Longtime friends of CoN, TheSpeedGamers, have announced a charity marathon stream of Final Fantasy games for next month, starting July 9 at 7pm ET and running through July 14. For this marathon, donations will be in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of my personal favorite charities. As of this post, the schedule is still to be determined, but expect a large slate, as previous Final Fantasy marathons from TSG have covered virtually every mainline single-player game and then some.

CoN is supporting TSG this summer as well! We will rebroadcast the stream live on our homepage throughout the marathon, and I'm certain it will be a topic of discussion on our Discord too. We've also just packaged up some donations to be given away for raffles and donation goals during the stream in partnership with ThePhoenixCave, with more to come! If you'd like to be a part of CoN's contributions, start by grabbing some of our holographic stickers before they're gone, or come talk to me in Discord.

Keep an eye out here for more information, and don't forget to tune in on July 9.

Sounds cool, I haven't watched many of these game speedruns/marathons before, but if it's running for days on end I should be able to keep it on @ the office. Looks like they're running it on Twitch, so I'll toss in my Amazon Prime subscription they give me each month.

Cool, I'll be watching as much as possible from my desk as well. Hopefully I catch when our donations are raffled off to raise money.

The marathon just kicked off! The schedule is here: https://horaro.org/tsg/schedule

CoN has two prize packs available, and they're already collecting donations for the first one. To enter the raffle for the first one, with goodies from ThePhoenixCave, you need to donate $10 or more to St. Jude. Once the total donations hit $1000, the pack will get raffled off.

If you would like to watch or donate or both, pop to the CoN homepage now, where we have the stream up and running!

I watched this evening & tossed in my 2nd Prime sub. They batted around the idea of playing VIII, which would definitely get me watching at work when I shouldn't be.
