Elysian Shadows

How many of you guys would be up for a game-a-thon?

For those of you less-knowledgeable folks, that's referring to the gathering of a group of people starting and beating the same game in one sitting, usually taking between 6-12 hours (depending on game, obviously).

If you're interested, we could easily get some kind of chat client going, such as mIRC, meet at a scheduled time, and pay our respects to one of many classic titles.

Great athoning games (from personal experience):
Zelda, (nes)
Super Mario 64 (n64)
Resident Evil (1,2,3)
Megaman (1-9, NES)
Donkey Kong Country (1,3)
Super Mario World (snes)
Zelda a link to the Past (gbc)
Megaman Legends

Obviously there's a shitload more, but we'd likely want a game that's easily beatable in 1 sitting (meaning, requires under 10 hours of play). Post any suggestions.

Again, anybody interested?

Well I'd definitely enjoy something like that, but considering I don't any any of those games the only way I could participate would be some sort of emulator. If anything I could hover in the chat channel and spectate.

Yeah, that sounds like fun, I'm down. Though I had to pick the HammSammich cause it sounds tasty!

Yea dude. Why on Earth are "Yes" and "HammSammich" two separate options?!

There's nothing wrong with emulators, and nothing to imply we're limited to the above games.

Agreed. I'll stay updated.

yeah I would be down as long as I don't have work or school.

I prefer a weekend date myself, but hell yeah.

Just putting this out here... Ocarina of Time... cause I keep getting to the ice cavern and I get distracted and never beat the damn game, no matter what I try.

Obviously you haven't tried continuing your game from the ice cavern ? :)

Actually:

First, I was borrowing the game from a friend who wanted it back when I got there.

Then I bought the game, go there, stopped playing and then lost the game.

THEN I played it via emulator during my senior year in high school and I lost the game file when I went to college.

Then, I got it on the gamecube in that 4 zelda game disc and my memory card died.

And finally, the last time I went through it, I got to the Ice Cavern via emulator and deleted the damn files after I ran out of space on my laptop when I was in Texas, far away from home.

D:

You need a flash drive DEDICATED to saving your Ocarina of Time game file... or three.

Hey, the poll results are showing 3 "yes"'s, none of which are me.

That's satisfactory...Granted that those people are actually hardcore enough to

A) Beat given game
B) Atleast stay through the 8 or so hours.

Fat change, but hey, it's worth a try. XDD

This weekend I won't be available. I'll post in ~2 weeks when timing's better for me. XD

In the meantime, feel free to start recommending games/genres.
