I missed that. Noooo! Damn you time difference and daily obligations. And also: 58k already? Madness. |

Madness...? THIS IS DESERT BUS!! Hah... In all seriousness, there will supposedly be a gathering of game-playing fools tonight who will buy into a Smash Brothers Brawl tournament for charity, a charity to THIS charity. And between the get-you-in price plus the buy-you-into-rounds prices that I heard about, a fair chunk of change will probably be deposited upon the group. It begins around 8-ish EST, and will progress into the night. Don't say I didn't warn you. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 160 Joined: 6 Jun 2009     | This is wonderful. The cause is good and the livefeed is far more entertaining than I thought. Pity I'm a poor student, but you can buy a lot of crayons for 5USD, so.. Well done by the Escapist of featuring this. |
Web Developer  Posts: 1009 Joined: 6 Jun 2007   | Safety Dance followed by The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: it's a good evening to watch the feed. Plus, under 2k to breaking last year's donation amount! Go bus, go! |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2221 Joined: 23 Dec 2007    | Just put $80 in woot! Thank god I don't know the conversion rates. Then I might not have donated. |

When they run out of money, you see on the feed how it say's so many hours/so many hours, the second number is how many hours the donations have paid for, the first number is how long its been going so far. The first bus crashed this afternoon, so were on bus 2 atm. |
