Extra Life Charity Event

Alright, I admit I'm new here. Although I've been to PAX two years running, I've never signed up for the forums. If anyone here saw a girl dressed up as PaRappa the Rapper the first day, that's me.

I read through the forum rules and I'm pretty sure what I'm doing is allowed, though I may get some grief for it.

I wanted to post about the Extra Life Charity event that his happening right now. Jim Sterling of Destructoid.com is playing SingStar for charity for 24 hours--if he manages to raise $5,000. All of this of course is being live streamed for your viewing pleasure.

It would be awesome if people could donate money to this great cause (if you haven't already of course). We have currently raised almost $2,000, with Codemasters generously donating another $1,000 to the cause.

Again, sorry if this might be considered spam. I just wanted to get there word out there about this event. Even if you don't want to donate, feel free to watch the live stream. I think there are around 130 people in there now. You've already missed Jim "singing" Tutti Fruitti in the Liquid Snake voice; don't miss anymore of this priceless entertainment :)

    This sounds like a good idea with a bad execution. People want to see marathon runs of things like the elder scrolls series, or every mario game, or zelda game. Now that would be something I want to see someone try to get through every elder scrolls game in like 48 hours.

    I'd donate for that.

    In the future, I would advise running this by the mods before posting. That being said, if I wasn't fucking broke, I would totally donate. It sounds like fun.

    Haha well, we're hoping that as he gets more and more inebriated, the entertainment value will increase exponentially :)

    That probably would have been a good idea ;_; Sorry. If they feel like it's a problem, of course they're at liberty to take down or lock the thread.

    Yess! That is totally me! I sang White Wedding on the Rock Band 2 stage as well :)

    I cosplayed as Yukari from P3 the second day, but only until 4 because it was very cold.

    I'M NOT FA..

    oh in the picture

    Good luck with this, hope you manage to raise the money. As others have said, it's best to ask one of the mods if this kind of thing is okay before doing it, though.

    That guy is doing a great job of looking a bit drunk. He needs to drink even more, and pass out in a glorious drunken charity failure.

    Edit: Spitfire, nice!
