So, many of you probably know that, when were are not playing a stupid video game for charity, LoadingReadyRun is an Internet sketch comedy troop. We have been releasing a new video every week, without fail, for the last four years. Even though everyone was very tired from all the busing, there is no way we were going to break our streak.

So we are pleased to present:

Just when you thought desert bus was done and over with, we do this!!!

Tomorrow night at 7:30 PST, Graham, Paul, Bill, Morgan, Matt, Jer and Myself will be jumping back on the webcam to conduct one last hour of live desert bus fun. We will be giving out huge thanks to all that deserve, recalling some of the more insane moments and making Morgan drive just one more hour!! The chat will be open to all. So clear your evening. Should be a lot of fun.

As of 6:35am PST, the Desert Bus for Hope stopped!!! THANK GOD!

In the end we ended up raising $22,805. Nothing in this world could have prepared us for this kind of support. Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement, the donations, the food, and thanks to all that stayed up countless hours to keep us entertained in the chat. This would have not been possible if it wasn’t for you guys.

Also just a huge thanks to everyone out there that was kind enough to throw us a link, give us a radio/tv interviews and just for telling a friend. And on top of all these people a huge thanks needs to go out to Penn and Teller. It is safe to say that your support kept us going at 3:30 in the morning, knowing a phone call could be a matter of hours away from you guys was always a HUGE moral boost. Thanks so much for the support and the food. You guys are fantastic.

We are looking into maybe doing a quick live video re-cap of the event on Thursday night, more information to follow.

Good freaking lord…21,000

James here guys. I haven’t been the one to update since i think the 1000.00 dollar mark, which now seems like months ago I cannot begin to say how much this means to all of us. When i first started to think last year about getting the guys together and raising some money for Child’s Play, I was thinking a couple hundred bucks would be awesome. And now here we are almost a year later, and we have raised 21,000 dollars. You guys are pretty much the best group of people in the world. Thanks for your support and keep staying up with us for as long as you can.

TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

(We’ve been saving Tensen’s 20K graphic since 15K.)

WOW.
Words… failing…

We have QUADRUPLED our goal. We don’t know what to say… what CAN we say?

Thank you.

Okay, I JUST posted for 18K

The total keeps increasing faster than we can handle!
Look! The chatroom only had time to make one graphic this time!

The home stretch (we secretly hope)

Great fanart, or the Greatest Fanart?

Guys, check out this awesome picture of the LRR rockin’ the Desert Bus from our new friend Zack of Pixelated Pupils.

Click picture for large size.

In other astounding news: $17,000 everybody!

Generosity = Spite?

We have now hit the 16K mark… which worries me because I think it means that the upper conceivable limit of 20,000 is an actual possibility.
If nothing else, we have a great graphic if it happens.

Just remember, donations close when we run out of hours, so donate now!
