This week's Child's Play Charity Auction Dinner raised more than $200,000 for worthy causes, reports Gabe of Penny Arcade.
Among the items auctioned off was the rather impressive statue at left depicting an Orc from World of Warcraft on his mount.
Simply awesome - both the event and the statue...

Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
It actually looks quite small, about 3-4 times the size of a Games Workshop Orc Boar-Rider, which it looks very much like (being an Orc on a Warg(?), this is hardly surprising).
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
They've raised nearly an entire million all together. It's pretty impressive, all economic things considered.
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K

Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
Slightly more than eleven dollars.
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
One thing you forgot to mention Dennis was that the statue did have a pretty heavy bidding war...
With Gabe winning it in the end.
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
The guys over at penny arcade have done so much good they could go around randomly beating up homeless people and would still be viewed as great guys to the general public.
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
Wait. Are you implying that beating up random homeless people is a bad thing?
Should I not be doing that?
Re: Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity Auction Brings in $200K
These murder simulators are teaching our kids to go around beating up homeless people!

I thought that was Bumfight...?
