[I just wrote this up for NG, but thought it would go well here too. If you have a problem with that... well, not much I can do. Suck it up, it's better than most the crap posted these days :P The Destructoid community is so fucking awesome. Let's blow this thing! - Wardrox]
As we speak, Destructoid's review editor and all round awesome guy Jim Sterling is on a train heading North to my house for SingSterling.
24 hours of SingStar, all under the pretence of charity! Chances are you already know about it, and have donated. But for those people who haven't; wtf dude? Come on! It's like twenty bucks to watch a fat guy you probably disagreed with at some point sing until he causes himself permanent damage!
All money raised goes towards Extra Life, an awesome by-gamers charity drive to help kids with cancer.
Still no? You cunt Well, what if I linked you to the FULL TRACK LIST? See, warming to the idea now aren't you? Now, GO DONATE $20 and make sure to check back here, my twitter, or Destructoid to grab the live feed of the whole thing!
I speak for myself, NegativeGamer, Jim Sterling and Extra Life when I say a truly sincere thank you. Gamers get a bad rep most of the time, and events like this show just how the communities formed by people who never quite fitted in, really can change peoples lives.
You, just sitting there, have improved the life of another, real person somewhere in the world. And that's something to be immensely proud of.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
about me
OMG GAMES.
I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.
Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07
Destructoid is an independently-run publication forged by our love of video games and the gaming community's need of accountable enthusiast press living the dream since March 16, 2006
20 cents per user is no great fee.
Can't wait!

I donated plenty, I'm sad we didn't get to $5000.
