Evidently there are a lot of people out there who are better people than I am. Though I try to volunteer as often as I can, I have still not donated to Child's Play this year. However, a lot of people have and that makes them better people than me. So many people have donated that the Penny Arcade charity has raised $1,010,680.28 (this was as of Friday afternoon, so it's probably even higher now) and the main drive hasn't even ended yet.
The charity is hoping to beat its $1.4 million raised last year, and seems to be on schedule to do that. It probably helps that fundraisers such as the Desert Bus Marathon are bringing in record amounts this year as well. Everyone who has donated please pat yourself on the back for helping the world be a better place for sick children. Those who haven't donated yet, consider this a guilt trip: I'm donating a dollar right now. You should too.

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!

Oh well. Maybe a few years down the road things'll be different.
That's how karma works, right?
Exactly. Just like Chuck E. Cheese.
But people like kotick should definitely be getting their wallets out!
