$26,860 so far and they have been playing for 85 hours and 12 minutes!!

They beat Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy and have then gone through and completed all to 100% except Sunshine which they are doing now.

It's that time again!!

They started on friday and by the second day they already passed the amount that was donated last year.

As of right now they are at $35,423 and have beat 516 of the 659 levels that have been unlocked. For those that don't know there are 809 levels total combined among the games they have chosen. Certain donation amounts unlock levels and the donations have unlocked 656. If the donations don't continue, they stop at the remaining level and go no further. If the total amount is received, they will have to complete all 809. Huge feat indeed both in donations and skill. The total donation amount to unlock everything would have to be $156,611.19!!

wil wheaton called in yesterday afternoon!!

I missed that but am going to try and go back through the stream later or tomorrow. Luckily they save/archive all of them when the end and jump to the next session.

I really want to see them go through Galaxy 2 100% but the odds of them reaching almost $79K is not highly likely.

The dude on there this afternoon/evening is very annoying. AfroTat guy is what they are calling him and his voice is not coming through softly with their mic. Plus he talks very loud. If I was one of the other guys that are on sleep break, I would kill him. It's almost midnight there and he is screaming while playing the guitar.
