Speed Gaming for Sick Kids

2014-05-19 05:32:39 pm

Hello all! Here is the first draft of the schedule for this marathon. Just a few people didn't get back to us on schedule limitations so if your game is somewhere were you can't run, please let either me or LP3Tristan know so we can move some things around. Its a pretty solid schedule, set to happen on August 22nd-25th.

On the google form, the schedule is under the "Schedule Draft" tab. Lastly, if anyone has any donation incentives that you would like to pitch, do so in this thread. Try to stray away from incentives that increase estimate, although a small amount of time increase could be fine.

More to come on how restreaming etc. will work. Thanks a lot everyone! Lets make this happen. Hype!

This is looking great! Quick question, however. I note that there are some commentators on some the runs. Are those needed?
I'll be honest, I'm very poor at talking and playing at the same time, especially the Hot Wheels Turbo Racing run. Shoud we try to find people who can chip in? I'd be more than willing to write out a skip of needed points to give to anyone to read on certain cues that could call in on Skype.

Honestly I'm fine with people chipping in if needed. The only issue would be logistics. TeamSpeak or Mumble would be the easiest way to make that doable. If LP3Tristan is okay with it, I'm all for it.

Well in Nihilumbra Donation Incentive could be a language select.
If You Are Empty would've stayed there, I could've visited all NPC's as Incentive, but since it is cut - It doesn't matter anymore)

Well, I haven't calculated entirely when those times are for me but should work. Also, my nick should be written as KennyMan666, 616 is just what my Twitch is called because for reasons I can't understand kennyman666 was taken when I signed up there and 616 is my primary alt.

And I appreciate getting to kick off the Mega Man block with ponies. Cheesy

Scott Pilgrim can have character colour as a donation war, which is best just called "Ramona's hair" with the options of teal, pink, dark blue and brown.

It's sad when I'm the only pokémon runner in the marathon, still though my times work out very well and I'll do my best to get under my estimates.

So news just came in from Sick Kids Hospital. I was on the phone with them and they gave me a link to create a webpage for donations which comes with a tracker and such. But the bad news is since its for a Kids Hospital they would like games including blood and extreme violence to be removed more then likely if you're game has no blood it will be good but if the graphics for the violence is equivalent to blood it will be removed it is not our choice just don't want people to be alarmed if there game is suddenly gone. Check back at the schedule in the next couple of days to check if you're availability is still good

Read above I stated that Sick Kids Hospital gave me a call to remove any bloody or excessively violent games from the list

That's "Mr." Speedrunner, to you

My Bastion run is on there, but not the Fallout 3 run. Were there some cut games? It's fine with me if there are, I just can't tell if you forgot some games or cut them intentionally.

You're runs made the "initial" cut but i was asked by sick kids hospital to remove any that were excessively bloody/ violent thats why fallout 3 is out i wish it could stay honestly

It was cut because I told them to save the rats
