I can write a table for you in both old and new twitch layout if you'd like, at least for the schedule. I'm not really a design person, so it'll be bland but also simple; it'll be similar to how I have my list of personal bests in my own twitch channel at twitch.tv/kirbymastah and twitch.tv/kirbymastah/new

Also if you want to have one more game for the metroid block, I can offer metroid: zero mission 100% since you're making more space but of course it's not a big deal if you don't want to or if scheduling doesn't work out :p

Well shoot, if you're looking for more people I can run The Battle of Olympus. 40 minutes or your olives back.

EDIT: added 5 minutes for setup and possible troll bat time

Hmm, I might have a problem. I can't really setup my mic while streaming from my NES :/
So if anyone wants to commentate or talk during my run (Darkwing Duck), that would be really awesome.

If you could only choose between game audio and microphone, I'd probably choose microphone, but that's me. I know how important game audio is, though. I have Sunday off, but I dunno if I'll be awake in time for the run.

No, that's not the problem. Basically, I need to have a good mic with a really long cord Tongue

Maybe I can figure something out before the marathon.

Getting rid of the rant that was previously here.

I am no longer using PitchInBox. I will just be using the standard PayPal donation link and I will be updating the donation count manually. (Unless someone can make a tracker thing.... somehow)

I don't like how PitchInBox when linked to PayPal has "Payment" and "Item Price" rather than "Donation".

*****

I won't have internet for the weekend so if you do message me for anything. I will reply and get back to you after the weekend.
Have a good weekend guys.
Thank you to everyone who has been promoting this!
We need to get as much hype as possible. Only one week away! I can't wait!

How long are we talking?

Final progress update on FF1. Had some practice runs with scary moments that should have induced death/game over. Every run has been coming in well under estimate, so I'm about as set as can be. HYPE!

ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ=3=3=3 getting nervous but I will get ready!

I am tho question P4A As a speedrun, I guess its story mode? But with all the text skipping? Is it really viable for speedrun and a marathon?

I am no longer accepting anymore games into the marathon. The schedule you now see is final!
It is going to be an awesome Marathon and it is getting extremely close now.
If there are any more donation incentives/prizes anyone wants to donate can you send me a PM ASAP please.

Irregular. If it during the marathon I cannot help you out. I should be having people round my place during the marathon to help keep things organised on my end so I can ask one of them if no one else can help.

Anyway...
HYPE!

Is there any overlays that we should feature on the stream like the charitty name/logo? (i'd like to be a bit prepared before it's my turn to stream) and I'm assuming that the stream key will be sent out as we get a bit closer to the weekend :3

Marathon Hype!

I will send out the stream key in individual PMs. I am currently not at home so I will do that when I get home this evening.

Things I want on your stream overlay;

- Runner : <Your Name>
- Your twitch : <Url>
- Game : <Game you are running>
- Estimate : <Your estimated time>
- A timer. No splits. Only the timer!
- I think the charities logo will be good. Keep it small a everything else in the stream is more important: http://imgur.com/IGwcoxu
- If you have a webcam. I would prefer you to have it on. I don't know about you guys but when watching a speedrunner with the webcam on it feels a bit more immersive.

I think that is it. If you can have this set up and READY for FRIDAY. Even if you are not running Friday, I want you to have it ready for then.

This is important. Before you run can you have your game, timer and everything ready to go straight away! This is so when you need to switch the stream to you, everything is ready and you can start running pretty much straight away. This will limit the amount of set up time and will not waste any!

I might have missed something so if I have. Tell me Smiley

I am also looking for Mods to be in the chat to help keep things clean etc.

I will be giving every runner Mod status on the channel but if anyone else would like to help with modding the chat please ask.

Ah right, forgot to mention:

There can be a donation incentive for filename on The Battle of Olympus.

There's two names, the hero and the heroine. Both can be up to six letters long. I wouldn't be against people naming both with a single donation.

It's ready today:

That empty space on the right is a bit of an eyesore, but I have nothing else to fill it with aside from the usual:

Fairly certain Mousebutt is not appropriate for this venue (please don't hurt me, rini!), and I'm open to suggestions.

PS: Yes, I know I look like a scrub. That will be taken care of well before Saturday. Smiley

I'm not sure if I want to use a webcam since with my setup, people will be staring at the back of my head, and I don't think that's preferable lol. I can play on emulator to face my cam, but I'd rather play on console too... <_<

IF!

If you do not have one or it wouldn't be feasible, do not use one.
I should have made that bit clearer sorry.

I'd like to not do ZM 100% for the marathon

As you could tell from visiting my stream, I'm not ready at all. I can't do a single run without a major mistake, I can't even finish a run, and I'm not skilled at all. So it'd be good if you took that out of the schedule. Thanks!

Not sure if you saw my tweet Kirby, but I'm willing to step in and do this run if iMysty is OK with it. The time slot it's in is fine as well so there wouldn't need to be any shift in the schedule.

I must've missed your tweet, but yeah that's fine. I think I'm just much more comfortable with doing fusion 100%, and I'm not as experienced with ZM <_< As you could tell, I'm not comfortable at all with doing marathon runs and also very harsh on myself with ZM, aka not really marathon-ready Tongue

I need opinions here. Which communication software would be best. Mumble. TeamSpeak or Skype.

HELLO!

My tests have shown Skype to work best for this. Particularly for audio to be put on stream, from multiple people, for a long period.
