I have been addicted to watching this gaming marathon by Speed Demos Archive. They are doing speedruns on all sorts of games for charity, classic and new, and 100% of donations goes towards the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

Yesterday they had a guy play the first part of his Mike Tyson's Punchout speedrun blindfolded until he finally got KO'd by Piston Honda, and he almost got him down too.

I just think it's great for this to be going on right now, while people are blaming video games for so many bad things because it shows gamers are capable of doing some really awesome things for society as well. They've already raised over $100,000 and are going at a record pace.

It's pretty much always running until Friday I think.
