My feelings on The Demon Rush
Now that the charity has been settled on (Organization for Autism Research), the big thing right now is scheduling the games.
As far as I know, the marathon is going to be roughly 60 hours. Essentia plans on starting the marathon at Thursday August 4th at noon, and ending it around Saturday/Sunday around midnightish. [strike]I don't have a schedule drafted yet, all I have is a list of games that can be in the marathon. I don't want to start scheduling until the game list is a bit more finalized.[/strike]
The Schedule
NOTE: Time is in the mountain time zone, not eastern!
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Alb3Dj0u13H7dENuRWh2R1VPYmFNV042bnVZUUFXcFE&hl=en
I know this schedule isn't perfect, and it is subject to change. The columns are formatted so it can be easily converted to an auto-updating schedule like in AGDQ and JRDQ.
-The biggest problem is that the PC games are in a crap time slot, but I'm not too sure what to do about that..
-If we're ahead of time, then the setup hour can be either be deleted or used as a bonus hour, I don't care either way.
Before the schedule was made.

A couple of notes:
-The games are listed in alphabetical order.
-I listed almost every game people offered to run for the marathon, but there's a couple I omitted. I omitted said games for one of two reasons. The run wouldn't have been fast enough because it has been done significantly faster during another marathon or otherwise, or the game was too obscure or boring for a marathon.
-I'm aware the list is a bit long at the moment. I'll probably end up cutting a game or two unless...
...we don't play both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Instead, we have a bidding war for which KH game to play. The problem with this is if KH2 is chosen, then we'll need something (either side-quest content or another game) to fill in about an hour and a half.
-I made many estimates longer than people people listed in case if something goes wrong in-game and to account for setup time.
