A few folks have asked if I will be taking part in GamesRadar’s 24-Hour Gaming Marathon. This is the (apparently now) annual event wherein the editors, in an attempt to avoid creating new content for the website, have challenged themselves and their readers to stay up for 24 hours straight and play games. My name was brought up because multiple Activision games appear on the schedule.
So will I be there? Yes — not for the whole time, but I’m definitely good for two games at two different points of the shenanigans.
The event starts at 5pm Pacific on August 20th and — as the name suggests — goes through to the same time the next day. Modern Warfare 2 kicks off the whole event and returns again early Saturday morning. I’ve had several people ask when I’d be back online for an Modern Warfare 2 night, so let’s combine our forces and clog the servers. I’ll be online Friday August 20th from 5pm PT/8pm ET to 7pm PT/10pm ET in MW2. I will play on Xbox 360 because the last MW2 night I did was on PS3. Facebook event is here.
Blur is slated for hour 20. If only to see how the editors drive after 20 hours and no sleep, I can’t wait for this session. So look for me on Blur on Saturday August 21 at 1pm PT/4pm ET on PlayStation 3 because I just did a 360 Blur event last week, and hey, let’s be fair. Facebook event is here.
Hopefully this double-team-supreme will increase your chances of playing with someone…well, not famous, but vaguely recognizable. And you get to shoot us!
