GameStop, the popular video game and technology vendor, announced in a press release Monday that will partner with autism awareness group Autism Speaks for the month of April. @GameStop partners with Autism Speaks for Autism Awareness Month >> https://t.co/4FYlX3SkOQ #LIUB pic.twitter.com/1azOaAHGS1 — Autism Speaks (@autismspeaks) March 22, 2016 During Autism Awareness Month in April, customers at GameStop Corp.’s retail stores GameStop, ThinkGeek, Simply Mac, Cricket Wireless, and Spring Mobile AT&T will have the opportunity to donate directly to Autism Speaks during checkout. Specialized in-store promotions will support the effort, as well as outreach programs via GameStop’s online and mobile platform Kongregate and its magazine Game Informer. This is the first time GameStop has partnered with Autism Speaks, but both entities seem optimistic. GameStop vice president of public investor relations Matt Hodges mentioned the use of technology as aids for those affected by autism. “Many of our associates and customers have shared how the video game and technology products we sell have helped them have a meaningful relationship with their child who has autism,” Hodges said. “We look forward to a successful campaign and helping those families impacted by autism.” Autism Speaks Vice President of Corporate Development Peter Morton added that the organization is grateful for the partnership. “We are thrilled to see the world of gaming and technology embrace autism,” he said. GameStop’s promotion for Autism Awareness Month isn’t the first time a video game company has raised awareness for autism. Earlier this year, Autism Speaks introduced a partnership with Activision to produce special Skylanders toys and their digital counterparts in white and blue, the colors of Autism Speaks. In January, Akili Entertainment Labs, Inc., a Boston-based video game producer, announced that it had raised $30.5 million to fund Project: EVO, a game aimed at helping individuals affected by ADHD, autism, depression, and traumatic brain injury. GameStop customers who donate $1 or more to Autism Speaks will also receive triple PowerUp Rewards points based on the donation amount. All proceeds will go to Autism Speaks’ Family Services iPad Grant program. The program provides iPads to financially disadvantaged individuals affected by autism, which allow individuals on the autism spectrum to more effectively learn and communicate via non-stressful and non-judgmental apps. Since 2012, Autism Speaks has donated more than 4,000 iPads to individuals across the country. The funds not used to purchase iPads will be used for medical research, Autism Speaks said. This partnership with Autism Speaks marks yet another charity association for GameStop, which has in the past partnered with and raised money for organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, St.

Audio Spoilercast of season 6 at the bottom Venture fans have been waiting for three years, give or take a special, for a new season of Venture Bros. This past January, we were given just that in a new 8-episode season. A new city, a new Guild and what seemed like endless possibilities for the characters we’ve already grown to love. While this season matched the tone and humor we’ve come to expect, the story fell short of the expectations of the fans and the creators, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.
