That’s right! We’re back for year two. And we’ll be doing things a little differently this time around:

1. We’re quintupling our goal! With your help last year we were able to top our $1,000 goal and reach $1,100, with donations coming from as far as Finland and Australia. This year, we feel confident that we can reach $5,000. That means that…
2. We’re extending the event! Last year took place over two days in two 9-ish hour shifts. This year, we are doing a non-stop marathon over three days. Which finally means that…
3. We’re adding more games! Now not only do you get to see us play Amnesia (we wanted to do something special with it this year, more on this later), but we’ll be adding a huge list of the scariest games that you never wanted to play. We’re still in the planning stages at this moment, but soon you’ll see a list the games as well as an hourly calendar of events.

We hope to make year’s event bigger and better than last year’s. Expect some great games, familiar faces, and unforgettable scares. Stay tuned for more info, and make sure to follow us on Twitter for the must up-to-date news regarding S2C!

Keep on scarin’,

We cut down 8 hours of footage into 8 minutes of traumatic comedy.  Enjoy!

We’re working on Tim’s night right now.  Hopefully you’ll see it soon.

Hey Everyone,

Tim and I are still working on all of the footage from the event, and will definitely have something to show soon.  However until that time, you can enjoy an interview we did with Tom from GameMarathons.com!

Hey everyone, Vernon here.

I just finished Amnesia: the Dark Descent a few minutes ago.  I completed the game at 2:15 AM with a total playtime of 8 hours and 15 minutes.  Tomorrow night starting at 6 PM PDT, Tim will start Amnesia again and try to beat my playtime.

Today we raised over $500 for camp to bring us to a grand total of $814.  This puts us $186 away from our goal of $1000.  Hopefully we can reach it during Tim’s playthrough.

I’ll try to throw together a video or two in the morning of one of the scares.  Hopefully it’ll drum up a little more interest in our event.

Thanks again to everyone who helped out tonight, especially the people who helped me get through the harder puzzles.  See ya tomorrow!

Firstly, S2C spent a very small amount of time on the front page of r/gaming on Reddit.  As a person who spends 90% of his internet time on this website, I’d like to say that this is a huge honor.  Thanks for the support, Reddit!

Secondly, S2C was featured in several great gaming blogs: Joystiq, Ripten, and Next Life Gaming.  I’d like to take this moment to thank the gaming news media for helping us to spread the word.

The event starts tomorrow at 6PM.  Super stoked.

Great news everyone!

We’re adding a new incentive to donate to our event.  If you donate, you will get special access to an IRC channel specifically dedicated to helping the Scare-er scare the Scare-ee.

That makes sense, right?

It should add some extra comedy to the event.

Also I’ve added a press page to the site.  Please, please write about us.
