Have you ever wanted to do something that you thought was crazy for a good cause? Well… doing something absolutely crazy when it comes to gaming is what I do best.
We’re happy to announce that Machinima Live will be hosting a live-streamed charity event to raise funds for continued relief efforts in Japan: I (Fidget Frag Doll) and Treyarch community manager JD_2020 will attempt a world record non-stop Call of Duty: Black Ops marathon for Play for Japan! We will be needing your help!
We are going to be playing Call of Duty Black Ops for 2 DAYS straight for this charity. Yes, that isn’t a typo, two whole days with no sleep. All proceeds from this event will benefit the American Red Cross relief efforts in Japan, which are still in full effect today. While the tragic disaster may seem like “old news” to some, there are still those in dire need, so we’re asking for your help.
ALL donations for this event should be made here: Play4Japan. No matter what amount is donated, it will be greatly appreciated.
This is our official account, and will be where we draw winners from for giveaways while Josh Olin and I are playing Black Ops. So if you want a great chance at winning awesome prizes and swag, you’ll want to make sure you donate there.

During this event we will be playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer. So the game modes will be endless, some CTF, Demolition, Headquarters and who knows some TDM might be in order. As the hours progress, you might even see us bust out the noob tubes due to sleep depravation, psychological exhaustion, and hand cramping. Just be ready for some entertainment on the live stream, because you never know what might happen....some angry raging might happen, more on Fidget’s side most likely.
To be prepared for the long haul of epic gaming, a good sleep cycle will be very important before the event. Always make sure you get plenty of sleep beforehand, more like 8 hours a night starting out a week beforehand. Eating healthy is another important issue, so fruits and vegetables are vital for natural energy, rather than coffee and energy drinks that will make you crash horribly.
We will be giving away various Black Ops / Frag Dolls / Machinima related prizes all throughout the marathon, but you’ll have to tune-in to find out how to win! Spoiler Alert: donating to the cause will increase your odds drastically of winning a prize!
The marathon will begin Friday, May 20th at 12:00 noon PST. It will run for as long as Fidget and JD_2020 can last.
The live stream will be broadcast on Machinima Live and Youtube.com/Machinima Phoenix will also be broadcasting from Justin.tv/fragdolls
Yes, this will be a world record attempt… For legal reasons we can’t say which world record outlet, but it’s a *pretty* big one
. We’ll be collecting data and staffing witnesses to submit all appropriate evidence to hopefully secure the world record for “Longest First Person Shooter Marathon.”
The rules, in a nutshell, are: Must play a single, non-stop session of gaming, with the following exceptions: 10 minute “rest periods” are accrued for every 1 hour of consecutive gaming. These rest periods can be “banked” to take a longer break, such as a 60 minute break, as long as you play for 6 hours consecutively. Load screens and lobby intermissions do not count against your record, so long as no further human interaction is required to get the round to start.
We are professional insomniacs! Please do not attempt this marathon at home. Your participation in the event should only be through donation. Please donate HERE if you want to contribute.
