DUDERS,

GIANT BOMB COMMUNITY ENDURANCE RUN 2’ - HYPER RUNNING IS A THING!

More than an hundred years have passed since the first King of Endurance Run Tournament was held. The participants shattered the backs of Xbox 360 launch titles, survival horror trilogies, genre spoofs, speedrunning, and crippling design bugs. Those who survived have spent the past months studying under various masters of video game lore, preparing their bodies and minds for the day when they would be called once again to soar with the eagles, Charlie Tunoku, Francis York Morgan, Francis Zach Morgan, and Brono.

Let's be honest here: Brono ain't got nothin' on Bucketz.
Let's be honest here: Brono ain't got nothin' on Bucketz.

Well guess what, sonny jim, we’re back! and this time we’re playing for keeps. We’re getting the band back together to Endure the crap out of a tidy fistful of games, while taking donations for Child’s Play! Last time we held such an event, we managed to surpass $1,200 in sixty hours! That’s all well and good, but we are some stakes-raisings SOBs.

Remember @amlabella’s heart-attack inducing race against the clock to finish Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines at the end of the last event? The passcode on the door from that glitched-out nightmare of a section? That’s right...

WE AIM TO RAISE $7337 IN TWO DAYS!

Just what will we be playing? We're not gonna show all of our cards just yet, but here's a sampling:

  • Phantasy Star II with @jeffrud and @goodspaceguy!
  • Cthulhu Saves the World with @amlabella!
  • GTA: Vice City with @chavtheworld!
  • Resident Evil 4 with @JTB123!
  • A perfectly normal man?
We can't guarantee more hot invisible taxi action, but we'll try.
We can't guarantee more hot invisible taxi action, but we'll try.

Swing by our home page at midnight, 26 October, and prepare to have your face melted hard, a lot!

_____________________________________________________________________

(P.S. Wanna be involved? We’d be interested in chatting with you, ESPECIALLY if you are from Oceania/Australasia. Send @jeffrud or @fattony12000 a message and we’ll see what can be done XOXOXO)

(P.S.S. Here's a handy list of what we actually managed to beat in the first event. I'll be updating this as we continue to hold these <3<3<3)

@jiggajoe14: As it turns out (after hiring an outside research firm to look into it), roughly 100% of kids are at least "pretty cool". We're all pretty stoked to help make their hospital stays a little more liveable.

As built by the stunning @chaser324, and as mucked around with a little bit by me. Not everyone's streams are on the Big Wall O' Streams yet, but will be very soon.

@ramone: The encouragement will be mutual, hopefully, as I'm currently in email conversation about getting some pretty dope prizes secured for the most fervent weirdos in the chat!

This seems like a great cause, but it might be worth considering doing a bit of clean up work on the original post. The way it's structured with random font changes, bold and underlines is a bit off putting for what you are hoping to accomplish. I only say that because I think this is a worthy topic that deserves more attention, but certain elements of that first post may drive some people away.

@wolfgame: I appreciate the feedback! I made one or two small changes already, basically to get the tl;dr version of events as clear as possible to people who don't like to read words. We're glad there's a little heat on this thing already, and anything we can do to crank it up to about twelve glasphillion is worth doing.

@chavtheworld: There ain't no speedrun derailings like GTA derailings, because GTA derailings are merciless RNG bastards. At least you'll have Spandau Ballet to keep you company during your "Gold" run. Do you get it?

@jeffrud: No. But yes. Also, I will be making the radio I listen to for the duration of the run a donation incentive. So we need to get people to vote with their charity dollaz for that shit.

@sinusoidal: That would be me. I'm...concerned about the ways the run could fall apart. At least the soundtrack is a BANGER.

We already had Patrick come by for a Skype call, and now we have Phantasm Star II, Penny Arcade games and Spelunk LIVE for the children! Swing by - and look forward to sub 2 hour Dark Souls and GTA Vice City.

For the Vice City run we are taking donations to vote on the radio station I will listen to for the whole run! So put in your donation comment the station of your choice :D
