What can I say, having both "loses to" and "defeats" really helps me think my way through the convoluted logic of Monkey Kombat, but I certainly can't be bothered to fill all that information out twice during a race, now can I?
Excel: Tons of work now for almost zero work later.
Got done with Siege of Spinner Cay after a total time of 2.56 (11.21pm to 1.11am, 10.59am to 12.05pm). Will start Lair of the Leviathan immediately after that. (Yay favorite level! It will hopefully HEAL MY EYES from all the post-Monkey Kombat BLEEDING)
EDIT: Just got done with Lair (favorite credits too btw.) It took me 2.44 (12.16pm to 3pm) this time.
I'll move right on to Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood. Come to my channel, people! I'm audio commenting again and my viewers need someone to talk to!
Done with Trial and Execution. It took me 3.32 (3.18pm-6.50pm) this time.
And we're on to the last episode, Rise of the Pirate God! After I'm done I guess the race will officially be finished, so come see how I put this thing to an end!
Btw, I'll HAVE to take my time. It's definitely impossible for me to kick in a last-minute record for that episode. It may even take double as much time as normally as well but I'll use every opportunity to catch a good joke in the game.
EDIT: I tried to break the record because I was talked into it. Of course I didn't succeed but at least it didn't take another four hours to finish this. While everybody keeps on telling me to post 1.20 as the time, I'm pretty concerned that if my calculations are right, my time was 1.39 (8.47pm to 10.25pm). I'm also pretty sure someone's gonna post something above me. But whatsoever.
So I guess this race has ended now. I definitely scored last place but I don't care. It was 1. just for kicks and 2. the perfect excuse to finally get to play all the games in the right order and with almost no breaks. Plus, 3. it's probably among the greatest things that could happen to a nerd. Especially to hardcore nerds like me. And yes I am happy now. REALLY HAPPY. YAY.
I plead for another MI run this year! Around Christmas again if you wish, as long as I can participate And maybe, until next time, I will have some decent notes set up so I do all this a little faster.
And there will be an instant save. For AFTER MONKEY KOMBAT.

I'm going to send off PMs to Jake and Ribs concerning the winners. I have to get back to work on the house right now, but if Chyron is around, you guys can start discussing when you want to get going on the fun runs.
By the way, as an interesting note, if someone was to play through and achieve all of our record times, they would finish the race in 14:41.

Just letting you know that under acheivements, fastest time should be doodinthemood, not me.
but if Chyron is around, you guys can start discussing when you want to get going on the fun runs.
mkay.
When do you guys want to start the fun run? Guru says it's kinda up to me since I'm playing SoMI. I just want to make sure people come and watch.
I'm perfectly fine with playing SoMI more than once for the sake of people in different time zones.
By the way, I have the SE, VGA/CD and EGA/diskette versions of SoMI. Since I have the EGA version, at some point during my playthrough, I'm going to pull up a savegame on it and do the Stump Joke, since I'll bet money many people here have not seen it firsthand.
I currently have my livestream chat up (livestream.com/chyron8472) and am in the TTG irc channel (irc.centralchat.net #telltale) if you guys want to talk about when I should start.
The next ten days are sort of up in the air for me, and it's pretty unlikely that I can manage my Curse run or watch either of the other two until next Monday at the earliest. For reference, I got up at 9 am today, spent the day scraping loose paint off the house and making a trip to Home Depot, and I just got inside now at 8 pm.
But after the 31st, I'm up for just about anything.

(I just realized yesterday night why you talked me into the 1:20 time. Thank you, come again, but it's still not fair, folks. That's still Tom's record there.)

Why thank you Manda. Is there a award for most awards won? 'Cause I may have taken the proverbial cake (which is a lie) with "Least Likely to Become a Mod"

So I created a Livestream channel for the post-race and added all the participants to the broadcast team. Would you guys test it out and see if you can broadcast to it?

Edit: Ninja'd. Yes, Ozzie, I did.
Ok, so I clicked the Livestream Studio link and logged in. Now what?
I dunno. I can't really test it out, since I'm the one who owns the stream. All seven of you guys are showing up as moderators in the chat, but I'm wondering if the channel appears in your Procaster list. When you launch Procaster and log in, there should be a drop menu above "Go Live!" that lets you pick which channel you broadcast to.
Ok thanks, Im setting up a Livestream just in case I want to use one for the next race, should I just choose Livestream Free channel instead of premium and should I not bother going through the verification.
Ok, I have my livestream set up so I might use it for the next race, did most peope use Low Quality, coz if i set mine to Low Quality im fine, but if I use Normal Quality the FPS drop to about 8 or 10.

"Tons" is putting it lightly. I made the stupid decision of taking an ICT Course... Euragh.
I kind of like the pentagram design. If I had to make a big thing of it, I'd print out a copy and laminate it and use whiteboard pens.

Oh, there's gonna be a fun run? Sounds fun, what are people taking part in it posting in here while they're playing?
Why thank you Manda. Is there a award for most awards won? 'Cause I may have taken the proverbial cake (which is a lie) with "Least Likely to Become a Mod"
Also, I wouldn't object to you stealing the record out from under Tomp. He totally deserves it.
Here.

Ok, so I clicked the Livestream Studio link and logged in. Now what?
So obviously each game will be played after the previous has been completed because your streaming the fun run in the one place.
My upload speed is 0.30 mb/s, I used to have 0.60 mb/s but when we changed our plan to increase our downloads our upload speed dropped.
P.S. thanks again Chyron for your help.
