First 2 hours done.

Playing Mercenaries 2. Voice acting terrible. Game ok.

Half one and I'm playing Dead Space.

It's a bit tight with the health packs..

I'm listening to some rubbish from Kid A by Radiohead.

The fan on the 360 is giving it the beans so I'm going to switch to God of War 3 for a bit!

I'm having a cup of tea whilst playing Splinter Cell:Conviction.

Virtua Tennis 3 doesn't work either.. thanks for that GAME.. 50% Hit rate.

It's nearly 7 so that's a solid 12 hours..

Sadly two of the games don't work and I'm not really getting on with Mercenaries 2. It's a bit crap.

Right I'm just having a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast (gotta keep my strength up after all) and then back to the gaming!

I should've read the first page of this thread, because I didn't realise you were literally going to play games for 24 hours! EDIT: Oh, and just reading back through the posts on this page I've obviously been doing some pretty serious skim-reading there. Or maybe just not reading at all! :lol:

Anyway, well done ... don't think I could manage that ... have played Titan Quest for several hours today but I think 24 hours would be a bit too much for me!

Due to GAME letting me down with their dodgy (the only thing that's different is the price! apart from the fact that it doesn't work!) and somewhat shoddy second hand stock and the fact that ITV4 where showing the BTCC live on ITV4 I didn't game for the whole 24 hours this time.. but I did stay awake.

A brave effort in any case, and I suppose you could try again some time during Spring Bank Holiday! :)

Thats supremely unlucky more than anything. In all the pre-owned games i ever got, only Hells Highway didnt play.

The deputy dogs body in GAME cleaned the discs and Virtua Tennis 3 works a charm now.
