DesertBus 2014 is now in progress, http://desertbus.org/
My friends from the Loading Ready Run sketch comedy troupe in Victoria are playing the most boring video game ever made (Penn & Teller’s DesertBus*) to raise money for the Child’s Play charity. They will keep driving the DesertBus 24/7 for as long as people donate to the charity. While they are driving the bus, they hold auctions, do skits and songs for donations, and accept challenges to do hilarious and/or embarrassing things for donations.
The volunteer drivers have over 160 hours to drive the DesertBus (keep them driving by donating, the more money raised, the longer they are tortured by having to play the worst-game-in-the-world.)
DesertBus for Hope has passed $400,000 on this years campaign so far, and have raised over 2 million for charity since 2007
Tune in and support the gang and the Child’s Play charity, which provides toys and games to children who are seriously ill and in hospital.
* Developed by comedians Penn and Teller, the “anti-game” DesertBus is a first-person driving game, where you drive a bus from Tuscon to Las Vegas, in real time. The road is dead straight, and — nothing happens. Then when you reach Las Vegas 4.5 hours later, you —turn around and go back. The bus’ steering is defective, so if you don’t pay attention it will veer off the road and crash. At which point a tow truck is dispatched to tow you back — in real time.
Here’s an article from last year in the New Yorker about their effort http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/desert-bus-the-very-worst-video-game-ever-created
