You know what's better than accusing Haitian earthquake victims of signing a secret pact with the devil? Buying DLC for Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid HD. Not only are Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid remarkable games, but, between now and Sunday, developer Behemoth is donating 100% of proceeds generated by DLC sales to the Haitian relief effort.
Even better: The Behemoth will match the donation out of their own (probably limited) coffers, effectively doubling your purchasing power.
For the record, there are two DLC packs available for Castle Crashers: The King Pack offers two new characters (the King and an open-visor Gray Knight), some new weapons, and a seal animal orb; The Necromantic Pack also offers two new characters (the Necromancer and the Cult Minion), new weapons, and a dragon (!) animal orb. Each of these will set you back 160 moonpoints, but will result in $4 of aid.
If the words "animal orb" don't mean anything to you, you can pick up Castle Crashers for a cool 1200 points. It's worth it.
On the other hand, Alien Hominid HD is relatively cheaper (at only 800 points) and much more difficult. You might recall that you could play games on Alien's PDA; Alien Hominid's DLC consists of packs of 100 extra games, priced at 150 bananadollars a pop. Once The Behemoth matches your contribution, you're looking at close to $3.75 in aid.
If you're looking for an excuse to add some zest to your Behemoth games, the time is now.

I've donated twice but fuck donating I wish I could volunteer.
If I hadn't purchased both by now, I would definitely throw my moon-bucks their way.
Whatchu talkin' 'bout? This the way it's been for all of humanity in all the history of anything ever.
That's not American politics. That's humanity. Just laugh and move on.
Wasn't Castle Crashers supposed to make it over there eventually? I can't believe it hasn't yet.
Yeah, because China LOVES foreigners coming into their country and offering aid... especially from the West. Haiti asked for it (aid, not the earthquake) and kind-hearted people are offering it. Same with the tsunami in Indonesia a few years back.
Like Midgetsnowman said, eat a dick. Your cynicism would be put to better use elsewhere, like as a writer for Rush Limbaugh.
That company sure likes to take their sweet time with things...
Sorry, buddy, but if you can apparently afford a PS3, games, and internet service, and have time to use all of those things, you could throw a few dollars or hours to charity every now and then. It's your prerogative if you choose not to, but recognize it for what it is: a choice.
