I’m obsessed with video games. How obsessed? On Wednesday July 30th at roughly 10 p.m. GMT-7:00, I’ll be live blogging an entire 24-hour PixelJunk Eden marathon! SEEDING, YAY!


What to know:

- Where? 24-Hour PixelJunk Eden Marathon!

- “Are you serious?” Yes, I really will be playing PixelJunk Eden for 24-hours straight; with the exception of bathroom breaks, food, sugar induced hospitalization, and whatever else is crucial to my well being.

- I’ll be broadcasting using a Ustream account. I believe you’ll need one in order to chat.

- Feel free to ask gameplay questions, make requests, etc. That’s the whole point of live blogging this… Otherwise, I’d just play the game for 24-hours by myself.

- The game will be released on July 31st in Japan, which depending on the time of day, means the 30th for those of us in the United States. J-PSN updates are often sporadic, so I don’t know the exact time the game will be uploaded.

- Of course, this is all tentative to my school schedule. Expect the broadcast to happen -- it just might not be for a full 24-hours. Like I said, it all depends on my schooling. *shakes fist at responsibility*

- If I manage to get 100% on single player, including every trophy, I’ll stop before the 24-hour period ends.


For those interested, check back here on July 27th for all of the details.

Updated details:

I will be broadcasting the marathon at the usual time, but not for a full 24-hour period. However, I'll go as long as I can. Currently there are not enough people interested in the marathon, and well, I have school on Thursday -- the last day of school. So I can't exactly miss class.

Now before you go pointing fingers, my professor messed up the scheduling for the class, and I didn't know Thursday would be my last day until this week. College, right?

No picture-in-picture support. I've tried, trust me. I don't know how those other gaming marathons do it, but chances are they have a much better computer than I do or a better internet connection, or both. Apparently my core 2 duo, cable connection, and video capture card simply was not enough. Thus the marathon will be broadcasted via webcam.

Blame school and technology. I'll see you online!
