So it’s all over (at least for this year!). Thanks again to everyone who supported me in 24 Games in 24 Hours, the good news is that I raised a total of $913. The entire Second Life campaign this year generated over $140,000 for the kids who need it.
What surprised me was how much fun Samba Di Amigo was…but I never need to play Pole Position again 
Just about to try and get a good night’s sleep before starting 24 Games in 24 Hours bright and early tomorrow morning. Firstly a massive thanks to everyone who contributed, the current total is just over $900 which is way beyond what I had hoped for going into this. There are some reasonably famous gaming glitterati playing tomorrow who haven’t raised nearly as much…so I’m very excited to be able to help out the hospital in such a big way.
Secondly, I’ve filled in the couple of unclaimed slots in the schedule so head over there to see the final list. It’s an interesting mix of the old and new (including some VERY old!) which should keep things interesting. I do have a special place in my heart for those kind individuals who put rhythm games after midnight though!
Finally, if the gods of the interwebs are smiling on us you should be able to watch live via UStream. The page for the stream is here. There should be a chatroom there which I’ll pay occasional attention too as well. Of course, myself and Jackie will be posting throughout the day to Facebook and Twitter (@adamreeve, @jackiereeve). And if you’re in the area – swing by for cake.
See you on the other side!
It’s time for me to get in training for the 24 Games in 24 Hours marathon. Lots of endurance work (staying up late), caffeine tolerance reduction (stop drinking tea for a week to get maximum effect on the day) and of course some gaming practice. Got up to speed on Pain and Wipeout HD today, but I really need to work on my COD4 multiplayer or I’m going to get royally creamed during that hour.
Anyhow, if you want to donate but haven’t yet – it’s not too late! Just head over to the sponsorship page and sign up.
So thanks to yet more generous donations I’ve passed the $500 mark in sponsorship for 24 Games in 24 Hours. Wanted to say thanks again to everyone who’s helped out, and remind anyone who hasn’t yet that it’s not too late!
Amazingly enough I’m now getting close to my extended fund raising target – so far you guys & gals have donated a whopping $417, which is very exciting – THANK YOU! This also means the schedule is filling up (almost half gone already). If you want the chance to pick one of the games I’ll be playing you’d better hurry up. Remember you can sponsor me for any amount you like but you only get to pick a game for $1/hour or above. Seeing as that’s half the fun, you know what to do
