Hey! It's coming up after the Mega Man marathon. August 27th-30th is when we wage war on the Space Pirates. Sadly because Other M's release date was pushed back (to a week after the marathon) we won't be playing that game. This makes Steve a sad bounty hunter, as he was looking forward to ripping through that game live. But have no fear! There is still plenty of Metroid fun to be had. The charity we're going to be supporting this time around is Child's Play once more! More information about that awesome charity started by the guys over at Penny Arcade can be found at www.childsplaycharity.org/. So! here's the game list and the current players. Metroid: Mark Metroid Zero Mission: Steve Metroid Prime: Jerrod Metroid Prime 2: Brian Metroid Prime 3: Unknown Metroid II: Cornshaq Super Metroid: Steve Metroid Fusion: Jerry

I'd offer to play though Prime 3 but since my computer almost sploded trying to get though wind waker I have a feeling it won't like that.
Still if its ok I'd love to at least commentate a bit to make up for my absenteeism this time and shoddy performance/odd illness with the zelda one. I should be moved out and probably even have a new camera by then.

Can't you push the marathon back a week to play Other M? What charity is it for?

We could but we've already planned schedules around the listed dates and it would be a pain to change things now. We might stream a bit of Other M after the marathon though. Not really sure yet. As for the charity, we're still deciding on that.

Hm... not sure how I feel about finding out the speed gamers decided to schedule a marathon on the same day as our Metroid marathon. Thoughts?

To be frank, I think it would be more productive to rearrange the Marathon if at all possible. The sad truth is that when doing something like this you want to ensure that you have the maximum impact so that people are more motivated to pay. Make people split their attention and they may decide to choose one over the other.
However if its too much of a pain to get everyone to move, then probably just keep it as is. After all the major investment is time, and any money is good money for a good cause. Best bet would probably be to ask everyone doing the games what they can do/if they can move it and if you can't find a date that works then simply run it as is and hope for the best.

So we're looking for someone to get down on some Metroid Prime 3 for the marathon. Who here thinks they can do both a speedy any% run and 100% run of the game? 100% in this case meaning all items collected. Interested parties should PM me.

Well, I no longer will be moving to Arkansas, so looks like I will in fact be attending this shindig.
