The White House, Shaq To Host Gaming Marathon Next Monday
In order to raise awareness about getting healthcare before next week's December 15 deadline, the White House (yes, that White House) will hosting a gaming marathon this coming Monday.
The marathon will feature a number of prominent streamers taking part in the event, a Pro-Am match of Rocket League, and a show match featuring fighting game legends Justin Wong and Mike Ross facing off in Street Fighter V.
You can watch a trailer for the event here. You'll be able to watch the stream here.

Our Take
This is a pretty cool, if strange, collaboration. As someone who's followed both Wong and Ross for a while, it's going to be pretty cool to watch them play at the White House.
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.
