PXA's Extra Life 2012 Campaign - Amnesia Stream Done, Maybe More In Future

Man, I can't wait to see you tackle Dark Souls. I'm going to have to go back and review some of my favorite jump-scares and choke points so I know what's coming when.

Nothing wrong with bumping this thread as you get closer. I mean, it is for charity and all.

Well, thanks to my awesome girlfriend, I've now officially crossed the $1,000 mark! So that means I am now committed to live streaming a single session playthrough of Duke Nukem Forever. Truly I am the luckiest man on Earth this day.

Hitting $2,000 to play Amnesia (which will be the truly incredible watch) is going to be tough but it's doable. Who wants to step up to watch me potentially suffer the most I ever have in 25+ years of gaming? You know you wanna'.

Donated, and good luck!

I was wondering who that contribution was from. Much obliged sir!

Can't wait! Remember to keep your shield up, watch your back, and prepare to...well, you know.

Here's hoping I remember.

Good luck, man! I won't be able to watch it right from the beginning, but I'll pop in throughout the day to see the progress

Oh! Goody! I'd forgotten about this. Because of the time difference I get to see the good parts!

Alright, we're down to the final stretch! A ton of people have stepped up and I've destroyed my total from last year! According to Extra Life, I'm currently 65 or 14,107 participants in terms of money raised and I've raised more than 93% of the other contributors. I'm truly humbled by the response. I've brought my rig into work today and will be getting it all setup. If anyone knows people you can spam to get me some more contributions, that would be amazing. Here's my Extra Life portal page which has all the info. The likelihood of hitting the $2,000 stretch goal where I will one session Amnesia is low but hey, you never know and I purposefully made that goal a tough one.

My live stream of Dark Souls will start at 10am EST tomorrow on my Twitch TV channel. The stream is open to anyone, whether you contributed or not.

I will be watching the Twitch chat from my laptop and people will also be able to chat/ask questions/whatever with me over Twitter and likely Skype as well. I'm happy to chat with people about whatever while I play so feel free! If you've got the PC version of Dark Souls, feel free to join my game as well. Stylez and I tested this before and if I make you a preferred player in GFW Live, it appears to greatly increase the chances of you being picked as the player I summon.

This is going to be an interesting watch, particularly when I've been at it for a good while and am getting tired and frustrated. I hope to see a bunch of people on tomorrow! I'm super excited!

PA,

Did anyone come in from out of town for this?
My wife and I sat beside a crew talking board games and Mechwarrior Online at Boston Pizza in Kanata.
I nearly joined their conversation.

Bruce Springsteen being in town, for some reason made me think the lady at the table was KLHC.

Nope, this is a worldwide event so no one has to commune in any one place. Man, that sounds like it would have been an awesome conversation though.

Alright, I'm all setup and ready to rock! I go LIVE in about 10 minutes at http://twitch.tv.pxabstraction! Feel free to tune in, there will be lots of different ways to chat with me during the event. Donations are also accepted during the event so please feel free to yell at everyone you know to go and donate. Super psyched for this! Bring it Dark Souls!

Is this working through the TwitchTV iOS app? Searching pxabstraction doesn't get me anything.

Thanks to Fed, I've now doubles last year's takings! You are all amazing! If we can somehow manage another $500 by 10am tomorrow, I'll have to live stream Amnesia: The Dark Descent. And with how bad I'm sucking at Dark Souls, who wouldn't want to see that? Tell your friends to dig deep!

It's ok that the stream just went down, me and Dr Awkward are enjoying a beer. Here's to you Parallax, awesome stream so far

Regardless of which is which, Doc Awk doesn't look anything like I've imagined for all these years!

Just had a massive awesome boss run with Gimpy and a random who I was able to get to join my game! Holy CRAP that was fun! The summoning only works about 25% of the time on PC but when it does, it rocks!

Also, a bunch of incredible people have stepped up and have been pumping tons of donations throughout the day! I didn't think the $2,000 stretch goal was possible but it's only $350 away now! It can totally be done, let's do this!

Stretch goal! Stretch goal!

You know...should you have gotten pledges based on accomplishments? Like people agree to pledge X if you ring one bell, Y if you ring both, etc.

If you ring both on this marathon, I'll be VERY impressed!

Parallax is kicking ass and still entertaining all these hours later. If you haven't, get in on the live stream, and please consider making a donation! He needs our support and ecouragement!

Makes me want to fire up Dark Souls and finish it off. I'm in the home stretch, but the part I'm at is SOOOOOOO boring.

He's the one drinking beer.

$223 to go until Amnesia! I am truly beside myself, people have donated almost $400 just in the last 12 hours. I'm stunned. Thank you all so much! So help me, $2,000 is possible!

Correction! $183 to go thanks to Mystic Violet's awesomeness!

So close to $2000 and Amnesia! This must happen!

$148! I really can't believe this.

And Elysium just put in $50. Only $100 to go until I have to play Amnesia. Good lords, what have I done?!

Woot!

Wow, both bells in under 13 hours! I am indeed impressed, nay, amazed! Well done!
