Don't know what to speedrun :(
Is that image from Hyperbole and a Half?

NOTE: The times listed are in EST! On site we will be on MST, which is 2 hours earlier/ahead of EST.
EDT, MDT. Yeah, I had to be that guy

Don't know what to speedrun :(
Hey Mike. It might not hurt to add 10 minutes to my Gears Estimate if there's time in the schedule. If it's a hassle or there isn't room don't worry about it but it seems that 2 hours is a pretty decent SS time and unless I get a lot more consistent going over that by as much as 10 minutes might happen.
I should be able to save at least that much time on my Muramasa estimate so I think overall I'm good so long as Marathon Luck doesn't beat me too hard but I'd like to not be worried about my run being Mercy Killed if I can avoid it

So I mentioned this in the practice thread, but I think Aquaria's estimate can be lowered to 2 hours now, I did a practice run at about 1:45 and I figure the extra 15 minutes could cover setup, possible bad/marathon luck, and maybe the possibility of playing cutscenes for donation incentives. Maybe 2:10:00 actually. But that's up to Mike.

Reaif unfortunately can't run alttp anymore, but for a good reason, he got a promotion at his job. I switched Minish Cap to where alttp was to adjust for the schedule. Raen, I'll let you play the game as long as if you give regular updates in the practice thread.
Oh yeah, I removed Die Hard from the schedule, sorry neskamikaze.

I have to be taken entirely off the schedule. Due to health and monetary issues I'm being shipped back home to Missouri; in other words, I won't be around in Utah for the marathon anymore, as I can't afford the flight.
I feel like a jerk pulling out this late, but I'm not really being given a choice at this point :\

difficult and stupidly random
So i noticed that the Rygar race got moved forward by several hours. I am concerned about this, since i'm running Zelda 2 the night before and I will definitely not be able to just pass out as soon as it's over, which is what would need to happen for early-morning-Rygar to work out. (And given that Darkwing is going to lose time commuting, i'm assuming he'll be in somewhat the same situation after his Zelda1 run, even if he decides not to stick around and commentate on Zelda2)
As a possible alternative, can i suggest simply doing the Rygar race right after the Zelda 1 / Zelda 2 block? DW and I will already be there and at least one of the NESes will already be set up. In all likelihood, both Z1 and Z2 are going to come in well under their estimates -- between those two I expect we'll end up saving at least 20 minutes (which is almost the length of a Rygar run anyway) so, in practice, the games that follow Z2 would probably end up happening at the time they're currently scheduled for anyway.
Just a suggestion. I'm open to other alternatives as well, so just let me know. Thanks in advance for considering it.

Yeah Feasel, I'm aware that cutting alttp and Minish Cap really screwed up the Monday schedule. Even if I do find a way to fix the schedule otherwise, I like the idea of Rygar right after Z1 and Z2 since it's almost like a Zelda runner faceoff.
Raen: I'm sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can come to a future marathon.

Sorry to do this but I'm going to have to drop out for this marathon. My summer work plans haven't materialized as hoped and if they do happen I may not know for a couple of weeks. Holding off from payment and travel plans on everyone would be unfair. I apologize to everyone whose schedule I've screwed up and I will try my best to make it to AGDQ '13. As for the prizes I said I would provide, I will mail those out once the last one arrives at my house. Best of luck to everyone running and attending.

Sorry to hear about that, Skullboy, hopefully you can come to a future marathon.
Schedule changes:
-Final Fantasy VIII parts 1 and 2 are adjusted to Poxnor's estimates
-Skullboy's games dropped from the schedule.
-Typing of the Dead added to Friday night (someone tell PEACHES_ because I know he doesn't check the forums often)
I know UA's brother wanted to run Cool Spot, so I'll probably add that in the near future. If anyone has a last-minute game to add, speak up now.
