I'm not going to lie here; I have not idea who MC Chris is or what his music sounds like, nor do I really care. What I do care about is that he's selling off a boat load of relatively recent Xbox 360 and PS3 games with all the proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If you've been looking for any of the games found on his eBay page (Splinter Cell: Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty) this would definitely be a great place to get them.
Since MC Chris's nephew was diagnosed with the disease he and his fans have raised over $80,000 for the Foundation, which is quite a feat. Even if you aren't down with any of the games on his list you can always head over to his site and make a donation to a very worthy cause.
On a more personal level, I have a cousin with cystic fibrosis and it is not an easy disease to live with, yet she is always happy and wanting to play around. It's really amazing how resilient and strong she is. Even if you don't win, a bid on one of his games or a donation would really mean a lot.
[Thanks, Tony. M]

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!
Come on. You've really never seen an episode of ATHF with MC [name]?
We should get some of the anti-used games people on Destructoid to tell him how he's a bad person who's hurting the industry.
mc chris is really good. If you don't know his music you might know him from his work on Aquateen Hunger Force, he did the voice of Mc Peepants or as the voice of Hesh on Sealab 2020. He also wrote for a lot of the Adult Swim shows including the rap off episode of The Brakk Show. His song, Fett's Vette was featured in Zack and Miri makes a porno during the Star Whores scene. mc chris is also considered one of the originators of nerdcore hip hop.
Yes now you know and knowing is half the hassle.
