Watching these guys torture themselves is pretty funny. They've been doing this for hours and Kathleen just was like, "Wow this game really sucks."

Morgan has to say "For the children" after everything.

It's pretty funny.

Best way to fundraise ever.

Also, yeah, they're pretty funny.

I think it's fantastic they've already broke last years donation total before they were even halfway through.

People like to see others tortured.

Over $48,000 dollars now, with at least 44 hours left to go. I chipped in $5 myself.

...I can't seem to discover what exactly this is.

Synopsis?

If you've ever played Desert Bus, it's basically a game that you drive on the road for four hours and gain a point. Drive another four hours, gain a point. All in all, a real life bus simulator:

With no traffic...

nor any great scenery to look at. Oh, and the bus tilts to the left so that you can't just hold down the A, B, X, Q, whatever button to play.

Thanks.

They are doing nothing but playing this game continuously?

...

*donates*

The game is a part of a bundle of practical joke games, but it's by far the most famous.

They did this last year and it's awesome to just watch them play it. Morgan's donned an eyepatch and pretended to be Big Boss for a while.

Kathleen's new hairdo is incredibly hot.

I find it amazing that I went to work and they were at the 25k mark (I think 27k?) and when I come back they've almost doubled it. Holy crap.

Mike McC · 12-02-2008, 07:16 AM

Well, part of the reason it doubled was due to Penny Arcade saying they'd double any donations up to $10,000 starting about the $25,000 mark. They raised the $10,000 in about 8 hours.

Oh, in case you didn't know, the proceeds from this go to Child's Play.
