Team Fortress 2 has been running a charity drive for the recent Japan disasters in a unique manner.  Between March 23^rd and April 6^th, Valve is selling three hats and two noisemakers in TF2’s in-game store with all proceeds from them going to support the Red Cross’s efforts in Japan.

Who would buy such a thing?  Well, I would for one.  On March 29^th, Valve noted that they had sold $300,000 USD worth of these items.

For reference, the items being sold are:

• Humanitarian’s Hachimaki – 7.49 USD
• Benefactor’s Kanmuri – 19.99 USD
• Bell Noisemaker – 1.99 USD
• Gong Noisemaker – 0.49 USD
• Japan Charity Bundle – 29.96 USD, including all of the above
• Magnanimous Monarch – 99.99 USD

You’ll see more articles from me down the line, likely about Team Fortress 2, with maybe a little World of Warcraft or Monday Night Combat thrown in.
