Ah gaming. The only kind of marathon where you can spend the entire event on the couch w/ a giant bag of cheetos...
These guys are speed runners, not to mention that they're doing it live so you'll miss stuff. If you really want someone else to play through the FF games while you watch I recommend HCBaily's excellent FF LPs: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=HCBailly&view=playlists" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=HCBail...;view=playlists</a>
Current donations are at $6740/$20000. Currently it is 4:00pm central on Sunday and Phil is finishing up FF5. Gwellin is up next playing FFIII on the DS which he estimates will require 15 hours. Currently Local has played the longest finishing FFII in 22 hours.
Oh, the games are being played out of order, but there is a rough schedule available here: <a href="http://www.thespeedgamers.com/final-fantasy-marathon-details" target="_blank">http://www.thespeedgamers.com/final-fantasy-marathon-details</a>
Note: The commentators watch the chat and will occasionally do stuff for money.
*ducks*
Cool thing they're doing though.
