After five days and 16 hours of playing the world's most boring game, the
Desert Bus for Hope crew has reached its final stop for the year, bringing in a staggering $132,392.94 to benefit the
Child's Play charity. With the third iteration of its annual marathon play session of "Desert Bus" -- a mini-game from the unreleased
Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors -- comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun raised nearly $110,000 more than its first year. If you want to see just how brutal the experience was, you can try the game for yourself
right here.
It's just the latest piece in a long line of evidence proving that a bunch of good-hearted gamers and Canadians with a brutal, masochistic streak can accomplish just about anything. Congrats, everybody.

Fantastic job guys. It's good to know that there are people out there that care for the world's children.

That is $132,392.94 more than Joystiq raised. Won't someone at Joystiq please think of the children!

Joystiq does think of the children, just in more of a 'Bad Nanny' kind of way.
