It's a twiiisst

Hello internet. Our team has tweaked the list and come up with the final roster of games!

Nintendo 64
Super Mario 64
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong Racing
Pokemon Snap

GameCube
Crystal Chronicles
Pac-Man World 2
The Simpsons Hit & Run

Wii
Twilight Princess
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Okami
Brawl Subspace Emissary
Mario Galaxy

You may notice, obviously, that there's no possible way for us to beat all of those games in 72 hours. Here's where we're introducing something new.

There's a non-profit charity called Child's Play that's been running since 2003. Child's Play gives video games and toys to less fortunate children in hospitals across the globe.  Many gaming marathons have raised money for the charity, and we'd like to put in our 2 cents too.

So here's the deal! Rather than be bored watching us play a game you hate, donate some money to Child's Play! For each dollar you donate, you'll get one vote in what game you'd like to see us play next. Every time we finish a game we'll tally up the votes, and the viewers will choose what game we play!

Not enough for you? No problem. We're more than willing to sell our services (we're not worth much anyway ohoh)! Donate 5 dollars and one of us will scribble a little drawing or make an mspaint for you! Donate 10 dollars and each one of us will make a drawing for you (that's at least 6 arts!) Donate 20+ dollars, and in addition to everything above, we'll make something/do something else for you! (a quickie video, do something ridiculous on camera, whatever you want! we'll negotiate!)

Disclaimer: Only one of us is an actual artist (psst, it's Claudia). ^^; Feel free to request any one of us (might take a bit as that person could be playing) to make your drawing, we'll do it! And even though we suck at arts, we'll do our best!

Second Disclaimer: We'll draw/do whatever you want, within reason. Nothing seckshual or physically detrimental to us. We can negotiate!

Donate (via paypal) to Child's Play on their home page. Uh, we aren't exactly sure how to tell if you donated or not, though. ^^; As much as we'd like to take your word for it, we need some kind of proof. Not sure how to do that though, so if anyone has any ideas, do let us know! (We realize paypal sends you a reciept, but we don't want to ask for that 'cause personal information is there and we don't need that.)

Don't feel bad if you can't donate! The last thing we want is to guilt trip anyone. December is a busy season and we fully understand. To be completely honest, we don't even have the money to donate (which is why we're trying to raise money instead)! We're not even really expecting to raise 50 dollars, so don't worry! Come watch and chat with us anyway, that's what we love the most!

Anyway, there we are! More updates to come once more information is known. Let us know what you think of this idea, though!

Aww, no Pokemon Snap? Aw snap.

I'D TOTALLY DONATE SOME MONEYS, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO. So you have my best wishes.

(Ohoho I suck sorry.)

Wait-what? Oh, dur. Guess who forgot to put Pokemon Snap in the roster when it was the easiest game to agree on. meeee I edited it and it's there now!

Don't worry, we're not expecting a whole ton of people to donate. We don't even have money to donate (hence why we're doing this so we can feel mildly helpful). ^^; Feel free to come watch and chat with us anyway!

*stops feeling guilty*
thank you for that last post.

nice list, you've got some real obscure ones for GC and N64. Wii is too young for obscure classics, but you've got real top notch games for that one.

P.S, does anyone know why the abbreviation for the Nintendo GameCube is GCN?

*phew* Good! Sorry if the post came off as begging for money. We sincerely doubt we're even going to raise 50 dollars, and we don't blame anyone for not being able to donate (since we can't even donate!). Now you can watch us without feeling guilty. :D

Thanks! We're fans of the more obscure games, but we really love the big franchises too (Mario and Zelda are favorites).

Also, I have no idea why it's abbreviated GCN. It doesn't really make any sense. ^^;

It's probably abbreviated like that because it's like... GameCubeNintendo. GCN. Does that make any sense?

I'll try to watch/chat with you guys when the time comes, k? I have a feeling I might forget though. Remind me when it's time, Chupa. At that time I shouldn't be too busy with anything unless my parents want to take me somewhere for whatever reason.

That makes sense, buuuuttt in theory shouldn't it be NGC, like Nintendo GameCube? (That's what they did for the N64) I have no idea.

Awesome, Nanaface. I shall remind you when the time comes. ILU MUCHLY. :D

Kieran Pertnav said...

yeah it should be NGC. I figured the N was Nintendo. maybe NGC was already taken

National Geographic Corporation? idk

Google Search: NGC

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
National Guideline Clearinghouse
National Geographic Channel
Northrop Grumman Corporation

They go on for like, 50 pages. And get more obscure.
Poor Nintendo GameCube. Your acronym was never meant to be.
