Crashes: 4On vacation in South America, Paul was bitten by a radioactive sloth. He gained the proportional laziness of a sloth but has pledged to use his powers only to help those in need. Upon further investigation, it is possible that the sloth wasn’t actually radioactive, in which case, the laziness was inside him all along!

Driving down from Nanaimo to bring cookies to my friends that were doing this crazy thing in their living room. Not wanting to leave and then watching the stream on my phone as my wife drove me back home late that night.

Alex is composed of a lightweight magnesium chassis driven by linear actuators and is protected by 22mm of chobham armor. At least he would be if that design wasn’t scrapped in favour of tin and rubber bands.

Hi! I’m Jamie Dillion; I’m a consultant and streamer, in my second year of driving the Desert Bus! I love video games, naps, and snacks. I’m a bit clumsy and a crybaby sometimes… but, I’m actually an agent of love and justice, Pretty Guardian Sailor Jam! In the name of the Moon, I’ll stay up all night driving a bus; dancing, singing, goofing, and raising money for the kids!

One day a meteor from a far off planet fell into a vat of toxic chemicals that was being blasted by gamma-rays. The chemicals splashed onto a genetically mutated spider from Krypton whose parents had been murdered in an alley and thus, Ash Vickers came to be.

… There was also a giant bear in there somewhere.

Graham texted me during DB1 telling me I should come home (I was living at the DB1 location at the time) and hang out on a live camera feed while they played a video game about driving a bus. It sounded boring to me, so I stayed at my friend’s house and played WoW until they were done. 😛

Raised in the wilds of the Sunshine Coast, Ashley was bestowed the ability to perfectly size and weight a package by sight alone. She makes use of this unnatural ability exactly 7 days a year. Kinda a waste if you ask me.
