Gaming for a Good Cause

Whoa, site was down for a few days. Miss us?
One of the greatest joys in life is to use your inherent talents for the benefit of those less fortunate. But how could something like Final Fantasy serve the greater good? A group of players located in Texas known as the Speed Gamers recently hosted a week long non-stop gaming marathon in which they attempted to complete each and every one of the mainline Final Fantasy titles (that’s 1-10 and 12), feeding the entire saga over the Net via live stream video. While they didn’t quite succeed in accomplishing that (however, they did finish 1-3 & 5-9 and almost 4, which was a valiant effort), what they did achieve was raising over $50,000 for ACT Today, a charity for autistic children. The support for their efforts was very apparent, as the viewer load on the stream got as high as 22,000 people at one point. And we’re totally down with that.

Not crazy about the dubbing but some things [...]

It’s no news now that the next installment hits the United States on March 9th this year. Needless to say this is long overdue and hopefully retail stores will be announcing midnight release plans soon. Check out the official website to tons of high quality screen shots, trailers, and info on the game (http://www.finalfantasyxiii.com)
