Those of you who have been following the site for a while may remember that I did something last year that few gamers attempt: 25 hours of playing video games straight (for charity!). Well, as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so I’m going to give it a shot again this year!
Not only was I able to knock off a game from my backlog last year, but with the help of readers like you, I was able to raise above and beyond my original fundraising goal of $200 for the Vermont Children’s Hospital! This year I’m leading the team at VideoGameWriters.com, and we’re going to need a big push to reach our goal of $2,000. Please consider chipping in, as every donation, no matter how small, counts!

Now, I’m very excited to test out a new feature this year – an embedded stream! If all goes well, you should be able to watch me play right here:
