Pity Post

Haven't updated in a while since there's really nothing to say. Oh well, time to restate the obvious.

So, we're still trying to figure out when exactly during the summer we want to do Zelda Massacre again. Everybody needs to let me know if they're doing anything over summer so we can plan this. I'd personally rather play earlier in the summer then later, but that's just me.

As far as playtimes again, we actually need to plan that. Last time we had a schedule (uh, kinda) but once Majora was done we pretty much just threw the controller at whoever wanted to play. In hindsight, it was maybe not the greatest move. Sure, we needed sleep, but people who had never played a certain temple ended up walkthroughing it. Which lost us a lot of time, I realize. So this time, we need to really plan it out, and have everybody practice their parts to the point where they know how to get through the temple at a decent rate (and without asking for help). Not that I was exempt from this either- hell, I walkthroughed the entire Stone Temple in Majora's Mask.

Finally, for people who have extended play times (Jojo, chances are you'll be playing Majora on your own this time. Again.) we need other people who are cool with staying the entire two days and keeping the others up. Not that they'll be poking people and being bored for two days- there's plenty to do. Hence, the handhelds. We're playing those again, but without the restriction of one Zelda at a time. If someone wants to play A Link to the Past, another Minish Cap, and a third Phantom Hourglass all at the same time, go for it. (Incidentally, there will be much Phoenix Wrighting as well.) But we really need to bring more DS's this time. We had what, two DS's and one Gameboy Advance on the first runthrough? Not exactly sufficient.

So, this update kinda got big when I wasn't paying attention. I'll go ahead and end it now with this-

Avatar: The Last Airbender returns in July.
Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People begins in June.
Clearly, it will be an amazing summer.

No, really.

So I know I posted that last blog on April 1st, but it's not a joke. Promise. Just thought I'd clear that up for any non-believers.

In other news, this week has shaped up to be one of the greatest weeks ever. Allow me to explain.

1) NEW PHOENIX WRIGHT. YES.
In case you haven't heard, Phoenix Wright is spawning a whole new spin-off. In which you play EDGEWORTH. The prosecution, people! You get to walk around with Gumshoe (who also is awesome) and help pick up clues the police force may have missed. Wheeeeeeee! Go find more info by googling "Perfect Prosecutor." Maybe throw in some Phoenix Wright.

2) Something I never thought I would ever see. A HOMESTARRUNNER VIDEO GAME.
Anyone who knows me knows I totally love Homestarrunner. Hell, I'm pretty much a walking advertisement for them. So upon hearing there would be a video game for the wii, I flipped. Find some more out about the epic game on their homepage- homestarrunner.com.

3) Finally, I found out I'd be heading to NEW YORK COMIC CON next week. For those of you not familiar, this is a massive nerd convention. Webcomics, regular comics, anime, uh... star trek. Yea. But the one I'm looking forward to? AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. The final trailer for the entire series will be airing. Avatar is my favorite cartoon ever, so I feel kind of obligated to be there. It's gonna be amazing. For tickets and such, go look for nycomiccon.com.

I'm sure there's other amazingness going on this week, but right now these three things are just owning my brain. Sorry to spam up the blog. Not really.

Already?

Hey everypeople. So I asked the team (I feel like a superhero when I say that), and everyone is pretty much in agreement that we want to try this again.

So, we're thinking sometime in the summer. We're gonna get a little bit more serious this time around and maybe practice. And stuff. Also, if we might have a new player or two. Which would very, very good.

And a microphone. You need to hear our screams. It's frightening.
Maybe not. But we'll have a mic set up anyway. At least you'll hear the game soundtrack.

There we go. Updates will come as we get closer to being not in school.

IT'S OVER.

4 Amazing Games.
48 Hours.
4 Links (rather, a Cloud, a ..., a CAT and a Phoenix).
3 Finished Legends.
1 Nearly Completed.

Summary complete!

So, it's over. It was crazy, and it was really, really fun. I thought so, anyway.

So here's what happened. Claudia started up Ocarina of Time for us at noon on Wednesday. She played through the first two temples. I played the third. Jojo played the fourth and fifth, I played the six and seventh. Jojo and I alternated the eighth. And I finished up Ganon's Castle.

Majora's Mask. Jojo played the first three temples (woah). I played the fourth.

We SAVED. We saved the game, Majora. I know you think we didn't, but we really did, but you went ahead and freaked on us. We hate you. Well, we hate your flaws.

We picked up where we left off in another Majora file, and Jojo finished off Majora's Mask.

Dan and I started Wind Waker. Claudia played the third temple (the forest-y one), I played the fourth. Jojo and I alternated the fifth. I played the sixth and Ganon.

Twilight Princess started off fine, but right before the first temple I practically passed out. We took a nine-ish hour break, in which I napped.

Started up again around 7. Played out the remaining time, and ran out during the Twilight Palace (the one with Zant), as we were running for the second sol.

Not bad, in my opinion. We beat 3 games, and nearly the fourth.

Oh! Handhelds. Susan, Jojo, Claudia and Dan all played Phantom Hourglass and beat a little over halfway, I believe. Jessica helped out Susan too. So pretty much everyone but me. :D

Claudia also beat the first two trials in Phoenix Wright 1. Jojo was playing Phoenix Wright 2 for a while, but I don't know how far she got. Past the first trial at least.

I think that was all that was played.

Oh, so people have been asking if we're ever gonna do something like this again. I can't speak for everyone, but I had a lot of fun here. I'd be willing to try this particular challenge again and beat it, as long as we have more people and it's during the summer. Or hey, something else video game related. Sounds good to me.

So that's about it. Thanks for watching everyone, really. We never, ever, could've made it as far as we did without your support. Watching the view count go up (955, last I checked) made us all extra special happy. We feel loved.

Thanks, everyone! Claudia, Jojo, Susan, Jess and Dan, you guys rocked. That was awesome.

The end!

Math skills, go!

Someone should probably check this, considering my grades in math, but I believe if I stopped at 1:40, then I should have 10 hours and 20 minutes left.

I guess I'll start up now, since I'm awake and all. If I start at 9:30, then that means I've got til 7:50, right?

Okay. I'll try. The feed's up and running, so check it out if you're bored!
