Now that Chessa and I have finally settled into our new house we decided that a weekend of rest and relaxation was in order. To help us relax we've decided to kick back in our brand new game room and play non-stop Zelda all weekend long.
We have just started The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We plan to finish this game and hopefully one or both Oracle games since we haven't ever played either of them. Finally, if we have any time left over, we'll conclude with A Link to the Past.
If you guys want to play along at home to share in the experience, grab a controller, your copy of the game and follow along. We'll be going until Sunday night!
Both of us should be in the forums to chat in Talkback so post questions if you have them!
Also, as you know, we aren't professional marathon gamers, we're just looking to have some fun. However, for the next seven days The Speed Gamers will be smashing through the entire mainline Final Fantasy series for ACT Today. Be sure to check out their live feed and, if you can, donate to the cause.

Playing on Wii or GCN?It's one of the GameCube versions because the icons are red and green to match the red "B" button and the green "A" button, though I don't know if it's the Collector's Edition or the Master Quest edition.

I think one reason the Nintendo 64 is remembered so fondly is because it was the first foray into the third dimension. We got to see a lot of our favourite franchises in a whole new way.

If Link's Awakening will be the DX colour version, I will vote for that.
However, if it is the original, I agree that it might be difficult to see certain things, so I would vote for Link To The Past if that's the case.

What sort of equipment do you need to pull it off well? Can a camcorder and a capture card work or do you need more gear?

A webcam or a capture card (+inputs) is all that's necessary.

Good job though. I hope that people will do this more on the forums now.

I would have joined in had I realized it was back. I suppose this is a case when I should just be ignored.

I joined the chat on the first post of this thread. There were also other people I recognized on at the time. I couldn't find out what was up with the comment because right after that I got disconnected.

Rimmer asks everyone that question when they join chat, unless he or she is a regular in the chat. Then he still might do it.
NWR's chat has a different following than NWR's Forums, but they rarely chat.

Did you enter a chat username for yourself or did you leave it as generic? I kept logging in as "NWR_Chat_####" so maybe there was some confusion...
