      This makes me happy to be a gamer.

      I’m glad I could help, well worth it.

      Best day at Sarcastic Gamer. No contest. Get well Tori!!!!

      Glad to see she got it, she should slap you for buying her Viva Pinata Party Animals though. :P You bought her Forza 2, and is that Far Cry in the back I see or am I just missing something? XD Hope she gets well.

      Is it too early to call ourselves Saint Sarcastic Gamer.com? That smile makes the world a better place.

    • 6 Lono // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:13 pm

      she got those games for free from the Xbox Community Managers. Directly from Microsoft. Thank you Microsoft!

    • 7 lwelyk // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:15 pm

      Wow. I’m so happy that you managed to get enough in one day.

    • 8 DaDillsta // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:24 pm

      Oh I see I thought he actually bought Viva Pinata: Party Animals. I was like wow. That game behind it is still bugging me what box art it is lol, I’d really like to know now that I’m looking for it somewhere it seems really familiar. xD

      I thought Doc said Microsoft sent her all of those games. He only got the system.

    • 10 Dr.gliffbu // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:36 pm

      yay for the power of sarcastic gamer

      also i dont think thats farcry mainly because they would not give a child an m rated game also microsoft didnt publish it and those are all MS published games.

    • 11 DaDillsta // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:41 pm

      Lol I realized that, but she is 15 so they might not care I mean there is T games there. It sucks to see people go through this kind of stuff, especially kids. I know I felt bad for my brother when he had to stay in the hospital because he was diagnosed with Type I (Juvenile) Diabetes, and his blood sugar was like 1000 when they first found out he had it, they said he was lucky to even be conscious when they brought him in.

    • 12 DaDillsta // Dec 21, 2007 at 11:43 pm

      Sega Rally Revo, definite.

    • 13 Ooopy // Dec 22, 2007 at 12:07 am

      I am so happy to see that smile on her face. Thanks Doc for sharing this with us

    • 14 Alecsander_C // Dec 22, 2007 at 1:24 am

      I said it before and I’ll say it again, how come Jack Thompson or people against gaming never look at this aspect of gamers?

      Helping even if it’s just to get a lil girl some games to make her hospital stay a little better?

      Sure there are some fu** ups out there but there’s a huge community of gamers that are (to say the least) good people

    • 15 vinster345 // Dec 22, 2007 at 1:24 am

      Get in, fantastic woerk there Doc, sarcastic gamer and all who helped make that possible. That’s truly an amazing thing to raise that much money in just under two days. Brings a little festive tear to the eye!!!

      James Price McKinney would be proud. Kudos to you guys for showing that gamers aren’t just uncaring shut-ins only concerned about them selfs.

    • 25 Paul Reynolds // Dec 22, 2007 at 2:58 pm

      Nice to see someone happy:)and cheerful:)

    • 26 Link // Dec 22, 2007 at 4:07 pm

      Ya done good, but you shoulda gotten Bioshock, Mass Affect, Assassin’s Creed, and of course Halo 3.

    • 27 Final Fantasy XXXXX // Dec 22, 2007 at 5:01 pm

      Er, no, Link. What cancer patient would want to play a game about killing people, when they’re in the middle of a hospital bed? ._.

      Well, anyway, this photo makes me very happy.
      So, anyone think we should send it to a certain Mr. Thompson? xd

    • 28 AblativMeatshld // Dec 22, 2007 at 8:00 pm

      Absolutely full of win…

    • 29 Arseen // Dec 23, 2007 at 4:18 am

      Nice presents, but am I right that that is core system box and yet there is no separate HDD or Memory card shown on picture.

      ANYWAY MERRY CRISTMAS TO THOSE WHO SELEBRATE IT, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO OTHERS.

    • 30 VictorSxL // Dec 23, 2007 at 4:51 am

      Respect everyone who donated! And respect to Doc

    • 31 V3NOM // Dec 23, 2007 at 1:32 pm

      :D That just made my day.

    • 32 AblativMeatshld // Dec 23, 2007 at 2:09 pm

      The 20gig HDD should arrive monday to Doc’s house, then goes to the young lady…

      So what’s her gamer tag? lol

    • 33 Doc // Dec 23, 2007 at 2:36 pm

      The HDD actually came yesterday. I plan to take it to her tomorrow. I checked on her yesterday and she said she and her dad were doing a LOT of racing.

      For the recrod the games were what I asked for from MS. Stuff that’s age-appropriate and nothing dark.

      Congrats again all.

    • 34 Lono // Dec 23, 2007 at 4:30 pm

      Unless she has a wireless adapter, I don’t think she’ll be gaming online….

    • 35 AblativMeatshld // Dec 23, 2007 at 7:49 pm

      I knew we forgot something…

    • 36 Shadow O.E. // Dec 26, 2007 at 8:52 am
