We just finished up Ocarina of Time about 8:55 AM, November 22, 2008. It was a good 17ish hours. Although I came up finishing in an unoffical third, I really enjoyed it.Project M started off with a lot of screaming, yelling, and joking. I started off into a quick lead easily finishing the Deku and Dodongo levels. Travis was able to catch up and steal Jabu-Jabu from me. Nick and Brad were trailing behind, but we all met up at the Forest Temple. It was really close but I got a few lucky breaks and was able to sneak it out. The Fire Temple found Travis way in the lead with me and Nick chasing close by. The water temple was the craziest of all as we changed leads multiple times between the four of us. From then on out it went downhill for me and Travis, Brad, and Nick were able to use their experience to build a big lead. I spent the rest of the night playing catch up to basically to no avail. Brad and Travis were just too tough and played very cleanly. I managed to catch up to Nick at the Spirit Temple, but he had to leave for work so he wasn't able to finish. I figured it'd be the right thing to do to finish up the game, so I did. Congratulations to Brad for finishing Ocarina for the First time and also to Travis who came in second. Had things gone a little different here and there, Travis may have won.
Now it's morning. I'm not really sure what to do. My body is still on a rush from playing games all night and hanging out with friend. It's also my birthday today, so I feel like it should be a day I don't waste sleeping. I don't feel like I'm 27. I don't feel like I'm getting old or not being able to do the things I used to. I'm maturing but I'm still able to be carefree and sometimes stupid. I'm finding myself doing things I never thought of doing when I was younger, ie Zelda Marathon. I feel like my life is a blank canvas, so who knows what can/will happen tomorrow. So thanks everyone who showed up, some being there all night. It was for you guys that I decided to push through and finish the game. I felt like you guys deserved my best effort. I'm a little tired now so I think I'm going to go get some breakfast. I could even go as far as to say that I have a breakfast date.
Later,
David

Well happy birthday David
Happy Birthday David!
Sorry, I missed all the action:(
But happy birthday David!
Congratulations Brad, and congratulations to all of you for playing 17 hours straight. Sorry I couldn't watch to the end, since I live in PST, so I had to start watching at 12 noon. Anyway, wished I could've been through all of it.
Happy Birthday David :D
Happy Birthday David! :P I couldn't watch the entire thing but stayed up for the first 7 1/2 hours, :P glad you enjoyed yourself though even if you didnt win lol
Happy Bday David have fun and a good one. Congrats to all 4 of you and to brad to actually winning when he never even finished the game beforehand.
Congratulation to all of you for going through most/all of the marathon, hell of a challenge to have a race in OoT. Congrats Brad, and Happy Birthday David, hope you're not too exhausted today from the rush of the race. =D
Things like this is exactly why I love watching you guys. You all did fantastic. Thanks for doing it. Have a good birthday David.
Happy birthday, David! Hope it's a fun one.
Have fun on your breakfast date, too!
Happy Birthday David!
And congratulations to all four of you for a very successfull (and fun to watch) marathon, i hope you do more in the future.
Happy birthday. I too turned 27 this year (in January) and it is a weird time indeed. Somewhere between a 'real' adult and a carefree kid. I look around myself and wonder how I got here so fast.
Good job on finishing. I was watching pretty much the entire time (short about 3 hours or so) and you guys all put on a great show. It sucks that Nick had to drop out due to work but some obligations are more important. I gotta say, it was classy of you to finish, a lot of people would have probably just put it down and walked away.
Happy birthday David!!!!!!
That Marathon was INTENSE
Happy Birthday David! It's so good to hear that you still feel young. That's how people need to be -- with a positive, aspiring output on life. There's still much to do, and you're still very much capable. Kudos!
And congratulations to Brad as well. I caught most of the marathon including the end, and it was quite a ride. I was sure Travis would win given his position most of the marathon. But alas, Brad channeled his inner grizzly and won. Good job to you all.
Happy Birthday David!
You remind me so much of myself, it's silly. You honestly don't look 27. Take that however you want, but to me you look to be MAYBE 20 or 21.
I was rooting for you the whole way through, man. Shame you places third, but I'm glad you had fun.
Sadly i didn't watch it all. But Happy Birthday David.
Hey. Happy Birthday man, and good gaming. It's a good thing I didn't go through with that bet. You'd of had me sweatin' bullets. Great job to the rest of 4pp as well. Gotta say, these events are tons of fun. Hope you come up with some more in the near future.
Happy Birthday David~
After watching this entire marathon, I don't think I'll ever count Travis out again.
Happy Birthday David!
and
Grats to Brad for sticking it through OoT and pulling off that amazing win after all those hardships on Bongo Bongo and Ganon! :)
Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu!
I've gained new found amazement at Brad's tenacity. I thought he was just fooling around. It's too bad that Nick had to leave for work. Ah well.
Happy birthday, David! :)
happy b-day david. you did really good in the marathon, u just unfortunatetly screw up towars the end. happy b-day though.
Congratulations on the marathon guys
And happy birthday David :D
I watched most of it didn't get to see it through the end :(
And Congrats to Brad beating the game for the first time and yelling goo till everyone went deaf xD
Brad won?!? You gotta be shitting me.
All members of 4PP should be very proud of their efforts in Project M!
Congrats to Brad for winning the contest, and I hope you had a great 27th birthday, David!
Damn that was fun and exhausting to watch. Probably even more so to actually play. Don't go doing another one of these marathons too soon now, with you being old and all...
Just kidding. Happy 27th, David. :)
Happy Birthday David! Congrats on going through the marathon guys!
Good job David, and happy birthday. Thanks to all four of you, and Mike with his great camerawork. :D
Happy Birthday David!
Happy Belated birth day David, too bad you didn't win. But really, what I'm commenting for too is brad's miraculous victory, which I never got to witness. Simply amazing. I'm so glad I stayed on his team and rooted him on. Love that guy, but I seriously had my doubts-eh f**K my doubts, they are assholes.
Yeah-Congratulations to the odd success of Project M, brad, David's day of Birth, and a good f**king job well done.
Can't wait for the NEXT marathon guys, I love to support.
Congrats guys on a job well done~!
