he still could've gotten it after choking and dying on the last bowser level, and then he missed twice. Oh well. With Sig it always seems to just be a matter of time anyway. Just sucks for him.

Funkdoc just shaved about 6 seconds off his record, getting a new time of 20:18 after an unfortunate final room. He's still going, though, and sub-20 is definitely possible.

He was on pace for an incredible run but missed the last full health pickup and died mere shots from sub-20. He did get a new record with 20:07.

In about 3 months, Funkdoc will be adamantly trying to hit sub 18.

Is there some sort of medical name for this kind of thing funkdoc and siglemic have?
