THE ENDDD

Summary: Super awesome! I'll post more when I have control over my fingers apparently (this sentence took toooo longgg to not misspell), and am not really sleepy. Misspell looks incorrect but okay.

I WANT CHICKEN AND CHICHIS
WAKA WAKA WAKA

Hurf durf

Alright, 2 hours and counting 'til we start! This is the last update until we begin streaming - then we'll have that one continuous update that we keep editing for your viewing pleasure. And also twitter.

AHHHH never mind again. Can't seem to get two cameras running, so we'll have just the one focused on the tv. You'll still be able to hear us though.

PROBLEM, our internet is being a jerk. It hardly works in the room we're seated in, meaning the feed suffers as well. Working furiously to fix that, but right now it looks like I'll have to run out and buy some electronic help. That probably won't happen until after 12 though, so we may have to suffer with the terrible internet for an hour or two. D:

Other than that I think we're prepared. Not sure which game is going first, but some of you should definitely keep an eye out on the graffiti during Jet Set Radio Future. /wink

A Brief Overview

Oh man you guys. Oh man. 3 straight days of video games.

3 DAYYSS


So uh, these things usually get pretty crazy if you haven't heard. WHAT TO EXPECT

Yeah okay, that's... that's pretty much all I wanted to say.

UPDATES A PLENTY

Bah, sorry for lack of information. Anyway one little update rolled into another and so on and now I'm just gonna post a whole new thing here rather than edit the last. yyeeahhhh

Small change in games (though I think I edited it below as well):
Evan - Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked
Matt - Lost Planet
Jojo - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Claire - Jet Set Radio Future

We aren't necessarily playing in that order though, we'll kinda just figure that out as we go along. After those four are done, we're gonna gang up on Okami, switchin' people out as we go along through it. fff I love that game. If there's time afterwards (probably) Claudia is gonna play some Kingdom Hearts 2.

Okay, so date-wise. This is a little hairy because while we had decided on a date, Dan had just brought up a complaint so it maaaayyy be changed, but chances are we're keeping it like this:

We'll begin on July 13th, Monday at noon, and end on July 16th, Thursday at noon. That should get us our 72 hours. Again, this is all Eastern Standard Time.

I thiiiink that's it? Everything else below is correct minus these changes, so read up on that for more information if you haven't. Still working on getting that 2 camera thing ready, but don't get your hopes up. :c Other than that, we're set I think.

OH OH OH We've got a tentative name for us too! Tell us if it's super lame or awesome. *title whooosh*
NERDS IN A BOX
Super thanks to dear sweet Nans for the IN A BOX part. Anyway we're rather fond of it, so unless someone can come up with something better, it's stickin'
I'm getting around to updating the layout of the site, should be up and running later. Also added a twitter just for the blog. Figure that'll help with updating once we get up and running, if you're into that sorta thing.

NEEERRRDDS

Look at who managed to keep on schedule for once. Someone get me a pizza trophy.

After forever, we decided we're playing an "anything goes" run, where several unrelated games will be sprinted through posthaste.

Yelaila's playing Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.
Matt's playing Lost Planet.
Evan's playing Ratchet: Deadlocked
Claire's playing Jet Set Radio Future
VARIETY YEEAHHHH 

We are also being joined by Claudia, Dan and Miche who didn't feel like playing much of anything but are super cool anyway. The run is gonna be 72 hours long like last time. Our games should only take up 2 of those 3 days, so the last day is dedicated to teaming up on Okami. Should that beast manage to be slew, it's anyone's game for the final hours.

We'll be broadcasting live for the entirety of 3 days! Same place as always on our justin.tv channel, link to the left. There's the possibility of setting up two cameras this time, one on the tv and one on the room so you can see us woooaahhh. What do you think?

As for what days, we're not quite certain yet. Chances are it'll be in July, but that's all getting figured out in the next week or so, so check back soon.

INPUT TIME: We need a sweet name for this gig. Be awesome and think of one for us, please? You'll win my eternal love. Then I'll finally get around to updating the layout for the site.

Actuallllyyy, if someone could figure up a sweet name for us in general, like one that we won't have to keep changing with each new marathon we do (ex: not Zelda Massacre and then Nintendo Massacre, but more like "Cool people who play cool games" only less lame), I'd flipping give them my heart. Or, I dunno, something in equal or lesser value. If you can come up with one we like, you can take your pick, my love.

~*~THANKS GUYS~*~

Thursday, May 14, 2009

Huhhhhh.

Just so you know this blog hasn't absolutely shut down, we are working on a new project, and information is coming soon. End of the month soon. Once school ends we're planning on another video game run, and we've got approximately 4 weeks left so hannnggg in there babies.

Monday, February 2, 2009

Ohohoh

And by "give me some time to recuperate" I clearly meant "let me sleep this off for a month." My apologies.

I read over the last post and spent some time trying to figure out what I had thought of to say for afterwards, but I can't remember for my life. I mean, the list of games we beat is right below, so I can't see why myself-a-month-earlier would feel the need to make another post about it. So, yes.

Thanks to everyone who came out and chatted with us, though! It was very cool and we love you to death. As for another marathon, we've got little-to-no plans. Something about an "any game on from any platform we feel like" idea was mentioned, but nothing's gonna start moving for a good couple of months. When we eventually get around to something it'll show up here.

Thanks for having fun with us, internet!

Current News Post!

We'll be updating this post now and then throughout the massacre so you can read about where we are! Click here to go straight to the live feed!

9:00 PM (Saturday)
Only 66 hours left and Claudia and Evan have beaten Brawl: Subspace Emissary! Dan's started Mario Galaxy now!

5:00 AM (Sunday)
Mario Galaxy has been completed, namely by Evan and Claire. We're 14 hours in, so we've got 58 hours left! We're off to Diddy Kong now. Thanks to everyone who's been chatting with us!

9:00 AM (Sunday)
Diddy Kong Racing is finished thanks to Evan! Playing Pac-Man World 2 now.

10:00 PM (Sunday)
Pac-Man (Claire) and Pokemon Snap (Evan and Claudia) have been finished, and Donkey Kong (Evan and Jojo) was started but abandoned for now. Planning to get back to that, hopefully. We're taking a short, one hour break before getting back on the gaming with Twilight Princess.

3:00 PM (Monday)
Twilight Princess is finished (Evan and Claire) and we've moved back to Donkey Kong (Jojo and Evan).

11:00 PM (Monday)
Gave up on Donkey Kong because it is a ridiculous game. Moved on to Okami (Claire).

3:30 AM (Tuesday)
Took a break from Okami to take a nap and lost all morale.

So it's 9:00 AM on Tuesday. We've all awoken and collectively decided that 72 hours is a really, really long time. We're not really up to continuing, unfortunately. But it was awesome and fun and I swear I'll make a proper update once I've had some recuperation.

Saturday, December 27, 2008

It has begun!

The Nintendo Massacre has begun! Click here to skip right to our live feed. (Set on mature just to be safe - probably gonna be some cussin') We've started off with Brawl: Subspace Emissary. Claudia and Evan are playing, Claire (mahself, Chupacawha) is chatting on the chatbox as foonkythumbs.

If you're curious about what this all is, just scroll on down. The two posts below should explain about everything. c:

A Final Word

Last post before we get this on. Most of what needs to be said already has in the below post, so scroll on down for the list of games we'll be playing and charity information.

We'll be starting our run on Saturday the 27th at 3:00PM Eastern Standard Time. You can come watch us play at our live feed (link is to the left as well). You'll notice it's set on mature, but that's just because we tend to curse now and then and decided to play it safe. At least one of us will be there to talk for the entire 72 hours. Sign up at justin.tv and chat with us! It takes 30 seconds, and there's no obligations afterword or spam email (Promise! We've had our account there for nearly a year now).

Speaking of us (oh egotism), we are a group of five. There's Jojo, Dan, Claudia, Evan, Claire and Miche. Dan will only be there the first day, so be sure to catch up with us Saturday to chill the whole group (after the first 12 hours we start passing out anyway)!

So that's it, basically. We're doing our best to practice Crystal Chronicles as a group, and we've got the other games down pat at this point. Our only fatality was Eternal Darkness. :[ We were given a broken disk, and there's no time now to get another copy. Our apologies.

Thanks to everyone who's been supporting us! We love your suggestions and comments (mostly because we're attention whores ;D)! You are all wonderful.

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

It's a twiiisst

Hello internet. Our team has tweaked the list and come up with the final roster of games!

Nintendo 64
Super Mario 64
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong Racing
Pokemon Snap

GameCube
Crystal Chronicles
Pac-Man World 2
The Simpsons Hit & Run

Wii
Twilight Princess
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Okami
Brawl Subspace Emissary
Mario Galaxy

You may notice, obviously, that there's no possible way for us to beat all of those games in 72 hours. Here's where we're introducing something new.

There's a non-profit charity called Child's Play that's been running since 2003. Child's Play gives video games and toys to less fortunate children in hospitals across the globe.  Many gaming marathons have raised money for the charity, and we'd like to put in our 2 cents too.

So here's the deal! Rather than be bored watching us play a game you hate, donate some money to Child's Play! For each dollar you donate, you'll get one vote in what game you'd like to see us play next. Every time we finish a game we'll tally up the votes, and the viewers will choose what game we play!

Not enough for you? No problem. We're more than willing to sell our services (we're not worth much anyway ohoh)! Donate 5 dollars and one of us will scribble a little drawing or make an mspaint for you! Donate 10 dollars and each one of us will make a drawing for you (that's at least 6 arts!) Donate 20+ dollars, and in addition to everything above, we'll make something/do something else for you! (a quickie video, do something ridiculous on camera, whatever you want! we'll negotiate!)

Disclaimer: Only one of us is an actual artist (psst, it's Claudia). ^^; Feel free to request any one of us (might take a bit as that person could be playing) to make your drawing, we'll do it! And even though we suck at arts, we'll do our best!

Second Disclaimer: We'll draw/do whatever you want, within reason. Nothing seckshual or physically detrimental to us. We can negotiate!

Donate (via paypal) to Child's Play on their home page. Uh, we aren't exactly sure how to tell if you donated or not, though. ^^; As much as we'd like to take your word for it, we need some kind of proof. Not sure how to do that though, so if anyone has any ideas, do let us know! (We realize paypal sends you a reciept, but we don't want to ask for that 'cause personal information is there and we don't need that.)

Don't feel bad if you can't donate! The last thing we want is to guilt trip anyone. December is a busy season and we fully understand. To be completely honest, we don't even have the money to donate (which is why we're trying to raise money instead)! We're not even really expecting to raise 50 dollars, so don't worry! Come watch and chat with us anyway, that's what we love the most!

Anyway, there we are! More updates to come once more information is known. Let us know what you think of this idea, though!

Nintendo Massacre?

Good day, internet. Our little group of gamers has finally decided on what we would like to do for another gaming marathon! It's a Nintendo Massacre! Old games and new games! Popular franchises and unheard wonders! Games that sucked to you, but we played as poor children and loved anyway!

You'll find that while our name has changed, the blog won't. You can still come here to find out new updates on what our lame selves are doing, and maybe I'll stop being lazy and change the layout for it too.

We have a list of Nintendo games ready for anyone at all to vote on. These are the games we're interested in playing, and we really want your opinion on it as well (in case you decide to watch!). 

Twilight Princess (Wii)
Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
007: Goldeneye (N64)
Donkey Kong (N64)
Banjo-Kazooie (N64)
Metroid (Any of them, you choose!)
Crystal Chronicles (GC)
Brawl Adventure Mode (Wii)
Pac-Man World 2 (GC)
Pokemon Snap (N64)
The Simpsons Hit & Run (GC)
Okami (Wii)
Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii)
Diddy Kong Racing (N64)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GC)

You'll notice we obviously can't play all of these games. Here's where you come in - what specific games in this list would you like us to play? The final choice will rest with us, but we're pretty torn between what we feel like playing and need your help!

We have dates for it as well! We'll start at noon on the 27th of December. As for when we finish, we're still working on that. We'll either finish on the 29th for 48 hours, or the 30th if we decide to go for 72 straight hours of Nintendo. There's a whole ton of good games on our list, and we really want to play as many as we possibly can. Therefore, the option of going a full 72 hours has been brought up as well.

So there we are! Post your opinions here, send us an email, whatever you like! Fanmail and flames go to foonkythumbs@yahoo.com. Got a game you really want to see but wasn't on the list? Let us know about that too. Tell your friends about us if you think they'd be interested (ohohoh shameless plugs).

We'll have our final list of games and hopefully set dates for you by December 3rd at the latest.

Thanks for your help, internet!

Halp

HAI LOOK NOT DEAD.

Good day, tiny portion of the internet that might've checked out this death blog. Iiiiiiit's been a while.

Nothing of real importance has happened since the Massacre. However, we totally remembered this thing a few days ago and went "WOAHAMAZING."

After some good nostalgia, we've basically decided that we want to do some sort of crazy video game marathon again. Incoming: Prablem!

We've got no idea what vidjagaems we should play. :l We don't rather feel like Zelda again just yet (unless someone comes up with a crazy twist!), but we want to do something.

So, here's where you come in, if ya feel like it. We need ideas, you maybe have them. Let us know what you want to see! What video game(s) would you find really fun to watch someone else play for an extended period of time??

Honestly, anything Nintendo-y works. You name it, we probably have it (maybe). Name a series if you feel like it. Mario is always a good option...

Anyway, you've got your mission. Go for it, nobody. Drop us a line at foonkythumbs@yahoo.com or leave a message here.

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.

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

Sunday, July 27, 2008

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:

Saturday, July 26, 2008

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.

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.

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, Claudia and Evan, mainly. They need to work this one out- I don't have a clue.

Twilight Princess:
Claire will play up to obtaining the Master Sword (halfway through the game).
Evan will play the rest of the game (to the end).

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 Handhelds Zeldas basically go to whoever grabs them first. We don't have a structure on those. Except for...

A Link to the Past:
This game goes entirely to Jeff, over on the west coast. He'll have a separate live feed up for his run.

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.

A Link to the Past will be broadcasted over here.

Feel free to chat with us on those pages as well!

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.
