Speedgamers Marathon Does Metroid!

http://www.thespeedgamers.com/

Saw this posted around and wanted to share. If you aren't familiar with the site, they do gaming marathon events to raise money for various charities, the current being Halton Autistic Family Support Group. I know autism is the enemy of the internet, so all the more incentive to donate! Their goal is a 72-hour marathon aiming for $15,000 and they're currently about half a day in and have raised roughly $3,000. If you cannot or do not want to donate, give consideration to spreading the word!

Currently it's weird as *** because they're between games and this guy is eating a lollipop incredibly loudly into his mic while breathing heavily. I think he may be playing up a "I might be dying" angle for sympathy gets. (unconfirmed) Enjoy the marathon!

Also, here are 2 really great pieces of Samus done by Spacecoyote to promote the event:

Side-note:

This makes Samus really look like a guy! =/

Damn double-post!


Good cause, thanks for pointing it out! And wow they raised $50,734 when they did the Final Fantasy marathon!!

samus is awesome :)

I was thinking the same thing, Liquidz. lol I mean I know the idea was to make Samus less feminine as noted in the submission comments from the artist, but the first one just makes her look like a Prince Adam/Ken cross-over. Still badass, just not as eager to see her in the 3-hours or less ending. lol
