On Friday, April the 24th, Bobby Thornbody and I will be doing a joint gaming marathon stream on Tigerdile to help raise money for two people with severe financial problems.

I will be raising money for yaegashi, who can never seem to get his head above water, despite his best efforts. He has recently relocated and should be able to find steady income soon, but could really use the help. I have already given him a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money to help out (ask me privately if you really need to know) but I really would like to raise a lot more to help him out.

Bobby will be raising money for his "brother", Steve, who was just recently released from prison, and due to the stupid rules that he has to stay in a certain area, but there is no facility available for him to stay there, is sleeping on the street until other arrangements can be made. He could really use the financial help to get back on his feet.

So, here's the deal. Starting at noon EDT on that day, we will begin doing a dual stream on Tigerdile, my new streaming home. We'll start off with a game we will be playing together, and every two hours, we will change, probably to separate games. You can turn on the sound for either stream to hear just that game (or both if you have the mind to comprehend that) and eventually we will play another game together, etc.

We will be going for a minimum of 8 hours (noon to 8PM EDT) and for every 20 dollars we raise, we will add another hour, up to four additional hours (8PM-Midnight EDT). After that, it goes up to $30 per additional hour, for the next four hours (Midnight to 4AM), then $40 per additional hour for the next four hours (4AM to 8AM) then $50 per additional hour for the last four hours (8AM-noon). 24 hours is the limit (we have to sleep, you know). In addition, we will be switching off to take breaks, use the bathroom, get noms etc., but there will always be at least one of us gaming at any time.

Each of us will be listing the games that we have that we are willing to play. When we finish one game we will take votes on which game we play next. Whatever you want us to play, we will play if we have it, for one or two hours. Majority rules.

EXCEPT for two games: Bobby has reserved Five Nights At Freddies, because he HATES jump scare games, and I have reserved Mirror's Edge because I suck at...jump games, which this is a jump game. If specially earmarked donations to get us to play those games hits $100 total, we will play them for an hour, and you can point and laugh.

If there is a game you would like us to spend some time playing, but we don't have, we will play it, as long as you gift it to us on Steam, and contribute $5 (specially earmarked). Obviously, since our time is limited, we can only take a certain number of gifts, but that option will be there.

As usual the clever banter between Bobby and I will be present, and we hope to entertain you enough so you throw lots and lots of money our way.

If we go the entire 24 hours, we will raise $560. Amounts above that will earn our extreme gratitude, but 24 hours is our limit. Proceeds will be split 50/50 between Yaegashi and Steve. Throw enough money at us, and we'll consider doing it again.

If you so desire, you can begin making donations via Paypal to dipper.bear [at] att.net right now. Be sure to add a note if you want us to play either Five Nights At Freddy's or Mirror's Edge.
