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...      -  Tell us what on earth is going on. Some of these old games are incredibly abstract, and most of them we have never played before. If you know what's going on, please pipe in.      -  Talking to us and just hanging out. We love interacting with you, and we hope you have fun interacting with us. Whether you're giving us trivia, sharing your knowledge, or just chatting with us about random things. We love talking to you.      -  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. We're not swearing much. I hope you don't either.      -  Being quiet. Please talk. We're all lonely. That's why we're playing video games for two days straight. 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. Also, we recently did a Halo Marathon, so we have a lot of the equipment for this already.

Q: What are you using to make this?

A: We're using a terrible old webcam, an awful little capture card, and two microphones made out of old telephones. Aren't you glad you asked?

Q: I don't trust you

A: Well, I'm awesome. So you should. Look, I didn't even put ads up on here. 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 "kyle@retrothon.com". Make sure your browser is up to date, and your computer isn't broken or on fire or something.

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 "kyle@retrothon.com" and I'll try to get back to you with an answer.
