It's heartening to see so many gamers and sites lining up to help out the victims of Katrina. Here's a list of the few I know about, including one I started through Kotaku:
Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade are auctioning off the original drawing used to create the cover of the program for this year's Penny Arcade Expo. The winner will also get a print of the finished artwork. Last I checked the auction had risen to just over $3,000. Nice.
Sony Online Entertainment added the /donate command to Everquest II. If you type it in, it jumps you to the American Red Cross' Katrina relief page, where you can make direct donations.
Bungie whipped up a pretty cool Fight the Flood T-shirt , featuring a picture of Master Chief kicking the tail out of a cartoon hurricane. The shirts cost $20 and $15 of that is being donated to the American Red Cross.
I gathered a bunch of the game swag I've collected over the years and started an auction over on eBay. You can see the full list and pictures over on Kotaku or just jump straight into the bidding here . The coolest item is probably the Xbox 360 E3 Faceplate, still sealed in its container. 100 percent of the money goes straight to the Red Cross.
If, for some reason, you still need a reminder of why you should care. Here's one gamer's first-hand account of surviving the storm and its after-math.
Now get out there and show the world that gamers are good for something.
