This August 6th we will be hosting a 120 hour long Final Fantasy marathon to raise money for Child’s Play. Child’s Play seeks to fulfill the wishlists of sick children that require extended stays in hospitals by using money donated to buy books, toys, movies, games, gaming consoles, etc. in an attempt to keep their spirits and the spirits of their families high during hard times. More information on Child’s Play can be found at http://www.childsplaycharity.com/

We stream our marathons live over the Internet from our website at http://returnersgaming.blogspot.com/. Along with the video feed showing the game currently being played we offer a chat that viewers can use to talk with one another as well as a secondary video feed that shows our group playing. We have someone commentating on this feed that interacts with the viewers live to answer questions and spur on donations. Our method of collecting donations is a ChipIn widget on our site. It allows anyone with a PayPal account or some form of credit card/debit card/Visa gift card/etc. to donate. It also allows us to track total donations collected toward our current goal and allows donors to leave comments to in turn spur us on to push through the long hours of the marathon. The widget is linked directly to Child’s Play’s account so that all donations go directly to them without requiring us as a middleman. For those parties that are interested any donation made through our ChipIn is tax deductible as the PayPal receipt returned can be used as a letter of acknowledgement showing that they have directly donated to a charitable organization.

Konami’s Koji Igarashi has been fairly quiet over the past few months. Actually, he did not even make an appearance at E3. This led some folks wondering what Igarashi’s status with the company is. However, this is no need to worry. A spokesperson for the company told Kotaku that “he is still at Konami, and he is still working on projects.”

Igarashi will most likely reveal his new title at the Tokyo Game Show. But could it be another Castlevania DS game? The same spokesperson, when asked if a new Castlevania for Nintendo’s portable could be on the way this year, said “I can’t say anything.”
