Its that time of year again and I've signed up for the second year running. Here's some details of... sorts.

Finding out what to play is going to be the tough part but I've got a couple of ideas. And yes, Bloodborne at half-speed is hypnotic.

Dates for your diary are the 5th / 6th November, starting at 9am GMT. (I arsed the date up on the video... bollocks)

Although fuck knows what the dollar to pound ratio's going to be in three weeks. :uhoh:

I'll have a watch. Give you some moral support as I can't give you any financial support.

As ever, Shindig: context?

Today I found out that there's an ESPORTS HERO called Shindigs

Cultivate your SEO brother.

edit: @Raoul, Shinners participates in the Giant Bomb Extra Life streams which is people committing feats of strength (in gaming terms) in exchange for their donations to charity. I think Shindig sticks to the usual 24 hour stream.

Shinners - what the fuck are you talking about?

It's a gaming marathon that takes place every November. I've signed up again because I feel like being nice.

Schedule 'sorted, not sorted' or whatever. Man, I can't commentate. And I breathe like a fat man.

About to get under way.

$100 makes the 24 hour stream next weekend happen and, so far, we're at $25. The community's already raised $105k which is really encouraging.

Good luck. Having done two 24 hour games marathons, I know it's tough. I couldn't have finished them without friends popping in and out, so doing it in your own must be REALLY hard going.

That's why I cut down to two 12 hour stints over the weekend. My commentary just died at 4am last year. Cheers for all popping in so far. Mad props.

After spending the weekend wiping out on the slopes in Infinite Air, being clobbered to bits in Bloodbourne, getting shot to pieces in Metal Gear and struggling to read a map in Firewatch, how did you do with the donations? Enough for another round next weekend?

Brilliant effort all the same.

Not even close. :D I opened things with a $25 donation and that's where it stayed. Decent weekend, though. Spent most of it with an audience and some were happy to chat.

Our oldest, Bryan just completed
a 24hr gaming event where his team of 7 raised over 2K for Children's Hospital The organization
is called Extra Life and is the second year they have participated. Great job to Bryan's team

Well done Bryan and his team.
