Currently they are into their 3rd game "Link to the Past" and its been 12 hours and there on, quote "a good pace"

Also to add these guys aren't just random gamers, they have done there time in practicing for this MARATHON and its so far been a delight to watch.

I agree, not really ground breaking but at least it's for a good cause. I have worked outdoors for more than half my life (Yeah I'm getting old) and a cure for skin cancer would help me, I have had 6 spots cut out already, and lost 2 mates to it. Do yourself a favour and cover up because I'm not joking!!!
