Official 24 Hours of RBI Thread

[TempoGL]

so i'm flying out to Minnesota on Monday until Thursday.  sometime in this span, Nacho and I WILL attempt 24 hours of RBI with no naps/subs.  He doesn't know what the situation in his new apartment will be until sometime tomorrow, so I need to be prepared to get a hotel room if necessary.  I am posting this thread so that others may help me with planning, in case I forget things. 

Crucial points:

- I need to remember to bring the NES on the plane with me...obviously I am checking my baggage

- If a hotel room is necessary, I need to get one with a fridge in it, we are going to need plenty of liquid refreshment

- I'm not really sure what to do about food at this point, I was thinking something like pizza would work.  It's high in carbs to give us energy, and can be eaten fairly easily while playing NES

- Since I lost my digital camera at Chadonis' wedding (more accurately, i left it in the pocket of my tuxedo and then my friends who were going to return it to me lost it, but either way) I will be taking pics(?) of this even with my camera phone. 

While we will lose some picture quality due to the phone, it does enable me to quickly email the pics(?) to someone to post them on dee-nee.  I'd like to get a few email addresses of people who will be around dee-nee at various points in the day so that we can get a lot of updates onto the site as quickly as possible.

any other things i need to plan for?

Get one of those tubes that truck drivers have so you don't have to stop for urine breaks.

[TβG]

i hope this attempt will be drug free.

[JoeDirt]

too bad you can't take pics? and send them via email while playing rbi...therefore making the entire event invalid.

Quit being a dick head, Joe.

Hey that's Ryno's line!

[Mr. Blubbo]

I didn't like your use of the word, "attempt".

As in the words of the great Yoda: 

"Do, or do not...there is no try."

[Reds]

This is never gonna happen.


[/motivation]

And if by some happenstance it does....I'm gonna find a way to top it.

isn't rbi considered a drug?

[Briznock]

How about we go to four corners and play 24 hours of RBI again, only this time we each sit in a different state, and the TV sits in one and the NES sits in one?

Or I was thinking maybe we could attempt to play an entire 7 game series while holding in an enima? 

Come on buddy, we can find a way.....

BTW, 24 hours of RBI with 2 ppl and no breaks is going to be impossible......

God Speed gentlemen....

[Nacho]

I'm moving up to Minneapolis tomorrow... This is gonna be a hectic week between moving, orientation for school, and skipping orientation for 24 hours of RBI.

[TempoGL]

i feel ya.  i'm working mad hours in the next few days, then i go to minnesota for four days, then come back and work as much as humanly possible before the end of the month, then i have to move as well.  i can't wait to get sleep in like two and a half weeks.

[Nacho]

I just got here about two hours ago.  Conversation between my roommate (who I met for the second time just two hours ago):

Nacho: Just so you know, I've got a friend coming into town on Monday.
Roommate: No problem.
Nacho: Did you ever have a Nintendo when you were a kid?
Roommate: My friends did.
Nacho: Did you ever play RBI?
Roommate: Not sure... maybe.
Nacho: Well, my friend and I are planning to play it for 24 straight hours, without stopping.
(silence)
Nacho: So... That's... That's what we do.
Roommate: Do you think you can make it the whole 24 hours?
Nacho: Well, our internet friends made it, but they had three of them, and chicks to bring them food.
(silence)

[JoeDirt]

What circumstances do you have a roommate that you don't really know (guessing school)?

[Nacho]

What circumstances do you have a roommate that you don't really know (guessing school)?

Yeah, I moved here to go to grad school and I didn't know anyone who lived in Minneapolis save for one guy, who knew someone who needed a roommate.

[JoeDirt]

Too bad Kirby died.

[TempoGL]

do you think your roommate will find me more normal than he would have expected, or less normal?

[Nacho]

do you think your roommate will find me more normal than he would have expected, or less normal?

Not sure.  Probably less.  He's pretty vanilla.

[TempoGL]

hey, PM me your address in minnesota when you get a chance...i have some research to do for this week

[TempoGL]

OK, so as of now we are probably going to start at about 6 AM on our quest.  I am about to look at finding a hotel room, because Nacho's roommate doesn't do anything but sit on the couch, and he will probably be annoyed by any noise whatsoever.  Any change/update in plans will be mentioned here.  and anyone who wants to assist in helping make this a frequency updated occurence, please PM me your email address.
