It's that time of year again folks. Time to play video games live on the internet for an inordinate amount of the time! GameSpot's third annual Extra Life effort will see our entire international crew take part in a monster 100 hour gaming marathon. For the children!

What will we play during that 100 hours? Well 100 games of course, chosen by live viewers at the beginning of every hour using the poles on GameSpot's chat. This year's target sits at $20,000, just over what we made last year - with all funds going to Oakland Children's Hospital and Research Center.

This year's stream will once again be split across GameSpot's three international offices. Our headquarters in San Francisco will get the ball rolling at noon on Wednesday, passing over to our UK colleagues after twenty-four hours. Jess, Zorine and the team down in GameSpot AU will pick it up from them once we hit forty-eight before passing back to the San Francisco crew for the final twenty-eight hours stint.

See you there friends.

For the Children!

By day Ian Koehler faces the same terrible drudge we all do - by night however he is a criminal mastermind who holds the city in his iron fist. He writes - "A few weeks ago I found out Sleeping Dogs was getting remastered! I was pumped! I enjoyed the game a lot on my 360 but now I decided to step it up and get the PS4 version. For those of you that dont know you play as Wei Shen a undercover cop working for the San Francisco Police Department who is trying to take out a Triad gang from the inside."

GR: That Pokédex wont complete itself. so before diehard franchise fans jump to conclusions as to who is the real Pokémon master, Nintendo wanted to share new details of its upcoming remakes of the previous remakes of the original Red and Blue Pokémon games. I went to the company's offices near San Francisco to get hands on with Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, though the games werent recognizable in the least as I hadnt set thumbs on Ruby and Sapphire previously and my fandom has waned over the years.

His grades tanked. His parents fretted. A few years later, the 20-year-old from the San Francisco area leads a team of headset-wearing players into virtual battle in a darkened room at a small private university in Chicago. He's studying computer networking there on a nearly $15,000 a year athletic scholarship for playing League of Legends, the video game that once jeopardized his high school diploma.
