Rident's GameBlast15
Fundraising for SpecialEffect
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am returning to participate in SpecialEffect's GameBlast15 event which is a 24 hour gaming marathon taking place between 20th and 22nd of February 2015.
Last year I participated and did a 24 hour stretch session playing through the Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider trilogy (Anniversary, Legend and Underworld) and managed to raise a whopping £250. Though 24 hours play was a real challenge to do, it was great fun, so I am delighted to be doing it all over again.
I will be extending my gaming beyond 24hrs and this is what I have planned:
- Saturday 7th/ Sunday 8th February:
Uncharted Trilogy - Monday 9th to Friday 13th February:
A Wolf Among Us (Episode per night) - Saturday 14th February:
Samurai Warriors 4 (6 hrs) - Saturday 14th February
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (PS3) (6 hrs) - Sunday 15th February:
Zone of the Enders HD (12 hrs) - Friday 23rd - Saturday 24th February
Tomb Raider (classic)
