Link to original post: [drupal=2862]GwJ's Christmas Break video game marathon[/drupal]



I might livestream some/none/all of these, depends on the current situation, but I will start December 23rd (My last day at school, I think it's a half day) and will end before school starts again, which I think is January 3rd. Anyway, here's my list, I'll update when I complete one.

Paper Mario
Shadow of the Colossus
Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (I've played 3&K too many times, it's getting slightly old)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (I've never played it, don't kill me)
Super Luigi Galaxy
Pokemon Crystal (I haven't got around to finishing it again, I'm about to play the 1st gym)



If I happen to have time or remember one, I'll add it.

I approve of you choices, although SotC might take a while if it's your fist time through.

And props for Sonic 2, one of my favorite games of all time there.

And Super Mario Bros. 3 is overrated pretty good. Although if you wanted to play pretty much the same exact game only with better graphics then you should go check out NSMB Wii.

 

[GwJ]

I don't have NSMB wii and I probably won't get it until I get a new mic, capture card, mario kart Wii, and a job. I've beaten SotC like 5 times already, it's my favorite game. My last run was 10 hours I think, if I can be efficient, I can probably hit 9.

 

[Darth Waffles]

good luck getting paper mario and the thousand year door's time anywhere near that =P

This better not interfere with us going to visit dynomite during his stay in Allentown/Bethlehem. I will personally convince your entire family to let you go for at least one day during this break. dyno's played Zom~B and I want to see how we stack up

Much <3

 

[IxxI]

I need to do one of these for break.

needs more kirby.

 

[CT Chia]

its a good playlist

 

[Jimnymebob]

Good list, especially Sonic 2.

Will you do a none warp whistle run for SMB3?

 

[Melomaniacal]

Love me some SoTC, good ****.

 

[SharkAttack]

Good list.

For SMB3 save those P Wings for World 8. There's a minitiature castle in the 7th (Plant)world where it might be good to have a P-Wing as well because you have to fly up to a hidden door if I recall.

 

[MarKO X]

SMW > SMB3 imo, but maybe that's just me...

Sonic 2... w/ or w/o Emeralds?

 

[CRASHiC]

Yoshi Island > Mario games.

 

[MarKO X]

CRASHiC knows. Lol

 

[Reapereater]

Ugh..SoTC... It's so broken to me. Yet it's so epic I can't stop playing. I Past the first boss which took like 3 hours. Climbing the legs, stabbing it, climbing, more and trying to attack without losing grip. Man that was hard and frustrating. I never heard of Super LUIGI galaxy before either...

 

[GwJ]

Super Luigi Galaxy is when you get all the stars with Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. After that, you can do a runthrough as Luigi.

 

[finalark]

SMW > SMB3 imo, but maybe that's just me...

Yoshi Island > Mario games.

Quoted for truth.

Seriously, if you can get your hands on Yoshi's Island PLAY THAT GAME. It is so much fun, execpt for Baby Mario.

 

[GwJ]

I can play any Mario game, which should I play?

I know that Mario fanboys everywhere are going to give a swift kick in the balls for this, but the best Mario game out of all of them is Galaxy (ducks). And yes, I'm serious.

If you want to go classic Mario, then I reccomend Super Mario World as being the best one. Longest, best levels, and Yoshi's a lot of fun. Although there are some parts that might get on your nerves (**** YOU FOREST OF ILLUSION!).

As for others, Yoshi's Island is a great spin-off and if you have a SNES then go check out Super Mario All-Stars.

I would say stick with SMB3, it was a very good game. Try not to use the warp whistles though, for obvious reasons.

 

[jivegamer]

Go with what you like. I like SMW better than 3, but just barely. They're definitely both tons of fun to play, so go with what YOU like. You got a youtube channel?

I'll probably upload random clips from my playing or maybe a full runthrough of one or a few of the games, who knows. I'll put my Twilight princess playthrough on hold once the 23rd rolls around.

 

[Romulox2010]

Donkey Kong 64 is an amazing game IMO but it is kinda a pain in the *** to get all the golden bananas.

 

[Sucumbio]

LOL we just got SMB3 for virtual console, my wife gave up after half an hour and started ALttP ... again. She also believes SMW to be the best mario game, greater than SMB3, though she likes it, she's just never played it through, so she likes to play 2-player, and I'm busy w/a conference so can't play.

 

[jivegamer]

I just subbed your channel. Looks like it's got some good stuff (me likey Twilight Princess :D). I've never played (or even really seen) Shadow of the Colossus, so I think that would be interesting.

 

[finalark]

If you own a Playstation 2 (or one of the PS3 models that can run PS2 games), then GO BUY THIS GAME. Why? SotC may be a love it or hate it game, but get it anyway because you never experiance anything like it. Ever.

Well, Last Guardian might end up being like it but who knows?

 

[jivegamer]

I'll consider that. I played a TIIIINY bit of Ico, so if it is like that, I think I might like it. I'll have to read up on it before making a final decision though.

Shadow of the Colossus was made by a company called Team Ico. Guess what other game they did?

Anyway, I think I'm going to go tell everyone to send you message about how awesome SotC is...

Spoiler

I'm joking.

Or am I?

 

[Poltergust]

I approve of Super Luigi Galaxy. =)

Are you going to do a 100% run for it?

It aint a Mario runthrough if you don't get every star.

 

[Poltergust]

Awesome. Can't wait. =D

Also, it's a Luigi run-through.
