Good plan. Did you contact your local store or was it through their head office?

Need to think of something like that myself.

Got my first donation today!

Not properly launched my efforts as I'm waiting for the Ice Bucket stuff to die down on facebook a bit, which leads me to believe it was someone on here. That and they make a reference to "Cheeky Devlin". So thanks whoever it was, for getting me off the starting line!

Well Game finally sent me something to raffle off :fp:

Well that was an anticlimax why would anyone want this?

You would then only need to get the next three expansions and then pay a monthly sub to a 10 year old game :fp: :fp:

Marvelous!

Oh dear. To be fair, they probably have a very limited budget for this kind of thing. They could have given you a gift card or something though!

Tried to pin down my games list.

Looking at Diablo 3, Drive Club, Rouge Legacy and maybe COD Ghost.

Managed to get a shout out on the IGN UK pod cast today too.

Cool. I'm still working on my list but its gonna look something like this:
Dark Souls
Shadow Of Mordor
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Civ V
Elite: Dangerous
Sonic The Hedgehog
Super Mario World
Goldeneye
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
Gradius V

I'm gonna add another two games, and potentially swap out a couple depending on how I feel closer to the time.

I also did a test run of my stream.

EDIT: Took it out as it wasn't embedding properly. I'll post it once it's done.

It's still processing on Youtube so you can't get 720p yet, but I just wanted to see how stuff looks on it. I know the "Currently Playing" text is wrong and the timers aren't on but that's pretty much the look I'm going for. I'll probably do one more with everything finalised before the actual event.
