I just found out about this site recently, but I think everyone should check it out. http://www.thespeedgamers.com/ It's a site that does speed runs through video games for various charities They have raised over 15 thousand dollars so far. They just finished a pokemon series speed run and are preparing a Zelda series speed run starting March 13th, so if your a gamer and you like to help then definitely check them out. I really like the idea because it gives gamers a better rep and showing that we care about a good cause.

I have heard about them.

However, not this.

Yeah I would like to see a Chrono run for a charity, that way the compendium could get involved. Or maybe we could get some community members to do a run of the Chrono series for them.

I could speed through Trigger incredibly fast, I lack the means to record such a run though. Also, I'd love to do it for charity, specifically WHAT charity is the question. We should send that retarded guy who thinks Video Games are the source of all wars and evil an email with a link to this in it...

I think you're referring to Jack Thompson and yes I would love to do a GTA series speed run for charity just to prove what a pompous asshole he is.

I think we should do a Compendium effort to make a CGI movie in which the CT crew and the Best charecters from Cross (Not just the filler ones) beat the crap out of him. Also, the GTA marathon is quite a good idea, it'll prove him wrong.

I think the Compendium's time is better spent making a decent fan game...

I agree, the whole Cross remake to kill the whines fanboys have about it sounds like a wonderful idea. Personally I love it, and I'm only at Viper mansion, the First time, as I assume that they return...

Guile, as at the time I was pretty sure he was Magus. I named him Magil.

Bet you were in for a surprise when you discovered the RD easter egg, then?

I just got the boat with Karsha or whatever his name is, after seeing Glenn who is most certainly not green haired, dammit, be angsty about the Einlazer, which was in RD. Is that what you mean? Or is there something in Viper Manor?

(PS: IMA FIRIN' MAH EINLAZER!!! bLAAH!!!)

No, I think he refers to much later, but I'm not saying so that you find out yourself.

So, is anyone into Xenogears? It's a great game for those of you who are tired of predictable shounen-based plots with the same cliché'd characters with no depth. It's also the best game ever made. And Lucca's in it.
I'm sure you all knew that already, I just felt like talking about Xenogears a little. (Which is the best game ever made.)
