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.

If you hadn’t read yet, at GDC High Voltage Software made some major changes to The Grinder.

The footage comes from the Xbox 360 version of the title.  From what we know so far this is what the PlayStation 3 and PC version will be very similar.

As for the Wii version High Voltage Software says they have an announcement for it coming soon. “We have not made any announcements on the Wii version at this time, but I expect us to do so soon. I will say that all versions of the game will share a large portion of the content that we create.”

You can check out the gameplay after the jump.

Hey all, here’s an oldie but an okay-ie. The first Metroid marathon was shortly before my time, but nevertheless I felt its presence when everyone kept saying “OMG BOOM” during the first Mother marathon. It refers to completely dominating Kraid with missiles. After a while I drew up this goofy little design, desperate to gain the attention and approval of our High Lords and Masters of Quickly Playing Through Several Games for Charity. Needless to say, Chase chopped off my left ring finger and told me to stop being such a desperate worm. I told him worms don’t have fingers, which is how I lost my right thumb. Anyway, the bigger version is under the cut… CUT?! NO DON’T SAY THAT WORD! CHASE FLASHBACKS!
