    I’m playing video games to help sick kids, and you should too

    By

    November 3rd, 9am. You wake up, have a good stretch, and put on your slippers. Maybe you'll make some coffee, or crawl back into bed and read a good book, or get dressed real quick and visit with the neighbors. It is a Sunday after all, and the day is rife with possibilities.Unless you're me, that is. I'll be collapsing into my bed at 9am with blurry eyes and an exhausted spirit. I'll have just completed 25 hours of straight gaming, and the wires that provide my brain with any sort of cognitive function will be frayed and strained to their last.And did I mention that it's my birthday?That's ok. It's for the children.On November 2nd at 8am, I'll be joining gamers from around the world in a marathon to raise funds for local children's hospitals in North America. At present, 10525 gamers have signed up for Extra Life 2013 - almost twice as many had signed up a month before the event last year, co-founder Jeremy Adoms tells me. And it seems like it's only going to get bigger.

Thanksgiving is a special time where we can reflect on the last year, and be grateful for all that it's given us.  But not everyone has been as fortunate as we have. That's why Thanksgiving is also an amazing time for us to give back.

    Think of some of the best mobile games this year. Horn. SQUIDS Wild West. Puzzlejuice. These are the kind of games that survive spring (or fall!) cleaning on your device; some of which stood out as our favorites of the summer. What would you pay for a chance to own their soundtracks? Twenty dollars a' piece? Nine dollars on iTunes? How does one dollar sound, for all of them? And more.
