Kicking off a 24-hour marathon for Toys For Tots
We’re about to kick off a huge weekend at Dtoid.TV this evening. First off, get in on the action, and help us defend our honor as we battle SOE in a few rounds of PlanetSide 2. If you want to join the Destructoid team, simply fire up your PlanetSide 2 beta, join the Vanu faction, and log into the US West – Thebe Server. Then hop over to our live channel and wait for the battle to pop off!
After that, stick around as I pull a 24+ hour shift, as we once again join forces with the awesome GameOn community for our sixth yearly multiplayer marathon. In the past we’ve managed to raise approximately $30,000 for Child’s Play charity. This year, we’re switching up just a bit, and supporting Toys For Tots. Come by, check out all of the broadcasters involved, and help us raise money and awareness for this awesome cause before the holidays.
