So… Are You Fallout 4 or Not? The Survivor2299 Hubbub

I remember when I was a little girl, my brothers used to play this dirty little mind trick on me to get me all riled up. They’d whisper fake words into each other’s ears, and as soon as I got close enough to barely make out what they were saying, they would both whisper (albeit slightly louder to make sure I heard): “Don’t tell Rachel.”  It drove me nuts. I just had to know what I wasn’t supposed to know!  Read More →

25 Hours Can Truly Make a Difference! Join Us For The Extra Life Marathon.

Gamers usually start out falling in love with video games at a very young age. I know I can’t remember a time when I didn’t play, so it makes sense that we would encourage and support our youth through the same medium that makes us feel so young at heart. And what better way to do that than to take those games and do a marathon for children who need our support the most, because they’re sick or injured?  Read More →

Gamer Living To Take On 24-Hours Of Video Gaming For Charity

Extra Life 2012 kicks off at 8am this Saturday, 10/20.  A simple enough premise: Play video games for 24 hours straight to raise money for a Children’s Miracle Network hospital.  A worthy cause if there ever was one.  It will mark my third year participating in this 24 hour torture session for eyeballs everywhere.  It will be a first, though, doing so as part of a team.  Unlike past years, where the ill-temper, delirium, and nonsensical profanity-laced tirades brought about by doing most anything for 24 straight hours have been solitary affairs, thankfully hidden from the public, this year they’ll be available for all to see.  What’s even more fun?  I’m bringing friends too.  GamerLiving.net’s own Will Anderson and Blair Hicks will be joining my Ocular Death March for Kids.
