PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

In addition to sharing my weekly reading list, I wanted to specifically point out Extra Life, a 24-hour gaming marathon to support the Texas Children’s Cancer Center in Houston. We all like to play (a lot), and it’s really cool to see gamers turning a hobby that some (misinformed) people decry into results that everyone can appreciate. I’m also specifically calling out Destructoid’s Jim Sterling, who, in a pun-laden stunt,is aiming to play SingStar for 24 straight hours. My voice tends to break up after 2 or 3 songs (this is a good thing), so I’m definitely hoping to see “SingSterling” take place. Jim, if you sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, please do it The Dan Band-style, like in Old School for me. I [deleted] need it more than ever.

As usual, please feel free to share your favorite links of the week in the comments below.
