Q: Come on, you guys are just going to take the money I donate for your own evil schemes, right?

A: Don't worry. Even if we were sick and evil enough to want to steal donations, we can't. If you check the chipin box, your money is going STRAIGHT to Child's Play's paypal. ChipIn will record who donated though, so we know who to get the prizes to. Don't worry. Not only are we not going to steal your money, we physically cannot steal your money.

Q: Why is there a chatroom here. The chatroom is stupid, and you are stupid too.

A: The chatroom is for audience interaction. It is NOT for saying "LOL I LIKE BUTTS AND SO DO YOU" over and over again. A big part of all of this is audience interaction. We'd love to talk to you as much as possible. Good discussion topics are...      -  Telling us what mistakes we're making, and mocking us for being bad at halo. We're aware that we suck. That doesn't mean you should say "You guys suck and I can beat you all because you're stupid". It means that if we jump off of a cliff, feel free to call us idiots.      -  Giving us pointers. If you know an easier way to get through a place that we're stuck at, PLEASE speak up. Your guy's help is part of why we have a chatroom.      -  Talk amongst yourselves. The more of you that are in there, the more likely more people will stay, and hopefully donate. Things to avoid are...      -  CAPS LOCK. WHILE MANY WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS "CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL" OR "FOR THE COOL KIDS, BRO", THEY'RE BEING SARCASTIC. IT'S REALLY ANNOYING. PLEASE USE IT SPARINGLY.      -  Excessive foul language. There is a fine line between swearing fitting into regular speech, and it becoming obnoxious. Simple rule. If 3 of your messages in a row have an F-bomb in them, you're probably swearing too much.      -  Being quiet. Please talk. We're all lonely. That's why we're playing halo all day. We need human interaction.

Q: How can you guys afford to do this?

A: Because we really wanted to help a good cause. Split between the four of us, the costs of the prizes aren't that high. Besides, we'd GLADLY spend 50 dollars or so in order to get hundreds or hopefully thousands of dollars to Child's Play, which is really a great cause. Not to mention the fact that I'm already an electronics nerd, so I already had almost all of the materials needed to make this happen.

Q: What are you using to make this?

A: We're using a combination of a cheap and incredibly bad webcam from ancient times, an "Easycap" from an awesome website called Dealextreme, and some microphones that we scavenged and bought. We added in some duct taped and very cobbled together audio and video splitters and adaptors. Then I made this website in KompoZer (great program). The Picture in Picture effect is made by a program called "superwebcam" and we're streaming through ustream. We're collecting donations through ChipIn. I think that's about it. Oh, also there's our air we're breathing, which is supplied by Nature.

Q: I don't trust you

A: Well, I'm awesome. So you should. Look, I didn't even put a referral link for the easycap. Why am I not good enough for you??!?!!

Q: Something on this website isn't working for me. It is obviously your fault, and that makes you a bad person. You should crawl in a hole and die, because you are evil, and I don't like you. Blarg.

A: Well, sorry if something on here doesn't work. If it's a BIG issue that is happening for a lot of users, email it to "haloendurance@gmail.com". Make sure your browser is up to date, and your computer isn't ancient or filled with spiders/rodents/pixies.

Q: I have a question that isn't on this FAQ that is either about this event or a question about how I can do a charity gaming marathon similar to this. I promise I won't just email you 100 messages saying "LOL BUTTS", because I am a good person, and not a drooling idiot.

A: Feel free to email me at "haloendurance@gmail.com" and I'll try to get back to you with an answer.
