20th, 2008. The Event was called "Gamers Give Back", and benefits
Garden City's Santaland Parade. 10 brave local gamers attempted to
play videogames for 72 hours straight, and collected pledges from
friends and family as donations.

Find the g8tr, win fabulous prizes!

also faux 2 news
 
I'm going to take a random guess, one of the guys with over 60hrs?

I could never do that. I'd probably get bored after 24.
 
I second that guess and demand fabulous prizes.

Seriously, though, that's pretty awesome. I mean... you were provided with food (mmm, pizza), a comfy sofa, for the sole purpose of playing video games guilt-free for seventy-two hours straight (in theory) and raising money for charity by doing so? That sounds like a damned good deal to me.

Any restrictions on what you were allowed to play? Had I been taking part, I would have had a good stab at the full three days straight with pretty much any heap of games I had to hand (I'm easily amused like that), but sit me in front of a computer with the WoW client installed and you'd need a crowbar to prise me out of that chair even after the seventy second hour. Sad but true.

In short: sweeet. I am somewhat jealous.
 
The fabulous prize is that you are allowed to behold my beautiful visage whenever you desire. :B

Also, my secret weapon for staying up all 72 hours was in fact, WoW. I just didn't count on how comfortable that damned couch was going to feel after the 60th hour.

I did that once just for the sake of having the house to myself.

Nice one, g8tr. 65:30 is a good time. I think I'd last about 50 hours with coffee.
 
I could likely last between 25 hours and 30 hours if given coffee and a very scary game to play :D

Congrats, Feralig8tr!
 
I probably could've done a lot better if I had had an energy drink somewhere along the line. :V Oh well.
