Are you taking requests in excange for donations?

[Blackbird]

You'll have to ask Softdrink about that one. It looks like he's on food break right now though =P.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

I like how you made the thread to hype this right before he went out.

[Blackbird]

Yeah, I hadn't realized he was dead on his feet, haha.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

Money well spent! Very entertaining, thanks for that.

[Icarus]

That was pretty good fun. :>

Softdrink is a BOSS

My favorite part was where Softdrink managed to play Eschatos while asleep =P.

HUGE thanks to everyone who watched the stream, and EXTRA HUGE thanks to everyone who donated. And roo you are just insane haha.

After I got home I got an email from Extra Life notifying me that our stream (STG Weekly's Extra Life donation box) was among the most successful non-sponsored, non-team pooled streams online! We reached a total of $265, which is apparently MUCH more than the majority of other individual streamers.

This literally would not have been possible without you guys supporting our stream, both literally and emotionally. It was an amazing (if exhausting) night; I don't think we ever had less than 20 viewers once the stream really got going, and being able to chat so much with everyone throughout the night really made it a great experience for me, japtor, and Joey. I would literally not have been able to stay at it all night without people in the chat to cheer me on, or suggest new games, or whatever else.

You all rock.

And yes, sleepshmupping is apparently a thing. I really need to go through all the footage and pick that moment out; I imagine it looks pretty hilarious. It was so weird; I just got incredibly tired all of a sudden...

By the way, all of the footage from the event has been highlighted for posterity and uploaded to youtube as one massive, 18-hour playlist, so if you missed out be sure to check on the STG Weekly channel!

Isn't that weird? It happens to me, too. Whenever I stay up for an excessive period of time like that, I'm sorta tired, but then WHAM! It hits me like a ton of bricks and I'm dead tired all of a sudden. Not sleeping is a helluva drug.
