Prepare for another Crash Bandicoot block. I am offering absolutely everything.

Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/mrnojojojo
Youtube:

1. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - 105%
Estimate: 2:50:00
Personal best: 2:29:12
Console: PS1, can also be played on PS2 -- NTSC-U
Last ESA there was a huge disappointment wave in the chat, that we didn't have Crash 3. It's is perhaps the most popular game in the series and the run has quite a few interesting strats to show off. Definitely one of the most entertaining runs I have ever done (if you do it well). This run right here has the highest priority for me to make it to ESA by the way! The other submissions are less important to me. Also Crash 3 hasn't been in any of these marathons yet.

2. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex strikes back - 100% or "Any% No Game Over Abuse"
Estimate: 1:35:00 or 50:00
Personal best: 1:26:50 and 43:55
Console: PS1 game but played on a PS2 -- PAL
100% has more entertainment value for sure and has a lot of cool tricks as well. Any% No Game Over Abuse may still be picked in favor if 100% is too long. I am fine with both.

3. Crash Bandicoot - 100% or Any%
Estimate: 1:40:00 or 1:00:00
Personal best: 1:26:31 and 47:57
Console: PS1 game played on a PS2 -- PAL
Same case as for Crash 2. I am not sure how much more interesting 100% is compared to any% but they are both really nostalgic runs and (hopefully) impressive.

4. Crash Twinsanity - 100%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Personal best: 1:38:10 (I haven't exactly grinded everything out too much recently but this will go down a lot, callin' it)
Console: PS2 -- PAL
Run with many many skips, out of bounds tricks and mindblowing shit that will make you go wtf.

5. Disney's Hercules: Action Game - Any% on Medium Difficulty
Estimate: 40:00
Personal best: 36:59 (old as fuck)
Console: PS1 -- NTSC-U
Hypest run there is, also racing this one with Jazzy if I can.

6. Crash Nitro Kart - Any%
Estimate: 1:15:00
Personal best: 1:11:20 (very old, haven't played the game a lot since)
Console: PS2 -- PAL
Well now that I think of it, my PB is the SDA run so you can check that out. Other than that this run can be interesting to watch, or it can deal as battlefield for "CTR vs CNK" debates. Fun al the way, ain't it? I am going to improve my PB in this one a lot though, if it goes into the schedule. Also race with other people (Inferno and/or Josh).

7. Crash: Mind over Mutant - Any%
Estimate: 1:50:00
Personal best: 1:55:15 (I haven't exactly done a lot with this but this can easily go down by 20 minutes so no worries)
Console: PS2 -- PAL
In this run I can prove that a game that is hated by everybody is actually not too bad for speedrunning. In fact, it has a lot of minor skips that do save a shit ton of time etcpp.

8. Grand Theft Auto III - All Missions or 100%
Estimate: 4:20:00 or 8:30:00
Personal best: 3:30:58 and 7:43:46
Console: PC
You can almost neglect this submission because of eid's any% one but if it goes down to the point where someone wants to see one of these categories then I would be happy to show them off, although I am a better representation of 100% rather than All Missions.

9. Crash Bash - Any% Co-Op with InfernoEnvexia or OverwhelmedPie
Estimate: 2:30:00
Personal best: 2:34:34 (single player)
Console: PS1, can also be played on PS2 -- whatever region you want
Lots of cool stuff, trust me. Also very nostalgic to most people who liked PS1 games too.

10. Crash Tag Team Racing - Any%
Estimate: 1:00:00
Personal best: 52:40
Console: PS2 -- PAL
Why not?

11. Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil - Any% w/ Popka
Estimate: 2:20:00
Personal best: I don't remember, something around the estimate time
Console: PS2 -- PAL
I thought of taking this game more seriously and I am pretty sure I can get something going until ESA. Pseudo 3D platformer, quite tricky and ti requires me to use a second controller with my feet. I am not sure what an actual good time is since I only did 2 runs of this game and my past broadcasts got deleted but I will go more into it if this makes it in the schedule or at least through the first cut.

Don't be too worried about seemingly low estimates. I can usually consistently finish the runs with a time that is on par with my PBs (not looking at Mind over Mutant) so everything I put up there is alright the way it is. As long as Crash 3 105% gets through I am happy. Depending on submissions of other people I may take some submissions back or just race them. Most of my times in Crash games have been WRs before and/or are very close to newer WRs (by experts for those certain games) still, so I think I can provide good stuff there. Also I am still not 100% sure if I will be attending, just like last year. High quality commentary will be provided in most cases unless I am sick again. And even if I am, I have a lot of my crew members here this year that can help out and commentate along.

1. Nox - Any% Warrior
Estimate: 50:00
Personal best: 41:20 RTA
Console: PC
Most people have probably never heard of Nox, because it's an action RPG released just before Diablo 2. But Nox had two things Diablo 2 will never have: A thrilling competitive PvP scene, and apple-bumping. The speedrun is highly skillful, well paced, and has a bunch of wonky tricks; the Warrior class would probably be the best show since he's the most straight-forward but also (arguably) has the more interesting route. Because apple-bumps.
RTA WR:

2. Risk of Rain - Any%
Estimate: 25:00
Personal best: 18:02 RTA, 17:48 IGT
Console: PC
Studio has shown off this game at a few marathons already. However, I'm the world record holder by a significant margin, and I also specialize in a different character than him, and the Huntress plays very different from Acrid. Warning: Death and incomplete run plausible.
WR:

3. Temple of Elemental Evil - Any% (Bad? ending)
Estimate: 10:00 (setup included)
Personal best: 5:23
Console: PC
A D&D-based RPG that is incredibly broken and extremely easy. It's more a joke game than a real run, but not a lot of people have seen it, it's a pretty funny route, and it's short.

1. GTA V – Classic % (no taxi and mission skip abuse) co-op with Meridian & J4sp3rr
Estimate: 9h
Personal best: 9h47 RT (WR = 8h20mins RT). We only did 2 full attempts so far, however we've been grinding 1Ls since. We expect to be reasonably close to or at WR lvl by the time ESA comes.
Console: PS3

Comments: ESA bounty game, so both the run and our general level are still in development. In short, estimate might drop. The game features 3 playable characters, each with a specific skillset and unique special ability. The idea is that each of us controls 1 specific character (cos-play is a given!), so that whenever there is a character-switch in-game, we will pass the pad to the corresponding runner. The optimization of the run entails clever usage of the abilities that the different characters possess and the dynamics of switching between them at will. Us swapping the pad around constitutes a cool extra gimmick and creates a nice sense of teamwork. Obviously, it also means that the full duration of the slot is shared between 3 runners.
Donation incentive possibilities aplenty, such as: live yoga during “Did anyone say Yoga” mission (whilst pressing buttons) & like-wise cutscene re-enactments, character's haircuts and which scenario is chosen for the final mission (you can kill 1 of the main characters (Michael or Trevor) or decide to save both).

2. Super Mario Kart – All Cups GP150cc
Estimate: 40 min
Personal best: 32min03secs (=WR)
Console: SNES (NTSC)

Comment: I did the PAL equivalent of this run at ESA last year. The NTSC version is better, as it is faster and allows more item-based tricks. The game probably speaks for itself, but if there are any questions, ask away. This is undoubtedly the game where I pushed my gaming-skills the furthest and I’ve been NTSC Time Trial #1 since 2008.

3. UN Squadron – any% (Easy) Race vs Meridian
Estimate: 30 min
Personal best: 24mins12secs (Meridian’s PR is 24mins23secs)
Console: SNES (NTSC)

Comment: Meridian and me have been racing this the past few NLG Mini’s and it’s been close races everytime. Though this game is an autoscroller (shoot m up), variation is introduced through how quickly you can kill bosses and power-up/money management. This game is already pretty hard on Easy, and pushing the difficulty higher will result in a decreased chance of getting a close race.

http://www.twitch.tv/nlg_organisation/b/473651438 (race starts at 35 mins)

I have no preference for which of the 2 streams I could be featured on; whichever one you want me to play on, I'll be there.

1. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 - Puppet%
Estimate: 01:20:00
Personal best: 01:09:30 (WR)
Console: PS3
This game is a really calm and relaxing speedrun, becuase of the music that contrasts good with the fighting. It's made after the Naruto anime and a few things come back to it. Sadly enough this category isn't the full game and is until you save Gaaraa. It's a good point to finish the run and it's basicly finnishing the first 2 chapters of the game. Also it's a pretty hype game if you put it the right way Wink

Link: http://www.twitch.tv/nlg_organisation/b/485883210 (I didn't get the opportunity to upload it to youtube yet and this is my PB of 1:11 because the mini is still ongoing and I just imporved my time xD)

2. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 - Any%
Estimate: 5,5 tot 7,5 hours
Personal best: 7:08:30 (WR)
Console: PS3
This is the same game as the previous game, but then fully played. It's until you beat Pain nowand safe your village. It's a bit harder than the other category and also longer, but it has way more to it than Puppet%. I haven't done this category for a while but I'm sure it will be all alright as long as I start practising again. We'll see Wink

I gave up 5,5 hours, because I can do it in 5 hours but I mercy killed the run because I lost an hour to the end boss, because RNG. It's tricky, but fun. (Sadly enough I lost the recording of this when my last pc broke ;_;)

Donation Incentive for both categories:
-Cosplaying

1. [color="red"][b]Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2[/b][/color] - Puppet%
Estimate: 01:20:00
Personal best: 01:09:30 (WR)
Console: PS3
This game is a really calm and relaxing speedrun, becuase of the music that contrasts good with the fighting. It's made after the Naruto anime and a few things come back to it. Sadly enough this category isn't the full game and is until you save Gaaraa. It's a good point to finish the run and it's basicly finnishing the first 2 chapters of the game. Also it's a pretty hype game if you put it the right way ;)
Link: http://www.twitch.tv/nlg_organisation/b/485883210 (I didn't get the opportunity to upload it to youtube yet and this is my PB of 1:11 because the mini is still ongoing and I just imporved my time xD)

2. [color="red"][b]Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2[/b][/color] - Any% 
Estimate: 5,5 tot 7,5 hours
Personal best: 7:08:30 (WR)
Console: PS3
This is the same game as the previous game, but then fully played. It's until you beat Pain nowand safe your village. It's a bit harder than the other category and also longer, but it has way more to it than Puppet%. I haven't done this category for a while but I'm sure it will be all alright as long as I start practising again. We'll see ;) I gave up 5,5 hours, because I can do it in 5 hours but I mercy killed the run because I lost an hour to the end boss, because RNG. It's tricky, but fun. (Sadly enough I lost the recording of this when my last pc broke ;_;)

1. Disney's Hercules: Action Game - Any% medium difficulty
Estimate: 45:00
Personal Best: 32:56 (WR)
Console: PS1
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHvCAUx3w4g
Pretty straight forward, but entertaining run. My estimates higher than Pete's just for safety. I am really consistant with this game normally and don't get anything higher than a high 33. Possibly racing this with PeteThePlayer

2.Spyro: Year of the Dragon - 100egg
Estimate: 1:20
Personal Best: 1:12:38
Console: PS1
My estimate for this is pretty high at the moment, since I'm still pretty bad at the game. I will seriously grind out runs of this soon, and I expect the estimate to come down quite a bit if this does make it in. In my opinion, really cool run and pretty fast paced as well

1. Mario kart: Double Dash!! - All Cup tour race!
Estimate: 40min
Personal best: 34:20 real, 27.55 ingame = WR
Console: gamecube (60hz)

Third time we're making this run, includes skillful driving with tight turns, blue/red shell dodging, nice aiming with items and super fast miniturbos, also some crazy techniques like A-tech and R-tech! Will be a race between me and Bogjavel (Richard Karlsson)

2. Mega Man 3 Any% no glitchess
Estimate: 45min
pers best: 40.26, (will get better) Wink

Console: NTSC NES

Haven't played this game much yet but i will spend more time in this in the future, so will probably have a better time on ESA, if we have two streams i could do a run if there's time over, just a suggestion!

1. Rock Band - Full band (Expert Drums for me)
Estimate: None
Personal best: None
Console: Xbox 360
Since Edenal and OP mentioned rhythm games on 2nd stream, it would be great to have Rock Band on it. Rock Band is not a speedrunnable game (Can't really speed up the songs, only go fast in the menus), that's why there is no PB or Estimate on it.
I'm Expert difficulty drummer for about 5 years now (playing on and off), and I already know a couple of runners that could form a full band on expert difficulty. We'll figure out how to get the instruments there. It should be great fun and also a possible donation incentive for song picks?

EDIT: Looks like there are more people interested in this. Possible idea to form 2 bands and then battle eachother for more points? Sounds like great fun.

1. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Any% Warpless
Estimate: 2:00:00
PB: 1:50:07
WR: 1:46:24
Console: JP Emu (getting a new SFC soon)

Comment: This would be a race with fellow swedish Yoshi's Island runner Aedelz (http://www.twitch.tv/aedelzzz). Due to our similar times in this game, I think that this could be a very intense race. Yoshi's Island has tons of room for show-off stuff which makes it an enjoyable experience for the viewer as well as hard-to-pull-off tricks. The run relies on 99% skill and has little to no RNG.

1. Beethoven's 2nd: the Ultimate Canine Caper – any%
Estimate: 15 minutes
Personal best: 5:42
Console: SNES (NTSC-U)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSAldhrv0DU

Beethoven's 2nd is a fun platformer with some funky movement mechanics such as bunnyhopping. It's basically the 2D equivalent of Quake. Shrimp was interested in running this too, so it would probably end up being a race. Shrimp is just as good as me and it would definitely be an even and exciting race. Shout outs to the Beethoven community.

Estimate: 20:00

Console: Sega Master System
Pretty unknown Ninja Gaiden game, and a really good one at that. It's an execution heavy run, and it has a small number of cool damage boosts and tricks.

1. Silver - any% (If i manage to route 100% in time we could make that a donation incentive or something)
Estimate: 4Hours 30Minutes
Personal best: 3:54:37
Console: PC - GoG Version

Its a super need speedrun cause Silver. Its less of a glitch intensive run than just a shitton of execution and crazy mouse movement cause of the controls. The big con would be that the game needs a PC with a shitty CPU to run cause some stuff is bound to the CPU clock which can crash the game at certain points. Marathon strats would include me to take as many saves as possible that don´t take ages for me to get. That are a lot to be precise.

2. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken - any%
Estimate: 2hours
Personal best: 1:44:44
Console: PC - Steam Version

Well, Rocketbirds. A weird game that includes great music and chickens that fight against penguins. Is there any more to say? It includes some puzzles and is again more execution heavy than full of glitches but who knows what the future will bring.

Another PB in shitty quality: http://www.twitch.tv/thegons/c/2974024

3. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken - Co-op
Estimate: 45Minutes
Personal best: 4X:XX
Console: PC - Steam Version
Co-op Partner: MeridianPrime

The Rocketbirds co-op, not as much story as the Singleplayer but still hilarious fun to play. Its another execution heavy run and we will need 2computers for it. Basically we will take 2 chickens and try to safe a chick from the evil Penguin army. Thanks to the 2players this results in some neet looking executions. Who would not want to see 2chickens fight penguins? I mean cmon.

Donation Incentives:
-Character choices

4) Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble 3 - Good Ending co-op with RoboSparkle(I did not forget im just too bad at this to suggest it first q.q )
Estimate: 1:10:00
Personal Best: Well theres a reason for why i said im bad. Take robos time(Singleplayer): 1:02:45 (WR)
Console: Amiga
Link: His run isn't on twitch, must have forgotten to save it or twitch lost or something. However, I has a sampler for you - http://www.twitch.tv/thegons/c/2739411 and Robo will be improving his single player PB. I will also try to get a PB(finally).
Why? Two fat children who used to be bubble-spitting dinosaurs replace their Rainbow Powers with Parasols and save multiple inexplicably themed planets. The gameplay is similar but faster-paced than Bubble Bobble and while we haven't yet played together, the enemy formations don't change and item pickups are quite simple to manipulate (specifically speed shoes acquired in the first world) so co-op mode allows Bub and Bob to wreck some levels and bosses almost before they even start. Also watch Robo and I attack each other between levels to see who is the true Parasol Star!

Would prefer these runs to be on 1st stream, allthough 2nd stream is possible if 1st is impossible

1. GTA V - Classic% (no taxi and no failed missions skips) Co-Op with KVD and MeridianPrime
Estimate: 9-10 Hours(probably going to go lower as we start to actually get a proper route together)
Personal best: 10:14 RTA (current WR is 8:20)
Console: PS3 (PAL)
The fact we do the 3 man co-op in a special way(we have to swap controllers to eachother during hests is really cool, also there's some interesting strats and GTA is generally super hyped anyways

Donations incentives:
As mentioned by Meridian(there's ALOT of options)

2. Trauma Center: Second opinion - Normal difficulty any%
Estimate: 2:00 (This is higher than i estimate my pb to go down to, but that's because there's a sort of a runkilling missions in there and the bosses can be kind of hard sometimes)
Personal Best: 1:55:15 - http://www.twitch.tv/j4sp3rr/c/3625314 (this is easy mode but i'm expecting to improve alot by grinding and i wanna run normal by ESA)
Platform: Wii (PAL)
It's a really cool game to play casually allready and it gets super intense as the game goes on, i wanna try and speedrun this because i loved to play it casually and i wanna see how much i can push this game and my own abilities.

Notes:
I just picked this game up and am working on getting my time down, it's getting faster and faster and its an awesome game none the less Cheesy

3. Glare - Any%
Estimate: 1h
Personal Best: 50 Minutes(current WR is 47 minutes)
Platform: PC
It's a really interesting and fairly new platformer with quite a few cool strats and mechanics, its also quite hard and unforgiving

4. Mirror's Edge - Glitchless%
Estimate: 1:15
Personal best: 1:08(rusty though and i'm improving, current WR is 52 Minutes)
Platform: PC
Mirror's Edge is pretty damn hype, also i feel Glitchless% is cooler than Any%, it also raises alot of possability for a any% vs Glitchless% donation incentives, i can practise for any% if requested so the donation incentive can go on.

Extra Notes:
i don't have twitch vod for the pb's yet, i'll get them as soon as possible as i get around to practising the games again, gta V and Glare can come from the mini, my Mirror's edge PB was off stream Derusting

Second Stream Stuff:

1. Guitar Hero/Rock Band - Guitar/Bass Expert
i've played Guitar hero quite a bit and can play most of the songs on expert would love to join in
we might even be able to set up party mode if there's lots of people joining and just switch around roles??

1. Electronic Super Joy - Any%
Estimate: 00:50:00
Personal best: 00:36:34
Console: PC
It's all about getting the hang of all the game mechanics, failing to do so will affect the time quite a bit, especially in autoscroller-y levels. It's my first speedrun game, I started learning this game just for ESA, and so far I've completed runs with lots of improvement to be done. But I'm loving it. It's a simple run to watch with little RNG manipulation thrown in. It's straight up running... with speed. Also if there are multiple submissions of this game, I'm willing to race.
http://www.twitch.tv/nikneim_/c/3666162 is my current PB.

2. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time - Any% (Finnish%?)
Estimate: - 6:15:00, current WR is 5:57:10 by SerSanju
Personal best: 6:05:34
Console: PS3
Another game I also started to run for ESA. I love Sly games, and this is a fine addition to the series, bringing something new to the table while still staying true to the series roots. The game is basically the same as Sly 2 and 3, meaning that there are no major skips involved, cutscene skips are a thing though and there's lots of them to skip over, so many they make the game alot faster than a casual playthrough (about 4-5 hours faster, though there are smaller cutscenes you can't skip, so you can really feel and hear the Finnish% sweetness), but it basically comes down to doing the missions as perfectly as possible.
Due to ISP problems, the recording of my PB got split up to 2 parts:

Part 2: http://www.twitch.tv/nikneim_/b/506055592

Second stream stuff:

1. Guitar Hero/Rock Band - Guitar/Drums/Bass Expert
Estimate: -
Personal best: -

I've played a fair amount of Guitar Hero back in the day and even this year (but I was drunk and that didn't end well) I don't know if I'd be able to bring any equipment, but if someone else is capable of doing this, I'd love to play. I also won't be bringing consoles, so if you need a player that's pretty good at expert, ring me up!

1. [color="red"][b]Electronic Super Joy[/b][/color] - Any%
[b]Estimate[/b]: 00:50:00
[b]Personal best[/b]: 00:36:34
[b]Console[/b]: PC
It's all about getting the hang of all the game mechanics, failing to do so will affect the time quite a bit, especially in autoscroller-y levels. It's my first speedrun game, I started learning this game just for ESA, and so far I've completed runs with lots of improvement to be done. But I'm loving it. It's a simple run to watch with little RNG manipulation thrown in. It's straight up running... with speed. Also if there are multiple submissions of this game, I'm willing to race.
http://www.twitch.tv/nikneim_/c/3666162 is my current PB.

2. [color="red"][b]Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time[/b][/color] - Any% (Finnish%?)
[b]Estimate[/b]: - 6:15:00, current WR is 5:57:10 by SerSanju
[b]Personal best[/b]: 6:05:34
[b]Console[/b]: PS3
Another game I also started to run for ESA. I love Sly games, and this is a fine addition to the series, bringing something new to the table while still staying true to the series roots. The game is basically the same as Sly 2 and 3, meaning that there are no major skips involved, cutscene skips are a thing though and there's lots of them to skip over, so many they make the game alot faster than a casual playthrough (about 4-5 hours faster, though there are smaller cutscenes you can't skip, so you can really feel and hear the Finnish% sweetness), but it basically comes down to doing the missions as perfectly as possible.
Due to ISP problems, the recording of my PB got split up to 2 parts:

1. Majora's Mask - 100% (Co-Op)
Estimate: 6:00:00
Personal best: 5:42:20 (Thiefbug), 5:39:29 (GoronGuy), 5:32:47 (Vpp), 5:18:08 (Ennopp)
Console: Wii VC
The Majora's Mask Any% race last year was a huge success even though Ennopp's game unfortunately crashed halfway through. The two guy one controller thing for the final battle gave us this really cool idea of doing a 4-player co-op run of 100%. Majora's Mask 100% has four different in-game cycles and all four of us (GoronGuy, Vpp, Thiefbug and Ennopp) are going so we thought it'd be a pretty interesting idea to do one game cycle each.
The only con I can see about Majora's Mask is the fact that first cycle is quite boring and long, This allows for a lot of explanations and donation reading however.

PB videos will be added later

2. Conker's Bad Fur Day - 100%
Estimate: 2:10:00
PB: 1:53:37
Console: N64
Conker's Bad Fur Day unfortunately doesn't have that big of an audience in the speedrunning community, It is however a great game in terms of speedrunning. The run will obviously feature cutscene skips but there are a couple of ones that would make great donation incentives and raise A LOT of money (One of them being the Great Mighty Poo!).
As said above the run will feature cutscene skips which will cut out most of the boring parts in the run.

PB video is unfortunately unavailable.

3. Star Fox 64: Lylat Wars - Red Line (Race vs Pottoww)

PB: 36:52 (GoronGuy), 35:31 (PottoWW)

I actually quite enjoyed Pottoww's Any% run of this run last year and I'd like to offer him a race this year.
The run is pretty much the same as the one in ESA 2013 except that you have to follow a specific pattern in-game

PB is unavailable since I actually got this time in the practice room at ESA last year happy

You can never run enough games

Twitch account: www.twitch.tv/mlstrm

1. Super Mario Galaxy - Any% Mario (Or Luigi)
Estimate: 3:10:00
Personal best: 2:58:05
Fastest known time: 2:39:29
Console: Wii (PAL)
Comment: A really good Mario Platformer, most levels have interesting tricks by abusing the gravity mechanics, or using spins and wall jumps to climb things you aren't meant to. This has been my main game for a while, and I am can now achieve sub-3 hour runs. Given the time before ESA, I'm confident I could have this at around 2:50 by then or even less. Using Mario instead of luigi makes the run slightly slower, due to luigi's ability to skip the introduction sequence (~5 minutes), however the movement in levels is fairly different between characters. I am possibly going to work on Any% Luigi soon, so then a bid war between Mario and Luigi could then be held for the run.

2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Any%
Estimate: 4:10:00
Personal Best: 4:03:44
Fastest known time: 3:22:43
Console: Wii (PAL)
Comment: Metroid Prime 3 is one of the least run Metroid games, and although there aren't really any major sequence breaks, it's still a pretty fun run to watch. The run involves a lot of corruption abuse to avoid taking damage and to take out enemies quickly, the boss strats are very fun to watch, and reduce the time taken on most of them to a fraction of what would normally been used. I have only done 2 runs of this so far, since I picked it up recently, although I am really enjoying this game as a run and the route has a lot of possibility. Currently I skip the Hazard Shield, which is the easiest item in the game to skip. It's also possible to skip other items with some out-of-bounds, and so I will be attempting to learn this and implement it into the run in the coming weeks/months, which would reduce the time considerably. Just as a note, the fastest known time only skips the hazard shield, so it's possible to approach that just with the current route. Also, a bid war between the 3 difficulties could be included, or just between Normal and Hypermode (the hardest). This changes some of the boss strats and general survival tactics.

3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Any% No Banktoad (Or Banktoad)
Estimate: 4:15:00
Personal best: 4:25:05
Fastest Known time: 3:23
Console: Wii (PAL)
Comment: Although my personal best is way over the estimate, I have only done 2 real runs of this category, and like Super Mario Galaxy, the run is really built on level strats, so my times will decrease rapidly once I learn some more significant tricks. This game is very similar to Galaxy 1, although it adds Yoshi into the game, which due to a trick called Infinite Flutter, really gives you the ability to break many levels significantly. The No Banktoad category means that there is no use of the banktoad to gain extra starbits, meaning that not all of the Hungry Luma stars that would have normally been selected can be used. Adding in banktoad would shorten the run by about 10 minutes based on my route, but I'm not entirely sure. Again, a bid war between using or not using banktoad could be included.

4. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger - Any%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Personal Best: 1:36:11
Fastest Known Time: 1:14
Console: GCN (PAL) (On Wii)
Comment: A collection platformer similar to Banjo Kazooie / Ratchet and Clank. The game involves 3 sections of 3 levels each, in each section a certain number of Thunder Eggs need to be collected to unlock that section's boss level. After clearing the 3 bosses then the final level opens leading to the final boss. I recently learnt the current WR route and my times are dropping pretty quickly. Possible donation incentives could include watching the cutscenes (They're pretty good and funny), or for a bonus cheat% run (Using in-game cheats to get the thunderang and then go straight to the end of the game)

1. Crash Bandicoot 100%
Estimate: 1:35:00
PB: 1:24:53 (www.twitch.tv/whipcpl/c/3661134 New PB as of yesterday. Still done on emu since I still haven't received my capture card yet.)
WR: 1:18:59
Console: NTSC-U PS2
Comment: It's crash bandicoot, the first in the series. I'm offering 100% over any% because I feel that it's the better watch since quite litterally you can not die at all in a speedrun. Much like crash 2 and 3, it has a "bugged" mechanic that allows you to initially move faster than intended and the run has 2 skips early on in the beginning, otherwise there isn't much aside from a few tricks that makes certain levels a little faster. 100% should be more interesting since as I've heard several times, people have either never beaten the game 100% or they didn't manage to do it after a very long time, so seeing this game being brought to it's knees may make some people feel revenge over the game.

2. MediEvil Max% (glitchless)
Estimate 1:55:00
PB: 1:48:23 (www.twitch.tv/whipcpl/c/3672446 New PB and has better sound.)
WR: 1:43:52
Console: NTSC-U PS2
Comment: MediEvil is a game that I'm sure a lot of people remember even though they might not even have played the game. The max% category aims towards getting every collectible in the game. This category doesn't have any major skips or sequence breaks, however what makes your game fast is due to really clever movement. There is one weapon that we use in the game that might come as a "shock" to some people. I figure this is a good run to show off since it hasn't been done before and could get hyped up quite a bit.

3. A Bug's Life Any% (Incentive for 3 secret levels)
Estimate: 40:00
PB: 33:23 (www.twitch.tv/whipcpl/c/3546269 Doesn't use a lot of the skips so it will get much lower, and likely the estimate will reduce by 5 minutes)
WR: 21:46
Console: NTSC-U PS2
Comment: You can't have strong muscular gods without tiny little ants throwing berries. There are major differences between the N64 version and psx version of the game. The N64 has exclusive glitches which makes the game a couple of minutes faster. However the psx version is not without it's tricks to show off. There will pretty much be a skip/trick in about 10/15 levels which is based on using the games design in a really clever way that you wouldn't originally think about using. The game seems to have a big nostalgia feel and I think a lot of the tricks will come as a surprise.

4. Fallout: New Vegas Any% Hard mode (Incentive for naming character)
Estimate: 45:00
PB: 43:44 (No video available)
WR: 35-ish.
Console: PC
Comment: Fallout: New Vegas is the succesor to Fallout 3 and it basically did everything that fallout 3 should've done in the first place. The game however suffers from the same issue as skyrim. If you haven't played the game before, you probably won't find it interesting to watch. Aside from that I don't even use the fastest route which makes me lose a couple of minutes already. The runs themselves however are pretty consistent so there shouldn't be any issues at all (also I played this on a really slow pc). The game has a few tricks that might come as a surprise. If there is an interest in getting this game then I'm willing to use the fastest route.

Metroid: Zero Mission - 100% (possible race with Dragonfangs)
Estimate: 1:25:00
Personal best: 1:14:16
Console: Gamecube / Game Boy Player
While it usually lives in the shadow of its big brother super metroid, zero mission is an excellent speedgame in its own right. I would strongly suggest 100% over any%, since it has more cool tricks and is less dependent on luck while still not being very long. This category has not been seen at a major marathon since AGDQ 2012, and it has changed significantly since then, with cleanup completely rerouted and lots of strats previously thought to be too difficult incorporated into the run. Not only would a race be hype, but dragonfangs is uniquely qualified to commentate the run, since he created the recent 100% TAS (which was voted as TASvideos.org's GBA TAS of the year).

A semi-terrible platformer with bosses that just about rival the stupidity of an average Mario Party minigame. Luckily there's a warp that skips just about all of that and sends you straight to the last three levels, which are then done extremely fast, leading up to an extremely anticlimactic finale with some musical whack a mole.

1. The Legend of Zelda, Majoras Mask - Any%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Personal best: 1:43:22
Console: Wii Virtual Console
Watching Majoras Mask is extremely entertaining for the newcommer for this category - especially with the new glitch, which was found in early january this year.
This glitch lets you use Song of Soaring to Owl statues which you didn't visit before, making it possible to complete the game even faster.
I didn't have much time since january tho, which is why my current PB is still 7 months old and does not use that glitch.
Until ESA, I can guarantee to have a PB which has a time below 1:35:00

2. The Legend of Zelda, Majoras Mask - 100% Co-op
Estimate: 6:00:00
Personal best: 5:18:08 (Ennopp112) / 5:35:27 (VPP__) / 5:39:29 (GoronGuy) / 5:42:20 (thiefbug)
Console: Wii Virtual Console
We decided to submit Majoras Mask 100% as a coop category, since there are 4 of us which are attending this year.
we're gonna split the whole run, so everyone of us plays for a while until switching the player.
Majora's Mask 100% keeps the gameplay at a speed which is enjoyable for the viewer all through the run, especially during the temples in which it is required to collect all straight fairies, compasses and maps to get everything.
It is extremely entertaining to watch - but also there are a few random factors in the game which we have to deal with.
fortunately, none of them can end the run.

1. [b][color="red"]The Legend of Zelda, Majoras Mask[/color][/b] - Any%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Personal best: 1:43:22
Console: Wii Virtual Console
Watching Majoras Mask is extremely entertaining for the newcommer for this category - especially with the new glitch, which was found in early january this year.
This glitch lets you use Song of Soaring to Owl statues which you didn't visit before, making it possible to complete the game even faster.
I didn't have much time since january tho, which is why my current PB is still 7 months old and does not use that glitch.
Until ESA, I can guarantee to have a PB which has a time below 1:35:00

2. [b][color="red"]The Legend of Zelda, Majoras Mask[/color][/b] - 100% Co-op
Estimate: 6:00:00
Personal best: 5:18:08 (Ennopp112) / 5:35:27 (VPP__) / 5:39:29 (GoronGuy) / 5:42:20 (thiefbug)
Console: Wii Virtual Console
We decided to submit Majoras Mask 100% as a coop category, since there are 4 of us which are attending this year.
we're gonna split the whole run, so everyone of us plays for a while until switching the player.
Majora's Mask 100% keeps the gameplay at a speed which is enjoyable for the viewer all through the run, especially during the temples in which it is required to collect all straight fairies, compasses and maps to get everything.
It is extremely entertaining to watch - but also there are a few random factors in the game which we have to deal with. 
fortunately, none of them can end the run.

1. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 - 100%
Estimate: 15:00
Personal best: 10:24
Console: Nintendo 64
Info: here's the video of my best run so far
I have been playing this game ever since it came out and pretty much kept it playing occasionally untill i picked it up more serious about a year ago to speedrun it. The 100% goal for this game is to do all the 30 tapes challenges and win the 3 competitions with a gold medal. Allot of levels have hard / entertaining skips to show & there are some interesting dynamics behind keeping your skater go full spead and reach scores etc.. My pb is not world record but i will most likely get a sub 10 minute run very soon. Also i know allot of fun facts about the game like version comparisons vs ps 1 etc.

2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - 100%
Estimate: 1:10:00
Personal best: 1:07:14
Console: Nintendo 64
Info: twitch vod: http://www.twitch.tv/coombs68/c/3407858
Same story as with thps 1, allthought this one is a bit longer. But my run isn't really optimised yet but i will start working on that really soon aswell.

3. Tony Hawk's Underground 1 - Any%
Estimate: 1:15:00
Personal best: 1:19:23
Console: Playstation 2
Info: twitch vod: http://www.twitch.tv/coombs68/c/3479143 This is my newest Tony Hawk game i started learning, it has allot more elements to it then the older ones, more of a story & the gameplay also evolved with more manuals / reverts & transfers to make longer combo's easyer. My PB is nothing to special yet, but once i get my ps 2 repaired i will pushing for a good pb here also.

WOW.

I can actually come this time :). http://twitch.tv/chrnothesinner.

1. Shadow Tower- any%
Estimate: 1:10:00
Personal Best: 1:20:44 (emu) (WR 1:04:44)
Console: PS1
Shadow Tower is a splendidly dark RPG by From Software, the same people who made Dark Souls and the King's Field series. Any time I say I am going to run this game, I always get people interested in the run and asking me about it due to the game's surrealist and cult nature. For the moment I have started to run it on emulator, but if I get the chance to run it at ESA I am willing to modify my PS2 and buy a Japanese or American version of the game just to bring to the marathon because I really love this game.

2. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos - any%
Estimate: 1:00:00
Personal best: 46:11 (WR: around 43:xx)
Console: PC/PS1
This needs to be in a marathon one day, and with the current surge popularity in PS1 platformers, I think this would be a really nice choice for the marathon and would be a good fit into a platformer block. I will probably run it on PC, if I can get the music to work that is. If not, I have a PS1 copy too.

3. Disney Extreme Skate Adventure - any%
Estimate: 00:20:00
Personal best: 17:56 (WR)
Console: PS2
Whenever I do this for an online marathon people get hyped as hell and I think it needs an introduction into the live marathon spectrum; it's a really fun watch and I could do a lot with it in terms of chat interaction.

4. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 - any% normal
Estimate: 00:20:00
Personal best: 13:56 (WR)
Console: PC
I will most likely be retiring this game around the time of ESA anyway, so I only really want to do this run if it's a race (Pyatters?) as the general any% has been done at the last AGDQs and I want to shake things up a bit.

Second Stream:

1. Audiosurf
As it turns out I'm a pretty good Audiosurf player: I've won one or two online competitions and due to the fact that you can choose any song to play you could possibly do donation challenges for song choices. For anyone interested - I play Mono with Ironmode. I just bought Audiosurf 2 as well, but I need to try it out first as it is still early access.

I'm really hyped for ESA this year, can't wait to meet everyone!

1. Crash Bash - Any% Co-Op with OverwhelmedPie
Estimate: 2:30:00
Personal best: 2:17:32 (Single Player)
Console: PS1, can also be played on PS2 -- whatever region you want
Very nostalgic for most PS1 fans and also very fun to play. PetethePlayer is a backup in case one of us can't attend. The only con is that there are a few auto scrollers.

2. Crash Team Racing - Any% Race with OverwhelmedPie
Estimate: 1:05:00
Personal Best: 55:22
Console: PS1, can also be played on PS2 - PAL
Since last year's race there has been a few more cool skips found which will be used. Still a very nostalgic run

3. Crash Nitro Kart - Any%
Estimate: 1:15:00
Personal Best: 1:06:31 (WR)
Console PS2 - PAL
Although this is my best game I don't mind too much about this being accepted. Possible race with PetethePlayer. The main con is the length of the loading screens on PS2.

Donation Incentive: Whole hub 3 skip with blackout boss race
(Link to the skip with description: http://www.twitch.tv/pwulla/c/2580018)
