LegoMan1031 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd definitely like to join you next year, fyi. I'm excellent at staying awake and have good experience of playing games for far too many hours. Then you are qualified! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Then you are qualified! yeah what he said...trust me though 24 hours is more gruelling than you'd think....I was fine until about the 18 hour mark and then it felt brutal and time slowed right down...

jayseven Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 ok well I think we will start to think about where people are in the country and what the spreads like around the country....I'm more than happy to host and even started to think of ways to cram more tvs in my lounge...I think I could accomodate a few more. Obviously if other people wanna start opening up their places that would be great. I guess seperate North and South groups could be an option... I'm always willing to travel anywhere from anywhere, but I agree! Next year it'd be great to have several gigs going on at once. I've played Fallout 3 for 18 hours straight before, I think mixing the games up would keep me on form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to start getting some planning done already! I've got a post-event treat for you btw! My total is now at $130.23 thanks to another $24 donation Just got £5 off a colleague as well so total keeps going up. We are now at $474.73 as a team which is fantastic. I genuninely think we can really make a push for the $500 mark so lets do it please if you havn't donated please do watch the youtube video and see that we actually did sit there EDIT: Ok so now I'm at work and gobsmacked! I just put on another $15 from work and that coupled with another donation for mike (i think) has sent us shooting straight past $500 to $513! Incredible stuff cannot believe how much money we made!!! Edited October 19, 2010 by flameboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played Fallout 3 for 18 hours straight before, I think mixing the games up would keep me on form! Well your up here so making it here would be ok. I've totally thought of ways to accomodate at least another two "gaming stations" in my lounge. Moving the sofa will work wonders and free up another whole wall?! I'm defintely up for it. Sleeping could be a problem but we will work something out.... I'm based right down south in Hampshire, it's a 4 hour drive to you guys. Like I said hopefully we can get a north and south team going. If not though hell come up the night before etc...Goafer did it he was a 3 hour drive. Where in Hampshire?! It's where I'm from originally.

Sleeping could be a problem but we will work something out.... Technically there would be extra space for sleeping, providing ppl don't mind sharing rooms! Like maybe moving the double bed in ur second bedroom to a side wall creating space for a sleeping bag to fit etc etc Anything is possible! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping bag could fit in my room as well...so thats like what 5 people.... I've thought if I moved my sofa to infront of the window that frees up that whole wall for 2 maybe 3 game stations... Anyway we now up to $528 I just put another donation on... I'm defo up for hosting it and I know you wanna come back cos of the pizza place! Ok jayseven if you wanna come up from Brighton thats cool!

My buzz from it has somewhat worn off and now I am back in the daily grind of Real Life 2010 crazy to think it only happened a week ago. I was considering putting in some overtime this weekend as its catch up weekend for those who didn't manage it last weekend. However had a mental week at work and need sleep.

LegoMan1031 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 SUPER BUMP Sorry for bumping but i wanted to share an image of a t-shirt i got today from America for raising over the set amount and didn't feel it warranted it's own thread! It's got me excited for taking part at the end of the year again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
