Ok guys n gals, serious time.
I am considerin organising a 24 hour gaming livestream to raise money for Special Effect, a gaming based charity who work to give disabled people of all ages the opportunity to play video games, both for enjoyment and to help improve their quality of life. Before starting to organise things and get in touch with them, I was wondering how many of you lovely people would be willing to donate ANY amount? As the well known saying goes, Every Little Helps =D
The charity does some amazing work, i have seen them at the Eurogamer Expo in London the last 2 years and they have had a PC using Kinect running Trackmania, a game we all know and love. The catch is that the only way to control the car is with your eye movements, no hands, no pedals, just your eyes. For us it sounds hilarious, and it is =P but for some people this is the only movement they have and the ability to still be able to enjoy games in that kind of situation is truly awesome.
All donations would go to the charity, unless donaters specified other percentage splits, with a running total being kept through the length of the stream so everyone knows where we stand. I wanna get a rough idea before getting in touch with the charity so I know whether it'll be worth the time for them.
i'm aware some of you have already commented on the facebook post which is awesome, but i also know not everyone uses facebook so figured i would post here aswell =D
Let me know people
