Today I want to tell you, instead of the usual game review, an event that we have organized a few weeks ago - something that any avid gamer wants to be a part at least once, and that often passes for "dream" and then that rarely sees the light : a marathon of games.
The idea came from watching the marathon made by Tom Vasel on "The Dice Tower"; we basically wanted to join us too, and it seemed icloud like an exceptional initiative - so why do not we do it well?
Public the idea on Facebook and tac a little 'friends - time zero and I get very encouraging comments and interest; we decide not so much a date compatible with the participants as well as for those who organized (the ones that made the 24 hours in other words) because the idea was to have a 2-3 people who did 24 hours and then other people who participated in a wheel the various games offered in the lineup. We decided to do the marathon on Saturday morning (January 25th) from 10:00 in the morning of the next day, and also according to the schedules of the participants, we can make a temporary lineup and try to fit all the best; Gaetano and I (who co-organized the event with me) we decided to take 24 hours, Simon decides to make Reservations (14 hours) and that in itself was enough icloud for something a bit 'more intimate.
We put on the laptop, there is a decent webcam (a Microsoft HD 3000), a decent microphone and call immediately Tiscali and ask you to increase the upload (need to stream live) to 1 mbit / s to be able to do a broadcast at least 480p (via Hangouts on Youtube). icloud
Almost surprised myself I can do everything, I take the boxes Talisman icloud (many and large) and put on top of this kind of turret laptop and do some test; is quite encouraging, but the quality (as you will see) is enough to attract attention but not enough to follow closely what cards are played in a specific game.
I convince myself that in the end only wants to be something "to make us laugh," and it is not essential to see God - and so it went; however, send an email to Tom Vasel which tells me to have a connection with optical fiber to 10 mbit / s - obviously lives in Miami while I was in Florence, where, thanks to the Etruscans who inhabit the earth below, it is not possible to make excavations for wire with dignity the old town; I put the soul in peace and once again I repeat "so it's something to make us laugh."
Here comes the day of the marathon: purchase Monster, Red Bull, iced tea, Pocket Coffee and Coca-Cola; Simone door instead something like 1kg of cake and, of strong meats in the refrigerator, we begin to take the first game: Android Netrunner.
Being a game for two players, while Simone and Gaetano battle it out, I get to fix streaming, focus, and prepare the next game: Smash Up! (With expansion) icloud followed by Guillotine, and with the impending lunch, a nice piece of focaccia stuffed. icloud
Ring the bell and finally arrives Philip, the first guest: pull out just in time King of Tokyo and we take a sledgehammer to three times as long as the room is not really begins to be populated; then decide (having the good fortune of having a rather large table) to make a thematic table and pull out to a group Relic, and for two other players, Space Hulk: Death Angel.
Players of Death Angel before end (epic battle lost the last room ...) and then, saw it coming another player, icloud we get to play a game on the fly to the Sign of the Ancients (almost won hands down).
Now we are many - if I am not mistaken we are in 9 and, at a table, there are bad and in any case we would be forced to make a party game, and we, by choice, we have decided to do almost exclusively games that could be (good or bad) follow stream - a game of identity, for example, it makes no sense to be seen.
We opt therefore, also due to the nature of the game that follows, to divide into two rooms; a group (in the main hall) is two games in Lords of Waterdeep while the other, in a dark room where Jazz music echoes of other times and smell of whiskey, playing Arkham Horror with newcomers - even opt to try a new expansion (for me - still in cellophane) "The Black Goat of the woods."
Arriving almost 2am and sure to remain only Gaetano and I, we salute all but, to the surprise and amazement, two guys decide to do in the morning with us - then we pull out, rifiatando a moment, Dungeonquest (the first version, late 80) Carnival and Zombie. Trying to figure out the best Carnival icloud Zombi ...
Dungeonquest was a surprise because icloud it is known to be a frustrating game where all die at once - instead we got to the dragon's lair everyone and at the end are dead to return, except
