So I found out about this fundraiser where you sit around and play video games for 24 hours and raise money for children. I decided to create a team: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=148353 Feel free to join or sponsor if you would like. I am fundraising for the Children's Hospital of San Antonio. I thought I would share it with this community in case you wanted to start your own team or participate individually. The main website is http://www.extra-life.org and you can choose the Children's Miracle Network Hospital you want the money to go to. |

But how does it work? Is it like a walkathon for hours logged on a video game? Because that would be kinda awesome. |

Kind of. I am pretty sure it is based on the honor system but I can find out more. You basically just pledge to play games for 24 hours. And it doesn't matter what game. So for instance you could play 10 hours of sk, 5 hours of Assassin's Creed, 5 hours of Age of Empires and then 4 hours of Candy Crush. It would be pretty cool if we could have a bonanza around that time too. |

Friend of mine does a lot of fundraising/recruiting for Extra Life. It is pretty damned awesome. |

It is on the honor system and it can be broken out into different days as long as you complete the 24 hours. I personally think I will just do the 24 hours straight! |

Any local gaming/comic convention around me usually has a table set up for this organization. They are highly approachable. With summer coming up, maybe you can catch' em to speak to them live, as well. |

I will likely just stay in pajama's all day, bake cookies and play SK and maybe some Age of Empires. And drink wine. Lots of wine... |

I could play GTA V Online 24 hours straight without a problem. But I fear I'd anger a lot of 9 year old self proclaimed "Gangsters" who are in dire need of actual parenting...... The youth of today has me worried about humanities future...... |
