Makenzie, I have to ask. Is that Callisto from Xena?


Yeah she assumed direct control of my avatar awhile back!  And frankly at time is has been all too descriptive of my emotions....


I love it :devil:

Posting on behalf of a friend who is having issues registering their game to the right account.

Since I can't post in the topic because of my game registering woes, I just wanted to pass along that I did donate and you folks are really doing something admirable with all of this, dear. <3

""It's been a long journey and no one is coming out without scars. But it all comes down to this moment. We win or lose it all in the next few minutes. Make me proud. Make yourselves proud." - Shepard

Other than the minutes bit appropriate quote is appropriate.

I have to say, this thread makes me proud to be a gamer, and a Bioware fan.

WOW! very surprised at the results so far. This is really something remarkable. Need to figure out a way to get more publicity though. Maybe notify forbes or one of the other news sites who has taken our side?

Hey some people in the "so we can't get the endings..." thread are worried about if the donations are actually going towards child's play, can someone who understands the mechanics a tad better then I go answer and calm their fears?

I signed up for one "at the beginning" and never used it. I might consider using it now...but the "conversations" and format really confuse the hell out of  me :P

Just donated as well, directly after experiencing the ending myself... My conclusion to that follows in the thread dedicated to that, but I also want to thank everyone for donating to this great cause!

May it bring some happiness to people less fortunate than us. What better way to escape Reality for a few moments than playing a great game^^

Wow.

Less than $400 away from hitting the 7k mark. o_o Y-you guys.

It's such an awesome thing when fans get together to not only show their passion for what they love in a positive and civil manner, but in a way that it helps those in need.

I can't think of any game that has inspired anyone to do so. It really speaks volumes of the love we have for Bioware and their games and I hope that they acknowledge this in some way.

In the end though, the kids willl win by everyone's efforts. Seriously great job, guys. :)

Here's trembli0s' explanation.

 Donated again, so impressed with the response this has generated so far. Less than a day and its already over $5,000. 
For those who are leery about the setup, this is verbatim from ChildPlay's Fundraising PDF:

"If you’re running purely as an Internet based fundraiser, it is absolutely imperative that you link directly to the Child’s Play PayPal account though ChipIn. ChipIn allows you to collect metrics on how much your fundraiser collected without having to “touch” the money. By "touching" the money, you are technically accepting money privately and then deciding to contribute the funds to Child's Play."

 Hope it helps

Can the OP post to show that the page is directly linked to Child's Play? In the PayPal window, it doesn't list Child's Play as the donation email.

The official receipt on your card is charged to Child's Play through Paypal...dunno if that helps. They discussed this topic earlier in the thread, I know.

Does anyone know anybody over at xbox or ps? We can let them know what we are doing. Maybe they would consider donating some systems directly to Child's play.
