Twitch/Contact Info: http://www.twitch.tv/jangbang__
Availability: Anytime other than 10:00 - 18:00 CEST on the 12th
Game: Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Category: Story hard/100%
Estimate: 1:40:00/7:30:00
Description/Other Info: Story mode of the game on hard. Hard is the hardest difficulty meaning the enemies fire more often, deal more damage, have more health, and hit more often. This run is all killing enemies fast or skipping them completely, with a few fun tricks/glitches as well. In 100% I have to beat the story on hard, and get at least a gold medal in all arcade leagues and challenges. The 100% estimate is a bit generous but you never know.

Game: Timesplitters 2
Category: any% easy
Estimate: 40:00
Description/Other Info: Not so much like Future Perfect in the sense that every level is 1 - 4 minutes long due to the easy difficulty, and there's more running and less killing. When you play on any difficulty besides easy the levels are a lot bigger which is why easy is good for speedrunning. It looks a bit like a good goldeneye would, and no there's no looking at the ground.

Game: Timesplitters
Category: All levels easy
Estimate: 20:00
Description/Other Info: Got a new disc and it works perfectly. Going fast, skipping enemies, and then killing them on the way back.

Twitch info: www.twitch.tv/bystandertimgames
Availability: Friday after 7pm, All day Saturday
Game: Tomb Raider 2013 (PC)
Estimate: 1:50:00

Description: This game is BUSTED. Abusing jumps out of cutscene reloads, various door clipping methods, huge out of bounds, and a pc exclusive trick known as skywalking (being slingshotted by out of bounds), Making Lara fly. The PC version is honestly the definitive run, including a skip that not only saves 20 minutes over any other platform, but skips a large portion of the game by using various skywalks in succession (looks extrememly cool!). I am willing to possibly have a showcase of some of the pc exclusive tricks if you accept the X360 run.

Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/suicidemachine
Availability: Monday to Thursday (although if we're lucky, it will be a weekend as well). 10:00am-23:00am ((UTC+1) I don't want to make noise during night)

Game: Deus Ex Invisible War
Category: Any% (Realistic)
Estimate: 0:50 (should be way less, but it's DXIW, so it may just happen, I'll loose like 5 minutes of a progress)
Description: 25% of the run is loading times, it has a tendency to softlock and crash.

Availability: CET Thursday between 6 PM and midnight. Friday after 6 PM and the rest of the weekend whenever.

Game: Dying Light
Category: Any%
Estimate: 2:15:00
Description/Other Info: Zombie Parkour Shooter with some interesting glitches. By duplicating items I get max level very early in the run and get access to the grappling hook. This makes movement faster and more interesting. The run also includes some out of bounds sequences and clipping through walls. There's multiple parts in the run where you shoot zombies and enemies. This is a game that hasn't been featured at many marathons and I think people would enjoy the run.

Availability: 10pm and later weeknight central time

Game: Halo 3 ODST
Category: Easy NG+/Legendary NG+
Estimate: 1:20:30/1:36:30

Game: Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (Xbox Version)
Category: Easy
Estimate: 2:55:00
Description/Other Info: A lot of shooting, also some Out of Bounds strats. Very heavy on shooting throughout the game along with unskippable cutscenes through much of the game. Plenty of shortcuts as well.

Availability: 4PM-2AM EST, any day

Game: DeadCore
Category: Any% (no megajump, no wallclip) / 100%
Estimate: 25:00 / 30:00
Description/Other Info: It's a platformer with a gun. Any% without megajumps is the most played category, and most closely resembles a normal playthrough of the game. Megajumping is a 1-frame trick that breaks most levels, but any% with megajumps is not marathon safe (you have to succeed several megajumps consecutively, missing one will lose 10-30 seconds and reset the sequence). 100% involves picking up all the collectibles and allows megajumps, and is marathon safe as the route doesn't chain megajumps together.

Game: Lovely Planet
Category: All levels
Estimate: 25:00
Description/Other Info: The run has only changed slightly since SGDQ. Submitting in case you want more loveliness.

FingerQuick

2015-09-28 04:30:53 am

Twitch/Contact Info: http://www.twitch.tv/fingerquick
Availability: Weekdays after 9pm EST, any time on weekends.

Game: Crackdown
Category: All Bosses NG+
Estimate: 40:00
Description/Other Info: NG+ is significantly faster than NG. This makes the run easier by having all supply points and guns unlocked at the start of the game making the only goal to find each boss and kill them ASAP. (Run shown isn't mine but the route is fairly easy to learn. Estimate is generous)

Game: Crackdown 2
Category: Co-op Any% NG+
Estimate: 1:00:00
Description/Other Info: Co-op cuts the time of this game down by about half when done with 4 players, estimate is one hour to keep it generous if only 2 runners are around to do the run. We have about eight runners though so it shouldn't be an issue.

Availability: Anytime except the 12th of November

Game: Half-Life
Category: any% (hard/no scripts)
Estimate: 55:00
Description/Other Info: Half-Life should be a well known game, but the speedrun completely rips it apart. Glitches, Out of Bounds stuff, fast movement with bunnyhopping and no cutscenes or downtime (except for 2 minutes at the very beginning) at all make this a very interesting run to watch, even (or maybe especially) for people who have not seen the speedrun yet.
Video: Sadly my PB got deleted, when Twitch started to mess around with the Video player for some reason. I will be running this game during the next weeks though, so I hopefully can get another video up, which I can then post here.

Additional Info: I am still kind of in the learning process of this game, so if there happens to be another (and better) runner for this game, feel free to pass on my slot. Otherwise I would be happy to showcase this amazing speedrun.

Game: Halo 2
Category: Easy / Legendary
Estimate: 1:30:00 / 2:00:00
Description/Other Info:

Legendary: The run highlights a variety of tricks including skipping parts of levels, a couple OoBs, and the Halo 2 exclusive tricks of sword flying and cancelling alongside optimized combat in what many consider to be the hardest Halo game in the series.

Easy: Like Legendary, the run consists mostly of using sword tricks and other various exploits to complete the game as fast as possible. This category has a very minimal chance of death in comparison, so as a result it is much faster and more consistent.

Savusukka is making me submit this for some chance of a Halo block since it's the last day of submissions. I'll have exams all week so I'll only be able to do a run on the weekend. Since people are posting videos of PBs/run showcases, I can link them if required. Both of these are record for their respective categories.

Estimate: 0:55:00

Category: Any%
Estimate: 1:10:00
Description/Other Info: Standalone DLC prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order that is even more broken. Crouching through walls, wrong warping into space and swimming in void space is just another day in the life of B.J. Blazkowicz.
