Dokapon Kingdom live. WE'RE HAVING A SALE.

[@steelers0398]

It's a robbery sale!

[@anexplosion5436]

+steelers0398 Everything's free! If your good at Ro Sham Bo.

[@stickfigure8416]

It can't be Dokapon, they said 3 days not 3 weeks

[@y2k890]

Aaron Olson They actually have all of the rest of Dokapon recorded so no.

[@owez08]

Nah they finished Dokapon in May last year but just haven't been uploading due to having new series' to upload

[@SuperMCGamer]

So glad that we could pull this event together! Everyone has been so awesome to work with, this event is going to be off the hook~ If anyone reading comments has questions about the event, or the charity, I can help answer those!

[@crimsonpotatogod7465]

Heh i had to remind josh to announce it xD

[@Unimportant]

Will the VODs be saved and uploaded somewhere outside of twitch? Sometimes the Twitch website is a bit weird with my computer and I won't be able to catch the full streams, it would be nice to go back and catch some of my favorite games.

[@percher4824]

Will the streams be uploaded to KZbin at a later date?

[@SuperMCGamer]

SugarSmear That's up to the main Runaway Guys crew. I'll be recording it for them no matter what.

[@SuperMCGamer]

Nightmare Cookie That's up to the main Runaway Guys crew. I'll be recording it for them no matter what.

[@AttackingTucans]

I’m so excited! Can’t contain myself 🤯

[@Kisher02]

Me too, I'm hyped to see you all together!

[@TheRunawayGuys]

Please actually contain yourself, Tyler.

[@AttackingTucans]

TheRunawayGuys *jumps head first out of a window*

[@LinkMountaineer]

TheRunawayGuys Containment unattainable.

[@Tyranogre]

So, when’s The Runaway Guys XD: Gale of Darkness coming out?

[@SuperMCGamer]

Tyranogre sorry, we ran out of Shadow Balls

[@xNico1412]

Lol XD

[@stonexl]

Well looks like I've got Star Wars Day plans now.

[@gummybearchewy5444]

StoneXL same

[@bc2014]

If Twitch is sponsoring this, considering it will probably hit front page, I think it is highly likely we are looking at raising a healthy six figures here. Can't wait for it and to do my bit by donating.

[@phanpyken986]

Predictions for colosseum Mario Party Wii Party Wheel of fortune Mario Kart Smash Edit:Well I got all 5 correct

[@TheVeyron623]

And a bunch of people donating and putting Chugga in a team with Masae because lolshippers.

[@emilygendelman1612]

I love it when popular KZbinr use the power and influence they have to help and do good, it gives me a little more faith in humanity!

[@434444334]

Who's hoping for the bagel hour An hour where bagel comes in and just TAKES OVER

[@Rexaura888]

434444334 It would be nice, but it sounds like from Tom’s announcement and MC confirming that Reese won’t be attending that Bagel’s likely staying at home.

[@434444334]

Rexaura888 Reese is attending Tom said lucahjin will be there lol

[@434444334]

So I guess Liam's kitty sitting again :(

[@Rexaura888]

434444334 Reese’s twitter and MC, one of the guys working behind the scenes for this event, say otherwise, though Reese’s tweet also says that she’s going to try to attend regardless.

[@Rexaura888]

434444334 As for what I’d meant by Tom’s announcement, I was more referring to the fact that everyone is getting flown out to a yet-to-be named location. It’s certainly not Jon’s house, that’s for sure. That place doesn’t have the capacity to fit everyone comfortably with the recording and streaming setup and the gods know how many consoles and associated wiring will be brought.

[@bluemariomedia8351]

please have the donation box be heart-shape!!!!!!

[@CrypticNazo]

I imagine they're using a personalized version of Zeldathon's Kinstone donation system since MC helped them get everything worked out. That's not to say that it can't be heart shaped, just that it's probably going to be rectangular.

[@taccm386]

im in daisy's heart shaped box

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

A box of chocolates? On valentines day?

[@bluemariomedia8351]

Karel Hnedkovsky um... yeah like that.

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

Blue Mario Media I was quoting Emile! I know the full thing!

[@LotteYanson]

What a way to kick off my summer break! I come home from my finals to watch a TRG stream!

[@inaccurateprophecy8971]

Golly, you sure get out early.

[@LotteYanson]

Inaccurate Prophecy It’s college. The spring semester ends on the fourth and I’m not taking any summer classes

[@cartooncritic7045]

I get Fridays off anyway, so I might just wake up to this stream.

[@Tabbychu]

Oh my god. This is amazing! I'm so excited for this. I love tuning into these charity streams, they're so fun. Especially when the viewers and donaters get to have a say in what happens! I'm so excited you guys are doing this

[@Shiningsilver013]

I teared up at this because Zeldathon is my favorite charity marathon to watch and I'm so excited to see something very similar from a group of my favorite creators. Zeldathon means a lot to me, so I can only imagine how much this is going to effect me.

[@dude071297]

Wow, this event has an incredible amount of support. I'll definitely be tuning in, I hope it goes incredibly well, and that you raise all raise a ton!

[@jasonnguyen8239]

Doing 10 hours of playing games, donators get to mess with them, and it is happening live with seeing their reactions live as well?! Chuggaaconroy, watch yourself or else we will see another innocent loss in part 3! Someone get me a popcorns because this will be amazing as heck!

[@pitmarthroylivestreams]

Awesome, right after my classes at university end for the semester! And it's always great to be able to support these kind of charity events as best we can. See you there, TRG!

[@WARRIOR4LIFE9761]

I'm glad you guys are doing something for chairty. I already love you guys but just hearing this brings ease and comfront. I can't wait for the stream.

[@toon6847]

I am so hyped for this now. I'm definitely donating and best part is, I can laugh my as.. I mean butt off while watching and I get to feel good about the donations!

[@rinarisato1431]

This is really cool, well done guys, I'll be tuning in for sure.

[@rustyvent]

Hey, that's right before my birthday! Best present ever...

[@OnigiriVal]

I'm incredibly excited for this!!! I can't wait to support you guys, this is such an amazing cause ;u;

[@blacktoad2425]

Excited to be here! Hope to see some great people and games. Love you guys!

[@danny18894]

I'm so excited to see this , I can't wait . Time to save up money to have ready to donate and placing the dates on my calendar

[@FeyPhantom]

This is so Hype~! Gotta mark it on my calendar right away

[@rayjams3165]

Oh man, this is gonna be hype! I can already imagine all the crazy stuff that's gonna come out of this event.

[@SLucarioM]

Oh my god, this might just be the sequel to Chugga does Daisy on hard This is gonna be so good, I’m SO excited! ;D

[@JStan96]

My birthday is on the 6th! So glad I can spend it watching some TRG shenanigans.

[@PSVIEWR]

That is nice of what you guys are doing. I hope this fundraiser goes well.

[@captainquadrikorn1437]

I'm crying I'm so excited!!! You don't understand how much this means to me for several different reasons!!!

[@kylgrv]

I'm very curious to see how this goes. I'll definitely be sure to tune in for that. You guys are some of the best gamers I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@FierySnips]

This is incredible! I'm super excited for this and I can't wait to see what you guys have planned. I'll spread the word as best I can!

[@DarkMephiles]

This sounds awesome. And working recreation in the pacific time zone means I'll barely get to see any of it. YAY!!! But seriously I'll do my best to try and see as much as I can. Should be fun.

[@crowofcainhurst2236]

I am looking so forward to this!

[@frostycloud289]

YES!! I can't wait! I'm so ready!

[@Veowe3]

Sounds amazing! Wish I had put in for my vacation to be during the first week of May lol.

[@blue_boo3171]

Everyone, make sure you have a good seat for the event. You don't want to sit down to watch only to find out you have a broken *chair-ity!*

[@rarm5899]

Is this the big thing Emile has been working on?

[@shinysylveon1652]

Yes it is

[@hereonly2comment]

Nicktendo 1 I thought that would be his 10 year anniversary video

[@TheRunawayGuys]

That's something else. Jon and MC/Direct Relief have handled most of the work on this one.

[@kcytoad3001]

TheRunawayGuys More future hype!!

[@Ian-bf4yk]

TheRunawayGuys you replied

[@Botan570]

This is an awesome way to spend my birthday!

[@alyarin9000]

I normally don't watch streams, but anything for you guys ;) Something to look forward to! Let's see some big earnings from this.

[@fsnisa9118]

Fun does not describe how great this going to be.

[@mitchinatr7093]

Stupid cool you guys are doing this. I’ll try to tune in as much as I can.

[@jaidora]

Not sure if I'll be watching the whole stream but I look forward to seeing everyone have a blast, Tyler annoying Josh, Masae unleashing her wrath whenever Chugga makes a bad pun, NCS performing magic, and many more like you and Tom Fawkes joking around when you all played fortune street

[@Shiny_Misty]

So... Marriland being a part of this drove me up a wall! :D Like...A LOT! It makes me super happy and really hyped for it! ...and I can donate to mess with him...*grins evilly*

[@Shiny_Plume]

This sounds like fun. I can’t wait to tune in.

[@iConnerW]

Yo, this is amazing news!! I know Direct Relief is one of the best charities out there, and hearing MC is involved is amazing, he's such a great guy, and Zeldathon is something I look forward to all year, so I know this will be great! I can't wait to see everything you have in store!

[@Flexor35]

Sounds great, looking forward to it.

[@wyattm2879]

Chugga hears Mario party and flashes back to the Mario party 6 stream

[@richardu7970]

4th-6th huh. Damn, days before Finals happen. I'm sure to catch at least on of those days at least though! I look forward to all of this and it will be great seeing all of the old player 4s together though!

[@PieFights]

Cool Can't wait for this will be watching this!!!!

[@ciciizo1193]

This sounds cool, I'm probably not going to make it though, but if it could be uploaded on KZbin, I'll try to find time to watch all three days (depending on what games are presented here). Congrats on making this possible, and it's nice for you to do this for charity too~

[@FlameSwordedLink]

May the fourth be with charity!

[@Souvlaki96]

This is gonna be awesome!

[@cartooncritic7045]

Welp, looks like it's time to make a proper Twitch account. Probably won't be able to donate due to lack of disposable income, but I want to watch the insanity and interact with everyone. Sounds like it'll be loads of fun.

[@Rexaura888]

Cartoon Critic Well, if you can’t catch it live, likely the Twitch Stream Archive will have each stream up shortly (within a day or two) after their respective end. That’s where I’ll be catching them at any rate.

[@SuperMCGamer]

That's what it's about, enjoy it, and if people can throw in a few bucks to the charity, we're all about that.

[@gummybearchewy5444]

So excited for this.

[@alex5623]

So this is what Chugga and the others have been working on I am extremely hyped and proud if this event works out well!

[@platypusfriend77]

There’s no way that I won’t be working at least two of those days, but I’ll definitely catch what I can. Very excited!

[@sunsethourglass4406]

Aaaahhhh I'm so excited!! I may not have money to donate; BUT I will do my best to be there for all three days of the stream if I have the time!

[@Alfe5]

Omg yes! I can not wait for this

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Sweet. Props to you for doing a charity stream, with so many past collaborators and guests for LPs on the channel. My only regret? SirEnobMort and his brother, KoopaKungFu, aren't on the list of guests.

[@nathanbouchie3697]

I can't wait for this!

[@Bluedino152]

I wonder if this is that "big project" Chugaa mentioned once or twice recently? I'm guessing not and it's likely something of his own, but still, it could be a thing.

[@KritiKyle]

Blueyoshi keep in mind, that Chuggaa does most of the editing, so this could very well be the thing he was mentioning.

[@giannameisner1536]

KritiKyle Yeah, but I don’t know what he would be editing as this is a live-streaming event. Live streams aren’t live, they’re, well, live.

[@Pikachu2Ash]

There is a TRG post on another thrend(on this video) that clarifies it isn't.

[@Bluedino152]

Ah, that so. Well that clears it up then.

[@amnot9958]

Man, I don't think i can stay through ten hours for three days! This is an amazing thing yourdoing, and I will donate if I can. I just hope this is Reuploaded somewhere.

[@DoomShadowe]

This is going to be incredible! I'll need to figure out how to donate, never done it before

[@bornabrawler]

I know this is coming from a guy who has no affiliation with ANY part of this, but as a long time viewer of Zeldathon I can confirm how legitimate it is and how well it will be produced. MC is the lord of charity marathons and has been doing this for a very long time: it's in good hands. The charity, Direct Relief, is a popular charity for Zeldathon. The organization itself is transparent and worth supporting. I'm very excited to hear this news, as it gives me another gaming charity marathon to watch (And donate to) this year. From the sounds of things it should be awesome!

[@tommyblack6135]

the weekend before my birthday no less? I'm asking for that time off immediately. I can't wait. :D

[@liamfunnyman6965]

I cannot wait for this

[@addepower12]

Oh great that means i can watch the whole stream, looking forward to it! :3

[@wymarsane7305]

May the Fourth be with you guys.

[@nesskirby7]

I'll definitely be watching the stream day 1.

[@toddsnap3317]

May the 4th be with you, Jon.

[@OwlBreaker]

Me: "Yay! Something to look forward to!" Work: "Yeah, I'm going to need to come in on May 4th, 5th and 6th..."

[@BlueKnight85]

After the crapfest my college life has been over the last several months, this will be a fantastic way to kick off the break! I might actually donate for once, which is something I usually can't do due to lack on money. But I actually have cash on me for once, so I can't wait!

[@hedecky58]

I. CAN'T. WAIT!

[@TheGamerGuardian1]

This is gonna be soooooo hype, time to skip out on school for this, bye bye perfect attendance

[@TheSilverLeaf79]

Going to save up a LOT of money for this!

[@shinyklefki99]

I'm mad excited for this

[@neond6740]

I bet this is gonna be super cool!

[@thelurker8169]

Can't wait for TRG XD Gale of Darkness

[@Tachiiiiii]

May the 4th be with you

[@PPeasants]

JON VERSUS STEPHEN KIRBY DREAM COURSE PLEASE

[@ProcrastPerfection]

The timing on this is gonna be perfect. Finals will be wrapping up so I can have an excuse to treat myself plus plenty of mindless packing to do during the stream.

[@mikomakowski7907]

Oh my gosh, this is literally the project jirachi with more stuff. The crazy thing is I was just thinking about that stream.

[@galarianmike283]

OH BOY THIS WILL BE FUN

[@colinmacv]

IM SO HYPED

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Charity streams are great.

[@nathanknapczyk2300]

MY BODY IS REGGIE! But in all reality, so excited to see this and donate to direct relief.

[@Jaenera]

Can't wait

[@Heyimconnor]

This is starting on my birthday. Best. Birthday. EVER!!!

[@agentredhead4612]

Oh, this is awesome!

[@GmodPlusWoW]

This is going to make for a wild ride. Just to confirm, though, will there be VoDs and/or highlight reels later? In case of folks who can't quit, or are otherwise unable to take in all 30 hours of this thick, juicy megastream. I'll certainly make time to catch the stream, since I'll probably be done with DoctorTale before Easter, but I imagine there'll be a lot of juicy moments that I may miss due to other potential commitments.

[@theenderengineer1943]

Now I'm eager for this.

[@blazingbuizel7194]

I'm following you on Twitch RIGHT NOW

[@strawbbit]

That’s awesome guys!

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

YEAAS!! I'm Hype!

[@theyankeegal13]

Some ideas that I want to see Ten dollar donation: Chuggaa has to eat an entire bag of marshmellows but with a catch, no one is allowed to make him laugh when he's eating marshmellows Another incentive whatever those three decide: NCS and chuggaa have to sing a duet of a non copyrighted song of their choice, video game music included Another incentive: One of the guys has to play part of game blindfolded, if it's an RPG maybe one of them go through a certain area blindfolded, those three set the donation amount Five dollar donation: Chuggaa has to play a round of Mario kart standing on his head. No exceptions, no chickening out.

[@YellowFalse]

Faster than All! WHOOO! Great theme.

[@awesomeallen21]

i can't wait

[@Megazonian]

Chuggaa’s lost Colosseum

[@ShadowZone1996]

As a loyal Zeldathon watcher since 2011 I know how much this has to mean for MC. I can't wait.

[@wake-archus]

i am wondering how this is going to play out cant wait time to start acruing those bits
