Title: Desert Bus For Hope

In case you haven't heard, these guys are going on a gaming marathon for Child's Play. They're playing a game called Desert Bus which is pretty much designed to be boring and tortuous. They made 27000 dollars last year, and they've made 18000 this year.

i think the game it's self is hilarious. in Penn's own words "i think a bug hits the windshield at like the eighth hour or something."

The bus has finally stopped, after 125 hours and approximately $69,476.00 raised.

Vast improvement over the previous year.  Can't imagine how they even manage to play it for anything more than 20 minutes without going mad, let alone 125 hours.

this seems oddly like something i would want to do...

monotonous tasks are the best time to get thinking about life the universe and everything don'tcha know.
