As in last year, posting this 24 hours before so people who might be interested will have a bit of a heads up. So...

It begins  ...soon. :razz:


Or in a nutshell, a charity marathon where a bunch of people (mostly from the comedy group Loading Ready Run) play one of the worst/most boring games of all time while auctioning off unique (often geeky) items, singing, performing any challenges watchers give 'em and will have call-ins from people all 'round the world and so on. Good times and sleep-deprivation all around!

There's a schedule of guest call-ins and a constantly updating wiki page for the event.

New! They've added a master schedule which has times for call-ins, driver schedules, auctions and such. And speaking 'bout the drivers, here they are. :3

For what you might walk off with from the stream, have a look at the live auction items (These tend to go to several thousands per item), silent auction items (which'll just be auctioned on the webpage, off-stream, tend to be sold for cheaper) and giveaway items which usually are randomly given away for people who donate an exact amount (or multiple thereof) during a certain time period or for drawing/writing challenges (very cheap but you'll need plenty of luck and/or skill)

And yes, it's mostly a copypaste from last year's OP, so sue me. :razz:
 
Yeah. They have an arduino box between the controller and the Sega. By pressing a button they can make strange **** happen. Like remapping D-pad left and right to A and C buttons and same in reverse. That one caused the crash. Other effects are nonstop horn honking, autopilot and just reversed controls. There may be more modifiers.
 
After two crashes, just a touch late for 13:37 of driving, finally:

Bumpy. A bit late, but...

I'm looking forward to the latest rendition of Modern Major General
Will The Scientist Salarian do instead?

Also, current driver's bio :razz:



I certainly feel this might be relevant to local interests enough to make a quadpost (shall compress 'em into a single one later on, worry not).

Donate $8.87 (or a multiple of it for more chances to win) in the next hour and 20 mins and you'll have a chance to win Dark Link's Sword :grin:

Indeed.

Might do up a compilation post at some point.

Have slept 18.5 hours since Friday morning. Not feeling sleepy but body and mind are all exhausted and worn out. Shall rest for a while ->
