drunk octopus
wants to fight you


I noticed there wasn't an Extra Life thread on the forum, so I thought I'd put one together real quick.

What is Extra Life?

"Extra Life unites thousands of players around the world in a 24-hour fundraising and gaming marathon to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised more than $30 million for sick and injured kids."

When is Extra Life

The official day of participation for streaming is Saturday, November 4th. However, I (and a lot of folks) do our playing whenever we can and often in much smaller chunks. As long as you get your game in before the end of year, you're golden.

How can I help?

Want to sign up to play games yourself? Visit this link right here: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=register.start&eventID=534

What can I play?

That's entirely up to you. RPGs, MMOs, modern shooters, classic games, weird anime bs, or just record you a bunch of friends playing D&D. It's entirely your decision.

What if I want to help but I don't want to play myself?

That's where the rest of us come in. I'm inviting all Extra Life streamers to post their play times and details below. Visit these pages to make a donation or just give a few words of support.

Guess I'll kick things off by putting my money where my mouth is.

I can't speak for the rest of you, but I'm helping my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Children's National, because I know what it's like to be in a waiting room at 3 AM with a terrifyingly sick infant. I know what it's like to see that thermometer readout hit 105 and be stricken by a fear more real, more tangible than anything you've ever felt in your whole life. This is my second year playing in Extra Life, and I've been a supporter of the cause going back at least two more before that. Because how could I not?

This Sunday night, November 5th, I'll be playing games with my sister starting at 7pm ET to hopefully raise a little money for the hospital that even now fields my panicky dad calls whenever my son has a sniffle. If you want to help, please consider dropping by to watch some drunken Divinity: Original Sin II followed by our weekly scary games session including Home Sweet Home, Doki Doki Literature Club, Welcome to the Game, and more.

How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?


Crossposting from the stream thread:

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:

I am also taking part in Extra Life, playing Command Modern Air/Naval Operations, the Yankee Team 1966 scenario in real time from 1800 GMT (turn of the hour from this post) for 24 hours, with other side games during lulls in the action, roughly scheduled thusly:

18- 22 - Bomber Crew
22-1 AM - Pre-recorded LP of Diaspora (Two repeated showings, sorry, this was to cover a disruption in my schedule and the recording ended up shorter than expected. Full game though!)
1-9 - Rule the Waves (easiest to show alongside CMANO at its busiest)
9-12- Hidden Agenda
12-15 - King of Dragon Pass
15-18 - Ultimate General: Civil War
