The Yogscast is again hosting their annual, month long charity drive. Once again, every day in December (except for maybe Christmas day I believe), the Yogscast team will live stream through Twitch for a few hours starting at 12PM (ET; 9AM PT; 5PM GMT). Every day will be something new and different all in an effort to raise money for a variety of charities.
This year, the charities being donated to include:
How does this tie into gaming news outside of them playing games every day this month? I'm glad you asked. Once again this year, the Yogscast have a special Humble Bundle up for sale. If you donate $25 or more through the Humble Bundle page, you will receive $126 (USD) worth of games. Every single penny that is donated through Humble will go towards the charities.
In addition, Team Fortress 2 item collectors will probably want to jump on this because it features a unique item for the game.
Today marks the first day of the charity drive and they've already neared $63,000 through Humble that is goign towards charity.

If you're a seasoned gamer who already owns all these games but is still feeling charitable, a $5 donation would be much appreciated and will earn you a shoutout while the Yogscast Jingle Jam is streaming live who will call out your name and even read a message of your choice (per Yogscast's approval so keep it clean, folks!). You'll also receive the Team Fortress 2 Thought That Counts Medal DLC.
