Extra Life

Two weeks from today, the Fat Chance Heroes will undertake their first mission as heroic good-doers.  They will endure 24 straight hours of video game playing on behalf of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.  All the money they raise will go to the Gillette’s Children’s Hospital in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Both Mystery Longshanks and Cold Man Fusion have been gung-ho about this event from day one.  Neither of them can decide which games they’re going to play for the duration of the event.  If anything, their biggest problem is that they only have 24 hours.

Blackout, on the other hand… not so much.  Don’t get me wrong.  She’s committed the event.  She’ll be there.  But she’s not the biggest video gamer, and she’s not quite sure if she’ll be able to stay awake for the whole thing.

Meanwhile, Mystery and CMF, are practically setting up a fallout shelter.  What supplies do we need?  Where do we set up the TVs?  Who’s on food rotation?  Who’s keeping who awake? How many people can be connected to the internet at a time? 

Oh yes, their training will be pushed to the max.

And it will be documented.  Never fear.  I intend to set up a camera, from which, once and hour, a photo will be taken of the war room so that people can see how the Fat Chance Heroes hold up.

Technically, Extra-Life takes place October 15^th into the 16^th.  However, due to schedule conflicts, the Fat Chance Heroes will be participating the following weekend instead:

October 22^nd at 8:00am, to October 23^rd at 8:00am.
The only challenge remaining is raise what money they possibly can for the Children’s Hospital.  So far, the heroes have raised
119 dollars

About Extra-Life
www.extra-life.org

Extra Life is an annual charity event that started in 2008 in honor a girl named Victoria Enmon, who died of lymphoblastic leukemia.  The Sarcastic Gamer Community donated video games and gifts to keep the girl’s spirits up.  In that same spirit, video gamers participate in the 24 hour Extra Life event to help raise money for children’s hospitals across the nation.
