Hello Destructoid people. My name is Lasse and I'm from the country of beer and sausages: Germany. I prefer strange Japanese games. My favorite series of all time is Pop'n Music, which I'm still bad at and can't clear anything above a difficulty rating of 38. BEMANI FOR LIFE!
Currently playing:

I have already posted about this yesterday and today it already begins at midnight! So if you are crazy like me, load up your copy of Persona 3 in the middle of the night and start playing your first day. Afterwards talk about it in the forum thread.
I'm really happy that quite a few people actually have interest in joining in this.
If you didn't catch what this is all about and are too lazy to click any of the two links, here is what I wrote earlier:
After watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run videos on giantbomb every day, I had the crazy idea, that it would be fun to play through Persona 3 alongside the in-game calendar, that starts in the night of April 7th in 2009 and ends on January 31st 2010. But instead of doing this alone, maybe it would be fun to do it with multiple people. Everbody would play only up to the point, where the in-game date matches the actual date. Then they could post here about what they did or with whom they formed social links in the game. It would be really interesting to hear about the different ways of playing the game and discuss the current in-game events here.
Players, who were interested in Persona 3 but afraid of the enoramous time investment can use this as an easy way to finally play the game, because the playtime would be stretched out over almost 9 months resulting in only a few minutes every day. Players, who already finished the game, can replay the game by using the NewGame+ feature, enjoy the story and maybe help first time players, who are stuck in certain parts.
Would anybody like to participate in something like that?
I was thinking about it, but would I really have to start at midnight? I have a meeting tomorrow morning. I guess it doesn't matter that much as long as I keep the days accurate.
I think I may give this a try. My only problem is that when I get started, I'm not going to want to stop. Persona 3 is honestly one of my favorite games ever.

Stop making crappy excuses , everbody know that it's perfectly normal to take a PS3 and a 55" TV with you in a vacation , otehrwise you're not hardcore !
Oh, and I just thought of a problem - sometimes the game skips through several days in a row without being able to stop and save - like during exam week. What happens then? Do you play it all but then have to wait a week before playing again?
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Good luck to whoever takes on this challenge though!
Wait, am I actually be sad that I have to go on vacation instead of play Persona 3?
