“The Zelda Marathon” To Support Big Brothers Big Sisters
The Penguins in the Desert Productions team is hosting The Zelda Marathon in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines – Thorold & District. The event is a fundraising effort to aid in mentorship programs, future fundraising efforts and making successful matches for children in the program.
The Penguins team will play seven Zelda games for 24 hours a day until all seven are completed. The team will broadcast live from the headquarters of the Big Brothers Big Sisters branch they are supporting and will also invite children in the program to play a few hours each day.
The Zelda Marathon will begin November 27 at 6 p.m. ET. Penguins in the Desert hopes to raise $5,000 for the program and donations can be made during the event through a “Chipin” widget on the event's Web site. Not only will you support a good cause, but members of the Penguins team will commit to "punishments" after reaching certain dollar amounts. Raise $500 and the team eats a can of sardines. Raise $5,000 and one of the members waxes a Triforce symbol on his chest. Ouch.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
