What a marathon!
I've been following the Speed Demos Archive Charity Marathons since January 2010 and they have come a long way, if you don't believe me look below:
These major marathons took place during January each year.
Classic Games Done Quick
2010 Target: $5,000
2010 Final result : $10,000
Awesome Games Done Quick
2011 Target: $30,000
2011 Final result: $52,000
Awesome Games Done Quick 2012
2012 Target: $50,000
2012 Final result: $147,000
All of these marathons were raising charity for The Prevent Cancer Foundation, The overall earnings from these marathons alone is enough for nearly 10 years of cancer research.
I donated $8.55 this year, $3 was part of the Serious Time T-shirt I purchased online at theyetee.com and $5.55 was part of a chipin donation followed by a comment.
Here is a sample of a live speed run done by Cosmo, a very well known Zelda: Ocarina of Time player. This run had 12,000 viewers watching it live.
Expect another blog post soon.
