So I'm planning on catching as much of this as I can, but I sadly must work and sleep at times, so I'm going to miss a few runs. Are you guys planning on putting up the vids up for Download like they do for the official SDA marathons (I use it for viewing during my commute)?

If not, I understand.

EDIT: In theory I could rip the twitch archives, but that comes out to much larger files than I'd like and twitch cuts the vids up into 30 minute segments, which doesn't really work for a FF marathon lol.

Just checked out the marathon page for the first time and damn that is pure sex right there. I seriously hope we adopt that for the -GDQs in the future. See you all (via internet) on Friday!

Moo! Flap! Hug!

garik: We're going to record the runs on a DVD recorder. I could probably encode them and toss them up on the web server, if there's interest.

Marathon page looks great. I am excited to watch (and donate) for this. Best of luck everyone.

Poxnor, that'd be awesome if you could. Can't wait for the marathon. I'm going to get negative hours of sleep.

Would anyone mind if I posted what I drew during C4L?

Thanks, Mikalia!

So many awesome pictures... I can't decide which one I want as my desktop! (not a fan of desktop slideshows)

Awesome marathon all around, thanks.

However, it looks like Twitch dropped the second-to-last 30-minute segment of the end of the marathon on the floor, which unfortunately included the end of FF6 and the beginning of the marathon ending. See the video jump a few seconds in here: http://www.twitch.tv/poxnor/b/379731539?t=6h00m20s

Is this available somewhere else or is it lost forever at this point? It wasn't clear above whether just the game video was being recorded, or also the xsplit stream and commentary.

Edit: Just found a second hole in this recording at: http://www.twitch.tv/poxnor/b/379731539?t=3h30m10s
Edit: And two more, one in FFX (http://www.twitch.tv/poxnor/b/379572701?t=9h59m50s) and one in FF4 (http://www.twitch.tv/poxnor/b/378218931?t=1h59m50s). Everything else is present as far as I can tell.

If the stream machine didn't crash, local recordings should still exist, provided that option was checked before the marathon started.

Sorry, due to a technical oversight on my part (i.e., poor printed instructions posted beside the streaming machine), DVD recordings don't exist for the PSP games, nor for FF4. I take full responsibility for that oversight.

I missed the end of the marathon, so I'm actually more interested in the commentary audio than the game; the missing game and room video is recoverable (somewhat) from the French restream. (Fortunately nothing was missing from the "SleepMV" period. Smiley

)

All I have to say is...BEST. MARATHON. EVER.

Not that I'm, you know, biased about something.

Was a good time and I still managed to do well on my finals so i don't have to beat you guys up for being distracting. A+ effort everyone.

Yeah, Sir VG, I figure. I assume you don't really need that box and are happy to sell it to me? xþ

Well poxnor I eagerly await whenever you get up the DVDs recordings that you do have: I sadly failed to watch any of the runs in their entirety
