congrats on the penny arcade link!!!

also these was a comment from someone named "teller" not sure if its real or just a random being silly:

Thanks so much. You would have made our late collaborator on this project, Barry Marx, so proud and happy.

I’ll suggest our webmaster put a link to your site.

And I hope to check in with the drivers on their noble and grueling ordeal.


but if its real, fuck its going to be awesome!!!

You guys are my heroes, getting donations to play video games to give video games to those less privileged.

also a question: are you going to be making DVDs of this? if you do, you could give a percent to (the remains after - production cost) to child's play. Cause I would pay to watch you suffer (mind i would expect only highlights from it.

also I'm gonna miss the first hour and a half, so i would buy one, also i don't have and never will get a credit card, so i can donate through this way instead, assuming you accept checks etc.

Various ways. People are pretty forgiving of children's charities.
Also, each driver has 12 hours between shifts.

One question,

Postby Yankeedoodle » 23 Nov 2007, 18:45

I gots a question, where the hell did you find the console and the game, did you get it from a dumpster, or did come as gift from God, or did you already have it, hidden in a dark, dingy corner of your basement?

I hope you're recording all of the feeds.

I also hope you won't permit James to remove his clothing.

I noticed that the website calls this the 1st annual Desert Bus for Hope. Are you actually going to do this next year? If so, are you planning on playing Desert Bus again or will you find a new horrible game to suffer through?

A little late, but I just did some pimping for the site. Hopefully it'll bring in a few more dollars!!

Also, is the money listed in Canadian $ or American $ ? Just curious.

So really, all of you Americans are getting a good deal.

What with our dollar being worth more than yours and all.

Also, I know everyone probably has more important things to worry about, but I can't get the chat to work (using firefox) :(

Does it have to be the newest firefox? I have the old one.

I've been checking in on your guys every hour or two. Catch you tomorrow!
