TheSpeedGamers

TheSpeedGamers (also abbreviated as TSG or TSG.TV) is a group of video gamers based out of Arlington, Texas, who raise money for various charities.

LaRiviere originally imagined the site as a source for gaming reviews, but over time, the idea evolved into forming a marathon group.

To mark the re-branding, the group did an unannounced 24-hour marathon of Sonic and Mario games, raising money for Mercy Corps.

At the end of the 24 hours, the respective totals were applied as a handicap system for a 40-minute computer-controlled Super Smash Brothers match between Mario and Sonic.

The winner of that match would be the franchise for the December 2014 72-hour marathon, raising money for the Rocking H Ranch.

*: The Summer of Zelda, a month-long effort of nightly streams,[19] was originally designed to raise money for ACT Today!
