We had a challenge to draw a Desert Bus crew member as their WOW avatar! Here’s the submissions. Some are more disturbing than others…

Translated lovingly from Norwegian to English!

And the winner!

A turn of phrase Kathleen came up with spawned some hilarious and disturbing art… Remember kids, cruelty to animals just doesn’t float our boat!

Well, we’ve had a very eventful night – we broke our all time record donation with an amazing $1375 donation by this dude named Octopimp, who is apparently Chuck Norris, the Easter Bunny and Damon Albarn (what? I think Blur is super keen!) all in one – he bid on a fantastic super rare, ultra limited edition Star Wars print by Ken Stacey (FYI the original was purchased by George Lucas!). We also sold an incredible original commission of Okami artwork (for the bargin  price of $500), and two signed comic books. Ken is made of win.

Anyhow, we got a bunch of amazing graphics, wrote haikus to honour Octopimp (who’s actually too cool for us), and received an incredible remix of Graham’s rendition of “Re: Your brains” as done as Billy Mays (RIP).

We’ve gotten a ton of pictures for milestones, but we’ve also gotten some pictures that aren’t milestone related, but are awesome! My fav is the animated caramel dancing gif…

All around awesome dude, RogerExplosion has made a java version of Desert Bus for you to play in your browser. Check it out at:

Windows users will probably need to grab the latest Java Runtime

Don’t blame us if it isn’t very fun. It isn’t supposed to be.

Somewhat unrelated, but this bizarre-possibly-gta-mod-looking game was just posted to Destructoid. Given that it pretty much encompasses what Desert Bus would look like today, I’m posting it for you.

Yes, it’s true! #DesertBus beat New Moon on Twitter’s trending topics, and our viewers drew these to celebrate!

Keep using the #DesertBus hashtag, and let’s see if we can trend tomorrow during peak traffic!
