What's Child's Play you say? For the ignorant, yes I'm looking at you, Child's Play is a charity run by those two crazy guys over at the webcomic Penny Arcade. Child's Play is dedicated to improving the lives of children in hospitals around the world through the use of video game and toys. Get in the holiday spirit people, it's not over yet.
Last year, the charity raised over $600,000 in cash and games from the Amazon wishlist they've set up. How much have they raised so far this year? $963,000. You people still have some love left in your cold, dark robot hearts, don't you? This is the final push people, it's just a bit away from $1 million. Open up your PayPal accounts and donate to the cause at childsplaycharity@penny-arcade.com. Gamers unite! Help sick kids.

"...the charity raised over six thousand dollars in cash and games from the Amazon wishlist they've set up."
And you might be thinking of the combined total of the last 3 years was over 1 mil., which is true. They want to be able to get 1 million in one year.
I guess he is technically correct, it was over $6,000 after all, just that it's well well over $6,000. Like really way over 6 grand. Like 6K times 10 and shit. Totally.
Asking a gamer to donate money to sick kids is like asking Bush to stop the war in Iraq, it's not gonna happen.[/i]
Where do you think that $963,000 came from?
hm?
