Headshots From the Heart Marathons Borderlands 2 For Charity


The second annual Headshots From the Heart gaming marathon will spend 24-hours with Borderlands 2 in a skull-popping quest to raise money for Child's Play.

I hope you have room in your life for another charity gaming marathon because on May 18, a group from lovely Kitchener, Ontario is going to sink 24 solid hours of their lives into Borderlands 2 in a guns-blazing drive to support the Child's Play charity. The team raised more than $2500 playing the original Borderlands last year and is aiming for $8000 this year.

To help encourage interest and donations, the Headshots team is inviting local gamers who raise $50 for Child's Play to join them at Nik Harron [http://www.kwartzlab.ca/] to a collection of gear donated by event sponsor SteelSeries, plus prizes, interviews, performances and more.

"Last year people wanted to help by gaming themselves," said Headshots From the Heart co-founder Jim Tigwell. "This year they can come, join our LAN party, participate in live challenges, relax in our Spike|Mobile Console Lounge, win great prizes and know they are helping Child's Play."

The Headshots From the Heart Child's Play Marathon begins at 12:30 pm EDT on May 18 and runs for a rock-solid 24 hours, and will be streamed live from start to finish. You can find out more (including what a "Spike|Mobile Console Lounge" is) at headshotsmarathon.org [http://headshotsmarathon.org/home/].

As much as I do not play Borderlands (either game cause I am completely burned from the FPS genre..with the exception of retro FPS games), this is a cool cause. Be more awesome if people who have the game on their respective console have an online tournament participation and can stream from that as well.
