DAngun Feveron available via Limited Run Games!
Finally! One of my favorite arcade shooters is getting a physical release over at Limited Run Games. Originally released in arcades back in 1998, Dangun Feveron is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Cave. It's a bullet hell game that is bright and colorful, and has a Disco theme. This version of the game has been remastered by the amazing folks over at M2. If you're part of the all-digital future, you can pick this game up on the Xbox and Playstation stores. If you want to snag it at limited run, you can click here for the standard version, or here for the Collector's Edition. They're available only for the PS4.

Fundraiser Event Update
Hey friends! The first streaming fundraiser event is scheduled for April 17, 2021 at 2PM Pacific. I'll be playing some Rock Band 3, and playing a "concert" setlist. If we meet a donation goal by the end of the setlist, I'll play the encore setlist! I've also set up a new site at https://gamingforgood.stream that will serve to be a one stop shop about the upcoming events, and where to donate and learn more about Downtown Streets Team. I hope to see you at the first event! If you want to be prepared, be sure to follow me on Twitch.

Fundraising for Downtown Streets Team
Hello! I'm fundraising for Downtown Streets Team this year. Here's some info directly from the organization.
"We provide homeless and low-income men and women with the resources they need to rebuild their lives. First, they volunteer on one of our teams and begin working collaboratively on beautification projects. Team Members are held accountable and trusted to complete tasks, show up on time, and work well with others. Those who show dedication and leadership skills have the ability to rise up to become Team Leads, then Managers, and supervise others with little or no supervision from staff.
In return, Team Members receive a non-cash stipend to help cover their basic needs, while taking advantage of our case management and employment services to find housing and a job. Our ultimate goal is to transition Team Members into employment because having a job restores hope and opens the door to other opportunities. Our model is structured to be a one-year transitional program into permanent housing and employment."
I'll be trying to raise $5,000 by the end of the year. Keep an eye out for more information regarding when I'll be streaming.

Upcoming Charity Streams
Hey Time Travelers! Hopefully soon I'll have some details about this year's charity that I'll be streaming for. I'll be fundraising for the rest of the year once I finish working things out with the organization. I'm currently planning on a few different themed events, and coming up with ways to make it as, or more interactive than the 12 hour Extra Life Game Day that I did last year. I'll update everyone on the podcast, and post an update here when there's more to be said. In the meantime, happy gaming!

Extra Life Game Day was a huge success!
$1,725 was raised for the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. I'm incredibly humbled and impressed by the generosity I witnessed this weekend. I still think it is amazing that people will donate money to a cause while you play video games. This will be the first of many fundraisers for various causes. You can check out the full 14 hour stream on my twitch channel, or check out the highlights on our YouTube channel in the future.
Extra Life Game Day coming November 7, 2020!
This year I will be participating in the Extra Life Game Day on November 7th. This means I’ll be streaming games for a chunk of the day to fundraise for the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. Children’s hospitals have lost, on average, $67 million each month during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s help ensure all kids have quality healthcare when they need it. You can learn how local children's hospitals are being impacted by COVID-19 at kidscantwait.org. I’ll be joining thousands of others that will be fundraising for their local hospitals, and my goal is to raise $1,000. If you’d like to contribute, you can do so at https://extra-life.org/participant/MashTheNewton.
