Run for Child’s Play
Over at Rooster Teeth, community member tsume is doing his own charity fundraising; he’s hosting ‘Run for Child’s Play‘. Over the next 18 weeks, he’s going to be training for the Lewis and Clark Marathon, to be held in St. Charles, MO on October 3. He’s going to be contributing $1 of his OWN money for every mile he runs during training and on race day – if you’d like to help, you can contribute towards his goal of $3000. Money will go to (if you couldn’t guess from the drive title) Child’s Play. (Louis Wu 14:41:23 UTC)

Showing the Love
Hedgemony has been plugging away at his apparent goal of beautifying every Halo: Reach screenshot ever taken – HEDGEMONYlovesHALO has gotten an upgrade, and a lot more pictures. They’re easier to browse now, which is good, because there are more than 150 of them. Go see! (Click on the ‘Contribute to the War Effort’ if you want to submit a picture of your own. The link goes to a request page, not a donation page.)(Louis Wu 14:37:23 UTC)
