Being Charitable +1: Helping a Gamer Girl
I understand that this post is only partially related to video games, but if I've noticed anything about gamers over the years, it's that they are often some of the most generous people out there. I've heard of more than a few stories of guild-mates in World of Warcraft paying out of pocket to help a fellow player through hard times IRL. Rent, court costs, medical payments. This goes beyond tossing your n00b friend a handful of gold to buy a mount. Real help. Factor in those fine gentlemen at Penny Arcade into the mix, with incidents of spontaneous altruism as well as their own charity organization, Child's Play, and you've got yourself a pretty benevolent circle of pixel enthusiasts.
Here's a tour of the sweet 2,000 some arcade titles AND seven emulators.

About AwesomeExMachinaone of us since 6:13 PM on 07.28.2009
Twenty four years ago I was adorable. Now I'm inquisitive and hilarious.
I have a plastic tooth to replace one lost in a mosh pit during my more ridiculous high school years. I speak shitty German and I ride a bike. My Xbox gets so much use, I'm sometimes embarassed. But I'm unemployed, so my time is spent writing blogs on the internet, reading good literary fiction, and playing video games.
In the grand scale of things, I'm a late-bloomer. My parents banned all consoles from my house as a kid. See what you've done? Now I game constantly to make up for years of lost time.
I won't list my favorites, because you've probably seen ten lists like it before me.
There's a life-sized Boba Fett standee in my living room.
