EA has pledged to help the victims following the shooting at last Sunday's Madden NFL tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, and they're hoping the gaming community pulls together to do the same. The company has set up the "Jacksonville Tribute," which is a fund designed to help the families affected by the Jacksonville shooting and has pledged a massive $1 million to kick things off. Fans will be encouraged to donate to the cause to help the families of the two pro players slain in the shooting, Taylor Robertson and Elijah Clayton, as well as the 10 others who sustained injury following the event.

I started out as a loyal reader of Geektyrant before emailing Joey one day about the potential of writing for Geektyrant. Now six years later I'm the managing editor of Gametyrant.com and still living the dream and giving my opinion to the geek masses! Geektyrant is my life, and I hope that shows in everything I do!
