Official 24 Hours of RBI Thread

[TbT]

i say this was a success.  60 games is a great accomplishment.

they didnt reach the desired goal, but damn, they have set the benchmark for goreds and briz to shoot for.

i can see this being a heated competition as 2 individuals try and test thier limits to beat this record.

Did one of you use Ho only and the other Sl only?  If so, who was who?

[broiler]

To all of the naysayers, I tell you to play ten games of RBI in a row.  Then repeat five more times.  See if you can go any further.  It is just too hard.

try thinking about naked grandmothers and it will soften up

This is Nacho (on Strassy account again).  I was SL, Strassy was Ho.  Yes, I realize SL is better than Ho (in most people's opinion).  Strassy is good at utilizing Ho's bench, and he is great with Nolan Ryan.  On top of that, I lost the first seven games while I was trying to get my bearings, so that hurt me a ton.



Sixty games is definitely beatable, but there is no question in our minds that we could have topped 24 hours if we'd had a third man in the rotation.  It just wasn't in the stars to go the full 24 on this occasion with two men.

[JoeDirt]

Okay, that tells us quite a bit right there....that's why I asked.

[nomaaa]

this is funny, because we are disappointed that they played 14 hours and 49 minutes of a video game, but not in the normal way people are disappointed that people would play a game for 14 hours and 49 minutes.

[Gantry]

Wasn't meant to be...  But still, 60 games of RBI in a row has to be a record so you guys are still winners in my book. 

[Nails]

Impressive feat.  I think my thumbs would start to bleed after game five.

Next time, I would recommend hiring hookers to break the monotony, as well as achieve two goals at once.

nacho...let's try this again in may.  what do you say?  i'll eat some hay.  okay!

Likewise, Octo.

What was the pattern here anyhow? 3 games an hour?

I figure we could set up a webcam for like justin.tv or whatever for verification, a cigarette break an hour, not start drinking until about hour 20, play 7 game series.

I'm kinda excited just thinking about doing this.

[TempoGL]

basically, as soon as one game was over, we moved onto the next one. The only stopping we did was for bathroom breaks.

[Attezz]

Well, both me and Octo enjoy peeing outside, so cigarette breaks can certainly be considered bathroom breaks.

I was actually justing thinking about this a few days ago.  Weird.  May is a possibility.  We should be able to beat 70.  Last time I forgot my phone and drove all the way back home from the hotel, and it killed like an hour.  We must persevere.

[ultimate7]

fail

[TempoGL]

Nacho and I are talking about trying again once he gets back from Germany.  We figure if we try in Chicago, we'll have more of a support network than we did last time (which was no support network).  Plus, there's nothing cooler than two guys in their 30s playing Nintendo for 24 straight hours.

[fathedX]

I approve

[BeefMaster]

As do I.  Go for it!

[fightonusc]

Please livestream this groundbreaking achievement.

[Gantry]

Would attend, and fetch fresh beverages

[fightonusc]

Sounds like a fest in the making
