Extra Life 09 this weekend
This weekend is the weekend we’ve been building up to. That’s right, it’s time for some 24 hour charity gaming action!
Team Meerkat starts the Extra Life event at 8am PST (that’s 4pm GMT in the afternoon for you euros) on Saturday, and will continue to play games online for a full 24 hours until 8am (4pm GMT) on Sunday.
There are a few ways you can keep in touch with what we are doing and make sure we’re actually playing games, not goofing off;
Firstly, we will be streaming as much of the gameplay from the event as possible via two streams. We’ll also record the start, finish and any ’special’ moments for your repeat viewing pleasure. While we will strive to steam the whole event some games may cause live feed interruption, FPS’s have been playing up.
You can view the live steam, as well as any recordings, from Reishi’s computer here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/team-meerkat-live-reishi
You can view the live stream, as well as any recordings, from Akiliyan’s computer here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/team-meerkat-extra-life-event
We will also be making an appearance on MAD-Radio, a gaming related online radio station, twice. Our first show appearance will be at the start of the 24 hours to get things underway. The second appearance will be on Sunday, so you can hear how much we are hurting with only a few hours to go. Actual times posted Friday.
You can listen to the shows live at;
iTunes/VLC/Winamp – http://mad-radio.sytes.net:88/listen.pls

We’d like to thank all our sponsors so far for helping us reach our individual goals. Our team member Reishi has reached his goal of $300 in donations, yay, so if you’d still like to donate please consider our other members. http://www.teammeerkat.com/sponsor-team-meerkat/
