We have some new silent auctions going now. Check them out and try your hand!
First off we have a Stained Glass Hylian Shield.
Made by hand, this stained glass shield is ready to adorn your wall or window!
It’s already up to $2,450 but you could still have a shot at it! It’s going until 6:00pm PST.
Next there’s The Sword of Fire and Ice, and the Sword of Light and Shadow, two swords from Magic the Gathering. While not legally playable, they are definitely worth keeping on your shelf or pulling out in case someone tries to cast some spells at your face. Unless they’re green spells, then you’re on your own.
These are also over $2,000!
Auction ends at 6:00pm PST.
And last, we have an Attack on Titan anthology hardcover, signed by two of the voice actors from the animated series, Mathew Mercer (Levi) and Josh Grelle (Armin)! We gave away one in a donation drive earlier in the run, but here’s a second shot in case you missed out.
It’s currently at a little over $500, so get out there and bid! BIID! Ends at 6:00pm PST.
We’d like to extend a thank you to a new sponsor this year at Desert Bus for Hope.

Paul and Storm will be calling in to Desert Bus on November 20th at 1:00pm (PST)
Paul and Storm (Paul Sabourin and Greg “Storm” DiCostanzo) are known internationally and across the Internet for their original comedy music (often with a “nerd-ish” bent). In addition to their own live performances, they are co-founders of the geek-oriented variety show w00tstock, along with Wil Wheaton and Adam Savage, and co-produce JoCo Cruise. The duo’s original webseries musical, “LearningTown“, debuted on YouTube’s Geek & Sundry channel in January 2013. Also in 2013, their song “Another Irish Drinking Song” was featured in the hit movie Despicable Me 2, and in July had their guitar smashed on stage by George R. R. Martin (and deserved it). Their fifth full-length CD, Ball Pit, came out in 2014, and was the central item of the duo’s wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. They are staff writers for, and contributed numerous songs to, the rebooted season of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Do you have a Question for Paul and Storm? Post it in the comments below!
Look at these three beauties! These legendary creatures – Kaalia of the Vast; Derevi, Empyrial Tactician; and Meren of Clan Nel Toth- have been carefully painted by hand over the original cards to showcase the original art in all it’s glory.
Donate $7.93, or multiples thereof, until 11:25am PST to get a chance at these three.
Since the name, converted mana cost, and power/toughness of the cards are still visible, they should be legal for tournament play. However it’s important to remember that the legality of alters for tournament play is always at the discretion of the head judge.
Driving: Monday, Nov 20th 10am – 10pm

We held a late night live auction for this fabulous Breath of the Wild cross-stitch picture, which sold for a whopping $6,665!
Engineering starts playing music at weird speeds and things get weird quickly:
Bengineering gets fed up and goes home (briefly). Jordan… err, I mean Creepy Ben… tries to take the helm:
Beej runs a trivia challenge – based on the name and an image, could you show this anime to your parents?
And finally, everyone tried their hand at dancing, Cam-style:
