Ladies and gentlemen, Extra Life is THIS Saturday, October 18, and on that day you will be treated to The SingSterling Challenge, a SingStar marathon to be broadcast LIVE online for your viewing pleasure … IF we raise $5000.
I have to tell ya kids, we’re not making tracks as I’d hoped. We still need to calculate PayPal donations and add the Codies money, but I want more than this. Remember, you only get 24 hours of SingStar if I make $5000. As a show of good faith, I have decided that enough has been earned to generate 12 hours of gameplay, but if you want to see me go the whole way and potential brutalize my voice in the process, then you know what needs to be done.
And you really do want to see this go the whole way once you see what songs we have in store. Such selections as “I Believe In A Thing Called Love,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Like A Virgin” all make an appearance. But I will ONLY perform “Never Gonna Give You Up” as the final song of the 24th hour. If you want the world’s first live charity Rick Roll, then you need to DONATE.
Once again, thanks to Codemasters and the Damnation/Rise of the Argonauts team for boosting the effort with their $1000 donation. Also, a BIG hand to Wardrox for procuring so many copies of SingStar for the event. Hit the jump for our full song list, and remember — you only get the full show if some very sick children get the money they need.
