Child's Play Charity Dinner and Auction

Posted by Zonk on from the nerds-in-suits-for-a-good-cause dept.

Thanks to Penny Arcade for the heads up about the Child's Play Charity Dinner and Auction, which is going to take place Thursday December 9th in Bellvue, WA to benefit the ongoing Child's Play Children's Charity Drive. Gabe has a rundown on the event up, and a list of some of the auction prizes, including "a Tour of Wizards of the Coast, a Tour of Bungie's studio, Half-Life 2 and a lifetime subscription Steam, a Tour and gaming with Penny Arcade, a week-long Workshop at Digipen, a Lifetime subscription to Dark Age of Camelot, and a 1 year subscription to Gamefly."

  1. But Joe Lieberman by Mr.Dippy · · Score: -1

    Told me that games have no benefit and would most likely turn me into a murderous Columbine clone with no remorse and a pension for blood and evil. How can all these "gamers" give out of the goodness of their hearts?

      I'm thinking you probably mean a "penchant" for blood and evil.

    ...that this dinner was in honor of the demonic doll that valiantly attempted to kill the lady from Star Trek 4. Too bad she didn't die and we now have to endure 7th Heaven.

  4. Again, the east coast gets snubbed by slungsolow · · Score: -1, Troll

    Penny-Arcade refuses to recognize their east coast fans for the umpteenth time. It would be great to go to an event like this, but airfare and hotels make it a no go.

    It would be great if the folks at PA actually showed they cared about us folks on the right coast.

    I would like to go to this, but I'm afraid the gamers would shoot me.
