Marathon News
TheSpeedGamer’s Resident Evil marathon to raise money for The Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation begins Friday October 30th @ 6pm cst and will last 48 hours. A live game feed will be broadcast right here on our site www.TheSpeedGamers.com alongside a commentary feed and chatroom.
Example:
To keep things interesting there will be a “Pumpkin Cam”. We will place a webcam inside of a pumpkin outside of the house so the viewers will be able to see the trick or treaters in a separate stream beside our main feed. We want the full Halloween experience 
Capcom will be supporting us for our Halloween marathon. They have donated several prizes such as multiple copies of RE5(360,Ps3 and 2 autographed PC versions by the producers of RE5) and Re Archives (Wii). We also have a Resident Evil 5 collector’s edition(Xbox 360) which Phil is giving away and three copies of Looney Land Halloween Hill that Blackduck was able to hook us up with.

Update:
I’ve been keeping this a secret for a little bit, but I think now it’s time to spill the beans. Capcom has recently contacted us and asked if they could help us out with our marathon. Of course I said yes, just reading the email got me pumping my fists. Capcom is home to several of my favorite gaming franchises.
Today Capcom mailed off 2 copies of Resident Evil (PC) autographed by the producers and several RE Darkside Chronicles t-shirts. This is just the beginning though; Capcom has even more in store for the marathon. As soon as the details are finalized I’ll post them!
cant wait, and remember britt, ur gonna read my tsg vocab essay during the marathon. just wanted to make an early reminder
Pumpkin idea is awesome. Can’t wait and see ya all there!
yea thats going to be really cool xD
I believe that there is a typo in the post. Isn’t it October 30 and not, December 30th?
I will definitely be involved with this marathon. The cause is near and dear to my heart. My father has a bad case of diabetes. He just recently suffered a massive nerve palsy in his brain because of diabetes. He now has to deal with double vision in his left eye.
why not RE survivor?
Can’t wait.
Wait
Resident Evil Gaiden? The [bad] Game Boy Color game? oh wow
Looking forward to this marathon even though it’ll be short haha. I like the idea about the pumpkin with the cam. Good luck guys!
Yay! Baltes and Gwellin? In the same day? Right after each other? Awesome!
Looks like a great group of commentators!
Yay so exciting! I can’t wait! And thank you for a posting a commentating schedule. Everyone always shouts for one x3.
So Excite! I will be glued to the monitor for 48 hours!
Awesomesauce. Can’t wait! =D And I’ll be able to donate this time ^^
T-T We need more Ferenc, lol, jk.
I probably will miss most of the marathon, as I’m not going to have an internet connection for most of Hallowe’en. ;-;
Woot, I can’t wait to hear the commentators again, been a long two months without an awesome marathon.
Why not RE4 Wii Edition? You guys said you had it during the Metal Gear marathon.
is anybody playing RE5 with baltes. because i suggest somebody does co-op with him, because shiva is like the worst sidekick in the single player
Baltes already has a partner he’s been actievely training with…
I am sososososososososososososo excited for this marathon!!!!
Then again, I might not be able to stay a lot because of the “R” rating. *grumbles about ESRB*
I like the pumpkin idea! Bet ya some kid dressed up as Gengar will show up.lol
Yes! A commentator schedule! Thanks for putting one up cuz I’ve been wanting to see one of those for a while.
