Here’s a story to warm the cockles of your heart. The Speed Gamers will spend one week playing through Final Fantasy 1-10 and then 12 all in an effort to raise money for ACT (Autism Care and Treatment). The marathon began yesterday and will continue through July 24.

Bringing back memories of long summer days staying up till all hours of the morning playing video games, these guys are living the dream, but more than that, they’re doing it for a good reason. It’s a great cause and a great way to raise awareness for the group, so go to thespeedgamers.com, and you can watch their progress but more importantly, you can make a donation if you’re moved to do so.

Here’s hoping they reach they’re goal and have a good time doing it.
