Mariothon II: The Secret of the Ooze

Last year, these 4 guys in Indiana decided to sit down at their television for an entire weekend and play every traditional Mario game back to back to back. Now this would have gone down as usual nerd stuff except for the fact that they decided to stream it. Okay its still normal nerd stuff. But they also took donations, 100% of the proceeds of which went to a charity you might be familiar with. Its also worth noting that they raised $12,000 dollars for the said event.

Well this year they're down a player, but still reaching for the stars (HA HA GET IT) and with a goal somewhere near $100,000 it seems.

What: Mario Marathon for Child's Play
Where: http://www.mariomarathon.com/
When: Starts Friday, July 10th @ 9AM ET

So I thought this deserved a thread since I remembered Gabe or Tycho linking it on the front page last year.

    Nah. I wish I'd thought of it, seeing as I lack $12,000 in funds to donate on my own.

    EDIT: Just appreciatin'. And notifying. As it is coming alarmingly soon.

    I guess I could take time out of my busy child strangling scheduled and pay attention to this.

    At first I thought this was just Mario Twins 1-3 and then World and I wasn't sure how this could take more than a day.
