Good luck to the Four48 crew! Here's hoping you make it through the four games and raise lots of cash for charity, too!

Moar Zelda?
So you should all get yourselves over to this blog here. These are the people we got the idea to do the Massacre from, and they're trying their challenge again this weekend. Go watch and cheer them on! I'll be there as much as I can.

You're doing what?
So we've actually gotten some responses from people asking us to continue broadcasting.
Clearly, none of them have a li- THEY'REALLREALLYCOOLANDWELOVETHEMFOREVER. :D
Seriously though. The group of us decided that we kinda felt like doing something too. However, attempting yet another Zelda run would be overkill at this point, and none of us are really up for another massive game run just yet.
SOLUTION! The four of us tend to get together once a week and play random video games for several hours on end. Why not hastily slap together a camera and broadcast our shenanigans?
I need to learn how to spell that word so I can spread it across the internet.
But, yeah. Classic games include:
007 Goldeneye
Gauntlet
Jet Force Gemini
Mario Tennis
SSBB
Rock Band
Various Mario Parties
...and many more! :D
We mainly play us a good deal of Goldeneye and Rock Band, however anyone watching us play can vote and throw in their opinions on what they'd like to see. We like variety.
So stop by our channel on Monday, the 28th at noon. We usually play about 5 hours, and we'll be takin' requests!
End Note:
Just to let you all know, we are no experts at Rock Band. We play the game casually, and for fun. Don't expect our playing or singing skills to be incredible.
Also, we scream a lot during 007. Turn down your speakers. D:

Procrastination at its best.
So I know that the Massacre ended about a week ago, but then I slept for a while and had tennis practice and got a new video game and generally didn't feel much like taking the time for a blog post.
You're welcome.
Anyway, in case you haven't heard, we won the Massacre! Gave Ganon a sword in the gut to go with the one in his face and skull and still had a little over 3 and a half hours left.
Rather than be awesome and use the time to continue some handhelds, we promptly (and by we, I mean myself) passed out.
Massacre Overview!
Ocarina of Time
Claudia picked up Ocarina of Time and played it through the second temple. She was into the third one when we lost power and had to replay the entire Dodongo's Cavern and Jabu Jabu's Belly.
Jojo played through the adult forest temple and fire temple.
Claire (I'm just gonna go ahead and say myself, doesn't sound as weird) played the water, shadow and spirit temples. And then I blundered (no really, it was bad) through the final temple.
Majora's Mask
Jojo pulled an all-nighter along with Miche, who was there chatting it up with everyone online. Claudia was out catching the premiere of Batman, and Dan was still at his house. I was asleep for about two temples of Majora.
Jojo somehow single-handedly played all of Majora's Mask in an amazing time for us (sleep deprivation and all) and probably saved us the run after our mishap in Ocarina.
Wind Waker
At this point in our run, Dan and Claudia had showed up, and Miche had begun her hibernation for the rest of the run.
Also, this is apparently where I got massive amnesia. Seriously, I don't know what the crap happened for half of this game. All I know is that I probably didn't play it since I don't remember.
However, I believe Jojo played from the beginning to the water temple...? I know it wasn't me. I think I was asleep for some of it.
The Temple of the Gods and the Forsaken Fortress went to either Claudia or Jojo. I don't know where I was during all of this.
I remember I played the next two temples, the ones with Makar and Medli.
After that, I tried to get some sleep for Twilight but it didn't work so well. Claudia, Dan and Jojo teamed up and obtained the Triforce of Courage together- Claudia skimmed through the walkthrough with Dan and Jojo played it.
I played most of Ganon's Tower and fought Puppet Ganon. Jojo finished the game with a pretty awesome final battle against Ganon. Master Sword in Ganon's skull was admired at by all who were awake.
Twilight Princess
Dan went home after that and we all moved to the other tv. Miche was still asleep, but on another couch now.
I played up through the Lakebed Temple. At which point we snagged the official guide and Jojo and Claudia double-teamed Saving Midna through Getting to Arbiter's Grounds. I took a nap.
I played Arbiter's Grounds to the end. Sometime between Retrieving Ilia's Memory and City in the Sky, everybody fell asleep. Claudia woke up just in time to watch the final battle with Ganon.
And then we were done.
All of us would like to thank everyone who took the time to come watch a few minutes of our run. Many of you kept us up and cheered us on, which helped more than you could ever know. Many of you made funny comments and kept us up with your general awesomeness. A few of you trolled and that was pretty decent too, though I expected more spam from you. A goal to shoot for next time, I suppose. :D
Just thanks, everybody. You all rocked.
One final note. Just to let you know how tired we all were during the Massacre.
People do weird things when they're tired.
Miche couldn't figure out where I was when I was sitting beside her and yelled "Where are you??" when I said something. She promptly fell asleep a few minutes later. Dan was sad that he missed it.
I fell asleep during that one cutscene where Zant rambles on about Ganon and whatnot for forever. I woke up just before the fight started. D:
Claudia half woke up during Twilight Princess and muttered something about a weird dream she had. I think I heard the word zombies or something.
I fell asleep after the massacre on a chair and woke up lyin' on a couch. When asked how I got there, I was told that I stood up, talked to the dog for a bit, and then stole Miche's seat when she left the room for a minute.
You're welcome.

Welcome Post, Revised!
A lot of things changed real spur of the moment, so here's our brand new, mildly revised welcome post!
Welcome to the Zelda Massacre!
You can skip the post and get to the video here.
What is The Zelda Massacre?
The Zelda Massacre is a 48 hour Legend of Zelda marathon, basically. In it, the Zelda Massacre Team (us) are going to sit down and play through basically as many Legend of Zeldas as we possibly can.
When is The Massacre?
The clock starts Thursday, July 17th at noon (east coast time). It ends Saturday, July 19th at noon (once again, east coast time).
What games will you play?
First off, the only video games we will be broadcasting are The Legend of Zelda ones.
We will definitely be playing through Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. You can watch us play those over on our live feed.
In addition, we will also attempt to play through A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, The Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass. With the possibility of some Four Swords thrown in.
Are you guys the first to try this?
We are not. A lot of the gaming community has already attempted (and accomplished) this challenge. I do believe, however, that we are the first group to incorporate the other Legend of Zeldas into it as well.
Are there any rules?
There are, yes. One- We cannot have two playing a Console Zelda at the same time. A Console Zelda is one we need a TV for, so obviously Ocarina, Majora, Wind, and Twilight. This rule means that someone cannot be playing Twilight at the same time as another playing Ocarina. Only one Console Zelda at a time.
Two- We can play as many Handheld Zeldas at one time as we want. A Handheld Zelda is one we do not need a TV for. So, Link to the Past, Season, Minish and Hourglass. We can all be playing one at the same time.
Example: Person A is playing Majora's Mask. Person B is playing Seasons. C is playing Minish and D is playing Hourglass. This is completely legal.
Who is playing?
The people involved in the Zelda Massacre are:
Claudia
Jojo
Dan
Claire
(*You may notice we're missing two people here. Jeff is visiting family this week, and Evan had a change of plans D: That's alright though. I'm still confident we can pull this off.)
Who will play what?
While this is still very subject to change, I figured I would post it anyway.
Ocarina of Time:
Claudia will play the first three temples, up to obtaining the Master Sword.
Jojo will play the next two temples, Forest and Fire.
The water temple goes to whoever feels they can pull it off.
Claire will play the next two temples, Shadow and Spirit.
The final dungeon is up for grabs.
Majora's Mask:
This game is all Jojo. Go for it, Jojo!
(*She's the best cut out for the job, since it's her favorite game. In fact, she's pretty much the only person in our group to beat it.)
Wind Waker:
This, I'm not sure. It's a pretty big game, and we've all played it. I figure, though, that it'll probably be split up between Dan and Claudia, mainly. With either Jojo or Claire playing the final two temples.
Twilight Princess:
This game is all Claire.
(*Due to recent changes in players.)
Please realize though, that this is really subject to change. In the end, we're probably just gonna give the controller to whoever can play.
The Handheld Zeldas basically go to whoever grabs them first. We don't have a structure on those.
Where can I watch?
Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess will all be broadcasted over on this live feed here.
Feel free to chat with us on that page as well! Getting a username on justin.tv takes literally no more than thirty seconds. And since we've got a microphone this time, we'll talk with you. It keeps us awake and all, too. And gives ego boosts. :D
Is there any way I can contact you guys (besides the live feed)?
Feel free to email Claire at foonkythumbs@yahoo.com. Your emails and thoughts will get around to the whole group. Comments, questions, complaints, cheers, flames- it's all happily accepted.
So that's about it. If there's any other questions, feel free to comment on this page or email. :D

Update
Quickie update on the massive (and informative!) post below.
Jeff won't be able to play A Link to the Past for us, but we've still got ourselves the game so I'm sure one of us will end up playing it. Sorry about that.
Oh, and another question.
Are you guys the first to try this?
We are not. A lot of the gaming community has already attempted (and accomplished) this challenge. I do believe, however, that we are the first group to incorporate the other Legend of Zeldas into it as well.
Also, I've reaches epic levels of dorkiness. Unable to sleep, I sat up from four in the morning and whipped up a crappy video. Yay for shameless promotion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6eG3qVQC04
None of this post will make any real sense if you don't read up on the big one just below. Just letting ya know.

Oh wai-
Hey hey. Just a little short blog to tide any (no)one over for a bit.
I'm currently working on a massive update for this here. One that will basically explain everything about the Massacre even if you've never heard of it before.
And so that it stays at the top of the page in case anyone new comes about to read, I don't intend on updating afterwards. I probably will, but here's hoping I won't. :D
One last thing. Evan, Claudia, Dan, Jojo, Jeff- If any of you guys feel really bored and want to make something to promote the Massacre, feel free. Not that you have to- just throwing it out there. I've been considering making a youtube video, but judging by the rest of mine, it would probably suck a lot.
