December is the month for giving gifts. So even though you are late I'm sure a few duders will be willing to throw a few donations your way. Good luck hitting your goal.

Good luck! Tempted to try throwing one up during the week we have off between Christmas and NYE.

@riostarwind@rorie Thank you both! I keep telling myself "24 hours of playing games and talking to yourself is no big deal, it's just being streamed online for a change" to make myself less nervous.

Oh man, it's so much more complicated than that, especially if you let chat choose what you play. I recommend just doing what you want and trying to let people get into it that way!

@rorie: I know, I'm just TELLING myself it's not that hard or complicated so I don't have a panic attack before the stream. More entertaining if I wait until I'm streaming to have a breakdown! And I'm more open to taking suggestions for what to play if people are kind enough to donate or watch - I've listed out some things I plan to play that are a little slower, less twitch based so I can think through what I'm doing and talk about that.

Any other tips for a newer solo streamer?

Sounds awesome, I'll try to stop by. I've been thinking of doing one of these myself, but I don't expect to be able to make any room for it for a while, probably far too late for anyone to still care.

@yummytreesap: Thanks duder! I'll be super-stoked to have someone watching for even a little bit. I"m telling myself every little bit for Nationwide Children's Hospital helps. And maybe a few people are looking to make a last minute charity donation before the end of the tax year? Either way, I hope to have fun with it and maybe be a part of the big weekend next year if work lines up right.

Last bit of shameless self-promotion here for the day: 30 minutes until I go live, begging for money for kids as part of Team Giant Bomb at http://twitch.tv/asmo917. Extra Life link is http://bit.ly/1M6gs64
