The 72-hour “Let’s Play for Child’s Play II” marathon is being co-organized  by one of our contributors Matthew Paxton. The marathon will be taking place May 6th until May 9th. Not only will the participants be raising money for charity but attempting to become Guinness World record holders for their specific games. Paxton himself will be attempting the Guinness world record for the longest video game marathon playing Mario.  Click through the link below to check out the live stream and to donate. Also, a very special call into the event will be happening at 7 PM EST tomorrow.

 

On May 5th 2012, a group of friends based out of Longwood University tried to break two Guinness World Records, but they were soundly defeated. A year later, starting on May 6th, 2013, Matt, Will, Jeanne, and Dan return to take on new Guinness World Records for their chance for redemption.It’s not all about the records. Just like last year, the LPCP crew will be raising money for Child’s Play Charity, a charity organization that raises money for books, toys, movies, and games for children’s hospitals around the world. We have hand-made crafts ready to go to the home of the lucky winners of our live-auctions!

During the attempts the crew will have call-ins such as Jamie Dillion of Child’s Play Charity, James Higginbotham of PNM, and Brittney, “Chiki” Fischer of the D20 Girls.

These people will also be answering your questions. Just go to the call-in page on our website, and type in your question. When the person calls in, we will be asking him/her your question over the live-stream.

There are also challenge-achievements, challenges the players have to perform after a certain amount of money is raised. These can be performed by players and helpers alike.
