[Our awesome community is putting together a number of charity events to help out Lv99Ron with his medical bills. Help a fellow Dtoider out and be entertained at the same time! -- JRo]
Recently our friend, Lv99Ron, almost died. After three emergency surgeries on his lungs and three weeks in the ICU, Ron is making a full recovery at home. We are so thankful and blessed to still have him in our lives. Our thanks and prayers go out to the doctors, nurses, staff, family, and friends who helped him through this ordeal. If you want to read a fantastic, scary, and ultimately happy ended detailed summary, check out Ron’s blog post I’ve Come To Far To Die Now.
Last weekend I was joined by Chad Concelmo, Colette Bennett, Brad Nicholson, and Stella Wong. Needless to say, it was glorious. I am happy to make available the Ronathon All-Star Podcast. Our main topics are Donkey Kong games, Chad’s Virtual Console reviews, the future of DLC, and PAX/convention advice and tips. Our off-topics include fawning over Brad Nicholson’s Muscles, cybering, Birdo’s history, 3D, and whether Brad will see Expendables or Scott Pilgrim first. And that’s just the beginning.
There was an issue with E-junkie and any donations that were made previously when downloading the podcast did not go through. Currently, the podcast can be downloaded for free, but we are asking everyone who downloaded/downloads to please donate 99 cents using the button below. I know paying for a podcast is kinda weaksauce, but I must stress that every cent is going to Ron and his family to help pay for medical bills. We will not be taking any money to help with distribution or any other payments whatsoever. This is a charity podcast and not a commercial endeavor. Let this be a good deed done and you will be repaid full with laughter, fun, and entertainment (not to mention how much sexier you’ll become).
Please click below to download the podcast, and PLEASE make sure to donate!
The podcast can be downloaded here.
Share this with any of your friends who can help out! Thanks everyone!

There was a Paypal account to donate to... I'll get back to you on that.
And I'll definitely make sure to help out and pimp this in a day or two for anyone who ends up missing the initial post.
And anything that has Colette Bennett, Chad Concelmo, and Stella Wong in it is awesome.
P.S. You guys rock for doing this.
Really? What kind of parent would get pissed over a single dollar "donated to a friend in need? I'm hoping that you're exaggerating their anger.
Happy to donate!
Though I don't know you @lv99ron, I really hope this helps you out. Hospital bills are not fun, even if they do comp you the bionic arm.
I can't wait to listen to the podcast!
A few dollars don't hurt, methinks.
Downloading the podcast right now. Can't wait <3

On a side note, that is not a gun. It is a tool and a logical process of elimination.
Hope you get well soon.
I really have to thank Jonathan Ross for helping me out with all the paypal stuff. Without him, this would never have been so smooth. Thanks J-Ro!
I'm going to serenade you with a Tonetta song next time I see you.
Also, for those of you that listen to Electric Hydra, it's really interesting to listen to this podcast. This was apparently recorded after Brad Nicholson thought of doing that whole high heels stunt, but BEFORE it actually took place. If you know how it ended, it makes this absolutely hilarious.
So yeah. EVERYONE needs to download this podcast and pony up at least $5, as this podcast and the cause is worth EVERY FREAKING PENNY.
