Of space pirates and jellyfishes

We originally made this blog so we could write summaries about our past marathons and notify the readers for upcoming ones, especially since last time we heard quite a lot of critique of insufficient advertising. The problem is, we don't really know if any of you read this blog, or where else we could advertise our marathons. Last weekend there was some talk and ideas about a public marathon calendar, so perhaps in the future it would be easier to spread the word.

But enough about that! Last weekend (10th-12th of August) we had a Metroid Prime (Trilogy) marathon on Wii. We started on Friday with Unita and Yuffie, and on Saturday Lefrin and Kiraito joined us (though Kiraito was only visiting, and she had to be on her way soon after). This was a new experience for us all, since none of us had played any of the Metroid games before, and at least I personally am quite new for games with a first-person camera (and Wii as a console).

We originally had plans to play through the whole trilogy, but the first game proved to be so challenging and long that we didn't have time for the other games. Perhaps in the future. Nevertheless, we had lots of fun and managed to beat the first game within the timeframe with some help from our lovely co-hosts and audience. Thank you, everyone! We hope to see you all again in our next marathon, whenever that may be. : D

We also recorded the marathon, so if you want to watch it, you can find it on Unita's channel.
