There aren't any PC games on the list. All the console systems are on the wishlist, alongside any games. You must have studied the list at great length before presenting us with such a purposeful question.

if the only comments posted here were meaningful comments... there wouldn't be any comments. and my question remains the same--how many underpriviliged homes have the dispensible income to spend on game consoles? because I'm sure people will purchase more games than consoles from the list. ty for your comment though, rizzuh--and your smug, holier-than-thou attitude.

nickelback, this event is not for impoverished children. It is for children in a hospital. Many of the items on the wishlist have nothing to do with games, and none of the games are for the PC.



You don't need to take everything so personally. My point is that people aren't here to do the reading and summarizing for you. The only purpose your question served was to add cynical undertones to a charitable event. That's why I wasn't lauding your legitimate query, and why two others mocked it.

i'm sure a lot of kids hope they will be treated at those hospitals...

you're right, I incorrectly interpreted the article. but so long as we're arguing semantics, Phaze might want to reword his article, which incorrectly states that this cheritable event benefits "needy kids." to be truthful, I never even read the actual site--I think it was a fair assumption that we were talking about computer games--I mean, last time I checked this is a web site based (loosely these days) on a computer game, and all the article mentions are "games".



But I don't need to take it personally? I asked what I thought was an honest question, I get lambasted by you and the rest of the people who--for a reason that continues to escape me--worship the ground you walk on, and I'm the one that takes things personally. Okay. I won't even ask where in any of my posts I asked people to read for me--something that judging by the average intelligence quotient here would be an unreasonable request anyway. and as for cynical undertones... hell, you and asspennies are the self-proclaimed masters of that, aren't you?



none of this became cynical until you felt it necessary to step in and jump up and down and point out a mistake of mine. well kudos, rizzuh--mission accomplished. I feel like a total ass.

People bought so many toys that they could not physically deliver them?

----------------------------------------



In related news the first batch of toys was scheduled to be delivered to us today. However the mailman said there were simply too many packages. Something like three trucks worth I guess. They were going to have to make a special trip out tonight or tomorrow. I'll have pictures soon.
