On November 19th at 9PM EST, the members of LoadingReadyRun begin their 4th annual Desert Bus for Hope, an epic videogame marathon and variety show benefitting Child's Play. LoadingReadyRun will continue to play "Desert Bus," considered by many as the most boring game ever, as long as contributions are made. As an added bonus, for every Publisher's Club membership purchased this weekend, The Escapist will donate $10!

The Escapist is also hosting the mini-game "Dessert Bus" where viewers can donate money to Child's Play by purchasing virtual pies to throw at the LoadingReadyRun cast, with Pub Club members receiving 20 additional pies for free with their first pie purchase. The "winning" cast member will take a real pie to the face during the live broadcast.

Please benefit Child's Play by making a donation. To join the live event chat, click here.

About Child's Play
Child's Play was created in 2003 by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade to get games, toys and cash to improve the quality of life for kids around the world who are undergoing treatment in hospitals. Many of the gifts donated are age appropriate videogames and gaming systems, along with coloring books, art supplies, crafts, movies, and cartoons. Child's Play is a registered 501(c)(3) charity.
