Annual Child's Play Charity Drive Begins

Many, many thanks to the gentlemen at Penny Arcade for the kickoff of their now annual Child's Play Charity Drive. The drive is intended to hook up willing people in our community with children's hospitals across the country, to spread some geeky christmas love to young folks that need it. This year the drive extends across the country, and you can donate toys to hospitals in Seattle, Oakland, San Diego, Houston, and D.C.. Tycho has a little startup post on Penny Arcade, as well.

And watch them grows, right from the material they post about, and the skill to their drawing, all the way to their artical and follower. They truely did came a long way, but at no time have I been able to predict a community can grows into such respectable manner. A Video game community! And to top it off, this is only the second time they try this. Maybe it will turn into someone big.. Hell, it already is something big, in just two years. Considering how much Penny Arcade have grow in the past.. I can not imagine what Child's play can turn into. It could become something huge, something national.. We shall see.

"Michael Thomas, the PA reader who helped us add up all the toys purchased as of late last night also had this very nice quote at the end of his message to us:

'Now I understand what all of the anti-videogame people ment when they said children raised on games would grow up abnormal. They were right, we'd all grow up with really big hearts.'"
