The Drunken Moogle: Boss Battles Charity Video Game Marathon for Child’s Play
December 16th, BossBattles.org is having their second annual gaming marathon charity for Child’s Play. Rob and Jake will be playing video games, performing challenges, drinkin’ dranks, and giving away prizes! All the action can be viewed live on their UStream. Checkpoints will be set up where events will trigger and prizes will be won when donations (or other goals) are reached. All donations raised will go straight to Child’s Play. The goal for this year is to raise $10,000.
The Drunken Moogle has made eight brand new drinks, with themes from Minecraft and Castle Crashers, which will debut during the marathon.
Rob and Jake from BB will be joined by some special guests, such as OmniGriffey, the Mass Effect Marathon team, and Liquid’ Sheth. Games played will include Minecraft, Castle Crashers, Mario Party 2, Contra III, Toejam and Earl, Starcraft II and more!
So come and hang out for a bit! Donate, play games, talk with the team, watch fun challenges and win cool prizes! The weekend will be tons of fun.

This is it! This Saturday (only 2 days away), I’ll be playing games for 24-hours straight to honor every pledge that was made. Together, we have raised over $7,400 and are 74% away from our ultimate goal of $10,000 for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. It’s not too late to get involved!
Help us reach 100% by making a donation (of any amount) below:
I’m excited to see so many of you get involved and contribute to this awesome cause. Thank you to every single person who donated to help raise this money. I visited Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles last week and had the opportunity to meet a lot of the kids that are going to benefit from this charity drive. It was an amazing experience and made me truly appreciate everything we have accomplished! Thank you.
On October 16, 2010, a team of editors at IGN will stay awake for 24 hours and play video games for Extra Life.
