SEGATHON 3: Air Date & Stretch "Goals" Announced

Find out when we'll be holding our third 24 hour fundraiser, as well as the lowdown on what we'll be doing to torture Gavvie!

Last night on Saturday Night SEGA, I exclusively revealed the air date for SEGATHON 3, our charity fundraiser which, this time, is raising money for Marie Curie.

As you may have previously known, we were looking at two weekends in particular, but had to wait until certain plans had been made before we could confirm which one we would use. These plans are still yet to be made, but I have been told that one of them will be definitely free, so I'm finally able to confirm the date. And that date is...Friday 23rd October!

Yes, SEGATHON 3 will be airing in just over 3 weeks time, from 11pm UK Time until 11pm UK Time the following day, and we'll be raising money for Marie Curie. If you haven't heard of the charity, and the work they do, I'll be posting an article up next week with more information.

In order to aid our fundraising this year, we're doing something a little different to previous SEGATHONs. If you listened to either of the first two, you would know of the SEGATHON Raffle, where kind community members (and dev studios) donated bits and bobs that we then raffled off to listeners who had donated. If you listened to SEGATHON 2 in particular, you'd also know that I proclaimed that I would buy Hatsune Miku: Project Diva-F if my personal fundraising goal of £1500 was met, which I followed through on once we did.

This time, due to the short notice and arrangement of SEGATHON 3, we're not bringing the Raffle back, but we ARE introducing "Goals" which enable you to inflict punishment on me for meeting various targets. They go up in £500 increments, and are stackable, meaning the further up the ladder we go, the more I have to do. Ready to see what we've got so far? Here we go...

£500 - I will watch the entire Twilight Saga on DVD, stretched over 5 individual days, and will have all electronic devices BANNED whilst doing so. Mena will watch them with me, and tweet confirmation that each film has been watched.

£1000 - I will buy (or acquire, if I can contact SEGA Europe and they're willing to pitch in) a copy of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva-F 2nd on either PS3 or PS Vita, dependant on which one is cheaper/available. Confirmation of this "goal" will take place via a video posted to the RadioSEGA Twitter account.

£1500 - I will buy (or, again, acquire if SEGA Europe are feeling SUPER generous) a copy of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX on Nintendo 3DS. Confirmation, again, will come via a video on the RS Twitter account.

£2000 - The Twilight "goal" is upgraded to Level 2 - Instead of watching all five films over 5 days, I will marathon the entire series over 1 day. Yes, I will spend 10 hours, otherwise known as an entire day off, watching one of the most awful series of films known to Hollywood. Again, all electronic devices are banned and Mena will tweet confirmation upon completion.

£2500 / 3000 / 3500 / 4000 / 4500 - All of these goals are yet to be decided, and will most likely be decided either prior to SEGATHON 3 or during the fundraiser itself, should we happen to get this far and need to plan for them.

These next two...well, they're pipe dreams, and I am not expecting to hit £2000, let alone what I'm about to type. In my head, however, this is my personal target, and if we get this far, then I'm willing to not only watch 5 Twilight films in one day AND buy not one, but TWO Hatsune Miku games, but ALSO...

£5000 - I will watch every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that is currently available on Netflix UK. At the time of publication, that's FOUR SEASONS and, should more get added whilst I'm halfway through, they'll be included too. Confirmation of completion will be made via a video, posted after each season, showing that all episodes have a full red bar indicating that they have been watched. BUT WAIT! There's one more...

£5500 - SHOULD WE GET THIS FAR...I'll ALSO watch the two MLP:FiM Equestria Girls films that Netflix have as well. I'm told that there's three in total, so should the third one get added before completion of this "goal", that will be included. Confirmation, as before, will take place via a video showing both videos as fully watched.

I feel as though these last two are far enough away that they shouldn't be a problem, however it could all change come Friday 23rd October...

Next week, I'll share more information on our chosen charity, as well as reveal any new "goals" that might have been created in the next week or so. I hope you're as excited to tune in and raise some cash as I am to actually get on air and do it!

Cheers!
