Fire Hose Games is a game development studio in Cambridge, MA. They released their first game, Slam Bolt Scrappers in 2011. In 2013 they released Go Home Dinosaurs! for the PC and for the Ipad. Currently they are working on Let’s Quip, a competitive debate simulator, and Catlateral Damage, Chris Chung’s first person destructive cat simulator. Unlike other first person games, Catlateral Damage has you use two cat paws that you can use to swipe and knock things over with.

Thank you for coming along with us on this journey Fire Hose Games. We appreciate having you and your destructive cat along with us for the ride!

Oh my god.

Oh wow.

Thanks to everyone who has ever donated over eight years of Desert Bus, to all our volunteers, and to Child’s Play. YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!

Desert Bus wouldn’t exist without the Internet, and you can’t broadcast from multiple cameras without a strong Internet connection. We truly wouldn’t be able to make Desert Bus without the gracious support of Shaw Cable, our internet provider for the duration of the run. Founded in Edmonton, AB as Capital Cable Television Company in 1966, the Shaw Communications Company is a true Canadian success story; they now provide television, cable, and phone services for a huge chunk of the country and are the largest cable company in Canada. Thank you so much, Shaw, for literally giving us the means by which to bring Desert Bus to life.
