Fellow pwners,

Haloathon2 kicks off on Bungie Day at 7pm (uk time). http://www.haloathon.com

WTF?
We are playing all the Halo games back to back in the order of release. We will be streaming this live and begging for donations to Child's Play charity which can be made via paypal through our site.

Who are Child's Play
Child's Play are a charity founded by the dudes at PennyArcade. They set up the foundation to buy toys and games for kids in hospital (60 hospitals worldwide) to make their time on the ward more bearable and also to distract them from worrying about their illness or surgery etc.

Can I get involved?
YES! We also have the Halo League - if you make a donation through Haloathon during the event and enter your gamertag you will be entered into our league. Stick on Halo Reach matchmaking and pwn as much as you can while we are playing the marathon. We can track your kills/deaths/betrayals/headshots etc.. We will be awarding prizes to donators and also noble members of the league. You can also keep us company in the chat or twitter streams throughout the event.

Prizes
We have a couple of prizes at the moment to give away (tshirts, posters etc) and are trying to secure more Halo swag to be raffled off through donations, if anyone can help us secure stuff to give away that would be great! Bungie?

Arty Farty
Good with a pen? If you want to raffle off any of your original paintings or digital art that you have created or any other Halo crafs, drop me a line.(braggy at gmail) You can also submit fanart or daft drawings during the event on our website for audience and our amusement.

But I got no monies!
If you're skint (tough times these days) then you can still get involved and help us out. You can tell everyone you know about our event once we're live, tweet till you drop, celebrate bungie day! Get your friends round, play some halo and keep us entertained on the live stream. We will also be taking calls from viewers over skype to play some halo related trivia games and for general banter!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post and apologies if you are offended by charity spam.

If you guys have any ideas that can help us enhance the event even more please get in touch.
