Target achieved: Child's Play tops US$ 1M mark!

Don't this make you feel good inside?


Let the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holidays just gone by continue! Gabe and Tycho are glad to report that their cup runneth over! (*Sniffle*) Anyway, what we wanted to say was that the total contributions to Child's Play from generous and golden-hearted gamers everywhere have topped the US$ 1,000,000.00 mark, for a grand and tidy sum of US$ 1,024,000 in donations. Now let's see how many PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii bundles that would buy for every participating hospital, or perhaps it's going to be a PSP or DS in every kiddie hospital room.

Quite a limit breaker, and one should consider that the bar was at around half a million greenbacks at the beginning of December. That's double the money in just one month! And as the bar is filled out, chime in the Final Fantasy victory and level-up themes, as there will be a next year, and perhaps the next challenge would be to raise two million dollars this time?

 » Wow.
Man this is really good thing going on. My sister was in a childs hospital a few years ago and getting some new game consoles in there will help keep the kids minds off of what they're going through.

I'm surprised to see Child's Play as far away as Egypt and Australia, but ya can't knock a good cause. If I remember right, the charities they contribute to (St. Jude's?) offer some of the best children's care and research on the planet, so hat's off to them.

And the Final Fantasy 'victory theme' mention was pretty funny, IMO.
