My resolution this year is simple, just like last year; make the world a better place, even if it's in small ways.

For the past two times in 2016 and 2021, my Extra Life fundraising efforts have been focused on the 24-hour Game Day, which this year falls on November 5th.

Well, it's been five years since I've last attempted to livestream for 24 hours for the Extra Life charity. With my improved setup, I've decided to do so again.

Seeing as how I have not regularly livestreamed since 2009, last time I set a donation goal of $100, and we ended up smashing that, due to the crazy generosity of some of my readers here, ending our stream at the 18-hour mark with $379.

You'd best believe I'm going for gold this year!

Turns out when you upgrade to a 4K monitor, you have to re-enter a lot of streaming info into OBS.

I have also made a decision of what I will be playing on Saturday, November 5th, starting at or very close to 8:00 am.

The 'Master Chief Saga' playlist in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Two, apparently.

I'm assuming a shipping error. But thanks again to everyone that donated last year, and here's to this year!

Split-second power outage due to high winds in the middle of Halo 2 brought an end to my LiveSplit time.

Two down, two to go.

Remember, highest Fimfiction donor gets a possible story commission.

Extra-Life.org - Halo 3

I have a shortlist of artists in the fandom that I like to commission every now and then. But I also like to support new artists when and where I can. So Sky Scribbles got a snazzy new scarf today!

Who wants to see me play Cursed Halo for the very first time? Thinking about streaming tomorrow.

I've heard about this crazy, inane mod for Halo Custom Edition for a year, and I've finally got it working.

Anyone want to see it?

And it's time! My attempt at 25 hours of Halo to raise money for Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.

Happy Sunday, everypony!

After a rough, mostly restless night, and spending that restless period cleaning the kitchen that had gotten away from me for the past few days, I've been trying to figure out when and how I want to try streaming semi-regularly again, without taking too much time away from writing.

I believe I'm going to try to do so with Sonic Origins late next week, which comes out on Thursday for the franchise's 31st anniversary.

Well, after planning, preparing, and lining up schedules, it's looking like my Hot Ones Challenge is happening tomorrow evening.

After that, I'm hoping it won't take very long to edit into something watchable. I figured this way was better than doing a spice challenge live for Extra Life 2021, where I hastily angled my webcam and it was 20 minutes of my stomach and the table.

Well, Extra Life 2023 is in just under three weeks, and I've spent most of today practicing the games I'm going to marathon, as well as finalizing my food and drinks.

I intend to continue my soda fast (110 days and counting!), so I'll be doing water and if I need caffeine, cold brew coffee. Snack-wise, I'm planning on bananas (potassium) and dark chocolate (again, for the small amount of caffeine).

More than a week early, too.

Now to get some wings, set up a spot to film, and line up the free time of the co-workers who want to come host/be here for this donor-inflicted culinary torture.

Last time I had an Extra Life donation incentive, I had completely forgot to post it until I was reminded that I hadn't.

So just keeping you folks updated; I won't have my donors think I'm not a man of my word.

The hot sauces have been ordered.

Well, I'm going to try my hardest to get a chapter update out by tonight, because I'm going to hopefully be able to get a solid night's sleep before things kick off at 8 AM EST.

At that point, I'll be trying my best to do 25 hours of Halo. I'll be posting blog updates throughout the day, likely when I complete a game and go onto the next one, along with links to watch and donate.

For a couple reasons.

First, the leak. Until all four final episodes have aired, either here or across the pond, I want to make sure I don't run into any spoilers. When I've watched all four remaining episodes in order, I'll be back.

Special thanks to Phazon for reminding me that I had not uploaded this yet.

Took me an hour to edit and splice down, because my streaming partner wouldn't pull his damn pants up, and I'm not interested in showing you folks plumber's crack.

But here it is, because I'm pretty sure only 2 people saw it live.

This year I will pick something a bit more... Sensible.

I am open to suggestions.

We're almost right on schedule at the moment. Sonic Delta complete at the 5-hour mark.

Freedom Planet up next!

Thanks for watching and donating if you are able!

I'm nearly 2/3 of the way to $1k, thank you to everyone who has donated so far, especially Phazon, who is looking to be the high donor yet again!

Freedom Planet 2 is up next, and will undoubtedly take us into late-night, so this may be the last blog of the afternoon and evening.

Thanks for watching and donating if you can!

Good morning, awesome people!

It's Game Day!

We're starting off with Sonic Delta Reloaded, a fanhack that crams the first four Sonic games into one.

Once again, 100% of donations go to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis! This year, it's a bit tougher; money's been tighter for everyone, and I'm starting Game Day at just 20% of the way there instead of 70%.
