Support Rick's Extra-Life day fund raiser for 2024!


Recommended Posts

We're about one month out from this year's Extra-Life day!

 

Hey there Intellivision nerd-friends!  It's that time of year again, when a lot of us gaming-hobbyists run an Extra-Life day gaming marathon to raise money for Children's Hospitals.

 

This will be my 10th year!  As is usual, I'm pretty confident that a lot of my gaming this year will be Intellivision focused because of all the new homebrews that are coming out.

 

As in the last few years, I'm planning to do two 12-hour marathons rather than one 24-hour one -- I just can't stay up for that long and be focused like I used to.  I'll be live-streaming on my youtube channel on November 2nd and 3rd, most likely from 8:00 or 9:00am until 8:00 or 9:00pm EST.

 

Anyway, I'd be thrilled if folks would donate to my campaign.  Again, it's for Children's Hospitals, specifically the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital in my case.  My campaign page where you can enter a donation is here: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=531030

 

My youtube channel where I should be streaming (barring some tech complications) is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/rickreynolds1969

 

Thanks to everyone in this community!

Day one of the gaming marathons is over!  We did 12 hours of Intellivision today.  Some Ghostbusters UE, Lode Runner, Norseman 2, Pyramid Warp, several of the pumpkin games, and a whole lot of Pandora Incident!  I had never played it and got into it and played until I finally beat it.  Only got 80% completion because I let one of the baddies live (at the end there I just ran for the exit!).  That game is really great.  No wonder it got GOTY.

 

We're halfway done.  12 more hours to go - should start around 8:00 or 9:00am EST tomorrow morning.

 

If you've been meaning to contribute to the campaign but haven't yet, maybe now's the time?  Not a big deal, you can contribute to the campaign anytime before the end of 2024.  But I'd love to hit my fundraising goal this weekend if possible.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow!

It's all done!  Thanks everyone!  It's going to take me a while just to process the thank-yous for all the donations that came in today!  We smashed through my $1500 goal and then went on past $2000!  That's extremely exciting!

 

My serious gratitude to this community for supporting me in this effort.  Here's looking forward to next year!
