Jerks With a Heart: Child's Play 2008 (Updated)

UPDATE





The generous folks over at IOGEAR have decided to up the ante for all of you and throw in an IOGEAR - GCS1782 - 2-Port Dual Link DVI KVMP Switch with 7.1 Audio and Cables with a street price of $299.95 into the winner's loot. This means the largest donor of the 3 randomly-selected respondents to this thread with their gamerDNA Child's Play signature attached will receive:If you haven't yet donated to this great cause, I highly encourage you to do so and at least hedge your bets against the rest of the cheapskates on these forums. Once again, let's really pour it on over the last couple weeks of this year and try and spread the holiday cheer beyond our own community. Also, big ups to IOGEAR for supporting our effort!

Thanks everyone!



ORIGINAL





I am very excited to announce that Elitist Jerks has teamed up with the fantastic people over at gamerDNA to support Penny Arcade's Child's Play. We're also not content to merely follow the rest of the crowd, so we've devised a bit of a contest for all of you to help participate in spreading the word about and donating to Child's Play this holiday season.

About Child's Play

Originally Posted by Child's Play
Since 2003, we've set up and organized Child's Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 40 hospitals worldwide. In four short years, you as a community have answered the call and come together to raise millions of dollars.

That was awesome. You guys have proven over and over again that you are an overwhelming force, and you really came through and made a real difference to the millions of kids that children's hospitals care for each year. So we're doing it again this year, only this time we've expanded Child's Play to more hospitals around US and the globe so you can send toys to a hospital a little closer to home.

Child's Play works the same as last year. With the help of hospital staff, we've set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, and movies. You can go to each hospital's list and buy a toy, and that toy will be sent to the hospital. Some of these kids are in pretty bad shape. Imagine being stuck alone in a hospital over the holidays, getting something from a fellow gamer would really raise their spirits. Some of the stuff the hospital will give away for kids to keep, while other gifts (like consoles) will be kept by the hospital for patients to use throughout the year.

We are arguably the largest community of gamers on the internet. The important word there being community. We are not a faceless corporation and you are not just a number tracked by a database and then relayed to hungry advertisers. You guys have proven yourselves to be a powerful force when stirred into action. Here is your opportunity to use that power to do some real good.
Instructions
  1. Take the quiz offered at GamerDNA
  2. Come back and reply to this thread with your new signature displayed (and kindly spam that signature elsewhere too)
  3. Strongly consider donating directly to Child's Play via the ChipIn widget at the bottom of the leaderboard
Prizes

Three replies will be randomly selected from this very thread on January 1st, 2009. The one with the largest donation to Child's Play (proof required) will receive:The other two tightwads will receive:Please do not reply to this thread with anything other than a brief message to demonstrate your signature and to qualify yourself for the contest. Additionally, images in signatures have been enabled for all user accounts for the duration of the contest.

I'd really love to not only support Child's Play, but smash the other participating sites in pageviews and money raised as well. The winning community will be rewarded with 6 Nintendo DS and games donated to a hospital of their choosing. Let's crush the competition and decide the fate of those handhelds! Our leaderboard can be accessed at any time right here: Child's Play | Decades of Influence | gamerDNA

Thanks for your participation and generosity this holiday season!

I remember when my family used to play Pac Man and Snoopy and the Red Baron together on the Atari. Nothing beat my mom making a huge zelda map though for Zelda 1.

When I found out my grandparents had pong sitting around in their living room though... wow.

Excellent cause, great memories.
