    This is right where my mid-term exams are, so I'll have to see about doing it another time.

    Does this smell like chloroform to you?

    I've found the best way to raise money is through social media - Facebook, Twitter, etc, and posting your fundraising link on your status. It takes a little work to get donations, but hey, you get to play games for 24 hours after, and it helps sick kids, so it is worth it!

But it is worth it, I might want to get a few more games ready for the stream and work out what I'm gonna play during it soon laugh

    This year has been so tough to raise money but hopefully it all comes together near the end. I'm planning to film the entire 25 hours of both my self and my gameplay and mashing it all together in a quick video. Should be cool.

While it's really fun to go for the 24 hours during the same time period everyone else is doing it, Extra-Life is aware that sometimes this doesn't work for everyone because of prior commitments and allow people to pick the times and dates that work for you. If you can't get 24 hours in a row in, no worries. Get as much as you can done and 'make up' the rest when you can. The point is to make a commitment, raise awareness and money for kids in hospitals, and then follow through with your commitment. Extra Life keeps the when and how very open, thankfully.

    I doubt I will be able to raise any funds since I am now broke most of my friends are broke and the ones willing to donate money to good causes probably wouldn't listen since video games are attached to it. I do however want to make myself available to anyone who needs somebody to game with if I have the game I will love to help boost or whatever feel free to add me.

    I'm going to see what I can do as far as participating goes.
    I call this my fortress of being alone by myself!

    Received over $200 in donations and my free tshirt is on the way for more advertising for this year and next years event! Also, I saw someone at work had posted flyers with extra life information on them and the peel off tabs to donate to his page. I wish I had thought of the idea and he received a fair bit of donations because of it. Keep working at it people! We are 1/3rd of the way to our goal!

    I am sad to be missing out on Extra Life this year. Unfortunately I will be somewhere in India at the time, without access to my gaming devices. The things we do for work. Sigh.
    We don't stop playing because we get old; we grow old because we stop playing.

    I just redeemed the code for my extra life tshirt its odd.. seems they DON'T ship to the UK so I have had to ask an American friend If I can have it sent to his so he can send it here :P
    But yes I love raising money to help this epic charity $322 so far and counting also overall as a team (The E L Gamers) we have raised over $500. Thanks to my team mates for the support and thanks to everyone who have donated to me so far. I love you all! Lets crank it up since we only have around 3 weeks left... :P I wan't to raise as much as possible for this cause! Also well done to everyone who has commented on the money you have raised. Nice work
