More Charidee
As I have often said, I don’t like to talk about my various charitable works. As I have also often said, this is because I don’t generally actually do all that much. However, I do have one of those occasional events coming up soon, so I thought I’d let you know.
So, and please don’t laugh, I will be doing a 24 hour computer gaming marathon. This is actually the very opposite of a running marathon, as the only actual horizontal movement I’ll be doing will be from my sofa to the fridge, bathroom or computer gaming device. However, I will be staying awake for 24 hours playing computer games for Extra Life, supporting the Texas Children’s Cancer centre.
My involvement is partly due to Matt, my One More Go co-host, accidentally pinching the name of the charity for the old GeekPlanet gaming podcast (the one that my awesome appearance on destroyed, only for it to be reborn as One More Go) and mainly because he’s doing it as well.
It’s over the weekend of the 17th and 18th of October (3 weeks away) and there will be a webcam and other ways for people to remotely laugh at me and my ’selflessness’ as I sit on a chair and play computer games. If you do want to sponsor me then you can do so over on the charidee website. Think of it less as sponsoring me and more as giving money to charity.
