(Brenlo - stationblog) - 2 Million Dollars is simply Child?s Play - Tue, 02 Jan 2007

As I began my post holiday catch up of various news sites, I stumbled across a NY Times piece on the Child’s Play Charity.** The piece talks about the roots of the charity and the money it has raised to date, definitely*worth reading and like my blog entries, it is short.* Mike and John, alias Gabe and Tycho have done a great thing here, raising over 2 million dollars for Children’s Hospitals around the world.* Our own John Smedley is quoted in the story,

Mr. Smedley said, Child’s Play “really helps bring our industry together for the common purpose of helping kids.”

I agree.* With all of the criticism out there about video games, as well as all of the competition we have between various companies it is refreshing to*see industry and fans alike come together and do something so worthwhile.*
Thanks Tycho and Gabe for starting the charity and for all the good it has done.
