While we can't help but get "agitated" over video games sometimes, it's important to remember that there are real people out there with very real problems. It's nice, then, when our favourite hobby is used to do good – and MrSeanieBop, a Twitch streamer with a big heart, intends to play through the first three Ratchet & Clank titles this week in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The stream's set to begin at 20:00PM BST tonight, and will run daily until Saturday, 14th June. It should be a nice opportunity for you to swot up on Insomniac Games' platforming property ahead of the PlayStation 4 remake's inevitable reveal at E3 2015 next week. Of course, it's also a chance for you to do some good, so dig deep and give generously if you can. Qwark's watching.

@BLPs Oh, this is you. Best of luck!
@BLPs this is you? Well done. I know we may not see eye to eye on some things but this is a great cause, I'll be sure to donate.
is there a justgiving page for it? I'm sure the mods wouldn't mind you linking to it here.
Either way, it's a good laugh for a good cause, Stretch....
@BLPs Ain't this a coincidence? Nice to see you doing something good and getting it recognised on the site. Good luck buddy
Someone mentioned earlier about Sony and Nepal donations...i really wanted to donate and get the really nice theme Sony were offering...but again Sony ha e let us down in UK as there is no theme available here.. And before anyone comments that it's seems kinda wrong to want something for donating, I have already donated and will probably do so again.. Its something that is very close to my heart as my wife is from Philippines...remember yolanda?
@teknium_ Dude, whether or not you have donated it's not cool to be complaining that you have been "let down" because you didn't get a free cosmetic reward for what is supposed to be a charitable action. The reward is that you have contributed towards helping people who desperately need it. Just because your wife is from the affected area and you have already donated does not make your attitude of entitlement here any less wrong. If the issue is so close to your heart then don't belittle it by throwing your toys out the pram because you didn't get a pretty background for your donation. Try and have some perspective...
@BLPs good on you buddy, and for a great cause too, always happy to help raise money for CRUK (I abseiled Battersea Power Station a couple years back for one of their fundraisers). Hope it all goes to plan! Do you know if you can donate via the Twitch app on PS4? I'm unable to access Twitch on my work computer to donate :/ failing that is there any chance you could set up a JustGiving page? Only takes 5 mins, and the funds go straight to the charity
@BLPs yeah you are able to manually track donations from other sources, it's got a fair bit of functionality, and is free and pretty simple to use too. But having said that, if you have that other page then I guess it's not essential! All the best man, doubt I'll be able to tune in much as my other half isn't likely to be interested, but will try and catch some of it if I can!
My main gripe is that Sony continually let us down here in UK.. In general the UK store is way worse than than the USA one...just a whinge at sony...and my wife is from Philippines, not Nepal..
