We're participarting in Extra Life 2025!

For 24 hours, beginning on November 8 at 9AM EDT, we'll be streaming some of our favorite (and farfetched) games to support the kids of Boston's Children's Hospital. Come hang out at https://www.twitch.tv/70percentcomplete and help us raise some money for the kids.

There'll be speedrunning Goldeneye, OSRS aplenty, rock and stone (probably not that kind), and space ships. You don't want to miss it!
