Hey Gibe :D
Depends on if we can stream them and set them up. It sounds like a really cool idea! What game would you be running? Would you do it online or on site?
The poll results have come in! we're going to be pushing the marathon back one week. Thanks for understanding and good luck with practice everyone :)

Hey all,
I'm looking for feedback on what you like to see from marathons. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic below :)
Feel free to suggest anything!

Hey all,
I've been trying to stream my Wii in component on my PVM Trinitron, but when I do the screen gets split in half on 480p, but not for 480i. Has anyone else had this problem or know a fix for it?
It doesn't split the screen when I try it with an HDTV, and I've tried it with another PVM and the screen gets split on it, so maybe it's a problem with the PVMs? Also, I can get it working in 480p with a PS2 with component cables too, so maybe the Wii has something to do with it too?
I saw that nobody has done a co-op run for any% or 100% yet. What's the reason for that?
Hey all,
The Midwest Speedcrew is hosting our winter themed marathon, MidWinter SpeedSprinter on March 2nd-4th! We are accepting in-person and online runs, with the venue being one of our team member's home in Minnesota for the in-person runs. (In-person runners will be invited to a special channel with the address for the venue ) (it will be called Pup N Suds, it is still the right discord channel!)
We are raising funds for Maria Soria's Gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/e44dtq-my-son-is-fighting-leukemia Her son is a friend of JustCallMeWade, one of our runners, and she currently needs funds to cover medical costs for her son fighting leukemia. She also has 4 other children to care for, and as a single mother she won't be able to work to care for them because of how busy she is with Jacob's leukemia treatment.
Our tech man will be providing a professional level stream to ensure the best quality for you to watch! We will be using restream.io to stream at these sites:
Twitch: https://twitch.tv/midwestspeedfest Youtube Gaming: https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCxZU3lVJEAW5P-PI9ozlqOg/live Smashcast: https://www.smashcast.tv/midwestspeedfest Stream Me : https://www.stream.me/midwestspeedfest
