More holiday generosity coming down the chimney!
Beginning December 16 at 6 PM CST, game-marathon specialists TheSpeedGamers will be playing through as much of the Zelda series as they can in the span of 72 hours. As usual, they are accepting donations; all proceeds will go to the Paws for Reflection Ranch, Tara Sawyer Foundation, and Trent's Retreat Nonprofit Foundation. If you want to toss some change their way, hit up their site when the video stream begins on Friday night. If they manage to hit $15k, they'll soldier on for an extra day.
All this giving, all this charity, all this love and selflessness is really making me feel bad for being a greedy little man who wonders when he's going to get his. But really, I just try to do my thing by sharing a little something fun or fascinating now and then and hoping I can make people smile a bit. That's fine, right?

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Will still probably tune in, though.
...wait.
We noticed a lot of groups doing Zelda marathons this month, and we vaguely thought about changing but the issue is we've had this planned over a year in advance. Not to mention this will be our 25th marathon, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of Zelda. It's too perfect NOT to do.
In one of our previous Zelda marathons, someone actually bought a CD-i and the Zelda games. We quickly figured out that it was a bad idea because of the amount of viewers we lost when it came on stream. More people cared about seeing The Wacky World of Miniature Golf starring Eugene Levy when it was played after the marathon. The system was promptly sold, haha.
Thanks again, Destructoid!
And what, pray tell, is wrong with my grammar?
Your grammar is distinctly lacking in sexually transmitted viruses. It's disgusting really.
