Hello everybody. It's been a hot minute since I've posted on this, but it really is something we can not forget is going on. After all, we are doing this to help sick kids who are stuck and don't have the luxury to forget.
But I am getting ahead of myself. To anyone new here, welcome in and welcome to our own little push for a little something called Extra-Life. And what is it? Well it's a charity drive run by the Children's Miracle Network in which gamers get to sign up and raise money for their local children's hospital by doing what they love. If that sounds good to you, come join the site and get signed up and come join in on the fun! The process could not be simpler!.
- Go to www.extra-life.org and sign up.
- The website will feature a nice big yellow "Sign up" button which will guide you through the process. It is really easy and has all the regular processes except:
- Picking a hospital. Who you play for is a bit more specific then just "Extra-Life." While you sign up you will also be offered a list of hospitals within the Children's Miracle Network. Once you pick one to play for, all your donations will go towards that hospital specifically.
- Set yourself up to bring donations into your choice hospital.
- Once again the site will have plenty of suggestions, but among the biggest things you can do is (if you are here to play video games) setup your streaming service to play through your new participation page! The site supports both Youtube and Twitch. (I am STILL hoping to see Rumble join the list one day.)
- Start playing!
- Draw attention to why you are playing. Once again, the site is your best place to get ideas.
- While I may focus on video games, myself this is NOT just about those. It's about any game you can think of: Video, board, card, or hell even Tabletop. Have some friends who play D&D? Why not do some good for the world while you have fun!
- In early November, get ready for the big one, the 2026 24-hour gaming marathon!
- In previous years, this would be on the weekend of daylight savings to extend the marathon to 25 hours, but last year, it was decided with so many needing a raindate anyway, a week was set aside where games picked their day.
And of course we are not just gonna sit around and wait for the big event. Around here, we do our best to show off the event and what you might see during it twice a week. Our themes haven't really changed as we spend one day pushing through a franchise I still love to this day and the other basically playing with how far you can take the idea of First Person gaming... and just how varied it is
- Phantasy Star Wednesday: Come join us Wednesdays at 8 PM Eastern where we play through everything released in the US. From it's 8-bit origins all the way to the still ongoing PSO2: New Genesis! Currently we are wrapping up the Hunters Guild missions of Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 before starting Episode 2. And if you want to join in the fun, you absolutely can for free! We can be found on the Ephinea server and with all intention to let anyone interested join us! Just look for the "Red Sector" game. If you are not where we are do not worry. I've always been happy to lend a hand and get someone else started down their journey (and certain missions in particular I know really benefit from a partner in the field). So come on in and join the fun, either in chat or directly in play! You are welcome!
- First Person Friday: And this is where the REAL variety show happens. Every week we stop in as we show off games, both action and otherwise, where you see from the eyes of your character. We have played everything from Descent to the 7th Guest and we are still looking for new experiences to share! Currently we just re-opened Boltgun to play the Forges of Corruption DLC, and so far it is already intense! Come see what the 41st Millennium can throw our way every Friday, also at 8 PM Eastern.
