Epic's "Fate of Carmine" Campaign Raises $150,000 for Charity

Whether you voted to end the Carmine line, or Save Private Carmine, you and thousands of fellow Gears fans raised $150,000 for Child's Play according to Epic's Cliff Bleszinski. As for which fate was chosen for the latest Carmine, well, it looks like we won't be finding that out until Gears 3 is released next year.

I have some pictures of Cliff with the check, if I can get around to getting them off my camera, I will post here.

EDIT: I'm imagining things. I mean Gabe and Tycho with the check.

That sucks. I never knew about this. I would of voted save Carmine. After they way his little brothers went out I always imagined him to be like more bad ass than Fenix. Them trying to live up to his status and failed to cut it.

My avatar has been proudly sporting his Save Carmine shirt for a while, recently swapped back to my CoG armour.

It's worth mentioning that the shirts (both avatar and real) are still available for sale and the money will still benefit Child's Play. The only thing closed is the voting.

Have you seen C. Carmine? I don't think he needs any help.

I didn't mind that Tao died, I was pissed that he died in such a crappy manner though.

Shit, I kept forgetting to buy my shirt, too. Wonder if you still can, even if your "vote" doesn't count?

Yup, you can. Also, there's a Child's Play T-shirt. Cool.

My avatar proudly supports his "Save Carmine" shirt. The Carmine brothers have always been my favorite.

Never knew they had a real person shirt.

I'm sure the masochistic populace will have ensured Carmine's death. I'm happy to have contributed to the Child's Play total with my shirt supporting him returning home safely.
