TOMORROW, Andy and I are taking part in Panda's All Star Nickvitational; a HUGE Nickelodeon All Star Brawl tournament featuring a bunch of big YouTubers and streamers like Ovilee, Moist Critikal, Ludwig, and more. It's all to raise charity for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

WE need YOUR help. Competitors in the tournament and their communities have 1 week to raise money to bid on their favorite character. That's based on the money you donate. Right now you can go to kindafunny.com/bless and kindafunny.com/andy to donate so that we can bid on the character of our choice. Spoilers, I really want Toph from Avatar. And remember that money all goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The tournament is happening on Tuesday, October 5th (tomorrow) at noon PT on Twitch.tv/pandaglobal.

If that’s not enough Blessing content for you, this week you’re getting another episode of The Blessing Show. That’s my monthly show where I break down a hot topic for you in video games.This month’s episode is loopy as hell. Make sure to check that out THIS Thursday on Youtube.com/KindaFunnyGames.

AND the first episode of The Arkham Files, a Kinda Funny Games Mini-Series where Barrett looks back at what makes each of the Batman: Arkham games so special, premieres next Monday, October 11th, on YouTube.com/KindaFunnyGames at 2:30pm PT. Join Barrett in the live chat and talk with him about why Arkham Asylum is still a masterclass in design.
