The Returners: Final Fantasy Marathon

As we get closer to the end of the year, we start seeing more and more gaming marathons trying to help out Child’s Play or other organizations trying to fulfill the wishlists of sick children that require extended stays in hospitals. Most of us have heard of Child’s Play, but if you haven’t, here’s a quick description of what they do with the money donated. The money that is donated helps to buy books, toys, movies, games, gaming consoles, etc. in an attempt to keep the spirits of the sick children and the spirits of their families high during hard times.

Starting tomorrow, August 6th, The Returners will be hosting a 120 hour long Final Fantasy marathon to raise money for Child’s Play. They will be streaming the marathon live over the internet from their website at http://returnersgaming.blogspot.com/. Along with the video feed showing the game currently being played, they are also offering a chat that viewers can use to talk with one another as well as a secondary video feed that shows the group playing. One of the members will be commentating on the feed and will be interacting with the viewers live to answer questions and spur on donations.

So stop on buy The Returners’ website and show some support for the gamers and possibly their families that could use some good news and a spirit lift. Remember, we all play for the same reason…to have FUN!
