Welcome to the Zelda Massacre! If you have no idea what any of this is, you've found the correct post. Knowledge, go!
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 Zelda 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 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
Evan
Jeff
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.
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.
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, 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.

Hateful Lies
This blog just keeps getting farther away from the point. My apologies.
Anyways, I lied, apparently. Avatar does begin again on July 14th (monday), with The Western Air Temple. 15th is The Firebending Masters. 16th, however, is both The Boiling Rock Part 1 and 2. Which makes the 17th (first day of the Massacre, actually) The Southern Raiders. 18th is The Ember Island Players. Finally, Saturday the 19th is the 2-hour, four episode series conclusion.
So, we have a slight problem here. I think we were all (at least, us Avatards) planning on watching the finale together. Word was there was to be cake, with a picture of Buff Iroh as icing (I'm looking at you, Danny). However, seeing as the episodes air around 8PM, and the Massacre ends around noon, there's a bit of a gap there.
Now we could all just head home for eight or so hours, then come back ready for Avatar. But I figure we should know all the options, so the other one is to start the Massacre later. As in, Thursday the 17th, but at eight rather than noon.
I'm fine with either option. Just as long as there is IrohCake.

Flapjack.
Update just to let you know what's goin' on:
Not a whole ton of progress has been made, recently. We still have to figure out who's gonna play what.
And that's all I have to say about that.
In other news, Cartoon Network has dug itself out from the grave with Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. They're both so awesome.
Nickelodeon has yet figure out what a shovel is. It could be a while.

Bowls of Pudding.
It's been a while, but considering we've officially got six days of school left, I figured I should outline some things about July.
July 14 (monday):
Avatar: The Last Airbender has officially been slated to begin airing July 14, with The Western Air Temple.
July 15 (tuesday):
The Firebending Masters airs.
July 16 (wednesday):
The Boiling Rock Part 1 airs. There is much preparing for the next day, including double extra checking that every system works right, and probably reviewing every run. We're going hardcore for this, people.
July 17 (thursday):
Our run begins at noon, with Ocarina of Time. Still not sure who is playing what exactly, but Ocarina should end sometime around eight or nine, and then Jojo can hop on Majora's Mask. There will be much rejoicing at the end of Ocarina. The Boiling Rock Part 2 airs. Whoever isn't playing will probably watch it too.
July 18 (friday):
Majora's Mask should end sometime before dawn (If Jojo really can beat the game in six hours (I am holding you to that bet, Jo)). If not, last time we won around eight, so that's when Wind Waker begins. Again, last time Wind Waker ended some time around eight that night, but hopefully we can knock a few hours off that. Twilight is (hopefully) beginning sometime before nine. Also, The Southern Raiders will air at eight. Someone is gonna have to bite the bullet and watch the new episode recorded, while everyone else watches it live. If we're into Twilight, it'll probably be me (The universe hates me). Unless Evan is still here, then he can play since he's not an Avatard like the rest of us.
July 19 (saturday):
Our run ends at exactly noon, again. Hopefully, Twilight will have been finished off a few hours before then. If that happens, I guess we'll just have to decide whether we all want to continue our handhelds until twelve, or end when Twilight is over. If we decide to continue, we'll still broadcast some kind of console game for everyone. Possibly Four Swords Adventures for the Gamecube. I'm looking to get my hands on that one. The Ember Island Players airs at eight. Try to stay awake just a few more hours so you don't sleep through it.
July 20 (sunday):
The 2 HOUR, 4 EPISODE SERIES-FREAKEN-FINALE of Avatar: The Last Airbender airs. Sozin's Comet, part 1,2,3,4. It's like Christmas, your birthday, the superbowl, Comic Con and the last night of waiting outside the game shop for the brand new Zelda all put together. With Chuck Norris and Abe Lincoln coming to the party. They brought Febreeze.
