$750 - UNLOCKED - Multiplayer Gaming Centre

Before I became part of the exclusive CSB parking club, I mapped out street parking all around C&W with a colour code legend that indicates time restrictions. I will release this to BCCHF staff if I reach $1000.

Last year was my first time participating in Extra Life and it was a blast. You can find footage of the entire marathon on my YouTube channel. I raised $1,216.22 in 2013. Donors received the privilege to vote for the games I played. But I want to do something different for this year....STAR WARS! I will be gaming all Star Wars games for 24 hours straight. I will also be watching Star Wars movies for 24 hours as well.
This year, I ask that you make a donation to support my efforts. For a donation of $20 or more, you are invited to come over to my place to partake in the Star Wars Extra Life event any time during the Marathon Sat 8am to Sun 8am.
Open House Event Details (Click here for details on coming to the event)
I have an elegant home theatre set-up so you can enjoy the Star Wars movies in pristine high definition on my 55" screen with full 5.1 channel DTS sound. I will provide food and beverages.
Experience STAR WARS the way it was meant to be watch! I will be showing the original trilogy without all the Special Edition changes in beautiful Hi-Definition. See this link for information about this fan-restored Despecialized Edition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHfLX_TMduY. There is no better way to watch the Star Wars movies. Re-live 1977 and feel like a kid again.
I am committed to play a variety of old school Star Wars games from the 1983 vector graphics Star Wars Arcade classic to the more recent Star Wars games and great classics like X-Wing, Dark Forces, Battlefront, and even Lego Star Wars!

I may also set up a few gaming PCs so people can drop in and play with me! Experience multiplayer Jedi vs. Sith Lightsaber deathmatches, or flying in a squadron of X-Wing Fighters against an Imperial Star Destroyer, or be a part of the Empire and take revenge on Ewoks by sniping those adorable little teddy bears into oblivion.
For those who aren't video gamers, I will also have a variety of Star Wars board games available to play. And for those who would like to challenge my Star Wars knowledge, I also have Star Wars Trivial Pursuit!
The whole marathon will be LIVE STREAMED once again.
