Crystals for Life 2014 - Speedrunning Charity Marathon - Kage - 04-29-2014
Hey guys, I spend time watching people do speedruns of games some times, usually when charity marathons are held. I'm talking about Crystals for Life because a few Final Fantasy games are run as well as RPGs and JRPGs. Examples for 2014 include Final Fantasy IV, VI, Suikoden, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger and others.
It's non-stop game running all to encourage people to donate money towards charity, in Crystals for Life's case it is to benefit JDRF, an organization dedicated to research in curing, treating, and preventing type 1 diabetes.
Sometimes they have donation incentives such as plushies or games or perlers but it's always great fun to watch and listen to these people play RPGs having practiced their craft for so long in getting certain things right.
If you're interested, please check them out! They start today and will last into the weekend.
Plus, I'm always in love with the shirts that get put up for these charity sales... >_> Wondershot is of course, from Chrono Trigger. Beautiful RNG that during a recent charity marathon, Awesome Games Done Quick 2014, in their last run of Chrono Trigger viewers PUSHED to get the total donations to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the Prevent Cancer Foundation! Wondershot killed Lavos AND helped push the viewers.
