GamesRadar's second annual 24 hour gaming marathon [UPDATE: It's on!]

Hey guys, let's play some games, again!

Words: on July 9, 2010

UPDATE: We've begun! Check out the live feed, take a pass at the schedule, and join us!

Please note that because XBL friends lists have a 100 friend maximum, we will be clearing them out off and on throughout the event.

What are you doing on August 20th? How about August 21st? It better not be showering, leaving your house, or anything else as callously wasteful, because GamesRadar's 24 hour marathon is back! We're closing out the long days of summer with a non-stop goof-about that begins at 5 p.m. PST on Friday, August 20th and doesn't stop until 5 p.m. the next day.

Play with us. Eat copious amounts of junk food with us. Defy your body's natural processes with us, and follow us on GamesRadar, Twitter, and YouTube as we document our downfall. Details below!

Gamertags and PSN IDs

So how are you going to join us in our quest to screen burn our eyeballs? This is how! Please note that, as Xbox Live only allows 100 friends, we'll likely clear out our Gamertag's friends lists before the event, so adding us now probably isn't going to help. Just take note, and we'll update you as we get closer to the event.

    Had a great time! Ended up playing with Mikel, Mike Grimm, Henry, Chris, Brett, T-Nag and Scott Butterworth. I was up for 37 hours straight by the time I went to bed (new record) and I played for the whole 24 hours during that. I then proceeded to sleep for 13 hours (another record).
    The comnversations I had, people I played with and games I played made those 24 hours fantastic! Thanks you so much, GamesRadar.
