...wait. I never saw a screen like this with all the achievements listed. Did you make this? Am I completely daft?

Go to the "My Challenges" page. All challenges that aren't seen are wiped when they clear challenges, and all accepted or denied challenges stay

Unfortunately, I blacked out sometime before the poster auction last night, but after Notch's auction. I remember going to sleep, but nothing before that. Slept for 13 hours, the longest I've slept in weeks. My sleep deprivation this week was totally worth it, though.

So many feels this DB... just... holy shit. I don't even have words. Just... thank you all. You're good people. Every last one of you.

The challenge for Cam to read from Night Vale got me to listen to Night Vale. I'm liking it so far.

QWERPline and Gay Bar just completely broke me. Like, I've rewatched QWERPline 2, 3 times now? And I still lose it at ASS the Musical.

And now comes the post-desertbus sadness. I there's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by sitting in a chatroom with 2000 other people watching a couple dozen others torturing themselves for the children. Ah well, I guess I'll have to do with 400-ish people and podcasts.

QWERPline still breaks me every time I watch it. Especially once Alex falls out of the chair, because eventually you get to a point where watching them lose it is hilarious enough on its own.

I think part of why it's so funny is the slight emphasis change - it's like you can hear the all caps.

Yeah, it's the same reason why watching the Whose Line guys lose their shit is what can push a scene from good or great to out of the park.

Yeah, I haven't really been able to figure out how to type it yet. I think *ASS* might be enough. It's really hard to get tonal shifts into text

I added the on the blog part but the rest is the standard challenge screen but its a little hidden.

First log in, then hover over your name to the right of the DB7 Logo, the third drop down menu is "my challenges"

There is a similar thing on the ap, if you log in, then go to the menu bar and select "my desert bus" followed by the selector at the top of the screen and select my challenges.

the awesomeness is rivaled only by the blurriness

[KyrieEleison]

You mean there's an app? How have I not heard of this?

(Alternatively: Drink!)

[Wolfwood723]

There's an app....are you sure?

*Checks on my Samsung Galaxy*

I don't know of this app you speak of.

[AdmiralMemo]

I got my Joe Vollan playmat.

Just waiting on the 3 other things now.

For all the insane spamming that Chat did of my post, and the trouble that caused, my song challenge is still awesome.

I'm still amused by Graham's "How do you have any money left?" after I doubled my donation.

[Dix]

Finally. XD I've been trying for over a day to get Dashton performed. I think it went alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emdr6IcJq5w

[rhiannonE]

I may have dreamed it, sleep time duting Desert Dus is not that great, but there was another news team. Does anyone have the video?

[Thysane]

I missed the entirety of this year's desert bus, so I'm going through all the highlights in order whenever I get some free time. I just got to Alex's real-talk during his shift. WHY WAS I NOT WARNED OF THIS. The feels, man.

[Lord Hosk]

Im watching all the stuff I missed.

I think Alex needs to be limited to 12 hours in the moonbase, he went CRAZY.

like the joker crazy.

[plummeting_sloth]

It was a blast and a privilege folks. Now to pick up my yearly ritual of watching the whole thing through again on my own time and catching all the stuff I missed. Although, I'm afraid most of those gifs flooding the chat will now be permanently part of the aether

Seems normal to me.

You say that like it's a BAD thing.


Yeah, spend one week trying to watch some of Desert Bus, and then spend the other fifty-one catching up on all the stuff that got missed due to silly things like 'work' and 'sleep'...

[Lord Hosk]

Man do I have some ideas! I cant wait for the survey to come out so I can tell them everything they did wrong, in their seventh run which raises half a million dollars

Well, the main issue is when the people I'm watching on the stream are commenting about things that I now know I will never, ever see! But, yeah, as personal little Desert Bus does good story, I've taken up exercising while I'm working my way through watching all of DB again. I've done it 3 years now and while it of course ends after I finish it in a few months or so, I still tend to be in a lot better shape over the holidays than I usually am because of it

It's already up. I suggested a page that tracks any current donation drive or challenges, what you have tod do to get, and how long you have, so that way if they forget to mention it, people can still find that info out. Also, there was too much bussing crosstalk.

[plummeting_sloth]

I suggested that I be allowed to win more giveaways. Three years guys and you still haven't taken me up on that one!

Pff, I've been watching since Desert Bus 3, and I still haven't won anything either.

(Well, I did manage to get a Steam code for a game I actually wanted from the chat this year, so that kind of counts.)

[plummeting_sloth]

ah, you quick code imputers you. I got beat to mime

[iamafish]

I won a thing, I was shocked. Wasn't expecting to and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it...

[JackSlack]

Auction it on the forums, donate the money to Child's Play?

Also: So, I also won a thing; namely the right to come up with ten phrases or words for a mobile game called Let's Quip. (Which I think should be named Quip It, but fine, whatever.) It is entirely my intention to fill those spots with LRR or Desert Bus in jokes.

So apart from 'Hat Stats', what should be in there? "Creepy Doll"? "Damn it, Steve"? "... in England"?

[Fenrir]

First off....you all are absolutely amazing. All the people involved in Desert Bus, everyone who I got to chat with in the IRC - all of you. Absolutely bloody amazing and I have the utmost respect for everyone involved in Desert Bus now. More so than I did previously.

Secondly....I had this idea. One I'd kind of been cooking up since DB6 that I thought might be a "fun" challenge for anyone wanting to raise money to go toward DB and/or just Child's Play in general. Haven't worked out all the details yet so I thought I'd throw it out there and see what people thought.

Ok, so, we all know how the guys *technically* aren't supposed to swear on stream and have to say "bus" instead, right? Well....what if that was a year long thing. What if, for one year, you couldn't swear and instead had to sub it for "bus"?

Think of it like a year long DB Swear Jar. Any time you swore, you'd put a set amount, and then at the end of each month you'd put in a set amount of your choosing based on....something. I don't know. I apologize for the train of thought post but I just wanted to put this out there....

Thoughts?
