Why U-Pick Video Game Marathon is fundraising for clean water

<TL;DR:> Donate, pick a game from this list (http://bit.ly/UPickList) and leave the name of the game in your comment. Then watch in December to see if the Wheel of Destiny lands on your game! </TL;DR>

http://www.upickvg.com for more info, or keep on reading:

For 48 hours at the end of December, Stephonee and the rest of the crew at the U-Pick Video Game Marathon for Charity will play the games selected by our donors and broadcast a live-stream of all the gameplay!

100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects in Ethiopia and Cambodia. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send you proof in pictures and GPS coordinates, so you can see the actual people and communities you impacted.

How your donation picks the video games we play:

* Donate on this page and leave the name of the game you’d like to see played as a comment on your donation. We’ve got an eclectic list of 52 games to choose from: http://bit.ly/UPickList
* Money donated for each game will be converted into points for that game, and you can now see the rankings of games that have been donated for: http://bit.ly/UPick2013Rankings
* During the 48-hour broadcast, we’ll spin a Wheel Of Destiny (once every hour) with 7 numbers and a special “DEMOCRACY!” space on it. Whatever number the wheel lands on (1-7), we’ll play the game in that ranking.
* The game determined by the Wheel of Destiny will be played for one hour, until the wheel is spun again. But the game played will also lose all of its points and drop to the bottom of the rankings. If you want to see that game played again, you’ll have to donate to get its ranking back up!
* If the Wheel of Destiny lands on the “DEMOCRACY!” space instead of a number, we’ll play one hour of the game that’s at the top of our official online poll at that exact moment.

Can’t donate? (Or, want to just increase the chances that your game will be played?) Follow us on one of our social media accounts to vote in our “DEMOCRACY” poll, which has its own slot on the Wheel of Destiny.
