#100DaysOfGaming: Raid the Arcade! Day 98: playing Bases Loaded for #ExtraLife!
0Hello everyone. I'm Jason Montgomery from Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Treaty 7 land. Home of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda Nation; along with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
Once again, I am taking part in the Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon to help raise money for the Alberta Children's Hospital on November 6, 2021: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=449199
Extra Life connects gamers from around the world to help raise money for sick and injured children across Canada and the USA through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
This will be my ninth year taking part, and this year I’m back in the #100DaysOfGaming challenge! Starting July 29, 2021, I will play something, anything, for at least an hour every day for one hundred days until November 6. The goal is to get the word out there for Extra Life and build up momentum and get more people involved before the big day.
The first time I did #100DaysOfGaming in 2018 and it was pretty seat-of-my-pants when choosing which games to play and when. In 2019, I focused on Final Fantasy VII as I wanted to beat the original game before FFVII Remake came out. And I did: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/505000092
I stepped aside from the challenge in 2020, but now I’m back, and this year it’s time to “Raid the Arcade!” I’ll be streaming (mostly) classic retro games each night! I’m armed with an NES Classic, a Super NES Classic, a Sega Genesis Mini, Nintendo Switch Online, and an Evercade! That’s an entire library of vintage games all at my fingertips, so this will be fun! But I’ll also stream more current stuff along the way, depending on what comes out or is in the news.
Can I keep to the challenge? I'll tweet whenever I go live at 10 PM Mountain each night, so stay tuned!
Thank you to everyone for your support, and remember, #KidsCantWait.
