Well, a couple of days ago, we had a challenge featuring Ashley and Ash’s adorable canine companions, Jade and Buster. Now, with Graham at the wheel, we’re doing an art challenge featuring feline companions Baxter and Khaavren. Being the best pals that they are, we want to see your best movie art for a buddy movie featuring Baxter and Khaavren. Winner receives a Matcha tea set!
Send your submissions to contests@desertbus.org with “Buddy Movie Art” in the subject line. We’ll accept submissions until 2:00 AM PST. Also, please include with your submission the name or handle you’d like to go by on-air should your submission win.
For your reference, and because The Internet doesn’t have nearly enough cat pictures, here’s an adorable gallery featuring Baxter and Khaavren, respectively:

We are very happy to welcome League of Geeks as a sponsor for the run this year! Formed in 2011 by Ty Carey, Blake Mizzi, Trent Kusters and Jacek Tuschewski; League of Geeks is an independent game development collective focused on creating highly engaging user-experiences. After running an extremely successful crowdfunding campaign and beta period, their debut title Armello was released on PC/Mac/PS4 this past September. A role playing strategy board game, Armello is an exciting new take on digital board games. Blending the best elements of board games with the technology and convenience of their electronic counterparts, Armello has wowed players across the world. We thank League of Geeks for their amazing generosity.
Well let’s all come down a bit after that Mikey Neumann excitement. We’ve got a Donation Drive headed your way.
The Video Game games lot, donated by our very own Brendan Baker, includes all of the games in the Boss Monster series. Boss Monster is a deck building card game that revels in the art style of 8 bit and 16 bit titles.
Any donations of $8.88 or multiples thereof until 10:30 PM PST will get you an entry for this drive.
So as some of you might have noticed, Tally’s hair got a little shorter. What wasn’t immediately obvious to folks unless they were watching live is that Tally had a great deal of support from Lady_Hosk in the chat.
If Tally reached 35K she would allow Lord_Hosk to cut her hair. If Tally reached 40k she would allow James to cut her hair. If Tally reached 50k she would allow her three young daughters, The Hosklings, to cut her hair.
Tally reached 50K
So without further ado: The Hosteling Haircut
That awkward time where you are deep in the throes of a Halo match, bullets flying and grenades exploding, when all of a sudden your significant other turns your console off because it’s far to loud in the house.
Fix that with this Steelseries Spectrum Headset that can be yours for this Donation Drive we have going on. Any donations of $7.10 or multiples thereof until 8:50 PM PST will gain you entry for a chance to win this headset.
Krogcore, Krogstep, Krogrock, whatever you want to call it is your decision, but what we’re looking for is audio remixes of the “Krog videos“. What that means is we want to see audio from any of the Krog videos and remix them into musical tracks. 
Doesn’t matter what video, doesn’t matter what style. We just need what you think remixed music of the LRR Cavemen would sound like. We are going to run this challenge until Midnight PST. The winner will receive this Anglerfish Plush and remember the fear we all experienced in Desert Bus 8.
Please send all entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line Krogmix. Please include a link to a Youtube/Soundcloud link. Please also include a public name you’d like to be used if you are selected.
