Penny Arcade's Child's Play Christmas

 

Here's the deal.

 

If you are like me, every time you see an article like this one - where the author claims that video games are training our nations youth to kill - you get angry. The media seems intent on perpetuating the myth that gamers are ticking time bombs just waiting to go off. I know for a fact that gamers are good people. I have had the opportunity on multiple occasions to meet hundreds of you at conventions all over the country. We are just regular people who happen to love video games.

 

With that in mind we have put together a little something we like to call “Child’s Play.” Penny Arcade is working with the Seattle Children’s Hospital and Amazon.com to make this Christmas really special for a lot of very sick kids. With the help of the Children’s Hospital we have created an Amazon Wish List for the kids. It’s full of video games, movies and toys. Some of these kids are in pretty bad shape and just having a Game Boy would really raise their spirits.

 

Please take some time to browse the Wish List. Maybe all you can afford is a package of batteries or maybe you want to go in with your entire office and get the kids a GameCube. Every single contribution will help out the Children’s Hospital and the 190,000 kids they treat each year.

 

All the toys and games will be delivered to us and we will in turn deliver them to the Children’s Hospital. As soon as the toys start arriving I’ll set up a web site and post as many pictures as I can. We will be making a trip over to one of the hospitals next week and we’ll bring you back stories from some of the kids along with more pictures.

 

Penny Arcade has a readership of something like 150,000 gamers across the world. We are arguably the largest community of gamers on the internet. The important word there being community. This isn’t IGN, this isn’t Gamespy, we are not a faceless corporation, you are not just a number tracked by a database and then relayed to hungry advertisers. You guys have proven yourselves to be a powerful force when stirred into action. Here is your opportunity to use that power to do some real good.

 

Let’s give these kids the Christmas that they deserve and let’s give the news papers a different kind of story to write about gamers.

I think most of us can spare at least a few bucks this Christmas. Let's help them out. I think it would be great if everyone here at TSM were able to go onto the Wish List and buy at least one toy for the cause. These kids deserve some Christmas cheer.

Oh, it's a great cause, I'll probably wind up buying something for these kids.

 

But putting this in NHB is just ASKING for trouble, man.

I go to penny arcade all the time, so sure I'll try and buy something.

I'd expect nothing less. I just happen to think most of the people that post in Hardcore Discussion are good folks and it's probably one of the more frequented forums on the board. Best place to put it.

I got much love for the Van Dutch, but I wouldn't let him near my kids, if I had any.

Dear Mr. T. Flying Dutchman,

 

You are found guilty in the crime of infringing on the gimmick of another poster, one Mr. Hoff Isa Badass, also known under the aliases "The Chancellor of Awesome," "Fuck, the Almighty," and "Hollywood Hulk Hoffman." You knowingly claimed that you enjoyed the oral consumption of minors, something that you know the plantiff has done for a number of years, and which has become a trademark of his enterprises. It is the verdict of this one-man court that you serve a sentence of five spinebusters. Also, any further attempts of the consumption of children by you will be swiftly met and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the spinebuster.

Thank you for your unwilling compliance with the law.
