Story

Hi all,

 On the fifth year anniversary of the last time we did this we are going to redo the MGS Marathon.48 hours of MG action!

Traditionally this is done for charity.  For those of you who don't know Ben's step brother has diabetes and frankly he's been able to use that as an excuse for far too long :D. So it's time to kick the shit out of it with research.

For those of you who weren't around last time, or had forgotten. Ben, Mike and Tom play all the MGS games sequentially until a set amount of time is up. We can't pause or have a break between games. We each do three hour shifts, the only acceptable reason to stop playing is to go to the toilet. Two of us have to be awake at all times so no one has to go solo.  Apart from answering the door/bathroom we can't leave the room (thankfully a bit bigger this time).

Might not sound too hard sitting around playing games that you like for a couple of days. But think about it, 48 hours in the same room, not being able to leave with the same people continually repeating the same tasks. Last time it got... weird.

For entertainment value the whole thing will be streamed and there will be a chat function (once we set it up) so please watch for a giggle at how stupid we are and also to keep us company as things get weird. :D. So if you've got a spare half hour, or you come home and you're drunk sign on.

Anyone at a loss of what to do that weekend feel free to  pop in, we're at Ben's house (message us for the address), company and/or resupply would be greatly appreciated.

 So if we've entertained you, or you just don't like diabetes, donate!

And remember... in some ways we're doing this for Ben's Brooootherrrrrrr!?!?!
