Ok almost two years later I am going to try to resurrect this thread and attempt a London/SE Easy Allies meetup!! Sound off UK Allies!

And the follow up post:

Shameless plug for my blog!

You can find the first post of my ongoing series call the Video Game Memoirs here:

https://medium.com/@seb231/the-video-game-memoirs-1-sonic-the-hedgehog-sega-mega-drive-genesis-ebfb82fafd7c

In The Video Game Memoirs I recount memories I have which are closely tied to video games.

Actually started the blog a long, long time ago (actually before the non-starter that was Damiani's series which was due to be very similar!), but am reposting and continuing to work on it now in Medium. More readers will push me to produce more content, so please if you enjoy do share!

As my profile on Medium says: "[I am a] Data scientist, baker and retro video gamer", so as well as my Video Game Memoirs series you'll also find blogposts on data science and very occasionally baking, if you like either of those things as well!?

Anyone have any sort of idea what the overhead for releasing a convention demo to the general public might be?

Just looking at things like the Mega Man 11 demo EZA reported on and wondering why we all can't have a go? I know devs are worried that a demo might not be that stable, but early access games seem to do alright and people pay for those!

Thanks for the support @Lotias & @Brannox only one more day to go now!!

Can any UK/London Allies help me out with sourcing an elgato that works with a Mac?

I am not streamer but would like to just once for a charity stream I have coming up: https://forums.easyallies.com/topic/4640/final-fantasy-vii-in-24hrs-for-charity

Can anyone help? Am willing to pay with L&R/money/favours!

It's the number sequence Hotmail suggested to me about 15yrs ago... :(

Ah sorry should have said! (It is in on the JustGiving page!) Have updated it! (0600 GMT)

Hi

Hope it's okay to post this here and that the EZA community are supportive of what I'm trying to do! You all usually are! ;)

On December 16th (0600 GMT) I'm planning on attempting to play through Final Fantasy VII on the PS4 in 24 hours for charity. All donations will be going to The Alzheimer's Society.

You can find more details on my JustGiving site.

FYI that page is designed to be read by a non-gaming person so additional details: I will be using the 3x speed boost where I can, just to move story and battles along a bit quicker, and when really needed I might need to turn random battles on and off. I will not be using the instant healing and limit break cheat though!

I've played through FFVII several times now, the fastest probably being around 35hrs. I know it pretty well, but it'll still be a fun challenge to play through in 24 hours!

Please support me if you are able to!

I have just discovered there is a FatBurger in Camden, London (in the UK)!!

Anyone want to join me? Be cool to meet some UK Allies maybe?
