MARATHON UPDATE
5 years ago
<=--=--=.o Derp o.=--=--=>
Hey guys, so a big update. Thanks to some very generous friends, we have actually made our goal already XD
HOWEVER
I am still going ahead with the marathon, and as promised, I WILL play through ALL the standard Half Life games, AND all the way through Half-Life Alyx as well! We are still looking for donations, and the goal is still $750 BECAUSE as mentioned in my previous journal, this was to help us get caught up and not to actually cover the rent for next month. Since we are now caught up, the goal now is to cover next month's rent before it is due/late. If we reach our goal, we have a massive headstart covering May's rent and getting Kittybird a new phone. If we make more, that's great, we may not even have to worry about May's rent at all. And if we make less than our goal, we will still have fun gaming together :3
Since we've already reached our original stretch goal, I'm setting a new one. If we hit an additional $750 before I finish playing through Alyx, I will play Doom Eternal after I finish Alyx. That's right, Doom Eternal. It's not a half life game, of course, but it is a new installment to a very classic franchise that I have the ability to play for you all. And it should be hilarious because by then I'll be really tired XD
SO the plan is to start on Friday April 24th at 12pm CST. I will start with Black Mesa and continue until I finish the game (with the occasional bathroom break, or whatever). After this I will take a two hour break, during which
kittybird will take over and play one of her games. The games she plays will be determined by those present in the stream with her, probably based on donations.
Then I will play through Half Life 2, take another break, then I will play BOTH episode 1 and 2, then another break, and finally Alyx. IF we hit $750 before I finish, then I will take one more break before I start Doom Eternal. Depending on where we are with donations, I may or may not actually finish Doom Eternal. If things are still popping and we're still getting donations and I do not feel like I'm physically going to die if I keep gaming, I will keep playing. But we will have to see.
We're looking at probably a couple of days straight of me playing these games for you guys, so lets get those donations rolling in! Can't donate? Spread the word! Retweet, repost, tell your friends! We're gonna have fun, and I want you all to be there! <3<3<3<3
