I challenge you!

[Levian]

Anyone care to race to the end of Megaman 3 with me tomorrow?

I will start playing at midnight GMT+1. In other perhaps more populated time zones, that would be:

Los Angeles - 3 PM
New York - 6 PM
UK - 11 PM

I also intend to be logged on to Skype during the entire playthrough, if you also have skype or are willing to download skype, I think you should join in on a group phone call so we can scream together whenever we fall down pits or are hit by robotic animals. It'll be great.

Sooo, if you want to join, I suggest you get these three items before tomorrow:
-A NES Emulator (or a NES, lol.) I suggest Nestopia if you don't have any particular preferences.
-a Megaman 3 rom. (or the actual cartridge, rofl.) Can be downloaded from torrent sites or wherever, just google around.
-Skype.

My skype handle is gulpestyggen

Add me plz and let's get this thing on the road!

Also, the reason why I picked exactly Megaman 3 is mostly random, but also because I want this to actually get done. If I opened up for suggestions I have a feeling this would just turn into a thread where people shout out a whole bunch of games and nothing past that ever happens. Instead, the winner can choose the next game if there is a next time. Yay!

Shoot man, this sounds fun. I could probably win, too. I've beaten MM3 more than any other Mega Man. I could play those levels in my sleep. Playing on PC emulator sucks though. Luckily I have my old Mega Man Collection for PS2. I think.

[Levian]

Cool! It's been quite a few years since I last played it, and I think I've only completely beaten it once. I do have some general megaman skills though, so hopefully that will come in handy.

[Levian]

Of course, if nobody joins me in this holy quest, I'll just play some Majora's Mask until I pass out instead.

[Jiro]

So it started about an hour ago? oh dammit, that's too soon! I will start trying to download this rom find this NES and join you!

[Levian]

Nah, it'll start in.. 10 hours.

Ready then? or is it like in some weird time of the day for you then?

[Jiro]

Alright, I'm kicking it old school now. seiken_jiro on skype hit me up baby

(smurf you BoB I'm not merging this post I'm busy fighting)

Never really played MegaMan before so this ought to be interesting!

[Levian]

Jiro and I just talked in Skype and we agreed to postpone this by one hour, meaning that these are the new times:

Los Angeles - 4 PM
New York - 7 PM
UK - Midnight

Jiro is starting this 9 AM. xD Geez, what a champ!

[Jiro]

Okay so after a brief practice session with encouragement from dear Levian, I have come to the realisation that this game will utterly destroy me, and then I will be rebuilt as a better human being who loves to be beaten (by video games).

But seriously guys this is awesome you need to play. I should probably get some sleep in preparation for the big day. Hope I don't have any commitments tomorrow

[Levian]

Haha yeah, just talking to you via text while you were fighting like a champ against spikes and vanishing blocks was awesome. Voice call's gonna make it even better.

[VeloZer0]

I've never beaten a original series Mega Man game before, but it has always been on my to do list. I don't have any illusions of beating it in a single sitting, but if I am available I might sit down and give it a try tonight.

Now if you guys ever want to speed run any of the MMX games....

[Levian]

This is mainly just for fun, so how far you get or what you want out of this is entirely up to you. Jiro hasn't played this game before today either, so you're not alone! Care to join us on skype though?

I'd love to do Megaman X as well some day. I've only played the first three, and I've only beaten the first one.

[Del Murder]

I'll play, but I don't have a webcam so I can't Skype.

[Levian]

Cool! we won't be using webcams, so you don't need that. Video calls between multiple people isn't possible on skype anyway afaik. but if you have a mic or an internal mic or something on your laptop you can join in by voice if you want to. there's also a parallell text convo as well like MSN uses, so even if you don't have a mic you can type to us.

[Del Murder]

How can I type when I'm too busy kicking Gemini Man's ass? But I probably have a mic on this POS somewhere.
