This is the face of sadness. This sadness is because it's a month out and we're still a long way from our goal on dontations for Extra-Life's 24 hour gaming marathon this October 25th. What's Extra life you might say? I don't read the front page posts! Well, put simply, Extra-Life is a charity run by gamers to give money to local hospitals, and raised via gamers doing what we do best, gaming. Right now we have two members in our Extra-Life team attempting to each raise $1000 for Extra-Life and regardless will be streaming a 24 hour gaming marathon session on October 25th starting at 8am EST. How can you make a difference? By donating! Give what you can, do what you can! Here's the links for our three members so far: XoO Team Page - http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.teamParticipants&teamID=16490 KM - http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=89679 KM's Stream - http://twitch.tv/xookineticmedic Ooogie Boogie - http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=101152 Ooogie Boogie - http://twitch.TV/jordanml85 FinalD - http://www.extra-life.org/participant/Vbelt FinalD's Stream - http://www.twitch.tv/vbeltdrg So far we've raised $140. Now each member is also allowed to do things to raise funds however they choose, however I personally am doing the following. If the goal of $500 is reached, I will be playing through and streaming the original Mega Man games for your viewing pleasure. They were selected as something soul-crushingly hard for you to see me suffer though for your entertainment and good will. If the goal of $1000 is reached, I will be playing through "I wanna be the Guy" A PC game that actively and aggressively hates you. Please feel free to stipulate other gaming requests if you donate and I'll accommodate which ever I can. If anyone donates $1337 dollars I will find and play Hello Kitty Island Adventure if I have to do so to please you. So make your donations and give kids in hospitals something to take their mind off the fact that they are stuck there, and make your buddy KM suffer in the process. Also if you want to join the team you are welcome to do so, just let me know and I'll be happy to add you to the post. The link for the team is here: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.teamParticipants&teamID=16490 -KM
Woohoo!!! Thank you to whomever just donated! We just got our first $100 donation!

A few Updates folks: 1. We have a new team member (tell me your XoO name and I'll add you link). 2. Our collective total is now up to $250. 3. I'm adding a few new incentives to donate. See the next post. -KM
So we've managed to hit the $250 mark in our campaign for $1000 donated to the Extra-Life Charity. That's awesome, but we can go further! To sweeten the pot and entice folks to donate I'm putting up the following list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qh3LmUd_y54mNurOWf3mSoIwghJ9Eh26hLl3TuDHYCs/edit?usp=sharing Donate at least $5 and you can have your pick of any of the games in my list via the digital service listed next to it. I'll even allow you to pick more than one for each multiple of $5 you donate! Hopefully this will help entice you to push our donation total higher and closer to our major goals of $500 - Original Mega Man games playthrough and $1000 I Wanna Be The Guy - The Endless Suffering of one KM. In addition I am happy to announce for our streaming play through we will have DinosaurUnicorn doing a play through of Hatoful Boyfriend, the Dating Sim where you attend a school entirely populated by Pigeons because Japan. We also may have thearchimage doing a play through of Dead Space, or some other Survival Horror game that he hasn't played yet, because his screams are delicious So open up those wallets wide and donate to the cause, and we'll be streaming live on October 25th from 8am to 8am the next day for your viewing pleasure! Donations can be made via the links in the original post. If you want one of the games listed in the spreadsheet above, just let me know and how much you donated and I'll make it happen. That also applies to any previous donations if they so wish.
That new member is me. http://www.extra-life.org/participant/Vbelt I have been streaming on a bi-daily basis each night. So look forward to some Dungeons and various DOTA2 matches. As an addendum, you can watch my streams at: http://www.twitch.tv/vbeltdrg For donations I will be taking requests. I will play a few games or even subject fellow FFXIV player Sir Dreizor to horror games (His screams are the best)
It has happened! We've broken the $500 mark collectively folks! Pile on in and keep giving! We can do it!
We have officially broken the $1k mark in our goal to raise funds for the Extra-Life Charity event, however we've still got a ways to go to reach $1k per member participating. The event itself is tomorrow starting at 8am EST so make sure to tune into our streams. So if you are willing, here's the link to the team page, pick one of us and donate what you can, let's make that number soar!
