Desert Bus for Hope has come again, in its seventh edition! So it's James Bond themed.

For those not in the know, Desert Bus For Hope 7: The Man with the Golden Bus is a video game telethon, featuring the most boring game ever: Desert Bus. Here, let Graham Stark, one of the organizers, explain it.

Here are the silent auction lots.

Here are the live auction lots.

If you don't have any money, or you're planning on donating for challenges, there are giveaways! Generally given to the winners of special contests open to the viewers, like drawing or story contest, or sometimes they raffle away prizes to people who donate a certain multiples of a specific sum.

So, do you participate? What is your chat name? What is your preferred challenge genre?

Highlights of DB007:Moonbaser so far:

Auctioned off the DuckTales Remastered Lunch Box with special gold cartridge of the original Duck Tales: Sold for 3.5K$, after the winning bidder outbid himself twice (what's known as a Space Bid).

    Amazed that they havn't crashed the bus yet, but the chat server is making up for it by dying horribly.

    lack of sleep for the children.

    I downloaded the Speech Jammer app to try it for myself and could not handle it. Kept cracking up laughing trying to read an instruction manual.

    This sucks. I hate that I can't watch due to my internet being out. Only way I can be on the internet is because I've got my phone personal hotspotting for my laptop, and if I tried to watch DB I'd blow through my data plan.

    Do you know they have an Iphone app? :wiggles:

    EDIT: Does anyone know when the crew sung "The Real Folk Blues"? I challenged them but I didn't get to see it yet. I asked the Video Strike Team, and they asked for the time.

    So Notch just bid $2k in a live auction on a silica gel pouch QWOPtion.

    Wait, no, he just space-bid himself for $10k when they tossed in a scarf to wrap the gel in.

    And IRC exploded.

    I feel like the only way to properly watch that gif is to listen to the Liberty Bell March at the same time for Monty Python related purposes.

    https://www.humblebundle.com/ just added Desert Bus to the list of games you receive when you pay more than the average! A little late to join in this year, but figured I'd mention it.

    Oh man there is a thread on here for DB. Hey guys, I was kind of ignoring place this while DesertBus was on. Anyway, it was a great time.
