It has been a few days since the marathon. We are older (my birthday was monday), wiser, and we can now reflect back on what was largely a positive experience. What did we learn?
- A marathon is much easier when you have a broad selection of relatively new and exciting games on a relatively new and exciting system.
- Universal voice chat available across games makes it much easier to communicate and coordinate the gaming session
- No matter what FPS you are playing, the quality of the players greatly decreases in the wee hours of the morning.
- Racing games are just damn fun. Racing games were you blow stuff up are even more damn fun.
- Who thought a game of Hearts could get your adrenaline flowing! Shoot the moon baby! Shoot the sun!
- Achievments are probably the greatest invention gaming has ever seen.
- Don't eat all your beef jerky in the first few hours...
I am sure there are more that Fatty Chubs can fill in... If you want to replay the entire event, start with Hour Number 1 and page forward:
