Will Ferrell Challenges Video Gamers To Play With Him At SF's Twitch TV For Cancer Charities

(CBS SF) -- "Anchorman" Will Ferrell is offering video game fans a chance to play with him in San Francisco.

The comedian launched his "Super Mega Blast Max Game Challenger" this week on Indiegogo.

"The grand prize winner will receive air-fare for two, a half-eaten bag of Skittles and whatever other cool stuff we can scrape together," he said in a video announcing the contest.

All jokes aside, Ferrell is raising money for charities that help children with cancer. The winner will play with the star at Twitch TV offices in the city next month.

Part of the proceeds will go to donate games, which gets game publishers to donate new and used games to children battling cancer.
