Extra Life charity lets gamers battle cancer

I'll be playing my part. Haha....get it? Nevermind....

Good for them, this and Penny Arcade's "Childs Play" make me feel good about being a gamer.

Cool :).

I'd like to throw out a friendly challenge to the Joystiq crew from the guys over at Sarcasticgamer.com. I challenge Justin and the crew to see if they can form a team that can raise more money than the Sarcastic Gamer Team on the Texas Children Cancer Center's website.

Here's the sign up page:

Form a team, set your goal, make your page, it's that easy. With over 300 participants signed up and over 15 websites participating

I love it when a charity event comes along that somehow turns my obsession into a "humanitarian effort". For once, my therapist can't yell at me to "grow up and act like an adult!"

Okay, I don't have a therapist and if I did, they wouldn't STAY my therapist if they talked to me like that... but what a great reason to stand proud and make an event out of this 24-hour gaming binge. I'm already planning my food deliveries and working on a rough draft of my gaming schedule. All in the name of helping the kids... nevermind that I might have been gaming for 24-hours straight October 18th anyway, now I'm helping to cure cancer. If only Folding@home were a game, I could help cure cancer WHILE helping to cure cancer! I encourage any PS3&360 owners to let their PS3s Fold that day for every minute they're not in use!

I signed up a few days ago. An awesome idea for gamers to shed the sometimes negative connection society seems to intepret with video games. We all pretty game non-stop anyways right? why not raise money while at it!

i'm participating on behalf of 4colorrebellion.com

They could sponsor a guild to beat Pandemonium Warden in FFXI

this is cool though, kind of like the desert bus team or the mario marathon team; I wonder how much support they'll get

Good idea, I am game, Just hope Lionhead doesn't patch the Fable 2 pub games on that day. lol

Wow guys, thanks for using our powerful fist of might to help Doc, Lono, Dave, the rest of the staff, and the site mobilize the whole group of gamers who really care.
