Tag: Extra Life

November 3rd, 9am. You wake up, have a good stretch, and put on your slippers. Maybe you'll make some coffee, or crawl back into bed and read a good book, or get dressed real quick and visit with the neighbors. It is a Sunday after all, and the day is rife with possibilities.Unless you're me, that is. I'll be collapsing into my bed at 9am with blurry eyes and an exhausted spirit. I'll have just completed 25 hours of straight gaming, and the wires that provide my brain with any sort of cognitive function will be frayed and strained to their last.And did I mention that it's my birthday?That's ok. It's for the children.On November 2nd at 8am, I'll be joining gamers from around the world in a marathon to raise funds for local children's hospitals in North America. At present, 10525 gamers have signed up for Extra Life 2013 - almost twice as many had signed up a month before the event last year, co-founder Jeremy Adoms tells me. And it seems like it's only going to get bigger.
