“Child’s Play” ‘05 in Full Swing

imageThis is the time of year that one has to note the progress of the "Child's Play" charitable drive of toys, games and funds for sick children, organized by the folks at the mega-successful webcomic Penny Arcade. According to this article, more than $80,000 was raised at a dinner held in conjunction with the ongoing drive, while the regular site shows overall earning well into six figures. And... well, wow.

As I recall, one of the driving forces behind the effort was to show that gaming enthusiasts, like those who make up a huge percentage of Penny Arcade's audience, aren't as cheap, self-involved and uncaring as the stereotype indicates.
