Extra Life 2013: Play games, heal kids, join Team GamesBeat

If you have an entire Saturday free and want to do something fun — and slightly crazy — for charity, read on.

This year’s Extra Life charity gaming marathon is coming up on Nov. 2. It’s an event in which gamers all over the world spend an entire day playing video games to raise money for their local Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. This is its sixth year, and it’s raised over 4 million dollars since it began in 2008.
