If anyone is still saving their donation DO NOT WAIT until 11:59 PST, do it like 20 - 10 min. before.

Don't risk a large amount due to wepay going down.

I'm happy to be worth remembering :)
Life is so-so, I'm reasonably well to do. But those with Breast Cancer and those holding onto the hope that a game like Melee can make it need all the help they can get.

like, the fact that we got this ****ing far makes me want to donate the second i get back to my room
I've been telling myself i can't afford this for the past month pr so, but now I don't even care
money is temporary, being able to say not just that I remember this
but that I was a PART of this
that's forever

That's how I feel too. You, me and everyone.

Be damn well sure you stand up and make them always remember the day that Melee stood at the highest echelon of fighting games of our time.

That's how I felt when I dropped a hundred just now, lol, I've given $150 total now despite not really having that kinda scrap to throw around at this time. I can give up on a couple games I wanted / nice lunches / whatever to say that I was part of this, that win or lose I did something, was part of something bigger than myself.

Donate my dude. Feels good.

Let's keep going, people! The other games still have close to two hours to surpass us.

Remember folks, Redact still hasn't donated, whatever minute he donates in will assuredly raise more money than either of the other games raise in that minute.

But scrape up as much leftover dough as you can. We can actually do this, but not if we stop and count on our lead and forget just how easily we can get sniped (speaking of which, do we have snipers lined up in some capacity? Are secret holdouts getting ready to drop some major money?)

Much as I hate to say it, I need to go to bed. Good luck Melee. When I wake up, win or lose, I'll be proud of us.

^No. Do not think like that.

60k? That's absurd guys, in the most positive way possible.

Might have to keep an eye on the final hour or so, with my credit card ready. =D

Then you realize that the gap is only a mere 15k or so difference lead. That is not much at all considered the huge sum ST got in the form of like 20k+ or something like that.

Their VAs and hundred dollar donations are definitely a threat. Too bad we don't have such a luxury =(

You may very well have the single oldest account I have ever seen on this site unless I'm forgetting one of the super-vets.

Someone get this man Scar's Paypal, I don't know it

Well of course, there's no sitting down quietly now.

But, 60k is an insane amount of money, I honestly didn't think it would get that high.

Kudos to Skullgirls for pushing the challenge.
