Mario Marathon has become a delightful yearly event, and the fourth installment is running as I type! A team of generous friends will play Mario games all nonstop, all weekend, to raise donations for Child’s Play Charity, which collects cash and toy donations for children’s hospitals around the world. It’s most fun at, like, 3:20 a.m., when the guys are half-dead and completely lacking in the motor skills required to play Mario games, but you can sign on, watch, and donate whenever you like. The webcast is live now, so break out your checkbooks and credit cards!

Nothing quite like watching sleep-deprived guys failing at video games.
