***Golden's 12 Hour Speedrunning Challenge*** I'm Golden and this is my challenge to you. On the weekend of July 3rd to 5th, I want you to try to learn a speedrun of a game you've NEVER attempted to learn before. Maybe you'll learn a game you've always wanted to, or maybe you'll pick one seemingly at random. As the name of my challenge implies, you only have 12 hours to learn and complete [at least] one run of whatever game you choose. The goal of hosting such a challenge is to get people off of their familiar games and try something different. Maybe you'll never play the game again... or maybe you will? "But Golden... I'm only around for 4 hours that weekend." Good news! YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE ALL 12 HOURS, so please feel free to sign up even if you can't commit to the full 12. The idea isn't so much to use ALL 12 hours, but rather to try and learn a game in LESS THAN 12 hours. Some reasons to participate: 1) The time limit forces you to think big picture and worry less about the small details. 2) You'll have something to show for your hard work when you complete your first run. 3a) You might find out you like the game you picked. 3b) You might find out you hate the game you picked. 4) Since the challenge goes throughout the weekend, you can watch others learn new games too! 5) You'll make Golden happy. (This counts for something... right?) 6) Fun? ------------------------------------------------- SIGN UPS To sign up, please fill out this form: http://goo.gl/forms/Af8ou4jWpj (I might try to get a Twitch team going so we have all the streams in one place.
