For the Kids [charity and awesomeness]


Brian Brinegar, Dan May, and John Groth are people you probably don't know. If you do know them, awesome, but for the 99.9999% of the readers who don't (mathematical estimates off of pure guessing), they are three former college roommates who are raising money for Child's Play, a children's charity. They will be playing through Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy for 55 hours all in the name of charity.

And people say video games aren't beneficial. At the time I am writing this they have almost broken the $1,000 mark and they've only been playing for about two hours. If you love video games and you love kids, give a buck or two; it's for the kids. And furthermore, you can watch the live steam right here on Gamer-Aid!! I might consider doing this one day. I'm not sure how many people would actually watch, but I would love to just sit inside for about a month or so and play Final Fantasy games or play through so many seasons of Madden or something. It's all in fun and it's all for the kids. Enjoy.
