If Adam, Rayas, or mbisonfute are up for it, we could have a Dragon Crystal race.

No, the OTHER Marvel!

Quote from ButtersBB:

Meh, may as well put some games down. Hopefully I can suggest other stuff later.

1. Lifeline (PS2): 3:30 estimate. Groundbreaking adventure thriller controlled completely by voice. I really don't think I need to elaborate any further.

I'm... I'm so sorry...

Any chance of a donation incentive for getting the voice chips or extra commands? Grin

It's a marathon for fun, no donations. So, it's runner's preference.

Terrible at games

Brossentia said that we may or may not have a charity for this, it's up in the air at this point.

When he gets back from MIA and more serious/final stuff starts getting set up, we'll all figure that out.

I'd like to issue a challenge to anyone.

Ride to Hell: Retribution for PS3/360/PC.

This may very well be the worst game I have ever played in my life. (Saw a review, downloaded, was not disappointed.)

Sadly, the worst parts are the cutscenes, which would be skipped.

Basically, combat is so terribly done that I had a lot of deaths during maybe the 3rd mission. It's not hard, it's just so terribly done that you can die very easily.

Also, the game is LONG, as it looks to me at this point. There's no complete playthrough, let alone a speedrun, that I can find anywhere. With just a few timesavers that I found (triggers to hit early, I found a skip on one of the doors in the brewery), the first 6 missions (out of I believe 37) is at 1:15:00. Skips would have to be found to make this runnable, but the game is incredibly broken so there's probably a bunch.

So anyone that wants to try to take this on, I'd like to see it. And it would be fantastic for the marathon.

Precursor

So, again with games I don't really think are bad but probably would if I weren't speedrunning them (and other people think they're bad, so, that works):

Adventure Ponies 1 & 2, flash games for PC. They're short, which is why I'm offering both as one block of... well, ten minutes total and that's with a lot of extra time. I can do more with it - first game has six characters, two are identical, so potential is there for five runthroughs, and the second also has six but half are clones of the other half, so there's potential for three runthroughs, and that would make it a total of, probably, twenty minutes (these games are very short, the fastest character in the first one I'm on the verge of getting below two minutes and the slowest is just above three).

If one runthrough per game, then votes (donations wereh't going to be a thing right) for Best Pony to decide what characters to play.

Ok so the Dragon Crystal race is a go (well, it's being offered, anyway). Here's another sampler from a race with Adam: http://www.twitch.tv/robo_sparkle/c/2323819

Alright! Now that AGDQ has died down, I think it's time for a bit of an update.

So, I talked to Brossentia, and he is stepping down from the reins on this due to RL getting busy.

He's basically leaving the reins for this one open, (at least that's what it looked like through PMs, he can come in to clarify if he so wishes).

I'd be happy to assume some backend responsibilities, but due to inexperience and limited time, I definitely can't handle all responsibilities, so if anyone wishes to have this marathon come to fruition, any volunteers would be greatly appreciated.

You can add me on skype at dbarbarian7262, or PM me on here or Twitch at Chiron97.

Anyway, if it seems that this can work out, expect to see some more official and updated information soon!

I don't have time to help organize unfortunately, but I hope this still comes together at some point.
