This Saturday, October 1, the Gaming and Giving for Good (G3) Charity Event to benefit Extra Life will be taking place on Xbox LIVE. For those of you unfamiliar with Extra Life (or the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals), they’re a charity whose sole goal is to raise money for sick children across the globe. If there’s a better cause out there, I can’t think of it!
So how can you help? I’m glad you asked! Dtoider manasteel88 has volunteered to host a team, and he needs your help to meet his goal! Whether you choose to simply donate or go so far as to volunteer your own time, sick kids all over the world will be eternally thankful. Click here to find out more!
To go along with this, Microsoft is offering a free weekend of Xbox LIVE starting tonight, meaning anyone and everyone can play along! So what are you waiting for? Go get your game on (and do some good while you’re at it)!
New to FNF? Read this! Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It’s a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!
The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members volunteer to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up in the community blogs followed by a recap post here on the front page for last-minute planning.
To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! (Don’t forget to say you’re from Dtoid!) If you’d rather host something yourself, sound off in the comments section below!
We hope to see you online!
