My feelings on The Demon Rush
Okay, we really need to get this organized fast, because January will pop up before we know it.

The Logistics
MAGFest is the best place for this event because we'll have a lot of SDA members there.
Brendan (the guy who runs MAGFest) bought us a connection with 7mbit down and 1.5 mbit up, which should be plenty for our stream.
If you're having trouble imagining what this event will be like, think of it like a Speed Gamers event.
Charities
Our charity is CARE. They support a good cause (educating women, and disaster aid) and they have been responsive to my calls so far.
The games we are playing
Update October 22nd: Our games list is nearly final, if you want to see the few games we might want to add, look at the bottom of this section.
If you want to look at the latest version of the schedule, check this google spreadsheet below.

If you would rather have an excel spreadsheet, check the bottom of this post for an attached spreadsheet.
The focus now is old-school 8-bit and 16-bit games, meaning NES, Genesis, and SNES. Sorry Turbografx-16, not even Johnny Turbo can save you.
I made a couple of of execptions, but they're mostly popular and don't look out of place because they're 2d.
We have a lot of games already, so these are the only games left we should really try to run. I can't think of anything else we should really run at this point. Yes, this means the game list is finalized.
Castlevania 3
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
maybe Kirby's Adventure and/or Kirby's Super Star
Commentators
We need people willing to do commentary during MAGFest. As a commentator, you should know a little bit about the games being run, the history (both on the game, and the speedrunning), tricks/glitches, routes, and any little factoids you know. Obviously, you can't comment solely about each game forever, so you should probably make an effort to be entertaining too. (Internet memes don't count as entertainment)
Seriously, if I see you resorting to internet memes, I will behead you.
mikwuyma (obviously ;))
Emptyeye (said he's willing to do it for some NES games)
xXikuto (I think if someone babysits him he'll be okay :P)
Frezy_Man (no one can resist that Swedish accent)
Enhasa
MatrixTN
romscout
Breakdown
Special Events during the Marathon
Every marathon is more exciting when you have some special events to go along with the marathon. The speed gamers do lots of things to keep viewers motivated such as giving away prizes.
Events we are definitely doing
-Pianotoads - Kareshi is going to play piano alongside Emptyeye's and DJ Mike Haggar's Battletoads race.
-Speedrun races
-Runner interviews
Events we could (and probably should) do
-Prizes for big donators such as classic consoles and games (other related stuff too)
-Get swag to give away.
-Guest Commentators (AVGN, The Speed Gamers if they come)
