Extra Life 2018
7 years ago
General
Hey everyone! If you recall, last year I took part in a charity event called Extra Life. Gamers from all over the country each do a 24-hour game stream and ask viewers to donate money, which goes to local children’s hospitals. As someone who has family members who have benefited from this kind of thing, I would love to try to give something back!
My wife and I will both be participating this year. I know I’m starting the advertising for this a bit late; I actually wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to participate due to some other plans. But those plans fell through, so now I’m free for it again!
I won’t attempt to do a consecutive 24-hour stream; instead I’ll split it up over four days. I’ll start on the evening of the 1st of November and play several hours. Then I’ll do 8 hours on both the 2nd and 3rd (which is technically “game day”), and finish up whatever remaining hours I have on the 4th.
If you’re willing and able, please visit my donation page to give whatever you can! Even a little bit helps. And if you can’t donate (because honestly, in today’s economy, that’s completely understandable) you’re still more than welcome to join me in the stream!
For anyone who hasn’t come to one of my gaming streams before, be aware that I’m not a professional streamer nor really even an expert gamer. I approach game streaming as the digital version of “hanging out on the couch and chatting while gaming” that I used to do with my friends when I was younger. I tend to take games leisurely, and will pause often to chat with friends or whoever wants to talk (I’m planning on using voice chat, too, though I may not have it on 100% of the time.) If I can figure it out, I may also have a multi-stream link with my mate set up so you can watch both our streams at once! (She’ll be playing visual novels and Stardew Valley!)
Games that may show up during the stream:
Monster Hunter World
Undertale (I’ve played this before)
Hollow Knight (I haven’t played this one!)
Stardew Valley (Haven’t played this either!)
World of Warcraft
Armello
Thank you so much for your time, and I hope to see you in the stream! Perhaps you can volunteer as a gamer fuel snack. ^_^

I swear I saw something like this before... in any case I am glad you are doing this. Enjoy the stream!

Well, I did do it last year! And I'm sure there are other events that are like it. I hope to see you there!

You both gonna use the stream avatar things?

~rabbitinafoxden
OP
The rigged avatar was cool, but really tricky to set up and hampered by the fact that I don't have a good webcam. I might look into setting it up again in the future, but I won't be using it this time.

I actually played a bit of the first Dark Souls back in when it was relatively new-ish and I wasn't a huge fan.

I think splitting it up like that could be very beneficial for you.:3 Anyhow, hope it goes well for ya.<3

Yeah, I've tried to do actual 24-hour stream things like that before and it didn't go well. Better for my health to split it up!
