1UP Marathon 2019: 24 Hours of Gaming for Good

Only 12 hours to go until the start of this year’s 1UP Marathon, and I play Conan Exiles on PS4 for 24 hours raising money for charity, starting 8am 26 October (AEDT)

Thanks to all of you who replied to my last post with ideas & offers to join in, you’re all legends.

The untimely demise of the server I’d planned to play this out on (and the 4 cache bases filled floor to ceiling with building supplies, thralls, armour & weapons to avoid having to grind for anything on the day) was a bit of a setback, but I’ve found a new home in an awesome server with a great admin & crowd of players, and I’ve convinced some friends to swing pickaxes for me and built a (horrible) base to sally forth from over the day.

I’ll be posting updates on my progress and shoutouts to generous donators with screenshots of the pets they get named for them over at https://www.mycause.com.au/page/214129/team-exile and of course, if you’re so inclined you can donate! Feel free to throw out a challenge or ask anything you’ve ever wondered about the game; I’ve got plenty of time to get you an answer!

I’ll be streaming the whole 24 Hours on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfoR0PjB3r15fSLtR70LptA

Game on!

Just a little over half way through and oh, how we have laffed. And died. And botched a raiding attempt. And have donated!

Those who donate get to pick a Pet & name it, or have it named after them - here are the namesakes so far!






FIVE HOURS TO GO.

Raiding window is back up. Our brilliant Admin has an event ready to go come (my) 5am and things are about to get explodey.
