What a weekend! We blasted past all our goals and got so many gaming incentives that we need to do a bonus game to make our way through (there’s still TWO more tanks to fight!). That’s a great problem to have!

Thanks to all our donors and the viewers who hung our with us all weekend for the kids.

Join us tomorrow morning at 9am PST for a weekend of monster slaying, mutations, and TANKS! And of course, the banter.

I’m getting this message from my new wifi router tattooed on my forehead so the people will know who they’re dealing with.

The Magma Giant is painted, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

Get ready to watch it beat the stuffing out of Team Sensible Shoes in three weeks when we do our annual #EXTRALIFE marathon of Shadows of Brimstone!

We’ve crested $1000 now, and so I will paint up the Magma Giant so that it can pummel Team Sensible Shoes with its massive fists!

A Kitsune-turned-Dark Stone Shaman, a Sumo-turned-Nun, a ???-turned-Enforcer, and a ???-turned-Traveling Monk will fight the magma monsters for #EXTRALIFE next month!

I’ve received two coins recently that I quite like.

One to celebrate the good works of a friend, and one to celebrate my own good works and service.
Two metal coins. One with a styled skull exploding with wires that says “NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO THE COMPUTER,” and one that shows a game controller with wings and a pair of dice that says “EXTRA LIFE $10,000 RAISED.”

My $1000 fundraising milestone? Why, it’s their big brother, the Magma Giant! Look how plain he looks next to his little brothers.

Think of how great he’ll look smashing his fists of magma down on the hapless heroes of Team Sensible Shoes if he’s painted!

The painting milestone for my first $500 raised for this year’s #EXTRALIFE are these fabulous Magma Fiends. I am very happy happy with how they turned out, and they look great on the board with their lava trails.

Team Sensible Shoes will have a fiery good time fighting them in six weeks!

Okay, look, Starfield in its original form is not a great game, but hear me out here…

The Magma Fiends are nearly ready to take on Team Sensible Shoes in November for this year’s #EXTRALIFE

They like to eat too many rocks and then dribble magma all over the floors. Sort of like kitties, but worse.

I’ve already hit my first painting milestone: MAGMA FIENDS! I haven’t painted lava before, so this will definitely be a challenge. If we hit the second milestone I’ll also paint their boss, the Magma Giant!

10 hours of stream down. MATT DAMON has killed and eaten the corpse of every Legionnaire he has come across, INCLUDING CAESAR HIMSELF. Now he has claimed the throne of the Mojave Wasteland.

Numerous bounties to claim and over an hour of playing without my glasses still to go tomorrow!
