Marathon update

On July 7 at 12:00 AM (DST) / 6:00 PM (UTC) we will go live with the TwilightRealm Zelda Marathon 2012! For 72 hours straight you can watch us play Zelda until it ends on July 10. We will be playing to raise money for Child’s Play Charity, helping out to achieve their goal to make the lives of sick children all over the world a little better during their stay at a hospital.

Ofcourse we cannot do this without help, so here’s how you can chip in:

  • Tell your friends, family, anyone willing to hear about it. Share it on Twitter and Facebook, reddit, post it on message boards, etc. We can use as much exposure as possible! :)
  • Do you happen to be the owner of a gaming related website and would like to plug the event? Awesome! Get in touch for more information about our marathon.
  • We’ve already got some awesome stuff to give away, but we could always use extra sponsors. So do you sell videogame/Nintendo merchandise online and are you willing to sponsor giveaways or do you know anyone we could get in touch with? Please let us know by contacting us!
