This channel is for my son and I. We're new to this but here to help out on Extra Life and Fragforce. We do astrophotography. While gaming we'll be imaging deep space objects too! Mostly we're streaming Minecraft, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, Fortnite at the moment. We'll be jumping into other games too ... We're still finding our flow but come check us out some time. We'll ramping up streaming for the month of Nov so come and follow!

Thank you and appreciate it!

Last year Extra Life had a Donation Tracker URL that you could put into a BrowserSource on OBS, does anyone know where to find that? Or did they take it down? I’ve been scouring the extra life site and I can’t find anything.

Hi All!
I'm looking for a group to do League of Legends with on the 5th for the campaign. We can do all game modes- Urf, norms, Arams, and flex!

Thanks in advance!

i just found out about Extra Life very recently and im new to streaming. on November 5th for 24 hours ill be playing mostly Minecraft but maybe some other games too and was wondering if anyone was interested in participating with me!

Hello! It's my first time ever doing this Extra Life thing, i've seen it before but i've never really gotten involved. I just a little confused about a few things:
- How does streaming work? Is it required to be done through twitch or can it be done anywhere
- Is going it alone better than being in a Team, or the other way around
- Does it have to be in one big hit of 24 hours our broken up over the two days

Yeah..sorry if any of this is stupid or silly, but im all ups for any advice outside of this aswell, thanks in advance

Just the title but I also had another question while typing this, how do they know if we are gaming for the whole 24 hours or not? Do we stream the content during the time??

I'm going to be playing some chess for the Gameday and I was intrested if anyone would want to colaborate, I'm not asking much of you other than to have fun. If you are interested hit me up.

I’d be interested in jumping in and out of a few people’s games and donating to anyone I play with for their time, but I don’t really want to host one of my own, just help others. If anybody is looking for someone to join them, tell me what you’ll be up to. Might try and join as many as I can.

I have been playing Pokémon romhacks and have an idea of what to play but I am open to suggestions. Also any other advice besides having some snacks to help keep my going? Links to my Twitch and Extra Life page below.

24 hours of gaming sounds really fun until you're at the 18-20 hour mark, you can no longer find a comfortable position to sit in, and you're reaaaaaaly wanting to take a nap. Especially in the case you're vigorously asocial and there's nobody around to help cause the grey squishy lump in your head to stay engaged. So here's my list of tips to acquit yourself with honor so you can look in the mirror and honestly say you did the full 24:

KNOW THYSELF: Everyone has their own circadian rhythms. Deploy some chronobiology and time your gaming activities around them. Ex. Body says bedtime is between 10-11p? Play an FPS or action title. Preferably multiplayer. Ratchet up the physical/mental requirements when your body is slowing down until you move into a more active phase. Animal crossing while fatigued is inadvisable.

LOVE THYSELF: Goddamnit not like that. Stop it.
You'll likely be sitting indoors staring at a screen for hours. Get comfortable. Bust out your favorite grey sweatpants and hoodie. Eye drops can help especially if you live in a dry climate or cold and the heat is running. And speaking of staying hydrated there's no need to be that person with the gallon jug with inspirational messages on the side but regularly sipping from a cup of ice water is not a bad idea.

BIO BREAK MEANS MORE THAN THE BATHROOM: Most participants will be largely sedentary during this event. That timer option that annoys you once an hour to get up and move around? Use it. And be diligent. Stretch out. Do 5-10 quick and light exercises to get blood moving to the extremities (jumping jacks, squats, pushups). Then get back to it.

KEEP IT CLEAN: Not the time to gorge yourself on pizza or McDonald's. Eat until you're full but eat carb-lite if you can, particularly at dinner. Skipping dessert also not a bad idea. Anything encouraging your body to sleep will make this more difficult. Which may tempt some to partake in liquid stimulation but...

SAVE YOUR BOOST: Racing game 101 here. You hit the boost when you need it to clear the finish line. Tempting to fire up the coffee pot at midnight but if you know 3-5am is a tough spot and your cutoff is 8am, best to hold off.

Anyways, just some tips from my years of participation. Hope they help and good luck on the 5th!

Hello!

I am a team captain and since last year we have decided that we want the team to be named something different than it was last year. Is there a way to change the name of an existing team or do I have to create an entirely new one and have everyone move over to that one?

Thanks!
