Giant Bomb Community Extra Life Archive 2018
By riostarwind 18 Comments
Here we are again my friends. The time of year when the Giant Bomb community live streams video games to raise money for a good cause. While the main thread is a good place to start I always feel like a handy chart is a quicker way to see what everyone is doing. This chart will be updated constantly whenever I notice new users joining in on the fun. Like always if you want to be added to this list just PM me. Plus if you find a mistake let me know.
http://www.explosiveruns.com/ should still be your one stop shop for Giant Bomb community streams.
Let's beat our goal from last year! Going over 250k should be a piece of cake for this generous community.
*Update* $293,983 raised for Extra Life
We Blew past our goal once again. Our combined effort has now brought help to so many kids all over North America. It was thanks to all of the sweet donations and all of our great streamers. Yet Extra Life day may be behind us but streaming for EL does not stop. Some more live streams will be going on later this month. I'll put another mini chart above the old one so anyone checking this out will be able to find them easily.
