If you're a non-gamer, people playing video games for hours on end would be something you might make fun of. In the case of TheSpeedGamers however, their effort should be applauded. This dedicated group of game fans hail mostly from Fort Worth, Texas, and they do live feeds of their marathons to raise money for worthwhile charities. Right now, you can watch a 72-hour live feed of various Metroid games in action, with donations going to the Halton Autistic Family Support Group.
It's actually sort of fun to have on in the background, and chatting with fellow gamers and the moderator is a good way to show your support as well. Money helps too.
