Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play video games while giving back to the community? Sounds farfetched doesn't it? Well at least to some anyway.
Some might ask themselves, "How does playing video games give back to the community? You're sitting on your butt playing games and that's all there is to it".
Well according to
Kotaku.com, some people at
cameronbanga.com had in the past tried to complete a 48 hour Zelda marathon for charity. They attempted to play at least four games in that span of time, but because of glitches they were not able to and only raised over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity.
If you don't know what Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity is, it is defined as this:
"Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over two million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception." -Child's Play Charity
Well since that day the people at
cameronbanga.com wanted another go without fail. This time instead of a 48 hour Zelda marathon, they decided to do an 11 hour Twilight Princess marathon to see how much money they could raise for the charity.
I for one say good luck, why? Because it does benefit a child's happiness.
