Only a few hours left for you to make the difference between 24-hours and Rick Astley and me getting away with 12-hours and Metal Gear Solid 4. If you have not donated yet, DO IT. If you consider yourself a member of the Destructoid community, prove it. Donate. Help children with cancer, and do your bit with the rest of the Dtoid Army.
I'm serious here. I'm not doing twenty-four hours for the fun of it, and it won't happen unless I get what I ask for. Twelve hours is still a lot, but it's a pisswalk compared to what I could be doing. I got from Tokyo to Amsterdam to Heathrow to London to Kent on a badly blistered foot (which is still injured) with heavy bags and no sleep. I can handle twelve hours of SingStar. It will still be a laugh, but if people don't help out, half of our live feed is going to be me sitting down and playing other PS3 games and having a great time.
I'll be heading to Manchester soon where I will be meeting Wardrox of Negative Gamer. After we get things set up, we should be able to start the live feed at about 4pm British Time. Keep an eye on Destructoid at around that time. It'll be set up the same way we did Podcastle Live II.
If everyone reading this had donated, we would have doubled the amount asked for by now. And nobody would have had to pay even half as much as they'd pay for a brand new videogame.
Right, back later.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Comments policy
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!

I'd love to donate some cash monies for the chilluns.
But, I have no job.
Please fucking die
Please!?!
No seriously, I fucking hope you both die.... from cancer.
Which ironically, is what this charity benefits.

24 hours of SingSterling, let's make it happen :D
OH SHI-
Also, You need to factor in Codmasters' extra $1000 into the mix and any donations which haven't registered yet. (I know my PayPal took a while) .
Even if it's $2000, Dtoid has a community of well over 10,000!
If you can't donate, then hassle others to donate instead :D
That's only 20 cents each!
Anyway. Cant wait!
I'm link spamming on all the forums I'm connected to. The suspensions will be worth it I'm sure.
To make up for my sins I've posted a link on the EU WoW off-topic forums (my account has a few more days before it expires, yay) to try get some more publicity. Not sure how much effect it'll have but it's worth a shot!
I'll be watching Sterling. Good luck, you're going to need it. (Also, in twelve hours I could easily get to Wardrox's house...tempted to come down and (shout obscenities)* cheer you on!)
*how the piss do you get strikethrough in blogs/comments?!
Come one people, its only a few dollars!
Someone should throw a charity to suck the fat out of countingconflict's head.
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go comment in every thread I can find about games that I'm not interested in, to inform people who don't give a rat's ass that I'm not going to play that particular game. I feel that it's important to contribute information about my purchasing and donating decisions to strangers who do not give a shit.
