TheSpeedGamers' Castlevania Marathon

[OzzofAsura]

We do try to speed run the games, but you need to remember that most speed runners practice for months if not years to get good at a single game. We do a new series of games every month or so. It's inevitable that we aren't going to be great speed runners, nor even have the time to practice outside of jobs and school. We try our best though. When TSG started out we excelled because we did the game series that we knew. Now that we are expanding out to other series that we don't know very well, everything is up in the air. Honestly the uncertainty makes it more fun.

Also we have a set amount of time (48 hours this time), and we make it a priority to try and fill up that time. We try not to repeat the games as much as possible, but we all know the games are short and I'm sure some will be repeated either to fill time or while waiting on another player.

Yeah, I figured as much. I wasn't dissing you guys, I was just noting that you don't play games with the sole purpose of finishing quickly. I like it this way better anyway. If I wanted to watch a speedrun, I could spend 5 minutes on Youtube. With you not being familiar with all these games gives everyone the added opportunity to actually interact with you, instead of just tearing through a game in minutes. I think it makes people more likely to donate as well, as you guys are going at it for hours, busting your asses.

Keep up the good work. This ties in nicely with my mission to beat all the CV games.

Bump, it's starting today at 6PM Central...or about 8 hours from when this is posted.

I'd like to be excited about this but lack of my favorite - Ecclesia - as well as Circle of the Moon... well it's just plain disappointing.

still, good luck, hope you raise a lot of money for charity, etc.

Yeah, we personally would have liked to have every game being played...but the lack of players for those games that we trust just wasn't making it possible . So every game that isn't listed was because of either that or scheduling problems.

There's always the overtime that inevitably comes at the end of a TSG marathon. Sometimes they take requests during extra time to either 100% a game or play a side game. But for other games they will have to have the game cart handy.
