Could be something about not worrying about coming to actual harm or dismemberment but it&#8217;s a really sweet feeling. What if that time spent being a virtual hero could be cashed in to help some heroic kids at the Children&#8217;s Miracle Network hospitals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend, Extra Life is giving you video game lovers the daunting task of playing video games (I know, it&#8217;s really hard) to raise money for the Children&#8217;s Miracle Network. Starting at 8AM on October 15th, gamers will get together (or not &#8211; I told you it&#8217;s really easy) and go on a 24-hour gaming spree. You choose the game, you choose the platform and kids get the benefit of your <del>sloth<\/del> er, dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t really feel like playing games for 24-hours, no worries, sponsor an hour (or 24) at as little as $1 per hour for a team and know that you can be a hero without picking up your controller, joystick, keyboard, phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you&#8217;re a team that&#8217;s participating and chronicling your dedication to the cause, send me an email, we&#8217;d love to feature you on The Noiescast.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.extra-life.org\/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&amp;eventID=501&amp;teamID=5754\">Extra Life<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become a real-life hero by playing video games!
