VIDEO GAME TRIVIA!!
TONIGHT at 8pm!!
DBX plays host to a LIVE video game trivia extravaganza hosted by none other than the Justin Timberlake of Trivia (and DBX volunteer blogger) IQ 2000!!!!!
All the questions we’re using tonight have come in from YOU, the viewers, and we’re opening up the question lines one more time!
Email your question, answer, and screen name to trivia@desertbus.org with the subject line “DBX Trivia” by
Want your question to make the cut? Here are some handy guidelines:
- We’re NOT looking for the hardest question you can think of. Aim for something in the “medium” difficulty range. The last thing we want is a battery of impossible questions and no one knowing any of the answers!
- The best questions will make players say “Ohhhhh, of course!” or “Wow, that’s really interesting” when they hear the answer, whether or not they knew it.
- Try to build in as many clues as possible in the question. Even if someone doesn’t know the answer outright straight away, they should be able to at least make a decent guess based on what you’ve given them!
- Try to keep it short to medium length. Aim for 300 characters or less, please.

Paul & Storm will be calling in at
11:00am PST on Thursday, November 17th.
Paul and Storm (Paul Sabourin and Greg “Storm” DiCostanzo) are known internationally and across the Internet for their original comedy music (often with a “nerd-ish” bent). In addition to their own live performances, they are co-founders of the geek-oriented variety show w00tstock, along with Wil Wheaton and Adam Savage, and co-produce JoCo Cruise. The duo’s original webseries musical, LearningTown, debuted on YouTube’s Geek & Sundry channel in January 2013. Also in 2013, their song “Another Irish Drinking Song” was featured in the hit movie Despicable Me 2, and in July had their guitar smashed on stage by George R. R. Martin (and deserved it). Their fifth full-length CD, Ball Pit, came out in 2014, and was the central item of the duo’s wildly successful Kickstarter campaign.

Own a piece of Desert Bus history! 
This handsome hardcover retrospective of Desert Bus 9 is the work of our phenomenal photographer Andrew Ferguson. Autographed by just about all the DB9 volunteers, only two hardcover copies will ever be printed!! To call this a “collector’s item” is an understatement.
To get in this Donation Drive, make a donation of $8.97 or any whole number multiple before 9:05am Pacific!
Start your day with a donation drive!
Add layers of subterfuge, skullduggery, and chicanery to your Magic:The Gathering game with this CONSPIRACY: TAKE THE CROWN set!

Get your donations in of $9.06 or whole number multiples before 7:55am!
Even if you don’t play Magic: the Gathering that often, the artwork featured in the game is absolutely wonderful. And, with this art book featuring artwork from the Shadows Over Innistrad release, you can behold the wonderful work that goes into each release from the comfort of your couch. It also makes any coffee table look infinitely better. As a bonus, this copy is signed by James Wyatt, senior game designer on the MTG creative team!
