Well, I was a bit bored today, so I do what I usually do when I am and I began clicking links to new webcomics advertising on other webcomics and such. Well, I stumbled on to one earlier today, and I found this.



Well, it got my attention so I went and checked out the site to see what it was all about. And apparently its a fund raiser for the Texas Children's Hospital using a donation per hour fundraiser with video gamers. To be short, I was surprised and impressed with the idea. Everyone wants to be able to help, and this is truly a unique way to do it. So I signed up and participate, even though I'm not the asking for money type of guy for donations. But none the less, I could at least spread the news and give it a try.

If you're interested, here is my donation page: My Fundraising Page.

Or if you just want to know more about the event: Extra Life


So on October 18th I'll be donating my entire day to playing video games. I'm planning on spending a good deal of time to City of Heroes/Villains, though I'm contemplating on also doing some work on Halflife2 and getting further along since I've been at stalemate on it for a few weeks and haven't done much to get past the spot. Either way, I'm going to have fun, and hopefully raise a little cash to donate to charity.

It's a huge complex here in the Houston Medical Center. They are part of the Baylor Medical Programs.
