Child's Play

Ok, so there's a new link on the sidebar and it asks you to donate. If you don't know about Child's Play charity, click on the logo and read what these people do. Powered by the gamer community, the proceeds and items go help sick kids. I donate every year, to the Children's Hospital in Boston, through their Amazon.com Wish List and also choose another hospital, from my home state of Louisiana or out of the country to contribute. Last year, I sent a sweet Xbox 360 pack to two hospitals to let kids stuck in hospital beds forget about their troubles for a little bit while playing whatever little kids play - Viva Pinata or Barbie's Horse Adventures or something. Regardless, its a good deed and something that shows that gamers aren't the crazed maniacs that the press sometimes likes to portray. Last year, they took in over 1.5 million in cash and toys...if you have a few extra bucks and you consider yourself part of the gaming community, consider donating to help some kid who might be spending the holidays in a hospital rather that at home with their folks. Gamers rock the house and its time the world caught on to that fact. Ok, rant and propaganda time over with. See everyone tomorrow...
