Wizards of the Coast to donate to Child’s Play Charity
Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity organization is one of the best examples of creators and fans giving to those in need. Wizards of the Coast and Penny Arcade have been rather tight these last couple of years, and with the launch of Magic 2011, Wizards of the Coast has pledged to donate up to $22,000 to the Child’s Play organization – but you’re going to need participate in order for the money to get into the hands of children and hostpitals.
To celebrate the launch of Magic 2011 Wizards of the Coast is hosting M11 Launch Parties around the globe and will determine a donation amount based on attendance at these parties. If 40,000 people attend, Wizards of the Coast will donate $11,000. For each additional 1,000 attendees Wizards of the Coast will donate $1,100 up to $22,000 (50,000 attendees).
By attending your local launch party, you can celebrate the release of an exciting new product AND help make a difference in the lives of children across the country. The event will last the entire weekend globally, starting at 12:00am July 16th in New Zealand and running through 11:59pm July 19th in Hawaii.

Penny Arcade: The Reality TV Show
Before you shake your head and cry out in disbelief, check out what Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins have to say about the PennY Arcade Reality TV Show.
I have exciting news to share! A while back we talked about a reality show based on life here at Penny Arcade. It was just something we kicked around during a podcast but the idea stuck with us. We kept getting mail from people saying that this was actually something they’d be interested in. Eventually we decided to partner with 2 Player Productions and actually do it. So now we have camera guys here in the office filming us make strips, play game and eat lunch. They also followed us around during PAX and they will be at the CP charity dinner. I’m super proud to announce that the pilot episode is now available. You can watch the two part pilot episode right here on the newly designed PATV page.
So watch the pilot and let us know what you think. Drop us a mail or hit the forum, we’d love to know what you think. Our plan is to release two episodes like this per month. You’ll be able to watch them all right here on the site. I know we’re hard to look at in our human form but if you can stomach it, I think the show is pretty interesting.
To be fair, this really isn’t a television show, as much as it is a web video series, but it is still really cool. Just be happy no one wants to see The Major Spoilers Show… just yet.
