Good morning, and welcome back to the biggest, baddest WASD we've had to date! Our runner for Donkey Kong Country Returns has not shown up, so we're skipping directly to Deano95HD's run of Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare! Let's keep the hype going!! twitch.tv/warwickspeed...

Day 1 is a wrap! What a crazy crazy day it was. Not only did you guys utterly destroy every donation goal we threw at you, but you also smashed our record for the most money we've raised in any WASD, in just one day. I still can't believe we're not done. Come back at 10am as the chaos develops!

021

Oh god, it's the last run of the night, isn't it? Shoot. That means it's time for the Mario Kart Wii race. Join me (Flynt) on Wiimote and nunchuck, fowlcomplex on Wii Wheel, and Raven on... a racing sim?? Oh well, at least I'm not being forced to wear a maid outfit this time. YET...

also this is the most money we've ever raised in a single WASD. what the heck guys

Now for matt's run of Mirror's Edge! I hope you don't have vertigo...

Kesjykara is up now with a demo of osu!mania! That game gives me RSI every time I play it so the best I can do is 3 star... I can't even comprend what's going on here ;-; Donate now to add more mods to make things way harder! Say what about WhatsApp??

WE ALREADY REACHED OVER £2000!?!?!?!? We've already hit all of our donation goals and day one hasn't even finished, we're gonna need to see what else we can come up with! A huge, huge, HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated to this point, you're all fantastic people and make us so proud 👏

062

Now for Raven's run of Zombie Endless on CoD mobile! I still don't know how we're going to record this one... supposedly they've got it under wraps.

000

R0bit is up now with... ugh, ANOTHER Celeste run? Haven't we done this every year at this poi- wait, what? What does "Bongos Edition" mean? And what's with all that banging? WHAT'S GOING ON??

000

Cuphead Any% by Lewzr is happening now! Who's that guy with the blocky head, that's Steve right? Wait no, that's Minecraft.

We've got Wollom up with a 100% No OoB run of Pseudoregalia! Don't underestimate this game's graphics - its ultra-satisfying movement is a gamer's dream - much unlike another low poly game yet to come.

Now Gabrio is up with his run of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, commentated by morraconda! Let the panic ensue.

011

We're now Live! Sorry for the delay, Twitch and tech were being annoying. Plus I may have spilled Monster on my laptop... (Don't worry, it was white monster) Our first run of the day is of Crypt of the Necrodancer by morraconda, and commentated by Gabrio! www.twitch.tv/warwickspeed...
