Cesar Cedeno posted:I do not know what this is but it looks sad.  http://www.mariomarathon.com/ Starting in 2008, Mario Marathon is an annual charity event run out of Lafayette, Indiana and broadcast on Twitch. The premise is simple: over a weekend (read: until a Tuesday), beat every home console Mario platformer, with the number of levels to beat based on donations. What's the charity? Child's Play. Now, before you vote 1 on this thread, keep in mind that it's a worthwhile charity that also gives money to domestic violence shelters. Why are these people using old memes? Keep in mind, the people who put on Mario Marathon are not 'hip'. These are average people with normal lives, and they can't be bothered to learn what's cool on the internet this second. What's in it for me? For every donation of some amount (depending on the hour), you are entered into a random drawing for special, one-of-a-kind Mario mementos (usually Mario Marathon shirts, which are not for sale). Of course, near the end of the event, expect either a Nintendo 3DS or Wii U up to one lucky individual who donated. THE ORDER OF GAMES (100% in bold, warps in italics) Super Mario Bros. Super Mario 64 New Super Mario Bros. Wii Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Sunshine Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels Super Mario Galaxy 2 Super Mario World New Super Mario Bros. U Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario 3D World Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Green Star Challenge Hey! They're using warps in four of the games! Due to the nature of there now being 12 core Mario games and the fact they have day jobs, what once was possible with asking three days off from work just isn't possible anymore for non-speedrunners. Of course, if they raise more than their highest donation level, they might do more, who knows. The Mario action starts this Friday at 11AM Eastern, so tune in any way you can! Make sure you mention Something Awful in your donation!

I appreciate them putting the couch camera on the bigger section of the screen because God knows a bunch of guys sitting still doing nothing is way more interesting than a video game.

im going to donate a high speed camera instead of money so when they play back the recorded footage you can see the thunderous flapping of that guy's gross fat rolls as he laughs at the other fatty's epic meme reference. watch as the rivulets of sweat slowly roll down his triple chin due to the heart-straining exercize of throwing the controller across the room in a fit of rage when he dies on the purple coin level of mario galaxy for the 18th time, all captured in hi definition video at eight thousand frames per second.
