The weekend draws nearer, and I’m trying to hammer out some kind of firm plans for what I’ll be playing for 24 hours (for the kids!–please donate). I feel like if I don’t at least have a tentative schedule I’ll just flail about aimlessly and spend more time trying to find something to play than actually playing. It’s nice to have things to look forward to, which is why I’m putting Deus Ex: GOTY edition later on in the schedule. Ideally, I’m hoping to play each game for at least an hour, though some games might not demand such devotion, and others might suck me in for longer. We’ll see.
Gaze upon the plan, which could–and most likely will–change as everything goes down:
- HOUR 1: Aquaria
- HOUR 2: Hack, Slash, Loot
- HOUR 3: Legend of Grimrock
- HOUR 4: You Have To Win the Game
- HOUR 5: The Tiny Bang Story
- HOUR 6: Botanicula
- HOUR 7: DragonSphere
- HOUR 8: FTL: Faster Than Light
- HOUR 9: Gunpoint
- HOUR 10: Krater
- HOUR 11: To the Moon
- HOUR 12: Proteus
- HOUR 13: Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
- HOUR 14: SteamWorld Dig
- HOUR 15: Eschalon: Book II
- HOUR 16: Lone Survivor: Director’s Cut
- HOUR 17: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- HOUR 18: Titan Quest
- HOUR 19: System Shock 2
- HOUR 20: Papers, Please
- HOUR 21: Tiny Barbarian
- HOUR 22: WHATEVER KEEPS ME AWAKE
- HOUR 23: WHATEVER KEEPS ME AWAKE
- HOUR 24: WHATEVER KEEPS ME AWAKE
EDIT: I expect to start streaming 9 AM Saturday, October 25, and won’t stop playing games until 9 AM Sunday, October 26.
Other games in my Steam library that I’ll dabble in if not everything above takes an hour to play or keeps me entertained enough, especially during the wee early hours of Sunday morning:
- Crayon Physics Deluxe
- Delve Deeper
- Jolly Rover
- Maniac Mansion Deluxe
- Might & Magic: Duel of Champions
- Offspring Fling!
- Snapshot
- Teenagent
- Tobias and the Dark Scepters
- …and more!!!
If I get tired of streaming from the laptop, I’ll turn to my consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 2) and a comfy couch, with a few goals in mind:
- Hit level 70 with Whisper, my demon hunter in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (Xbox 360)
- Start a “hardcore” run for Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox 360)
- Um, Dark Souls? (Xbox 360)
- Maybe I’ll finally do some alchemy in Ni no Kuni (PlayStation 3)
- Recruit more peeps in Suikoden II now that I got my castle (PlayStation 2)
Alas, none of the above console stuff can be streamed, so I’m hesitant to do it, as I feel like being “on camera” is part of the whole Extra Life experience thing. Regardless, I have plenty of games to keep me entertained through the night. I just hope I have the endurance as well. Please tune in when you can!
