This weekend, from 3pm on Friday until 12:30am on Monday, three guys played 7 Mario games to completion broadcasting the entire event live on the Internet to a sustained audience of over 2000, and raised over $11,100 for the Child’s Play Charity from over 600 contributors. It’s great to see a positive story about the video games and the community.
