QWOP Contest Winner!

Posted by: KingKool

QWOP has taken the Desert Bus by storm with its well-meaning but incredibly clumsy athlete. We solicited many fanarts from QWOP, but this one from Victoria (not the city, that’s her name) was declared the winner. She wins an Escapist prize pack and buttons.

Here are the runner-ups.

Sponsor Showcase: Capcom

Posted by: kathleen

If you’ve never played a Capcom game, it’s quite likely you’ve never played any games at all. This beloved company has one of the largest collection of franchises in the gaming pantheon, including Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Breath of Fire, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Dead Rising, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil, Marvel vs. Capcom, Megaman and MOST IMPORTANTLY Resident Evil and Dead Rising, which they’ve sent us two really awesome prize packs for! If there isn’t one series list here you love, then you have a heart of stone. That’s right. We said it.

Check out Capcom at www.capcom.com

Guest Call: Markus ‘Notch’ Persson

Posted by: Matt

There’s probably not a lot I can write here about Notch that you don’t already know. He made Minecraft. He’s making Scrolls. He founded the Mojang AB game studio. He called into Desert Bus last year. He’s an awesome dude.

If you care to laud his work on Minecraft, or find out what it’s like to have made one of the most successful indie games of recent memory, if not all time, your chance is now!
