Another Challenge Approaches!

[Skyblade]

I know I'm late, but I just have to ask: Can we use Knuckles? Via the S&K add-on ability?

[Jiro]

I forgot about it completely. We do need to organise ourselves better Next week at this time I have work though!

Haha, the challenge passed already. A new game will be picked... soonish.

[Loony BoB]

Man, I would have been up for this had I seen it and had it not been on Monday morning. You guys should plan for the Saturday/Sunday times instead of Sunday/Monday.

On a sidenote, this would be even more awesome if we could somehow watch each other's games while playing our own, so we could laugh at each other's cockups. I wonder if there are many cheap/free games that allow for that kind of thing.

[Jiro]

Saturday/Sunday times work, generally, for me

[Levian]

I'm pretty much always busy on Saturdays, for different social or weekendial reasons, so I can't promise myself away like I could do with a Sunday. I'm definitely a fan of majority rules though, so we can definitely continue discussing Saturday/Sunday for future gatherings.

Let's do a roll call though, how many of you are up to playing one of these games on Sunday/Monday?

Megaman X4
Megaman X
Super Mario World

I think those games are the ones that were mentioned. Only people who are actually going to join in are allowed to pitch in.

I'm down for any of them.

[VeloZer0]

Super Mario world might be a bit long for one of these, especially since most of us probably haven't played it in quite a while. I mean you can always blast through star road, but that is an incredibly boring way to play. Unless you split the game in half and did it on two different weeks. On week do World 1-4 and 5-7 the next.

My vote:
Oct 30 - Mega Man X
Nov 5 - Super Mario World 1
Nov 12 - Super Mario World 2

And I would like to play X4 after, but we could probably give some other series a chance.

Sunday evening is one of the few times that I have a high probability of being free.

[Pike]

I agree with the assessment that Super Mario World is a really long one unless you're going to go the cheap route by way of Star Road. Perhaps Super Mario Bros 3, no whistles? It'd still be long, and the later stages are TOUGH, but it'd be quicker than SMW.

I have both and am up for either, although I work most weekends. Still, in the rare event that I'm actually not working when you do it, I might give it a shot!

[Levian]

So you are both joining in tomorrow?

I don't think it's much longer than any Megaman X game, especially considering the difficulty of Megaman as well. Most levels can be beaten in few minutes and if you subtract secret levels there's not really all that many levels in each world. Super Mario Bros 3 is easily much longer and also a bit harder though.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Hmm, I might be able to actually join this one tomorrow; I don't really have a lot of homework to do.

My favorite ideas are of Super Mario World and Mario 3.

[VeloZer0]

I've been looking forward to it and plan on being there, though with my life as it is I can never guarantee 100%.

[Pike]

So you are both joining in tomorrow?

I am not; I'm working all day (and night) tomorrow.

[Del Murder]

I'll be on a safari tomorrow. My vote would be for Mario 3, but allowing warps. That would be the only feasible way to do it.

[Levian]

Isn't it possible to get from World 1 to World 7 with warps?

Anyway, since neither of you are actually playing today I'm going to disregard your picks for today's challenge. That means Velozer0 (maybe), Northernchaosgod and I are playing, and perhaps Jiro?

So might as well pick a game all of us enjoys. SMW is the only one all of us have given a green light, not sure how Northernchaosgod feels about playing Megaman X. Like I said earlier, I'm down for just about anything.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I'm not too familiar with MMX, so I would prefer Mario.

Anyone else plan on doing this? Isn't it almost time?
