Summer Marathon Scheduling

2011-06-06 12:14:58 pm

For my Quake2 run I would be willing to have some sort of bidding cap to reach to make me play on Hard instead of Easy. Hard would take about 5 minutes longer to complete than Easy.

Yeah...that image should be destroyed twice. Sad

Mike, my current work schedule has me working nights, so my Friday games, EVO and Tetris Attack, are not doable for me at that current time. I'm getting a bit old to make the transition to being awake during that time so fast. Startropics and EVO are fine, however.

Switch with seawolf (so you'd be playing from like 1:20 am til 2:30ish)? Or do you mean evenings and not overnight shifts? If so, I guess your games could go before the CV block, and even though I think that sucks I know that the CV series isn't the most popular and fits fine into graveyard shifts (it's already creeping into that section anyway).

I generally sleep from around 4 A.M. to noon or so.

Oh, ok. Yea, then switching with seawolf would be an easy fit.

Its a two hour difference from here on the East Coast, but it shouldn't be a problem for me. If I can't wake up at 5 AM, I shouldn't be going for a degree in education right? I really wanted to watch EVO too...ah well, rookie sacrifices must be made!

That image should be made into hd quality twice. Cheesy

Schedule changed to accomodate DW. I changed EVO and Tetris Attack, but I didn't change Startropics and EVO. Wink

Leftward punch go!

With the riding portions of Shadow of the Colossus being cut out, and after working on it some more, I think the time estimate on it can comfortably be cut down to 1 hour.

Just ran a pretty crappy Demon's Crest, with a few deaths and route referencing, took about 55 minutes. Things are looking up timewise Grin

Quote from Mecha Richter:

I noticed VVVVVV and I thought of a good donation suggestion, assuming Tranquilite has some experience with it, and that's donation bids for Flip Mode, where the entire game is flipped upside-down.

I'll do some practicing and get back to you on this.

Semi-disappointing to say this but I'm probably not coming to the marathon now due to stupid stuff, so yeah take my games off the schedule. Sorry :[

Wow, that's terrible Ani. Is there really no chance you can come?

Ani's games take up a 4-hour block that now needs to be filled (maybe not four hours, but at least three), or else the whole schedule goes out of wack. I know a lot of people suggested more games than are on the schedule right now, but one that really stands out in my mind is Deadly Premonition, which would mostly take care of the block by itself, if J's estimate was correct.

I'm open to suggestions though.

I'm pretty sure J based his DP estimate on... nothing. I've never seen him try to run the game.

Well, I guess this can be Deception 2's time to shine, since you like that game so much. I still say Vagrant Story shouldn't be in unless we can't find anything else, but I'll look around for what's available again.

Everything's better with Magitek

Mike, it turns out that my brother is going to be coming to the marathon, and he was wanting to run Mirror's Edge. Right now his time estimate is 1:15, but he's going to see if he can get that lower. That would help take up some of the time. If we need more time to fill, Denton said he'd like to run another co-op Lego game - either Lego Star Wars 1 or Lego Harry Potter.

Essentia: Mirror's Edge would be a great addition. PC or console version?

Romscout: Well we already talked about it, but yeah Deception 2 isn't the greatest choice. The best part about the game is the combos and you'd mostly be using the same trap combos since you're just trying to maximize damage. There's also all of the waiting. :-/

Also, an estimate based on nothing isn't too good. :|

Well I looked at some of the suggestions people gave and here is what I found that could work.

Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories - 2 and a half or 4ish hours. I have no idea if these estimates are remotely accurate.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge - 2 hours

Don't worry Opario, I'm not going to suggest ICO because I agree that it would be fairly boring to watch.

Mirror's Edge would be the PS3 version.

Does your brother know any of the tricks and shortcuts? I don't know how many are applicable to SS. I know MMAN on the forums used to be involved with Mirror's Edge speedrunning.

I've shown him the planning thread here on SDA, so he's looking into the tricks that are mentioned there.

If we get desperate for games I could do Parasite Eve in about 3 hours, though I was hoping to save that for a marathon where Rane, Carcinogen, and/or Sir VG were there (the other SDAers that know the game).

If I had a way to get to Utah, I could offer to shove my PS1 Megaman Legends Easy Mode and VC Pokemon Snap 100% Completion runs into the lineup - my times for each are 57 minutes and 31 minutes respectively right now.

But there's no way I could get there from New York =/ Heck, I'm banking on the winter marathon being on the East Coast again to even make it there, because I'll be driving (which will require me to do a lot of practice driving between now and then, considering that I got my permit all of a week ago).

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I guess Trihex won't be able to do a 100% SMW2 run this Marathon either, huh?

Or is the schedule not completely filled out as of yet?

I know the schedule is just a rough draft right now, but it looks awful short.

Regarding Left 4 Dead 2, whoever wants to participate in the run, just PM me your Steam name and I'll contact you. I'd like to know for certain who the other players will be now because I want to start practicing with human players as soon as possible (The AI just doesn't cut it). One other player is fine, but I would prefer four players because playing with bots at the marathon would just feel so wrong. Roll Eyes

Kitsune you realize this is the summer marathon and not AGDQ2 right? Trihex isn't even showing up to this one, and it's only supposed to be 60ish hours, not 100ish. >_>
