DESERT BUS FOR HOPE 11: WE STILL DOIN THIS SO GET IN HERE
You thought it would end at 10?
you were a fool.
The ELEVENTH Desert Bus for Hope kicks off this Friday, November 17th at 10AM PDT, and we about to raise so much effing money for charity whether you like it or not. By now, you know the drill. But if somehow you a total scrub, let mah boi Graham give you the low key diss:
Get in here and donate. Challenge these fools to do dumb things or talk some smack about fellow Icrontians. Drink. Watch. Laugh. Get banned for hating on Dix. Make a new account and get banned again. See if you can break Graham.
But seriously, look what happens when you break Graham, courtesy of @cola
Did they fix that little loophole of impropriety? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
So grab your wallet, grab some brews or whisk, join us on Twitch (or if you got gud, join us on @UPSKingpin dope AF dashboard here: http://www.whaledong.com/ (And that's a legit website. If you don't know, NOW YOU KNOW. DESERT BUS IS AN EFFING PARTY, BRO!)) and get ready to watch a room full of people torture themselves for a week straight. All for the children!
Want to win a thing? Check out the list here: https://desertbus.org/prizes
Want to donate just because? Do the deed here: https://desertbus.org/donate
Want to get banned? Talk smack about Dix and/or Liz!
Want to pick a waifu? Well too late, because if you know, you know.
I just bought a bottle of whiskey tonight. I'll be damned if it survives to day two. Do you have that kind of resolve? I've been bussin' for eleven years. I was bussin' before your mamma was born. I was bussin' before and after @Canti invented MSPaint. Come at me. Get on the discord channel and GIT GUD.

Literally no one thought that.
Also, RIP Tally and Jer
Reposting this from last year - bold predictions made for this year's Desert Bus:
I wonder if I'll win something again this year
My prediction: I'll finally start liking Desert Bus and I'll eagerly watch the stream all week with Bobby!
jk I'm a desert bus widow, who wants to hang out next week

15 hours to launch, Leelee still a cute.
There's now a discord voice channel: "Dessert Bust for Nope".
You know where to find me tomorrow morning.
Well gents, I'll be missing opening day but this weekend is a go.
RealTalk - What's the appeal here? @UPSLynx why do you love this soooo much? I've tried to watch in previous years only briefly and it didn't really do anything for me. What am I missing that sets this telethon above your annual PBS pledge drive?
I dunno man, there's no secret sauce to enjoying this. You like it or you don't. Tons of people go nuts and watch the Awesome Games Done Quick charity fundraiser for a week long and have a blast doing it. I personally don't enjoy that one at all, and would much rather watch a comedy group do Desert Bus. Different strokes I suppose.
I guess the main point for me is that this isn't actually about Desert Bus. The game doesn't matter one bit. I don't even watch the gameplay. For me, the appealing and entertaining hook for DB For Hope is the live fishbowl of people that spend a week doing improv, silly dances, competitions, and everything in between for a giant charity drive.
It probably helps that I'm a fan of Loading Ready Run in general (the comedy group that runs DB for hope). I was fans of them before the first DB, and it was a large part of why I tuned in that first year. But knowing LRR isn't a prerequisite to enjoy this, especially considering a vast majority of the Icrontians that participate in DBfH each year didn't know anything about LRR before they got into the stream.
I will admit, however, that after all these years, there is a large amount of "culture" that's grown over the years. In-jokes, terminology, traditions and all that. If you know, you love it. If you don't, you might be confused by some of it.
What I truly love about it is that it's interactive. You can donate money and challenge the people to do things on the live stream. You can win super dope things in live auctions. There's a certain cultural zeitgeist that goes along with the whole thing, and you get to be a part of it. That's pretty sweet if you ask me. All the while you're raising money for a legit good cause.
I watch it for the plot.
Why does that one chick look SO much like @GnomeQueen ?
@Linc
So where is everyone? I'm sat in discord watching Bus playing Battlefront and ain't no one around. Ya'll actually bus'n or just saying you are?

You thought @cola had hit maximum bus? Not even close. Tonight, Cola rekt me so hard that it became recognized as a tradition.
"We don't know who keeps doing this" .... BS
They probably only know him as eatadickclown
I've had to change my donor account multiple times due to getting banned
Sure is Zeta shift this morning.

The key is that they don't know that Cola and I know each other. I claim deniability every time it happens, they think people are just punking me, especially since Cola has like 12 different user names.
Largest zeta shift auction just happened and it was insane. This live auction went on for like 10+ minutes and ended up at $6,665.
omg that Alex intro. Incredible.
@UPSLynx I decided to have a look through the official youtube channel for Desert Bus, they actually have the official videos for both of your last 2 small time callouts uploaded to the channel for all the rewatch
post em!
That time I dropped a $2,305 bid just to get the rush of feeling alive.
