SNES Classic Patreon Drive - Tomorrow!
Added 2017-09-28 17:14:59 +0000 UTCTomorrow we're celebrating the launch of the SNES Classic with an eight hour marathon stream September 29th from 2:00 - 10:00 PM Pacific Time, and it's also doubling as a drive to encourage new folks to become patrons. (See easyallies.com for local times)
We've set up a series of fun SNES challenges as well as a couple other nostalgic goals. Most of the challenges aren't meant to be crazy or impossible, but to keep any one challenge from lasting all night, that person has to complete it within 15 minutes. If they don't, their name will be added to the Wall of Shame.
Here's the full list of goals. This is a collective list from various Allies so apologies if they aren't 100% clear. If you have any challenges you'd like to suggest, feel free to comment below. If we really love it, we might slide it in.
6160 patrons - Bomb Jumps to an Energy Tank in Super Metroid
6170 patrons - Spark Mandrill is behind you!
6180 patrons - Brandon reads his letter to EGM
6190 patrons - Group – Who can do the most jumps in Super Mario RPG?
6200 patrons - Star Fox Black Hole or Another Dimension
6210 patrons - Street Fighter II perfect barrel bonus
6220 patrons - Complete Level 2 of Super Ghouls n Ghosts
6230 patrons - Blood reads his Donkey Kong Country newspaper article
6250 patrons - Super Mario Kart Lakitu ice course trick
6270 patrons - Super Mario World - no Yoshi
6290 patrons - Zelda: LttP Explorers Glitch or Chris Houlihan Room
6310 patrons – Blood reads his Super Mario RPG newspaper article
6330 patrons - Star Fox no laser upgrades
6350 patrons - The Port Town II “penalty jump” in F-Zero
6360 patrons – Mario Kart “mini-mode”
If you know anyone who might like Easy Allies and especially if they love SNES games, now's the time to poke them about getting involved. Thanks and see you on the stream!

2017-09-29 17:50:59 +0000 UTCCan you clarify the Wall of Shame? Sounds un-easy

2017-09-29 12:55:59 +0000 UTCI can't be the only one that's slightly disappointed that there seems to be no tier for 'Damiani reads his weird star fox/ man in the iron mask fan fic'. Either way I expect the stream to be a blast. Have fun gents.

2017-09-29 07:29:28 +0000 UTCMaybe make sure you have someone whose only job is to keep a live Twitter feed going of the evening? Most people in chat will already be subscribers, so the best way to bring more people in is to try and attract them through social media.

2017-09-29 04:31:10 +0000 UTCStreet Fighter II Arcade Mode, Kyle does all the KO vocals live
2017-09-29 02:07:13 +0000 UTC6500 patrons - tape Bossmans eyes open and make him watch the new Mario footage. I know it's evil but it might just work.
2017-09-29 02:07:02 +0000 UTCHow about something along the lines of, get to the first boss(or beat it) in Contra 3 without dying?

2017-09-28 21:56:54 +0000 UTCI really hope this works. Trailer Jones needs to come back!
Andreas Kleanthous
2017-09-28 21:24:25 +0000 UTCBrad and Ben need to do two player co-op in Secret of Mana. Please? That would be grand!
2017-09-28 20:43:53 +0000 UTCCan't wait!
2017-09-28 19:09:50 +0000 UTCThat's a good idea.

2017-09-28 18:59:04 +0000 UTCSuper Punch Out needs some recognition here—Challenge: Knock Bald Bull down while he's charging. -Darth Smurf X
Shane Sanders
2017-09-28 18:52:20 +0000 UTCCannot WAIT! Please have one of the Goals: Blood has to read his F-Zero GX 10/10 Review. (F-Zero GX one of my fave racers and never bettered yet in my opinion).

2017-09-28 18:52:09 +0000 UTCMaybe you fear this would be intrusive, but I really think that if the idea is to increase the number of patreons, you guys should post a quick video promoting the stream on the main YouTube channel

2017-09-28 17:44:38 +0000 UTCI like that, but how about, Kyle does a mini-Bosman.
César Villa
2017-09-28 17:35:46 +0000 UTCWant to watch new patrons flow like the Salmon of Capistrano? <b>6,400 Patrons: Kyle does actual stand-up comedy for 15 minutes.</b>
John Peterson
2017-09-28 17:35:11 +0000 UTCChallenge. - Kirby's Dream Course - Make a hole in 1 in course 1 hole 4 (hint, you'll need the jump ability provided in hole 3, use the save state feature at beginning of hole 4 to avoid having to play the prior 3 holes again). - Alternative challenge: Finish Course 1 with at least 4 holes in 1. I hope this turns out great for you guys. L&R

2017-09-28 17:35:10 +0000 UTCGreat idea! Looking forward to it!

2017-09-28 17:25:57 +0000 UTCHere’s a suggestion: Damiani reads an entire Nintendo Power magazine.

2017-09-28 17:22:18 +0000 UTCHmmm...I'll definitely be checking out some of the stream. I love the little activities/challenges tied to new patrons. Hopefully we get a nice boost. I feel like there's a challenge for Kirby Super Star in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what it would be. Something fun, quick, and not terribly tedious. Just a fun challenge. It's been so long, but I'd say something with the Kung-Fu would be interesting...Idk.
