Harmonix and Child’s Play have announced that they’re banding together for a charity benefit
Rock Band night at San Francisco’s DNA Lounge the night of December 9. “Ümloud!” is an all-ages event organized by
GameLife’s Chris Kohler,
Gamehelper’s Joe Markert and
Telltale Games’ John “Seg” Seggerson, and staffed by a number of Bay Area games bloggers, including
yours truly.
The party kicks off at 7PM PT and runs through 2AM PT on December 10, with a suggested $10 donation for admission. Everyone who attends will automagically be made eligible for a chance to win some of the many raffle prizes that’ll be awarded throughout the night, but those who wish to donate more can sign up for two different “band packages” — which include reserved songs and the chance to play on DNA’s main stage — at the Ümloud! site.
Proceeds from the event will go to provide toys and video games to children’s hospitals nationwide, including the local Oakland Children’s Hospital.

Under Wii / Nintendo
We love Mario. We mean, we’re somewhat contractually obligated to, being huge nerds and all. Still, there’s certain stages in the core Mario games that are simply excruciating to play — we usually skip them during our nostalgic romps. That’s why we can’t help but admire the efforts of three men who are playing through every Super Mario title — collecting every star, completing every level and Shining every Get! (Err — getting every Shine.)
They’re not doing this for fun, of course — for the second year in a row, they’re running through this “Mario Marathon,” collecting donations for Child’s Play. They’ve already been at it for two days — but with the team yet to totally complete Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Sunshine, then Super Mario Galaxy again (as that totally secret character), there’s a lot of ballgame left to be played.
