As you may know, several years ago the folks over at
SDA started a yearly charity marathon now known as
Awesome Games Done Quick and AGDQ 2014 (
which we participated in) raised more than $1 million in donations for the
Prevent Cancer Foundation. As cancer claimed the lives of three of my grandparents when I was young I am motivated to support the AGDQ charity efforts any way I can. As part of this goal I've worked hard to
organize the TASBot block for
AGDQ 2015 (with massive amounts of help from people like Ilari, Masterjun, p4plus2, micro500, Weatherton, true, and a host of others) and I'm really proud of what we'll be able to show during our ~40 minute TASBot block on
2015-01-04 at 5:05 EST. One of my goals is to bring more attention to TASVideos.org by demonstrating what the site has to offer. Good donation incentives and raffle prizes go a long way toward increasing viewership which will help increase the exposure of the site, and I need your help.
Do you have an old copy of Pokemon you'd like to donate as a raffle prize? How about an old console? Perhaps game-themed costumes or plushies in good shape? Any unique things you've been holding on to that you don't really have any need to store any longer? Donate them as raffle prizes during the TASBot block! You'll even get your shipping reimbursed by the
Prevent Cancer Foundation, so there's no cost to donate other than the item itself. You can sign up to donate a prize at:

If you have a donation incentive idea or if you are able to donate something for the block, please post about it here. All donations made by viewers watching AGDQ 2015 will go directly to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, so you'll also be helping out a good charity. I'm hoping to see $25k donated by viewers during our 40 minute block and I greatly appreciate anything you can do to help. Thanks in advance!

I'm glad to be able to contribute these as prizes and I think the Pikachu mask will fit in well. In other news, I'm head-down on finalizing the payload for the total control segment of the run and I hope to be able to have something finalized in the next couple of days, although inevitably there will be tweaks until the last hour like there always are. :) Thanks again to everyone for the support!
