Can something still be considered a game if you know you're going to lose? That's the exact question the brave crew of the Desert Bus for Hope will have to answer as it sets off on its third annual excursion tomorrow. As they play the Desert Bus mini-game from Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors for days on end to raise money for Child's Play, sick kids will win, we the viewers of their live video stream will win, but the bleary-eyed LoadingReadyRun driving team will absolutely, positively lose.
If you'd like to help their sacrifice not be in vain (while at the same time prolonging it), you can donate on their homepage.
[Thanks, Koehler83]

Desert Bus has been fantastic to watch for the past couple of years, I can't wait to see what goes on this time.

Oh, and btw, this is a really good cause. I remember them raising a lot of money last year, and you know, the money goes to the people that need it most.

Desert Bus for Hope is an excellent event. They raised over $70,000 last year. Who knows how much they'll raise this time! I just with that I had a job right now so that I could donate more money :(

Uh, the game is actually one of the worst torture devices I've ever seen. >_>
One of the main reasons this event is popular is because we see people torturing themselves for the greater good.
Just, uh, pointing that out. ('_')/
