We debuted the SingSterling Challenge two days ago and thus far things are going pretty decently! So far we have $632.00 in the bank -- not bad, but not AMAZING either. I know these things usually ramp up the closer we get to deadline but we can do better than that!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far, including those outside the Destructoid community. Also, a massive thank you to fellow writers around the Web who have been promoting this. I asked a lot of people to spread the word for me, and while some have not, others have been more than helpful in drumming up support. Big thanks go to:
GamePolitics
VG247
ARS Technica
Sony's Official PlayStation Blog
If you're another blog and have also helped spread the word about Extra Life and the SingSterling Challenge, then please drop me a line at jim @ destructoid.com and I will make sure to throw up a thanks for you in future updates. Also, if you're reading this right now, tell your friends, your family, everybody! If you're a game dev, try and have a whip round. If you raise sheep in a field -- TELL THOSE WOOLY MOTHERF*CKERS! Both myself and Doc at Sarcastic Gamer really do appreciate it.
Remember, every sponsorship you make goes toward helping children with cancer. Give what you can and help to make Extra Life something even more amazing than it is already. We're counting on you. <3

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?

Maybe we will see a surge when all the paypal donations come in!
PayPal donations are added by hand, I believe, so my hope is that many donations are backlogged via that method.
Come on people! As I said before, $20 won't kill you, but it might kill Jim!
I used my debit as a credit ant it took it. Just use whatever company is on the bottom-right of the card.
I doubt it matters on their end. The only difference with credit and debit is usually on the payer's end, since credit is drawn from a credit line and debit from a checking account.
Found it in the comments on the texas children's hospital page.
cause if you stay with us youre gonna be pretty kookie too
