Think this post might have been deleted during the server troubles, and I'm halfway to raising my target so going to hit you up with more pleas (please ignore if you read it the first time)!

Will be doing a 24hr gaming marathon from 8am on Saturday October 8th in support of Edinburgh Sick Kids (http://www.edinburghsickkids.org/), and will probably set up a webcam to confirm I'm not cheating by kipping on the job.

Also, I'm keen on maybe picking out an old classic to play from start to finish for part of it, am open to suggestions what that should be. Otherwise I'll just play Max Payne. Again.

So, if you want to, pop over to http://www.justgiving.com/Keith-Thorburn and give some cash to a good cause!

Cheers!

I, Cosh

If you can complete G Police in 24 hours I will give you a hundred quid!

Planning any online sessions during it? I'd be up for giving you a hiding at Tekken or whatever.
We never really die.

Think I tried a demo of G Police when it came out (had to watch a youtube video to refresh my memory) but never got the game. I take it it's pretty good?

I'd be well up for some online, don't have Tekken but do have a few MP games. Mainly the usual suspects (Gears, L4D, Dead Space 2, Borderlands, AvP). PS3-wise I've got Uncharted 2 which I hear is great online but I've never tried it.

I might actually play through Dredd vs Death or Rogue Trooper just to give things a toothy flavour :) There's a lot of options and the more I think about them the shorter 24hrs seems.

I've hit my target of £100 for this! Would be nice to push it even higher, so if anyone wants to throw a wee bit of spare cash at a good cause please do!

Game-wise I've got a loose collection mapped out that I'll be playing, namely;

Fable 2 (a couple of hours from the end on this so want to get it done)
Portal 2 (the missus is keen to try and finish the co-op, plus it'll give her something to do!)
Something horror-based for the night portion (thinking Resi 4 maybe)
Gears 3 (a bit of co-op and multiplayer on that I think)
Uncharted 2 (I've never played the co-op and a friend who's doing the marathon has suggested we team up on that!)
Warioware Smooth Moves (gotta get a wii game in there now and then to force me to move a little)

And, I'm planning for the middle chunk to play through something from the back catalogue from start to finish. So far I'm thinking either Dredd Vs Death, Rogue Trooper or The Punisher, and can't quite decide which. What do you guys reckon?

So far it's going really well, I'd set my target at £100 and am sitting at £155 right now :)

Also have a loose schedule forming as a colleague is also taking part and some others are jumping in to lend some multiplayer morale boosting! It's loose, but the plan is (with some Portal 2 co-op with the missus slotted in somewhere and some Warioware Smooth Moves every few hours)...

8am - 11am Get Fable 2 finished (been meaning to do that for ages...)
11am - 2pm Dredd Vs Death
2pm - 4pm Left 4 Dead MP session
4pm - 7pm Dredd Vs Death
7pm - 9pm Borderlands MP session
9pm - 12am Gears of War 3 MP session
12am onwards Resident Evil (retro spooky time...)

Will be streaming the gaming on webcam at http://www.livestream.com/superbeasto and you can still donate at https://www.justgiving.com/Keith-Thorburn.

Cheers!
