i guess i donated a week's worth of pay to Child's Play Charity

I donated 301 dollars to Child's Play Charity, through the Ragequit.Tv 48 hour stream.   it is good to donate. It is a good cause.  C'mon people you can donate too.
The total so far, is almost 3400 dollars. someone else donated 200 and 300 dollars,  but i decided to 1up them with 301.
 
Someone 1 up me... and it's still all good. that another 300+ dollars for CPC. i donated with ChipIn through Ragequit.tv

I need a source of income before I spend it like that. 
 
Besides, I would rather give it to another charity.

I spent my last £20 on a Gears Of War "Save Carmine!" shirt - all proceeds going to childsplay. I also bought the Humble Indie bundle a while back and donated all the proceeds from that as well. I think it's a great charity :D

I dunno, wouldn't it be a better idea to give your money to a chairty that's working on finding cures for illnesses?  Seems like a better use of money tbh.

Good for you, man. Every year I do the Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon charity through Sarcastic Gamer. I get friends/family to pledge me some money, and just game through the night. The money goes to the Texas Children's Hospital. It's fun, and always for a good cause :)

Who cares why someone donates?  They could be donating for the most selfish reason possible, and they still deserve to be applauded simply for contributing something positive to society.  
 
That's just my opinion though.  Personally, I can't ever see myself giving up a week's pay.

Good cause is a good cause.   
 
And if this good cause ties directly into your favorite hobby, then that makes it even better.

I helped Raise money for RelayForLife, earlier this year. 
 
@GIVEMEREPLAY: no, actually, I was trying to help spread the word to get others to donate something...  Dick. 
 
its funny how people talk shit about someone else who does something for charity, because they aren't willing to do something good themselves.  I hope if they have any kids, they never get hospitalized, because I don't want you to benefit from from the charity of the rest of us.

Wow, assholes presiding even within a thread about donating to a charity. Giant Bomb's community has gotten exceptionally shitty in the last year or so.

They raised 4200 dollars in the 48 hour stream.  So they did really good. Props to the RageQuit.tv guys and all the donators.

Yeah I give an amount of money to save the children every month, and during christmas I give to the salvation army so that the poor can have food for the holidays. It's not that I feel good by giving away money, it's that I feel bad if I don't :P Especially during xmas. Also I would feel like an asshole if I called save the children to cancel my monthly donation.

@Skillface:  maybe they never had a really shitty day where they just wanted to do something that made them feel like maybe they helped make a difference for someone besides themselves. I wish I could have done more. maybe if I made 6 figures, I could have donated a lot more.  
 
It's really annoying to have so much negative response to something I did to try to help make a difference.  No wonder I don't get along with people as well as others.

If that was your intention your post would have been titled "Please donate to Child's Play!" not "so I guess I did a good thing hurgadurr". I've donated probably 150-200 bucks to a variety of charities and non-profits this year alone, but I generally don't run around with that fact hanging off my sleeve like some people.  
 
I also appreciate the ill wishes. It shows just what a big boy you are.
