Will there be a list of rules or differences in who may attend this event? I know it's still quite a long ways away.

I'll bring it up in person about it being in Edmonton, knowing what we talked about the last night I was there...

It's pretty obvious I'd like to attend again, and help in any way I can. Perhaps I should even pick something to practice all year...hmmm

Sums up my feelings pretty well, haha!

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, played using the Virtuix Omni, assuming it's out by next May (it should, they're talking Kickstarter for this May). That would be AWESOME.

We'd need somebody to do Final Fantasy Adventure to tie it in to the FF series. Smiley

Then I could do Legen...WHOOPS! Best not be giving out that kind of info now.

My feelings on The Demon Rush

Another C4L sounds good, but I thought you were moving to Vancouver, Poxnor.

If I can come then I'll take up the graveyard shift with The Demon Rush. Tongue

BTW, I'm serious.

P.S. Lag.Com, you can learn TDR in case if I can't come!

Mercury: I want to do this as a personal marathon at some point :p Arena and Daggerfall are way longer than Morrowind and Oblivion, though...
also I don't know Battlespire or Redguard at all

Sir VG: I don't want to walk up mountains FOR REAL, that's why I do it in video games, sheesh

mikwuyma: no

I enjoyed C4L and I look forward to seeing it again next year. Good job everyone.

Moo! Flap! Hug!

mikwuyma: Yes, I am moving to Vancouver, which might make it somewhat surprising that this is going to be in Edmonton next year. But, after the debrief with JDRF last night: (a) they were disappointed that they didn't do more to support us (why, is absolutely beyond me!); and, (b) next year, since Stef and I won't have a house in Edmonton, they want to get us a convention centre space and comp hotel rooms for all the attendees (seriously: no house, yet it'll still be free aside from travel costs for everyone who's attending). They want it in Edmonton again, and we're already starting planning more than a year in advance to make it happen Tongue

Edit: I seriously don't know what time slot to give to TDR. On one hand, it's the worst fucking game I've ever seen. On the other hand, there's so much epic lore surrounding it in the SDA community that it should almost be a feature Tongue

Brettatron

2013-04-11 12:06:58 pm

give it a slot 2 before a feature game... lets folks see it who want it but doesnt kill hype for a feature.

Nope, no April Fools joke here. This seriously came out of the debrief with JDRF last night. They want it again, they want it in Edmonton, and they want to help as much as possible with our costs.

(And, keep in mind, JDRF sends most of the money they receive -- over 80 cents on the dollar -- directly to research. They won't be paying for our rooms. Rather, they have partnerships with hotels and a conference centre in Edmonton, and they're looking to get our rooms donated to us, so that neither we nor JDRF have to pay anything.)

I can only hope this is "Legend of Legaia." That said, I suspect a 16 hour run is probably pushing it for any marathon.

Oh, and lesson learned: no curling next year. I'll try to keep the human sacrifices at C4L to a minimum Sad

No pain, no gain

If TDR is there, I'll be there. No, serious.

With that said, I've got FFIV down, and I'm wanting to work on FFVI with all optional bosses and, depending, no instant death (yes, Magi Master strats ahoy!). Another option could be that romhack Pony Fantasy VI, but I'm guessing people wouldn't really be into that Tongue

I don't really play a lot of other RPGs; I'd consider learning Secret of Mana, but I know other people are already beasting that. Still, it's great that there is so much support!
