Harnessing the power of Nintendo franchises for charity, the folks at
TripleSpeedRunners will be spending 48 hours this weekend speed-running through games from the
Donkey Kong,
Star Fox, and
Kirby series. Live streaming of the event will be handled on the crew's website, with live commentary and chat available to cheer the players -- or jeer 'em if you're a player hater.
All proceeds from donations during the event will go to
DC Outreach, an organization that provides worldwide support to families affected by Dyskeratosis Congenita. Last time TSR got together, it raised $1,140 for the DC charity, but we know with the full support of the Joystiq BioMass behind them we can help them double that. Right, folks?
The speed-runs kick off this Friday at 7PM ET sharp.
