Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

Ok so here is what I have planned for my 24 hour game marathon.

I joined Extra Life a month or two ago, I did it because playing video games is great and so is helping children, so I decided to join up. I have never played video games for 24 hours before, I've not even stayed up for 24 hours before, so it will be an interesting experience. It's going to be one of those things I can mark off my life goals book, "Stay Up for 24 hours" and "Stay up for 24 hour...

I joined Extra Life a month or two ago, I did it because playing video games is great and so is helping children, so I decided to join up. I have never played video games for 24 hours before, I've not even stayed up for 24 hours before, so it will be an interesting experience. It's going to be one of those things I can mark off my life goals book, "Stay Up for 24 hours" and "Stay up for 24 hours playing video games". So I joined up without an idea of what to play now, I have an idea and I want to share this with you.

  • Banjo-Kazooie - I think I'm going to end the day with this, I will leave myself enough time to finish Banjo-Kazooie. And when I mean finish I mean 100% complete, I can usually get it done in less than 5 hours, but thats with me taking breaks and doing it over the course of a few days. I'll leave myself 6 hours so I'll start at 12, but still I will be tired as hell and my brain will have melted by then.
  • Tiny Toon Adventures Buster Busts Loose - I may end up finishing this too, it's a short enough game that will kill an hour or two.
  • Skyrim - I've wanted a chance to sit down and play some more Skyrim recently, this will be a good chance for me to do that.
  • Borderlands 2 - I just so happen to be playing this game right now, so I'll be playing some of this. I will want to play some of it online with friends so if you want to my PSN is Hizang.
  • Pokemon White Version 2 - I'm playing this currently, this will be a good game to play as I wake up, laying in bed playing Pokemon.
  • Super Mario 64 - I'm hemming and hawing about how much I'm going to play of this game, I know I want to finish it, but I don't know whether I should 100% it or just get enough stars to get to Bowser. 100% is now problem, but its a time factor I'm worried about.

Thats all I have right now, I'm sure I will play more on the day but right now this will do. What I do need is donations, so far I have about £50 from family and friends, but so far I have zero online donations. I'm not asking for much, but a £1/$1 from each of my followers would be $220, thats a whole lot of money for the kids. I will not be streaming my marathon but I will be posting at least 2 tweets and hour, so hey follow me on Twitter.

My Donation Page + The Giant Bomb Donation Page.

If you donate money of any amount to me, i will be grateful. in fact if you send me more than $2 I will send you video game chat up one liners in a Giant Bomb PM. So yes, INCENTIVE! Oh and instead of 8-8 I am doing 6-6, it just seems like that would be easier seeing as I get up at 6 anyway.
