Charity Gaming Marathon Live On Ustream Today
UPDATE: The marathon is live now, and they're giving out plenty of prizes as they hit specific donation levels. If you're looking for something to watch on a lazy Saturday, you can check out the streams here. Right now they're working on Mortal Kombat's challenge tower, but they've been taking requests for games throughout the marathon. It should be running until 6pm PST/9pm EST if you're interested in checking it out.
We're always fans of gamers pitching in for a good cause, and the guys from the Underdeveloped Characters podcast are doing just that. Starting next Friday at 9pm EST, they'll be playing a variety of games to benefit the Children's Miracle Network and the Red Cross relief effort for Japan.
Currently on deck for the marathon is Portal 2 (co-op), Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (multiplayer), Mortal Kombat, Gears of War, and Rock Band. They're encouraging viewers to join in on the fun, and you can find Gamertag information (as well as other info regarding the marathon) here. They have plenty of sponsors, and they'll be giving away a ton of games. Be sure to check out their stream if you get a chance next weekend.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
