Gamers online and offline can have a less then favorable reputation. Over the years this has started to change. One big factor in the change is gamers reaching out and doing good things for the community. Gamers (Heart) Japan charity that helped with Tsunami relief, and Child’s Play gave millions of dollars to children’s hospitals every year. One of these charities is Extra-Life, and this year The Gamer Access is participating. Team TGA will be gaming 25 hours straight for the Seattle Children’s Hospital, and you can game with us. Below is a link to our Extra-Life page. Donate (any amount is awesome), and not only do you help sick kids, but those who donate are picked first to game with us during the marathon. Below are each staff members screen names for each online gaming service and the times they will be on. We will be recording some of it (the last hour, we are all playing DOTA 2). So come on, help sick kids, play some games, and hang out with TGA staff members.
