TSG 24/7 is ready to return on Monday September 5th. For those of you that are unfamiliar with TSG 24/7, it is a live-stream of me (Britt) and other TSG members playing video games as well as hosting interactive gaming related shows. The feed will be hosted on live.TheSpeedGamers.com
Since I announced that TSG 24/7 would go on hiatus in April I’ve thought through a lot of ideas in order to make our next attempt more successful. I really want to focus on gaming with the community, so multiplayer and cooperative games will play a big role in our shows. I want to feature a lot of free to play games so that it will be easier for the community to be involved. This time around there will be more structure with set schedules. However, even if something is not scheduled, there will still be a lot of bonus time where the stream will be used during unscheduled times.
Another change is the addition of a brief gaming news segment that I’ll start out each day with. I’m also looking to do a name change from the “TSG 24/7” moniker. While we will still be streaming around the clock, there will only be around 30 hours of scheduled shows during a one week period. The TSG 24/7 name gives the expectation of new scheduled content around the clock. What name do you think would fit better or are you satisfied with “TSG 24/7”?
The schedule below is subject to change. There will be some shifts added between now and September 5th. Scheduled times will be the same week to week for the most part, but the games being played will of course change.
TheSpeedGamer’s community is filled with talented people. One of which being forum user JasefWisener who has helped produce and host “Battledome” on his local Alabama TV station CCTV55. If you’re into competitive gaming, you should check it out!
“Battledome is TV’s only spot for competitive gaming, gaming news, and more. In a similar vein to G4’s Arena, a competitive gaming show from the early 2000s, each episode of Battledome features a video game competition that you won’t see anywhere else on TV. The competitions include anything from the latest competitive multiplayer game, such as Halo Reach, or even a retro score competition, such as Space Invaders. Mixed throughout the gaming is the latest news in the world of video games, as well as interviews with the episode’s players.
So grab your snacks and get comfortable, and we’ll see you in the dome!”
Our annual week long marathon is nearly here. This year we will be playing through the Star Wars series from July 8-15. We have chosen Direct Relief International to game for. After one of the worst tornado seasons in history, we wanted to do our part in helping recover from the numerous disasters that occurred this year. Our goal is to raise $30,000 which would put us over $300,000 total for our 3 year existence.
It’s hard to wrap my head around just how many games we are playing this year. Unlike our last marathon (Metroid) and many of our other previous events, there is less of an emphasis on “speed”. We have 168 hours to fill and getting that many people to volunteer let alone be at the top of their game is difficult. The runs will of course be fun and our commentary highly interactive and enjoyable.
You can of course watch all of our runs here on TheSpeedGamers.com along with our video commentary.
Be sure to be there at the start, we’ve got a special intro much like our last Mother marathon.
What an excellent end to a great marathon. Going into the last 24 hours of the Metroid marathon we had raised a little over $4,000 for Civic-Force. We ended with over $8,000 in donations, a huge surge from the auction, incredible! We really want to thank Fangamer for teaming up with us and bringing in over $1,500 for the cause. We look forward to collaborating with them again in the future. Also a big thank you to all of the players, commentators, chat ops, viewers and mods for volunteering their time to make this event so successful.
Our Star Wars marathon is up next, July 8-15. Keep checking back to TheSpeedGamers.com for more details.
