@TStodden Not true, Child's Play is active year round involving a lot of grass roots events like the Cookie Brigade at both PAX East and PAX Prime. We raised $9600 in February at PAX East.

Despite the minor error about how Child's Play was founded (the guys of Penny Arcade & not A gamer), it's still a great story.

Child's Play only does their charity work around the holidays, but they're still doing a great job!

They're playing Mario Kart 64 if you look closely at 0:53 ^_^
