I wanted to participate in this, but due to personal circumstances both in and out of my control, I'm retiring from speedrunning for the foreseeable future. My sincerest apologies to Svenne and everyone else involved.
hehe, I hope he will! Btw, I am searching through all the dates and trying to find a reasonble date for this, if you have any ideas and would save me some time, I would love it!
Yeah, maybe Late March? And I agree that not having a charity is probably for the best, both because of the short length of the marathon, and that way there's less chance of "charity/marathon burnout", which is apparently a real thing.
I just got my 3ds back today. I don't know if I can participate in this, though. I just don't have any time to practice. studystudystudy I'll let you know as soon as possible, but you should plan on me not being able to participate for now.
So... I finished my segmented run last night. I played ALL day. lol -4:33 @ 1:18:24! I'll start practicing single segment! I can probably participate. Just depends my exams are, so I'll let you know after you set a date (so you don't set it around my schedule, haha, too many runners to try to fit everyone's schedules). ^_^
Svenne, how about an update on the dates? We should really finalize the date ASAP; I'm mostly fine with end of march
Quote from JaggerG:
FYI TheSpeedGamers Indie marathon is March 21-24.
I have been looking around. I have some suggestions but the ESA planning stuff started way earlier then expected! I still have to talk with all the runners to get them onboard for the dates we go with etc. I am considering moving this to like after July if not anyone els could be able to stream it for me. Then perhaps I can get more people involved with hosting this marathon and we can get some buzz going! Build up interest around the community etc.
The dates for TSG's marathon have apparently become unfinalized for some reason. I think it might change to April some time. I'm gonna update you as soon as I can confirm the actual dates again. ;>_>
Also if you can't find any other Metroid 1 runners, I used to casually run it. I can see if I can get a decent consistent time for any% or other categories. Maybe DD and I can race any% or something if our estimates are close enough?

I'd rather do 2 boss any% since it's much less random. Though whether I pick it up or not depends on how much (and which) of my games get through for SGDQ.
Svenne, any new about the date? If not, I can probably take over or something, contact runners, and figure out a date for everyone and get the first post more organized. March should work fine, and it's not like this'll last for much longer than a day.
Hey, sure if you can find a date most runners can go on, that would be awesome! I am one of the co-organizer of the charity event ESA butsome of my time opened up now when we pushed forward the game suggestion dates to march!
