Pew pew pew.

Game: Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Category: Any% NG+
Estimate: 1:22:00
Misc Info: Cool historically-accurate arcade shooter that has optimized avoiding the plot as much as possible, as well as murdering everyone that tries to preserve the plot. Also has "Call of" in the name so it may trick CoD kids to watch.

Pudding%

Game: Legend of Grimrock
Category: 100%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Misc Info: Similar to the old Dungeon Master games from the 80s/90s. 100% includes finding all secrets, all treasures, all Toorum notes, and opening every Iron Door. Run is relatively safe with the party build I use. ~~Note: I had to replace my graphics card not too long ago, and the new one is a bit worse than my old one. Need to test streaming it to be sure it can still handle it. Will get back to you.~~ Was able to stream it fine.

Game: Crystalis (NES)
Category: Any% No Wild Warp
Estimate: 1:10:00
Misc Info: Cult classic that doesn't get enough love. A bit of mandatory grinding here and there, but the route's been optimized to the point where none of the grind sessions are exceptionally long. Very little downtime throughout the run either. So long as it's scheduled on a weekend (during the day), or on a weekday evening (PST) I can almost guarantee commentary as well.

Game: Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Category: Any% Hector
Estimate: 2:45:00
Misc Info: Probably the most RPG-like Castlevania, complete with a ~~Pokemon~~ Innocent Devil that is semi-controllable. Boss fights are hectic, and tactics vary based on what equipment is available.

umad

Game: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U)
Category: Any%
Estimate 4:00:00
Misc Info: This is a tentative submission, as I haven't actually played the HD version yet, but I was a top runner of the GameCube version in late 2011 and early 2012, and the HD version is very similar to the GameCube route from back then (except easier and with 1 extra dungeon). As such, the main preparation I will need will be to refresh my memory and get used to the slightly different controller. The HD version is significantly less broken than the GameCube version, it shows off way more of the game than the current GC any% does, and is much more fun and interesting in my opinion. It also has not been seen in a marathon yet (for obvious reasons, since it just came out 2 months ago).
Availability: I am most readily available on Sundays between about 10AM and 5PM, although I can go a bit earlier or later if need be. Depending on my living circumstances by then, I may also be able to run on weekdays as well between about 2PM and 7PM.

Projected Availability: 21st - 29th. 9AM EST - 6PM EST
------------------------------------------

Game: Lifeline
Category: Any%
Estimate: 3:00:00
Misc Info: This is a voice-controlled survival horror game in space. Essentially Hey You! Pikachu and Resident Evil had a baby. It's as hilariously all over the place as you think, but saves are frequent and it's marathon safe due to that.

HerculesBenchpress

2016-05-19 06:22:08 pm

Game: Metroid Fusion
Category: 0%
Estimate: 2:00:00 (just to be safe)
Info: A new skip was found a few months ago after submissions for SGDQ closed. It allows up to skip Bob "The unskippable missile tank" that made 0% nearly impossible except for several frame perfect jumps across 7 frames of error. Now it is a frame perfect trick and makes it much more marathon friendly. Still a very skill based and tough run though going through with the bare minimum.

Video: Part 1: https://www.twitch.tv/herculesbenchpress/v/57293812
Part 2: https://www.twitch.tv/herculesbenchpress/v/57294081

Game: Herc's Adevntures

Game: Skullmonkeys
Category: Any%/Cutscene%
Estimate: 1:30:00/2:00:00
Misc Info: A 2D platformer for the PSX from the mind behind Earthworm Jim, Skullmonkeys is the second game in The Neverhood family. The game has a steep difficulty curve, with many tight jumps and one-shot death mechanics. Aesthetically, the game is a game with claymation graphics and easily one of the best soundtracks the PSX has to offer!
Projected Availability: I can be available on any day except for Wednesday or Friday, at any time.

One hand is enough.

Game: Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
Category: Any% Insane difficulty (one handed)
Estimate: 35:00

Projected availability: 7am - 10am and 11pm - 2am EST on weekdays, any time on the weekend

https://www.twitch.tv/halfcoordinated/v/62435616 - somewhat old run, actual PB is from a race done for superdogthon and isn't the best VoD

Game: Wonderboy V: Monster World III
Category: Any%
Estimate: 1:05:00
Misc Info: Since we didn't have it last time, might as well. Japanese Version is a little faster, also the last boss is not a major pain in the butt. I'm not as good as Stonhedge therefore higher estimate.

Game: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut
Category: Any%
Estimate: 25:00
Misc Info: Nice little Jump n' Run that I wanted to learn for quite a bit. An OoB-Glitch in this category let's you skip a huge part of the game. (estimate veeeeery generous, will probably drop a few minutes, just being safe)

Game: Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
Category: Any% glitchless
Estimate: 4:00:00
Misc Info: Do I think we need a Lufia 2 run every Scrubathon? Probably not. Do I like playing games with steproute in marathon settings? Probably not. But somehow my submission would seem a little naked without it, dunno. Old habits die hard.

Availability: Should be whenever, I might have to do a presentation around this time, but I don't know the exact date yet. Will most likely be earlier though.
