Steph

From MGM 2018:

Steph Fan

The first time Steph had ever heard of the Metal Gear Marathon was on a first date in 2015. Two years later, in a baffling chain of events, she hard about the marathon on another first date. Some would find this odd. Stephanie would take this as a sign that she could not escape from crossing fate.

If anyone had stopped her on her way to meeting either of these nerds and warned her that there would come a day when she would be directly involved, nay, enthusiastically participating in the multi-day stunt-eating charity video game festival, she would have kept walking and pretended to receive a phone call. Which is the strategy she also employs to escape canvassers.

This year she is both terrified and thrilled to be part of the first ever co-ed marathon. Though her only experience playing anything from the Metal Gear franchise is her dad’s copy of MGS once on a CRT television for about 30 minutes, she is excited to play, drink, or eat anything tossed her way. She also hopes not to almost send Mike to the hospital this year.
