72 Hours Remain Hosting Marathon for Child’s Play

Over the next three days, the fine folks at 72 Hours Remain are punishing themselves for the greater good.  Hosting a gaming marathon inspired by the 72 hours of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, the team will be playing a plethora of games over the next few days in efforts to raise donations for Child’s Play, a charity devoted to providing games, movies, and toys to hospitalized children around the globe.

From 6AM August 13th (THAT’S TODAY!) until 6AM August 16th, the group will play and complete classics like Shadow of the Colossus, ActRaiser, Wind Waker, Pikmin and more as they aim to beat last year’s total of $1500 donated.  At key intervals, specific secret “events” will take place, hopefully prolonging the length of time the team will play.

The entire marathon can be watched live on their website, via Ustream.
