ZEKE VS. GAMES
A DIARY OF GAMES PLAYED WITH ONE CAVEAT: WHEN YOU DIE, IT'S OVER.
I ran a website called Iron Man Mode way back in 2013 as a charity project. People liked the writing and the sense of jeopardy - there were no do-overs here. Once you die in the game, the save files are deleted and the blog ends.
It raised over $4,200 for Child's Play charity during its run. Here's the archive - pick a game you like, and join me on an adventure to see how far we get with just one life.
