OnLive and Extra Life Offer Free Day of Gaming

by on October 9, 2014
 

From 12:01 AM PST, October 9 (that’s today!) to 11:59 PM PST, October 9, 2014, you’ll be able to play a huge selection of games on OnLive, completely free, and raise money for charity while you’re at it.

To help Extra Life prepare for its 7th annual Game Day event—a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise money for 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across North America —OnLive is hosting its own CloudPlay for a Cause day of free gaming on October 9. Again, today.

Anyone who registers for Extra Life and joins OnLive will not only raise money to help sick or injured children, but also be rewarded for their fundraising efforts with a chance to win additional prizes from partners such as Nordic Games, Mad Catz and WikiPad.

“We’re excited to team up with Extra Life and gaming enthusiasts everywhere to truly make a difference for these kids and their families,” said Jeff Wood, captain of OnLive’s Extra Life Team.

“Our hope is to rally awareness and participation for Extra Life in advance of their Game Day marathon by offering free gaming and multiple tiers of rewards to anyone who joins in and games for the cause. And we’re thrilled that our partners are joining forces with us to help maximize our impact for these kids.”

So what are you waiting for? Join the team by clicking here, and then head over to the OnLive site and start playing.

This will be a good stress test for their servers…

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
