I got to visit the Child's Play Charity Auction YAY!

SerathisBel

I just got back from Seattle and the Child's Play Charity event. Guys, it was amazing. There was tons of cool stuff to see, I got to meet and greet with industry professionals and I was entertained by the main men themselves, Jerry and Mike. I was a little afraid going by myself, but I had a great time. I will definitely visit again next year. In case you guys missed it, but were interested in seeing what it was like, I did a small write-up and added some pictures on my blog.

Hey neat! Child's Play is a great charity. Did you donate a lot this year?

SerathisBel

I think I did a good amount. I wish I could have done more, but it was a bit of a lean year for me. I'm trying to come up with some ideas to help out though. I thought Desert Bus for charity was doing a great job. I doubt anybody would want to watch me to a video game marathon though.

The item I donated apparently wasn't listed or auctioned, so I'm kinda upset about that.

Well does that mean it goes directly into the charity then? I dunno how it works

Yes, all $0 that was raised.

Muggins

Maybe it goes a to a lucky kid?

Neville auctioned his maiden's head, and the deal was voided when they discovered that the product in question was damaged.

Ooooooohhhhh snap

RMED is dead to me.
I was trying to auction off a copy of Diablo 3, autographed by the devs. And it'd be overnighted to arrive on release day.

I dunno, we'll work something out I'm sure.

I'll give ya 10 bucks for it.

Muggins

Fuck that I'll pay 20!

neville

you're both dickholes

Muggins

You drive a hard bargain

Ok I'll go up to 30

godmode

Oh, don't be sore, Nevs.

The most I've spent at a charity auction was $200. I'll match that, at least

Solid Saints, nev!

Chris, I love you, and when I (verbally) hit you, it is for that reason.

What about when you physically hit me?
What's the reason then?

I was able to go one year and it was fun. Bid on one thing in the silent auction, but didn't win.

I wore a tux, complete with gloves, top hat, and cane.

Saints won't be until after the holidays.

New stand-alone site and auction software.

Lucky you, OP! I'd love to go but its very far away, I'm glad you had a nice time

I think I read February getting tossed around?
Don't recall if that was for the bidding or the call for items
