Going to bump this poll for some last minute votes. The game with the most votes by the end of the month will be the one we play for the Community Endurance Run, so you Chrono Cross fans out there should vote if you don't want Suikoden II to run away with it. Also...

DONATION INCENTIVES

Both Chrono Cross and Suikoden II feature a ton of different characters. We're letting viewers decide our party, so feel free to donate and leave a comment with the name of the character you'd like to see. Any dollar amount will do, as we're going to pick the characters with the highest donation totals. Folks can donate right now on our fundraising page, so feel free to get started on that prior to the event on April 10-12.

I also saw Whiplash recently, great film. I'm loving the Charles Mingus mentions, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is far and away my favorite jazz album. You also can't go wrong with anything by Miles Davis. Kind of Blue is the obvious choice for him, but my favorite Miles Davis album is actually A Tribute to Jack Johnson. It's a bit more experimental with a focus on electric instruments, but the trumpet/guitar interplay is amazing.

If you're looking for drummers as band leaders in particular, Art Blakey is a good one.

We now have a poll up for which JRPG the west coast crew should play. Chrono Cross or Suikoden II? You decide!

On UPF I think Jeff mentioned something about having a user GOTY as well. I thought he was referring to this thread but maybe they plan to do something on their own and that's creating the list? Didn't they do something like that in 2010?

Pathfinder is starting soon at Explosive Runs!

Still going strong on the last day with some Darkness II and Sonic Generations, and I'll be streaming some Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in a bit. All on Explosive Runs.

We have a Final Fantasy VIII speedrun and Rayman 3 stream going on right now, and I'm going to continue my Metal Gear Solid 3 playthrough in a little while. Come join us at Explosive Runs!

I played some Metal Gear Solid 3 in which I displayed amazing stealth skills killed a lot of dudes, and I'll wrap that playthrough up tomorrow. We're still going strong on explosiveruns though, with Silent Storm and Sonic Adventure 2 streams. Feel free to join us and watch/donate throughout the weekend.

Now that UPF is over come join us for the Community Endurance Run at explosiveruns! I'll begin streaming Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in just a few minutes, and we already have streams of Rayman and and Magic the Gathering up at the moment.

Yay, it's almost here! For those who haven't been getting enough Metal Gear Solid, even with the awesome Metal Gear Scanlon feature, I'll be playing through all of Snake Eater HD this weekend. I'm sure we can all agree it's the best MGS game, right? Right?!
