Are there friend codes for Nintendo DS or Pokemon Heartgold/SoulSilver? Either way, I have that and I will be building up my Pokemens for the battles.

Awesome!

There are quite a few games that are coming out between now and then. I might do some Halo Reach multiplayer, and Dead Rising 2, Enslaved, The Shoot, and Castlevania will all be released by then. The week before is also the week the the new Medal of Honor comes out. Who knows what I'll be playing.

I would, but sadly, I sold it after my nostalgia rush was over.

What if people just give you dollars here and there as donations? What would be the best thing to do with them?

I have a local game store that I was thinking about setting up a donation box in or even spending part of my 24 hours in-store playing games from open to close (taking donations of course).

I think that would be OK . I know last year they had a system where you could actually send checks or cash in. I can't seem to locate an area where it tells you what to do if that is the case, though.

Or you could put the money in your bank account and transfer it from there. Just mark it as "Store Charity" or something.

I know that there is no minimum amount a single person has to donate. Last year I was a pretty broke college student, so I would throw $5 in every so often whenever I had a little extra.

EDIT : If you go to your donation page, on the left side under the "Donate Now" button, there is a form that you can send in with checks. I don't know if it works with cash.

@DrMunkee, thanks!

Looks like I will be setting up at Replays Gameware in Gadsden, Alabama, a local used game store. This will be where I play a good chunk of the marathon. Taking donations from passers-by and a huge game library to play from! Gotta make some flyers to put up there and a couple local colleges to try to raise money, awareness of the event and maybe get some more gamers involved!

Sweet.

Added. Thanks!

Has anyone contacted any local Gamestop or gaming places to help sponsor us? I was thinking of calling my local game stop and Play and Trade. What are your thoughts? t

I typically have trouble getting big chain stores to donate or sponsor anything. I'm sure there are limits to what the managers are allowed to do.

Your best bet would be a local/smaller store. You can try somewhere like Gamestop, but don't feel disappointed if they turn you down.

Glad to have you!

Looks like I'll be playing a mix of Monster Hunter Tri, MAG, and LBP GOTY, thats unless I pick up Castlevania by then.

Just joined Team CAG. I'm Ultimate Matt X on XBL and TheUMX on PSN. I'm going to Korea until the 10th, but I'll do the best I can to get donations between now and then.
