Also, how many hours each?

We might have to go longer than 25 hours!

I am building in a 4 hour block of sleep from 4 am to 8 am, and then we will continue the marathon to noon on Sunday! Then we may have to hit restaurant to celebrate!

What do you guys think?

Like the idea. Anyone up for payday 2. I want to get the game but was wondering if anyone wanted to get the 4 pack and split it up amongst everyone.

I don't know if I can swing all 3 days for this. Plus, I was thinking about doing this like a true marathon. We start at 8 and go through till 4 am...Everyone.

Just a thought. Was wondering if anybody wanted to grill burgers and dogs when we do this event. Just a thought. Not sure what type of place this is.

I believe it's one of those so called fitness centers... were crazy people run on these endless stationary paths of various speeds and lift enormous amounts of weight just to put them down in the same spot 2 seconds later... Mind boggling place that people throw sums of money at just to avoid going...

Sure, I don't think they would mind a BBQ outside in the parking lot... tempting all those inside...

LOL!

Yeahhhhh. I don't think we'd be allowed to grill. But not for GTC's reasons. This is in a strip mall.

No back door or anything?

Anyway, beside the point. I don't think this needs to STRICTLY be a Video Gaming event... Let's throw in a few Board/Card games into the mix.

Yes...In fact...we are talking about "preloading" the hours required by starting Friday night with Board games from 7pm - 11pm.

This way we can get 4 hours in before the event...get some board games in...and maybe end AT 8:00am Sunday. This way we can wake, shower and hit a diner for breakfast as a group.

How does that sound?

I'm in for this!! And as far as tabletop games (board games/card games), well, I can probably put my hands on a game or two to bring along... ;-)

Seriously, any special requests for tabletops?

Aside from a D&D game, which will take to long, I want to play Ticket to Ride! I don't have it as a board game just in steam. I am also in for just about anything else! :) As long as you give me a tutorial during game play! :)
