8Bit Proof Episode 06: The 24-Hour Gaming Marathon

Because he is such a selfless guy, our very own Francis wanted to celebrate his 30th birthday by helping children in need. So, with the help of Extra-Life.org, he and the rest of the 8Bit Proof crew put their minds and thumbs on the line as they attempted to play video games for 24 hours straight in order to raise money for the Boston Children Hospital. While this may not initially sound like a challenging endeavor, 24 hours of nonstop gaming is not something to be taken lightly. It’s a true test of dedication, will, and endurance. Lucky for you, as the hours grew long and our tempers grew short, we paused every so often to record a podcast. This episode features:

An attempted intervention to help Joe recognize his “loot addiction”.

A heavily fatigued, midnight game of “MasterDater”.

The audibly toxic results that occur when excessive booze, caffeine, junk food, and nicotine are inflicted upon the human body.

A disturbing segment on the topic of NARBs and pet care.

A delightfully gradual descent into madness, self-loathing, and contempt for all reality.

So were we all successful? Did anyone pass out? Did we become broken men that hated what we once loved, or could we have gone for another 24 hours? Tune into this week’s episode to find out all this and more.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil35d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai35d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6934d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle34d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal34d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa34d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal34d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
