Well ladies and gentlemen we are quickly approaching zero hour. With only 3 weeks left before we start playing things are getting crazy around here as we try and make sure this is going to be the best year yet. First and formost I want to thank everyone that has already donated to the event. The fact that we have raised over 2500.oo dollars in the past 6 weeks is awesome. We are extremely excited to see what we can achieve this year. Thankfully for myself Operation Kill James is looking less and less likely as the days pass by, but the offer still stands. If 10,000 dollars can be raised by the end of my first shift (November 20th @ 10:00pm) then I will play an addition 8 hours.
I want to also give a big thanks to the guys over at http://gamemarathons.com/ for the linkage they have provided us. Make sure to check them out if you are big fans of what we do here as they have the low down on all the major gaming marathons.
So what do we have planned for you this year might you ask?
We have partnered with The Escapist Magazine, Oni Press, Hothead games and Harmonix. And we are still waiting to hear back from other companies.
Penn and Teller will continue to support us in their own unique way. We can expect call in’s from Yahtzee, Wil Wheaton and Jonathon Coulton along with others yet to be confirmed.
We will be again auctioning off prizes this year provided by the names you see above along with anything else we can get our hands on between now and then.
We continue to have full support from the guys and Penny-Arcade and you can expect to see their very own Kristin Lindsay driving the bus this year when she makes her way over to our neck of the woods. As well, Woody Tondorf our friend and creator of popular web series The Elevator.
As you can see we are working really hard to make this an event to remember. And trust me when I say we are doing our best to get as many people involved this year as possible, so check back often over the next 3 weeks to see what else we have in store for you guys.
