Today is the day for the now annual charity drive known as Extra-Life. It is a 24 hour gaming marathon designed to raise money and awareness for children’s cancer research. The gaming community has come out in full force to support the marathon with big sponsors including G4tv, Sony, Reddit, several game developers, and many gaming sites. All of the money earned goes to a Children’s Miracle Network hospital of your choosing. You can go local or choose any of the 170 hospitals in the network. Many sites and individuals live-stream the event all day and there are several gaming events scheduled throughout. Unfortunately I didn’t get signed up this year but there are many players and teams to donate to. Anyone can check it out at extra-life.org

So you bought  that hot, new RPG that everyone has been talking about; you get it home and put it in your console of choice, and boot it up. The first thing you do is talk to the person in front of you, or are forced to talk to them; then you have to follow them or go talk to someone else. When you finally find your way to the next person, they don’t know you so they don’t trust you, or they have some crisis that only you can take care of. It is a long line of doing one thing in order to do this other thing.
