Marathon News
Details regarding the 72 hour Metroid Marathon that starts on March 12th at 6 pm cst:
We, TheSpeedGamers, are based in the DFW Texas area and play video games to raise money for different causes. We have been a group for nearly two years now and have raised approximately $125,000 for various causes.
Our events typically last 72 hours continuously in which we broadcast ourselves over the internet playing video game franchise’s to their completion while also providing video commentary. There is a chat room that accompanies the video game feed so that the viewers can interact with the players and other viewers. Everything can be viewed on TheSpeedGamers.com.
During the Metroid marathon we will be raising money for Halton Autistic Family Support Group .
Donations will be gathered using a chip in widget; debit, credit cards and paypal can be used to donate.
Game list and order:
- Metroid (NES VC) Oscar
- Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) Daniel
- Metroid Prime 1: Tim
- Metroid Prime Hunters (DS): Phil
- Metroid Prime 2(Blind Run): Britt, Heath, Rob
- Metroid Prime 3 : Baltes
- Metroid 2 (GB): Tim
- Super Metroid: Cameron
- Metroid Fusion (GBA): Daniel
Additional info:
Our goal will be $15,000. The chipin widget will go up Tuesday March. 9th. So far as prizes we have several Metroid Metal Cd’s to give away to viewers. More prizes will be announced as we get closer to the marathon.
I can’t wait!
Ah, so it’s officially 72 hours now! Looking forward to this, especially the Prime series.
Looks like I need to get a hold of MPH again
LETS DO THIS
yay I can’t wait either
what if u guys got some of those megaman NXT warrior arm cannons, painted them green, and have them as prizes? they would be samus’s arm cannon.
“Metroid Prime 1-3 (GC,GC,Wii)”
So I guess you guys won’t be using trilogy! (I dunno if ye’ve said it before though
)
My understanding is that the Trilogy will be played after everything has been played once.
Woot, Marathon updates!
Awesomness here Britt, getting excited. ^^
hope you guys are gonna have fun i wont be abled to watch on the 12th because its my brithers birthday but ill be watching 13th march onwards
Sweet.
Can’t wait – been following you guys since the FF marathon last summer.

Yay! I’m super excited! This just gives me so much inspiration to help out even more!! <33
im looking forward to this marathon a lot. can’t wait for you guys to give away my prize!
A little more than a month away! I can’t wait this is going to be so awesome!
I just noticed, looking at the calender, that the Sunday of this marathon will be the 2yr anniversary of TSG as a group. The first marathon started on March 14th 2008.
thats the idea
i better get some fan-art ready
such a hard choice… watch all of this or play SoulSilver which is out on the tail-end of it… ah well I’ll do both!
awww this is 3 days after the FF13 is released…how am i ment to watch both
Being in said autism spectrum i really appreciate what you guys are doing :3
i hope you guys reach your goal ^.^
Can people just join in and do this? I live near the area, 4 hour drive give or take, and I’ve wanted to run all 3 MP games in less than 12 hours (MP in 2:40, MP2 in 5:00, MP3 in 4:00) and maybe do Zero Mission and Fusion as well. I’d love to participate if possible.
hope you guys achieve $15k i know ill be rooting you guys good luck
So if a person wanted to participate in this by actually running a game how would one go about doing so. I can run Metroid Prime in under 1:50 consistently and can provide video proof if needed. I would love to do it for a good cause. I am tate on both speeddemosarchive.com and metroid2002.com forums if you would like to get ahold of me.
if you mean an hour and fifty minutes that is insane, unless i cant read your secret time code
I think Im going to play metroid prime hunters again just to get pumped up for the marathon =D
would you play metriod prime hunters on wifi in spare time?
ok its time to pull out my GC again and start playin MP
