Jer’s night of retro games while playing a retro game continues, and we need your decision on what game to play next. As with last hour, you’ll have the choice of three games and your donations to this donation drive will help us determine what to play.
This hour, we’re picking between three Pokemon games. Here’s your choices…
Donate $7.76 to vote for Pokemon Blue
Donate $7.77 to vote for Pokemon Snap
Donate $7.78 to vote for Pokemon Go
The game that gets the most donations will be what Jer will play on stream next hour. Regardless of what you pick, you’ll have a chance to win this Destiny: The Buried City print, covered in signatures from the dev team! We’ll accept donations for this donation drive until 12:00am PST.
Jer’s issued a creative challenge to the community, and it’s your chance to help add something awesome for the Desert Bus iOS app!
We’d like to put together a set of stickers for iOS that capture everything that is Desert Bus for Hope, and are looking for your submissions. Because of the nature of this challenge, there’s a few things to keep in mind…
- Submissions should be 408px by 408px.
- Submissions should be in PNG format and should have a transparent background.
- Please keep in mind that your submission may be included in the Desert Bus app.
The winner will receive this Darkwing Duck prize lot, and we’ll look to include many of your great submissions in the iOS app in the future. Send your submissions to contests@desertbus.org with the subject line iOS Messaging Sticker. We’ll accept submissions until 9:45am PST, just before the end of Jer’s shift.
So, we’re doing something a little different for this donation drive… Jer’s shift has just started and we need your help picking what game you’d like to see him play! In addition to helping pick a game, you’ll enter for a chance to win this awesome Zelda – Legends of Localization book.
Here’s your options…
Donate $5.55 to vote for Metal Gear Solid on Game Boy Color
Donate $5.56 to vote for Resident Evil on Game Boy Color
Donate $5.57 to vote for Street Fighter Alpha on Game Boy Color
These are all wonderful options, but we can play only one. The one that totals the highest is the game Jer will play live on the feed. Regardless of what game you vote for, we’ll randomly draw for a winner from all votes. We’ll be running this donation drive until 11pm PST.
It’s been a crazy first day of Desert Bus. As we wind down Day 1 and head into Day 2, here’s a rundown of what you might have missed:
Andrew might have started out excited as he took the controls of the bus from James, however time (and the energy of our crew) soon distracted him enough to have our first crash of the year! #BlameAndrew
We asked for everyone to flex their creative muscles and tasked the viewers to create a Haiku about the journey we’ve taken to get to Desert Bus 10. We had many wonderful submissions but in the end, chat user Akaiatana took the top prize with this haiku:
Folks said we’re crazy
The obstacles in our way
Are Smoke and Mirrors
Thanks to your amazing generosity we have already SOLD OUT of our Pinny Arcade Desert Bus Pins. Now the only way to get these pins is to win them along with any Desert Bus prize. There are still plenty of great Desert Bus Posters, Photo Books, and Playmats however!
James had a BOLD idea for an art challenge for the tail end of his shift. He decided that he wanted to solicit TATTOO ideas for a possible tattoo that James would get as his first. This is the design that James is going to be workshopping from chat user GothicPie!
Bengineering brought back his infamous “describing things” voice from Desert Bus 9 and used it to possibly nuclear effect. Whilst describing one of our awesome silent auctions Ben’s unbelievable delivery took out the ENTIRE Lunar Module. Engineering, Communications, Web, didn’t matter because we ALL died laughing. This is a VST clip you DON’T want to skip.
Congratulations to user Gothicpie for the selection of their tattoo design for James’ art challenge! James is going to workshop this idea with a tattoo artist to get everything looking perfect.
There were….ALOT of entries, so it’s time to share this INSANE gallery. Thank you so much everyone for your entries!
Check them out!

Crashes: 4In childhood, Jer was broken and deceived by the evil entity, ‘Castlevania II’. While it promised him a meeting with the fabled “graveyard duck,” the duck was a lie and he exists today as a shadow of his former self.
It’s Desert Bus’ 10th year:
His first memory of Desert Bus:
James pitching a “Child’s Play Fundraiser” in a tiny grad student seminar room at UVic a decade ago; Paul brought up that he wanted to do something with Desert Bus, which I thought was a terrible idea. I came up with some other ideas, but Desert Bus had momentum. I’ll cop to being on the wrong side of that argument.
