Desert Bus Will Return!

Posted by: Paul

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that the Desert Bus for Hope marathon will definitly be returning in 2008! We are still getting the details worked out, but trust me when I say that this year’s event is going to be bigger and better then ever before. And if you took part last year, either by donating or just cheering us on via our live feed, you know that that is a pretty tall order.

Stay tuned as we will hopefully have more details soon!

  1. Hopefully, we may see James get either a chance to break his record of Longest time played, or he gets a bye for this year and we make Morgan do 8 hour shifts.

    But anyway, I can’t wait, I’ll be watching the whole time.

  2. Oh you better believe I will behind the wheel again this year. I have to remain the top most hours played of the shitty shitty game!

  3. I just updated the Wikipedia article on Desert Bus. By the time this is over, they’ll be screaming over there to remove/condense/move the information, giving us enough momentum for our own article.

    Our wiki is better though.

  4. Desert Bus 2 is going to be awesome, because I’m trusting you saying that it’s going to be awesome, so lets hope for awesome!

  5. Are you guys gonna want us to start coming up with things to do and send in for DB2?

  6. I’ll definitely try to come and support you guys at some point in person this time. I said I was going to last year, and ended up not being able to. But this time, I’ll make sure I can sometime.

  7. Perhaps Bag Fries could put a concert on in the background while you play.

  8. I might be over here in Japan. But I shall continue to support you. And am ready to keep you guys playing a bit longer.

  9. I can’t wait. Are you guys counting on breaking your record for donations?

  10. I’m eagerly awaiting the start of the next marathon! Good luck though, ’cause I’m sure you’ll have no problem topping last year’s total.

  11. I’ll have it on whenever I am at work on my laptop. Which is great as I work for 12 hours on Saturdays.

  12. I just saw the announcement that you guys are doing it again-I really could not be happier right now. The almost innumerable hours I spent with you guys in that chat and watching you playing the game was some of the most fun I can remember having on the internet, and I can’t wait to do it again. I promise, i’ll be there.

  13. Do you guys have a more precise date for the start of Desert Bus II yet?

    Really looking forward to this year and donating more money. Same charity or different?

    By James - October 14th, 2008 3:58 pm
  14. I spent a few hours in the chat with you guys last year, it was good fun.

    I’ll definitely be back, and maybe I could scrounge up some money this time ;D

  15. Are you guys gonna do it this year? only a few months left I love the desert bus! (not the game the people who play it) I was with the chat room for a long time over the days of the last run

  16. Desertbus is most boring game on the world ;x

  17. Still doing this for 2008?

    By Tara J. - November 5th, 2008 2:02 am
  18. Ahhh, I can’t wait! I’m super excited. I looked at the calendar this morning and went “November… November… Desert Bus is in November!” I’m so glad I haven’t missed anything yet. I had a ton of fun in the chat and watching you all last year and I look forward to the same this year!

    And I should be able to donate some this year, even. :]

  21. Oh, man, I watched as much as possible of the last run, and I will do the same for this one. This is going to be awesome.

    By Chamelaeon - November 7th, 2008 3:35 pm
  22. I have to agree with whomever said watching the Desert Bus marathon and participating in the chat was as much fun as I’ve ever had on the internet. I plan to at least double my donation this year – if not much more. I’m assuming it’s still going to Child’s Play, right? I hope so!

    By Kenny - November 7th, 2008 4:43 pm
  23. Last year was the first time I donated to Child’s Play, and it was due to you guys and Desert Bus. I plan on doing the same thing again this year (and again, most likely wouldn’t if there were no sick, sadistic sense of satisfaction from contributing to your virtual misery).

    You guys rock!

    By Christian - November 9th, 2008 11:14 am
  24. Can’t wait to see how much we can make you guys suffer this time around! :D

    By Firefury Amahira - November 9th, 2008 4:31 pm
  25. I wonder if I can get James to play upside down again!

    By Linis - November 11th, 2008 11:07 pm
  26. Hey, cant wait for this year’s desert bus. Will be MORE than happy to promote the event. When were you planning to do it?

    By StrictlySega - November 12th, 2008 9:42 pm
  27. Come on! It’s been a full year already. Don’t torture us.

    By Tentacle Mplod - November 17th, 2008 1:43 am
  28. I can’t wait to donate to the Bus this year! An amazing idea and you guys deserve more credit and fame for sure.
