My feelings on The Demon Rush
NOTE: You've had nearly two weeks to prepare a post for the games topic. I'm not going to be sympathetic to anyone who breaks the rules. If anything, take a minute or two to review your post to make sure it's within guidelines.
Also, please be patient. There will be a lot of games suggested, and it will take me a while to look at all of the games being offered. If I somehow overlook your post, then please link to your post.

Rules
Break one of these rules and your potential 5 games goes down to 0 games. This is harsh, but necessary because I will be getting a lot of game suggestions.
-No backseat moderation, we have moderators for that. I'm not going to kill people if they go one character over 250 for a game pitch.
-No more than 5 games and 10 categories being suggested (so that's an average of 2 categories per game).
-Don't suggest games you are not going to run yourself, that just clutters the thread.
-No, "I could run this but I really don't want to." Also clutter.
-No technical stuff (like how to make the game work). If you're not confident you can get the game running then you probably shouldn't suggest it. If the game needs something special to make it work, then provide it or tell us what it needs!
-Suggest the games that you would really love to play for a marathon. You may pitch your games, but make the pitch length for each game no more than 200-250 characters. If you need to take longer to explain why your game is good for a marathon, then the game probably doesn't speak for itself and shouldn't be in a marathon. You may use past results in other marathons as part of your pitch, results generally speak louder than words.
-Don't make more than one post if you come up with an idea later, this is not a race to see who can get their ideas in the quickest.
Last but not least, POST TIME ESTIMATES!
tl;dr: Suggest no more than 5 games (this is a maximum, not a minimum!) that you would love to play at a marathon. Not games that you would hate to play or maybe you would play, but games that you really want to play at a marathon. Suggesting more than 5 games or randomly suggesting fluff means you get ZERO games.
This should go without saying, but if you try to cheat at getting more games (i.e. using dupe accounts), you get zero games.
Golden's post here is the format I want people to use. It lets me easily identify the games, the time estimates are clear to see, and his descriptions are good and not too long.

Quote from Golden:
Here's what I can offer for SGDQ! I tried to overestimate as best as possible, it's easy to do when you're bad 
My twitch page is www.twitch.tv/go1den
1. Super Mario World (96 Exit) [Estimate 1:50:00] - Someone had to throw it out there. At present I have a 1:35:11 in this category. I'll gladly yield this to Carl if he's attending and wants to run the new 100% category (please do it), or to anyone else who runs SMW better than myself. If you go with me you're guaranteed at least one "never happened to me before" moment, and one or more "totally novice scrub lol how is he this bad" death.
2. Street Fighter X Mega Man [Estimate 40:00] - I decided Duckfist's MM6 isn't enough to make the Mega Man block worse than the CV block, so I'm trying to depreciate it a little more
This might require some additional setup as far as having a Joy2Key or similar translation from my SNES controller. I would be playing version 1 of this game as well, which to my knowledge is not available for download anymore.
3. Harvest Moon [Estimate 5:00] - Like the Die Hard attempts from AGDQ, this could be donated in during setups of other games as it is a 2 minute run. Really nothing more than a joke run but it gets a good reaction if led to believe it will be "another sleep-through the game Harvest Moon run." You won't offend me if you axe this.
4. Super Monkey Ball (Beginner-Advanced-Expert) [Estimate 45:00] - This category beats all three main modes without extra stages (goals that skip stages are still allowed, although I suppose in the interest of a donation incentive we could say all stages?). Another game that I would gladly yield if someone better is playing; I'm fairly new to the game but pouring time into it.
5. Super Mario 64 (16 star, 2 players 1 controller with Peaches) [Estimate 35:00] - I know Peaches wants to run one-handed 70 star, so I'll leave it up to him, but we've tried this as well and had it down to 27 minutes in 2 runs. Maybe this can be bonus stream material instead in that case?
Also, throwing in support for Wawlconut's Donkey Kong Land, because I #RespectTheLand. He's put a lot of work into that game and it will show.
