Twitch/Contact Info: twitch.tv/Backflip9
Availability: Varying with different runners in different timezones, but after 6 PM PDT would probably work
Game: Halo: Reach
Category: Easy 4 Player Qwit (with Halodude862, Pedrogas, Haolecake, subject to change)
Estimate: 1:25
Description: This is a 4 Player Co-op category that we call "qwit" because two players quit the game at the end of the 6th level to save time with 2-player specific spawns later in the game. This category has lots of 4-player specific tricks, and the numerous holdout fights in this game go much faster. There's a lot to talk about as well since there's so much going on, so I'm excited to run this in a marathon!

Game: Jet Set Radio Future

Category: Any%

Estimate: 2:06

Description/Other Info: JSRF is a pretty cool game set in a future where an evil dictator tries to take over the world and the teens of Japan have to rebel by spraying tanks and jets with graffiti. I consider it a shooter because the police captain Hayashi has a gun and tries to shoot you with it on multiple occasions. Really hoping this gets in.

If we're allowed to submit multiple games, here's my second submission:

Game: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (Xbox)

Category: Any%

Estimate: 3:10

Description/Other Info: Chamber of Secrets is a very fun game that is exciting to both play and watch, as there are many aspects that make it a fast paced game to speedrun. Such as the amazing combat, fantastic platforming, and it even has a few skips. I consider this a shooter because you're basically shooting spells out of your wand quite regularly throughout the game. Thank you for considering me for this marathon.

Game: Crysis
Category: any%
Estimate: 00:50:00
Description/Other Info: Soaring through the skies like a ROFLCOPTER going SOI SOI SOI thanks to a neat trick called circle jumping. That way I can literally fly to the end or critical objectives in most missions. Since landing can be quite difficult and because of cool strats along the way this is a lot less boring than it sounds. Also, shooting people and throwing boxes in their faces.
