From the gleaming gates of heaven, stood five handsome young men. Locks so fine that not even Samson could beat, a demeanour that sang graceful in a lullaby so sweet, not even bees top it.
And the Lord said, 'I bestow to you a quest, which is thee to take and to conquer in thy name for thy heart.'
One of the men stood forward and knelt before the Lord, 'Oh gracious and generous Lord, what is thy quest, which has been offered by Him in his entirety?'
'I ask of thou to endure four and twenty hours of gaming!' The gallant and prestigious young men widened their eyes in disbelief. The Lord, allowing for this pause to favour intended effect, spoke again. 'Without the taste of sleep.'
Silence followed, only the angelic music coming from within the promised realm could be heard.
'... Really?' The forth most man quickly looked back at his companions, who had begun waver.
'But Lord,' A sharp eye pierced his confidence, 'No man has ever done such a feat. Only the secretive race of Nerds who dwell upon Earth ever go on these tasks to prove their adulthood.'
The Lord rose. 'Oh honoured follower, only those who explore the possibilities in all of life and embrace them as their own, or at least taste, will obtain true wisdom.'
And with such epic words, the five stood together once more. Controllers in hands and Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations in the other, they marched forth into the unknown...
I wish I could tell you this whole thing was as epic as that, but in reality. We sat on our behinds watching (high resolution) pixels on the screen, working with only finger and thumb muscles, laughing at the odd internet meme or death on Minecraft. And I am so tired.
Good night.
Daniel
