Lame Game Marathon returns in mid-November to raise funds for UNICEF

The Lame Game Marathon returns on 15 November 2014 for its fourth consecutive year of UNICEF fundraising.

Partnering with UNICEF and Twitch, the Lame Game Marathon features a ton of solid blokes playing atrocious games for your enjoyment. It’s all about schadenfreude, you know?

This year’s selection of games hasn’t been announced yet. Further details about the event can be found here.

Members of the Lame Game Marathon will also take to a PAX AUS panel on 1 November, 9.30 pm, to discuss the event.

Last year, the Lame Game crew raised $7,800 for UNICEF. Those monies were put to use to aid underprivileged children around the globe. As you’d expect, the aim is to beat last year’s donations — those who wish donate to the cause ahead of time can do so here.

News Editor Leo Stevenson and Podcast Producer Shane Wall are heavily involved with the Lame Game Marathon. Editor Steve Wright might appear on this year’s stream for an hour or two, but he hardly has to do any work for the event otherwise. In fact, he insists upon having to do as little as possible. Still, we thought you should know; disclosure disclosure disclosure.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
