Alright, guys, really exciting stuff happening right now.   Indie Games for Good is a charity group that's raising money for their "love of indie games, to promote the hard work of independent game developers, and most importantly, to raise money for a worthy cause."  That worthy cause is donating money to Child's Play charity.

What's Child's Play?

"…Child's Play [is] well-known and respected within the gaming community and beyond. Child's Play provides children's hospitals with a variety of games, toys, books, and other entertainment so that sick children will find their stays in the hospital easier to bear."

That's a pretty good cause if you ask me.  The best part?

"We're going to run a live stream of us playing indie games, and we'll keep playing for as long as people keep donating. Unlike other gaming marathons, which only play a predetermined list of games, the games we play during IGGMarathon will be determined by requests from our donors, so our viewers will be directly involved in the experience."


Originally they thought they would only reach $1000, but they've almost reached $5000.  Almost…  Currently they are at $4851.27.  I'm asking you guys to help them reach their next goal at $5000.

EDIT: Exciting news! They just hit $5000!!! Thank you for all those who donated!! Does that mean you should stop? Heck no! Keep at it, guys!

You can check out their site and watch them live here: [link] tons of information all about them, the marathon, and Child's Play charity. Check it out!  And remember… the more you donate, the more you are helping independently developed games, the longer they run their marathon, and of course, you are helping so many kids out.  For the kids!
