This is arguably the worst kept secret here at CollegeKidApp so far, but I'll officially let the cat out of the bag and let you all know that we're planning Metroid Prime marathon in coordination with the Four48 team kicking off on June 12th to help raise some awareness and hopefully a small amount of funding for CollegeKidApp.com.
For those of you who are familiar with our old Zelda marathons on www.CameronBanga.com, you will be familiar with the format and run down of what will be going down. If not, we'll then expect us playing through the Metroid Prime series in under 30 hours. Our expert gamer, Chris Vavra, will be manning the controller for most of the event (he's the man who helped us finish all four 3D Zeldas in under 48 hours). I'll be MCing for the most part. Hopefully Liam will even be back with life lessons? I guess we'll need to wait about 3 weeks to find out haha.
We'll have a Justin.tv link, chats, and all the goodies ready to go once the event starts. We'd also like to run a couple concurrent events while we do our marathon as well. Specifically, I'd love to throw a Metroid Prime: Hunters tournament during the event. I'd also like to see other people play along side us on Justin.tv while we race through as well. If you're interested in either of these two things, send me an e-mail to Cameron@CollegeKidApp.com. We're also looking for an artist to help develop some artwork, so if you love Metroid and Photoshop, drop me a line as well.
While somewhat selfish, I must admit, we will be collecting donations to help benefit CollegeKidApp through this marathon. This new development has become quite the passion of mine and I would greatly appreciate a few bucks here or there to help fund what we need to make our dreams a reality. As of right now, we're not sure as to if we'll make any profit off these applications and it would be amazing if we could see help in paying for some costly development tools.
For this, we're encouraging small donations of a few bucks if available through PayPal. Our goal and ideal plan would be to make $10 per hour played. Think of this as inserting a token at Chuck E. Cheese and we're the equivilant of The Simpsons arcade game, so you know you want to put in at least $2.00 in quarters haha.
If we can make over $300, Chris and I have already talked and we will be playing a medley of games for a while after the Metroid marathon. Basically, if we reach our goal, we'll be playing Smash Bros, Mario Kart, basically anything you guys want that we have.
To make a donation, you can use the PayPal link below. Again, anything you're able to contribute is greatly appreciated. Heck, we'll maybe even try to throw in a special thanks to you in whatever application we can get up in the iTunes App Store. As I stated earlier, our goal is $300 and we'd love $50 or so before the marathon starts, just to help make sure we can have some sort of return here. It's super costly and difficult to throw one of these things.
Any questions or comments? Send them to Cameron@CollegeKidApp.com. I'd love to know if you're going to be watching.
