Citizens of Earth, I have an announcement! Tomorrow, web designer extraordinaire Alexis and I (Drew) will be playing Halo for 24 hours.

Woah! Why would a person do that?

For the kids, of course! Extra Life is a charity that benefits children's hospitals. Specifically, donations made to our Extra Life page will benefit Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland. Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids!

Crazy people.

That sounds great! How do I donate?

Go here! Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated!

When does the stream start?

Saturday, October 20 at 9am Pacific Time.

How do I watch it?

Go here when it starts!

What will you be playing, specifically?

Alexis and I will be playing co-op, attempting to get through the campaigns of Halo 1 & 2 on the original Xbox and Halo 3 on the Xbox 360.

What difficulty?

We want to make sure we get through all three campaigns in 24 hours, so probably not Legendary. We'll probably start on Normal, but if that's too easy we'll bump it up to Heroic.

What if you finish all the campaigns before the end of 24 hours?

Who knows? Maybe some multiplayer? Reach? We'll ask the chat!

Will the stream be archived on Giant Bomb?

Yes! Hopefully! We've never tried archiving 24 hours of video before, but we'll try.

Special guests?

Maybe!

Is this an Endurance Run?

What?

Join us tomorrow for some alien killing and planet saving, all in the name of helping kids! And don't forget to drop by the Giant Bomb Extra Life Team Page (spearheaded by our very own Matt Pascual) and check out what other GB users are streaming for their charities. They could use some help too! In the meantime, check out this rad video GB user Hamst3r made!
