Grab some snacks, put on a pot of coffee and dig out your loose change because the MGC boys are back and we’re doing it for charity!
If you haven’t heard of Special Effect, then you need to read up. They do incredible work to improve the lives of the physically disabled by facilitating access to gaming via the use of innovative new technologies.
That’s the basic rundown but why take our word for it when you can hear from one of the amazing humans who has benefited from their works. Meet Lucy.
Special Effect is a cause that means a great deal to us. In our former lives as Sticktwiddlers we supported them via events and streams and we’re thrilled to finally be back on the streaming wagon and able to support them once again. To do that, we need your help…
So here’s the fun part. To entertain you all in return for what we hope will be a slew of generous donations to a worthy cause, we will be spending…24 HOURS IN THE APOCALYPSE!
We begin at 12PM (GMT) on Saturday 28th February and run through to 12PM (still GMT, why would it change?) on Sunday 1st March. Our Elite Zombie Response Team (just a bunch of muppets) will be playing Project Zomboid, the fun and absolutely horrifying open world zombie survival title from The Indie Stone.
We’d love you to give out of the goodness of your hearts, we’re happy to entertain you to entice but we’ve got a little something else up our sleeves. We’ve got freebies!
Throughout the stream, we’ll be giving away some amazing bits and pieces which have been given to us by some very kind souls.
GIVEAWAYS!
The folks at The Indie Stone have given us five codes for Project Zomboid. You too can build a base, gather supplies, fight for survival and ultimately get bitten and torn to shreds by shambling corpses. You lucky blighters!
Our good friends at Insert Coin have offered up 5 x £10 vouchers for use on their site. If you’ve not already checked out their incredible range of game inspired clothing and accessories, you’re missing out on some truly beautiful gear. Let your geek flag fly!
After hours of watching us run from the zombie hordes, you might want to get out into the world for a while and mingle with actual humans? Hollywood Bowl have you covered. With over 70 locations across the UK, Hollywood Bowl are one of the largest leisure entertainment companies in the country and they’ve kindly provided 2 x £10 vouchers and 1 x £20 voucher to be spent at any of their locations. We’ve also been given 10 vouchers for free games for their Yeovil location, so viewers in the South West (or anyone who realllllly likes bowling and is willing to travel) are in for a treat.
A huge thank you to all our sponsors, your support means the world to us!
All prizes will be doled out at random, pick-a-viewer style, throughout the course of our 24 hour zombie ztompin’ zession. Damn, try saying that three times fast. We’ll do the first giveaway when we receive our first donation and then we’ll go with the flow as the stream goes on.
So, giveaways, good times and ghoulish goings-on. What more could you want? Please, share the ever loving crap out of this post. Post it on socials, tell your friends, shout it at passers by. We want to get as many eyes-on as possible and in turn we hope that will turn into a big pile of cash to help Special Effect continue their incredible work.
You can tune in over on Twitch and the donation link IS THIS GREAT BIG ONE, RIGHT HERE.
See you in the apocalypse, y’all. Much love!
