As we mentioned this week, some of the team will be participating in the Extra Life Video Game Marathon.

During that time we’ll be live-blogging via Cover It Live as we play for 24hours straight. Make sure you check back here starting at 8pm tonight (Friday, October 14th).

I would expect we’ll get really entertaining after the first 12 hours and case of beer.

Depending on what game we’re playing you’ll be able to find us on Xbox Live (gamertags: Racers BBQ / Bionic Capo) or PSN (PSN ids:  RacerXMG / NSFW). If you want to encourage us please send us a DM or you can follow us on Twitter  @TheMarkHorn, or @neil_houston . 

Of course its never too late to DONATE to Racer’s cause! or even DONATE to Bionic Capo’s cause (although we know Children’s Hospitals are funded plenty in Canada – socialized medicine and all).

This coming weekend, Mark (Racer), Neil (Capo) and Jon (FinFan) will be participating in the Extra Life Gaming Marathon for the Children’s Miracle Network.

The marathon will start at 8am on October 15th and end 24hrs later on October 16th.

We are hoping that getting the message out will encourage others in the community to participate or give. Here are a few ways you can help.

1)      Donate to one of the players.

2)      Suggest some songs for the guys to play for Rock Band.  Bonus points if convince Racer and Fin to get the Lady Gaga track packs.  Capo ,of course, already has them.

3)      Send us beer and Red Bull

4)      Play games with us.  Please add “Bionic Capo”, “Racers BBQ” and “FinFan” to your friends list.  We’ll play pretty much any of the major titles from the last two years.  Especially Red Dead Redemption.

5)      Keep reading our blog for updates.  With that much sleep deprivation and booze, something funny will be posted eventually.

6) Share this story online so that we ca get more people involve.

Finally, make sure you follow TCMN on Twitter and Facebook.

Happy gaming!

We had a blast this week! Hosted by Bionic Capo, and we welcomed a new member to the crew, Carlos!

During our “What we’re playing” segment, we heard about Jen’s disgust for Dead Island, Racer’s review of the Resistance 3 Doomsday Bundle, thoughts on The Gunstringer, and Carlos’ pile of shame.

With Gears of War 3 releasing on Tuesday, we discussed our plans (and snack choices!) for the launch of one of the most anticipated games this year. Racer and Bionic Capo mentioned their participation in Extra Life. And FinFan gave us his best Al Gore impression, discussing the impact of game discs and the environment.
