Mama-Mia, That's-a Big-a Mario!

This reminds me of when I was younger and tried to make Lego versions of a lot of my favorite game characters... and failed horribly.

Anyways, the Lego Mario above stands at 6 feet tall and weighs roughly 110 pounds.

Some of you out there might be wondering, "Why would someone build that?" Oddly enough, "too much free time" is not the answer in this case. It's for a Dutch Ronald McDonald Foundation and is up for auction.

So, if you've got a few grand lying around and have always wanted a giant Mario, then bid quickly!

Mega-Marathon

Right now, the charity fund raising group, The Speed Gamers are doing a live marathon of all the Mega Man games to raise money for The Earth Day Network.

If you'd like to fallow the live stream, you can watch it right here

*Correction*: It's not starting until 6 pm Central time, which means it's 7 for me
