We're doing it again, folks! Destructoid has teamed up with LoveSac to hold the second annual LoveSac Speedrun Classic! The tournament will visit Boston area malls, movie theaters and Best Buy locations letting gamers of all ages compete for the fastest times in a selection of retro games.
The 3-week competition starts on September 29 and the grand finale takes place at Showcase Live on October 20. Finalists will go head-to-head on the big screen in order to win a golden PowerGlove Trophy, LoveSac t-shirt and a limited edition Pwnage PillowSac adorned with 8-bit graphics, retro color scheme and the legendary Konami Code.
So which games will be available to play? That's up to you, community! People will be competing in four classic NES games and you get to decide which games those will be from the list below! The final game selections will be announced on Monday the 20 on LoveSac’s Facebook page and right here on Dtoid.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
