As a rule, I remain unaware of most of the big game award shows, because they are mostly hype above substance. HOWEVER, Mark Hamill is up for the “Best Voice” award and this dude deserves to win. Not only is he THE Joker, but he’s a really cool guy to boot.

As I was made aware of this by my friend Mark Walters of Bigfanboy.com, I am linking both to his article as well as the voting page directly. Feel free to vote anywhere else you choose, but make sure you put Hamill on top for voice.

NVIDIA Auctions $10,000+ Uber-Rig for Charity

Posted by Tim On November - 20 - 2009

For those of you who check KNM on a regular basis, you know that I really don’t post a lot of press releases. This site is (mostly) about game reviews and my ramblings. However, every once in a while something jumps out at me because of its awesomeness, and this is one of those times. NVIDIA has built a ri-dic-u-lous rig and are auctioning it off for charity as of the time I’m posting this, its up around $4,000 with only about 18 bids. The auction ends in 4 days (Monday night/Tuesday morning around Midnight) so if you’ve got some cash you wanted to donate to a good cause, get in there and throw some bids down. I’ve lost family members to cancer, and this is a plague that can’t be eradicated fast enough!

About Me

Yo I\'m Tim - I love playing games, writing, and giving opinions about games. Bet you probably could have guessed that, eh? I\'m currently studying towards a Game and Simulation Programming degree, hoping to finish by 2012. Its my dream to be in the game industry, doing AI or anything else, really. Meanwhile, I\'ll be here posting about the games I purchase and the games I\'m fortunate enough to be asked to review. If there\'s a game you want to see, drop me a line. Lastly, I’d like to drop a shout to those who\'ve inspired me somewhere along the way: GiantBomb.com, eat-sleep-game.com, cheapassgamer.com. These guys are some of the funniest and most interesting game podcast crews out there and I just want to say thanks for keeping us laughing.
