Donation Stream #2
If you wish to donate in advance and therefore get your requests played first, please donate by clicking this:
IF YOU DONATE, SEND ME A YOUTUBE PM TELLING ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND YOUR REQUEST!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section I - Introduction
Hi! Some of you may remember the donation stream I did last year with my good friend UltraJMan. If you liked that stream, you're sure to love this one! Here's the shimmy - same deal as last time, a 3-day donation stream, lasting from Friday, April 2nd, to Sunday, April 4th. However, this is no ordinary donation stream, my friends! The next few sections will be going over the usual hooplah, such as prices and game selection and whatnot. If you want to scroll to what's NEW, scroll down to section V - and believe me, you want to know what's new!
====NOTE: IF YOU READ ANYTHING IN THIS POST, READ THIS!====
I'm not going to sit here and lie to you all. The money you donate to me is going directly into my pocket. It will not be spent on "LP-related materials" or any derivative of that. I may buy games with it, I may buy movies with it, I may go out to dinner with it. If you're not okay with that, please do not donate.
I'm a firm believer in spending your life doing what you love doing, not doing what you have to be doing. It may sound corny, but I consider myself an entertainer, and I consider you all to be fans of what I do, and at the end of the day, what I love doing is entertaining you guys. Out of every stream I've ever done (and there have been plenty, most of you know this), only two including this one have had anything to do with money. I do the things I do on YouTube and on UStream to entertain you all, and I very rarely ever ask for anything back, but I, like everyone else, want to make some money every once in a while doing what I love doing. I'm not forcing you to pay me - if you don't want to give me any money, I don't want you to. Just show up and watch, any bit of support helps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section II - Prices
As it was before, any donation of $5 nets you a time-slot for any game of your choosing, provided I can play it! Even non-emulatable console games! This means you can donate $5 to me and request that I play Zelda: Ocarina of Time for 30 minutes, and I will! Great, huh?
What if you want me to play for more than 30 minutes? You probably won't get to see much of OoT with only 30 minutes of gameplay, especially considering how hard I blow dick at video games. Good news! If you donate $10, I'll play for an hour!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section III - Game Selection
Sadly, this shit ain't perfect, and I'm not made of money (though that's where you come in). There are certain restrictions on what I can play for you, though there aren't many. Here they are.
I can play ANY game from the following systems: NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Wii, PlayStation*, Dreamcast*, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS*, Virtual Boy, Neo-Geo, any WonderSwan, any Atari pre-Jaguar, Commodore 64, Colecovision, Intellivision, Arcade* and more (less obvious ones)
I MIGHT be able to play games from the following systems: PlayStation 2*, PC*, Saturn*, TurboGrafx*, XBox 360*, PlayStation 3*, and maybe more (less obvious ones)
I WILL NOT be able to play games from the following systems: XBox, GameCube, PSP
* indicates that you should get in contact with me first if you want to request a game for these systems
Even with those limitations, that's still a pretty fucking big list to choose from! Tons of games are up for request so don't shame away from a diamond in the rough. Though you would never do that, because knowing you guys, you're all gonna donate for me to play shit like Rise of the Robots. It's okay, I still love you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section IV - Co-Operative Gameplay
UltraJMan will be back, too! Just like last time, for $15 you can request CO-OP PLAYS!!! YES! If you spent any of your childhood playing games with your friends, you know for a fact that there are some real shitheaps out there. That's where we come in! For the low, low price of $15, we'll play any pile of ass you can think of! $15 is all it takes to watch us play through some of the worst (I'd say best but I know you won't request good games!) co-op shit ever made! A $15 donation towards a co-op play GUARANTEES you a 1 hour time-slot! If we like the game enough, we may even finish it! Wow! This sure does sound corny as hell!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section V - THE PERKS
This is what you've all been waiting for. I know what you're thinking over there. "Perp, I just gave you money a few months ago, and now you want me to give you more?! Surely you jest, my friend! Why, I would never even consider doing such a thing, unless-"
SHUT IT! So much hard work and careful planning has went into Donation Stream V2 that if I were to even begin to go into detail, your head would fucking explode. Last time when you donated to me, all you got was to watch me play a game. That was pretty cool and all, but since when have you known me to be a one-trick pony? (Don't answer this question.) This time around, I'm giving you so much fucking incentive to donate, that if you don't, you're probably fucked up on some hardcore shit that makes your brain all dumb.
BY DONATING $5 OR MORE, YOU WILL RECEIVE (all optional):
the ability to attach a challenge to your request, i.e. play Mega Man 2 one-handed*
an advertisement for your YouTube account by both J and I
a place in a raffle drawing which will determine J and I's next co-op LPs**
* - the challenge will apply to J as well if attached to a co-op request. regardless of the challenge's outcome, nothing regarding the actual donation will be changed. it's just for fun.
** - the raffle will likely be somewhere between 5-10 people who will each be able to pick one game for us to play. as long as we can LP it, it's fair game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VI - Goals and Rewards
Man, this shit just keeps getting better and better! As if all of the shit above isn't enough incentive for you to give me the $5 you were gonna spend at McDonalds, this just pushes it over the fucking top and sends it skyrocketing into fucking Pluto or some other god damn planet even farther away from us than Pluto that we haven't even discovered yet. Oh wait, Pluto isn't a planet anymore. Fuck that's stupid.
If you've never heard of a goal/reward system before, you're probably even more sheltered than I am, but I'm going to explain it to you anyway. For example, let's say one of the goals for the donation stream is to reach $100. Once this total is reached, I will reward you with something, in this situation, say, a kick right in the nads. You get it now? Good! Don't worry, the actual rewards are way cooler than that. In fact, here they are!
Since I made nearly $300 last time, the new maximum goal will be $250.
$50 - Team Stream Action (Lyrax, Paul, Rob, GWolf and I teaming up in Bad Company 2)
$100 - Worms Armageddon with DukeOfTheBump (Duke is comin' back)
$150 - Castle Crashers with friends, and maybe even you if there is an opening!
$200 - 4-player Splosion Man with J and I, Rom, Lyrax, Rob, G, whoever is around
$250 - Lawnmower Man Redux (J and I relive the nightmare)
$300 - I WANK ON STREAM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VII - Thanks
So there you have it, all of the shit you ever needed to know about my upcoming donation stream. Have questions? Ask! I'll gladly answer any question you have, as long as you send it to any of these places: YouTube PM, MSN: belzeber@hotmail.com, Skype: PerpetualAscent
I really hate to reiterate this, but once again, thank you all so much for showing interest in the stream. Whether you donate to me or not isn't important, what is important is that you're a fan of what I do and that you're eager to support me in any way you can, even if it's something as simple as watching a few minutes of my stream. Despite how odd it may sound, I don't do things like this for the money, I do it for my fans, but every once in a while I like to make some money doing what I love doing, and that just happens to be entertaining you folks.

Section VIII - Wrap-Up
Donate | Time
-------------------
$5 30 mins
$10 1 hour
$15 1 hour co-op LP with UltraJMan (could be finished if it goes over)
You can donate any amount you want! The amounts above are just for people who want something in return for their money! If you're just a nice guy and want to toss a buck my way, go ahead, it'll be greatly appreciated.
Just because you donate $5 or more DOES NOT mean you get a time-slot! You must SPECIFICALLY REQUEST ONE to get one. If I receive a donation from you worth $10 or more but with no request attached, YOU WILL NOT GET A TIME-SLOT. PLEASE TELL ME YOU WANT ONE IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DONATE $10 OR MORE.
NO ONE GETS MORE THAN ONE TIME-SLOT AT A TIME. Wow, that was confusing! What I mean is, if you happen to donate $50, you don't get 5 30 minute time-slots, or 2 co-op ones either. A $50 donator will be given the same choices as every other donator is given. However, you are allowed to donate twice! If you donate $10 during the stream, and sometime later you want to see another game, if you donate another $10, your request will be counted! But it's NOT CUMULATIVE. $50 does not net you more than one time-slot.
THIS IS NOT A 72-HOUR STREAM. I will not be streaming a constant 72 hours over next weekend. I, just like everyone else, will have to take breaks. HOWEVER, during those break times, the stream will stay up and I will play music and participate with the chat until I am ready to resume gaming. Believe it or not I have responsibilities that I have to take care of!
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO WATCH THE STREAM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO WATCH THE STREAM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO WATCH THE STREAM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO WATCH THE STREAM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO WATCH THE STREAM. Okay? It's just encouraged!
