Bored? No plans for this weekend? Watch these guys play the entire Mega Man series(s) to raise money for Earth Day. A few weeks ago, their Final Fantasy marathon raised $50,000 for autism treatment.

Awesome.
Really enjoyed the Mario Marathon about a month ago, been watching quite a few since, but it was the best.
I imagine this will be just as good as it's just alot more fun watching people play games that take more hand-eye coordination as opposed to Final Fantasy type marathons.
Thanks.

Personally, I can't say that they picked the best charity. I think that given our current economic climate, just donating the proceeds to the nearest homeless shelter would do a lot more good.
They're on MM5 already. I wish they were playing them all on original hardware, but they seem to be alternating NES and Anniversary Collection.

I'm a huge Mega Man fan. Just watching this makes me want to play it.
It's pretty cool that these guys are able to raise money for good causes just for playing video games.

Earth Day? Gah! I agree they should give it to the homeless. Besides Earth Day was originally started by American communists to clandestinely celebrate Lenin's Birthday (no joke lol). You can google it :o
I still don't understand how gamers can play so much without getting carpal's. I mean, do they switch to their left hand or somethin' :?

They struggled on Mega Man 8. So I've been lucky, I'm waiting for them to play MMX.

I can only watch so long. They're sining Pokemon themes now. Seriosuly, I've never met people that can't go more than an hour without blabbing about infernal Pokemon.
As much as I love watching them play, sometimes I wish they'd shut up.

Meh, Mega Man Legends 2 is a long game. I was waiting for them to do Mega Man X, but I'm going to miss it. :(

And if you can google it, you know it is true.
Did you know squirrels landed on the moon?

Yeah but you can always Google something that says the very opposite of what you believe. You can Google any side of an argument and counter and counter-counter another's argument ad infinitem. So you're point is moot scooter :ass:

I think that raising money for charity, no matter what is always a nice idea, and this is a great way of doing it. :)

Longevity and tournaments.
The game has an extremely deep breeding system and there are always new move combinations and cross breddings that are found even to this day. If you don't get it you haven't played it enough, the game is endless, especially if you are a Tournament player.
Most people are leveling their Pokemon from the original versions to this day lol.

I wounder myself but by the look of it,it seems like a team of people that switch around for each mega-man game.Right now it's MegaMan X6 and it looks like a pain to finsh.I did watch some last night but i'm in no mood to watch the entire play of each mm title.Oh well long as the money go's to a good cuase np i guess.
