We’d like to take a moment to thank one of our tech sponsors, VDO.Ninja!
It takes a lot of tech to coordinate four teams of entertainers across multiple stream inputs, and we’re grateful to VDO.Ninja for helping us do it! It’s 100% free with no downloads or personal data required, and lets you bring live video directly into OBS or other studio software.
As the bus rolls on, so does the silent auctions! And two new, fantastic ones just started up! These auctions are running until 10am PST.
First up, a pair of leather hair clips, kindly donated by DigitalSeahorse!
Measuring just under 5 inches by 2 plus some pretty rainbow dangling fringe bits they'll look majestic as they get blown in the wind. Ingredients: Love, leather, metal clip fixings, acrylic paint, Eco-Flo Leather Dye, Future Polish, Suede. May contain magic.
Current high bid is $333.69
The second of our two current silent auctions is a set of Super Mario Bros NES Enemy Coasters, donated by Kyle Gratien!
These handmade pieces utilized 3D printed templates to create consistent pixel size, based on the actual sprites from the game. Each one was hand glazed to match the original color, and affixed with a cork backing to protect your surfaces from scratching. This set includes Bullet Bill, Buzzy Beetle, Podoboos, Spiny, Latiku, Cheep Cheep, Goomba, and Koopa Troopa as a shell, because it makes for a much better coaster shape. Most are around 4"x 4", with the Latiku closer to 6" x 4". Whatever your drink of choice is, this set will help you stay hydrated during your next gaming session.
Current high bid is $840.69
Steve Dengler is a geek many geeks want to be. He flies airplanes, speaks Italian and collects game memorabilia. Actually, just about anybody ought to be more like the modest man behind Dracogen Inc. He and a friend started a company straight out of university, and eventually the work paid off. Now he spends his resources beating bureaucracy, co-starring in a web comic, and overall getting good things to happen.
We can all only aspire to the levels of awesomeness and philanthropy exemplified by Dracogen, which is an organizing sponsor of Child’s Play and has provided many of the awesome auction lots we are excited to give away.
Desert Bus for Hope would like to thank Steve and Dracogen for their continued support in the organization of Desert Bus for Hope.
Time is running out on our two current silent auctions, but you still have a chance to sneak in and bid! They're running until 2am PST, so set your timer now!
First of our excellent silent auctions is a Crocheted Rainbow Chocobo, donated by Orin Drake!
This chocobo is made of bright sparkly acrylic yarn stuffed with super squishy polyfil. Tail feathers, first primary feather and wing joints, legs, and front toes are wired for posability, while the back toes remain soft but reinforced to better distribute weight. They stand at a purely accidental 12 inches to the top of their crest, with an 11 inch wingspan and currently 5.5 inches from their chest fluff to the base of their tail. The eyes are dark raspberry purple-pink dyed agate.
Current high bid is $3030.30
Next is a Pokemon Shaker Charm Set, donated by crafter Patch_witch!
Made from resin and Pokemon cards, these shaker charms are the perfect way to take your favorite partner everywhere you go! Featuring Eevee and all their 'lutions, each charm is themed, unique, and handmade. Due to the nature of the charms, sometimes pieces will get stuck to the sides or back from static, don't be afraid to shake vigorously to try and loosen them up. They can be wiped down with alcohol wipes to remove smudges and fingerprints.
Current high bid is $1808.02
We've got some real exciting, real life inspired content for you tonight here on E&A. Are you excited? We're excited. Let's take a look at our content for tonight.
French Columbo uses his little green cells to find a murderer - and it's not anyone you would suspect. Because it's the puppet. Yes. Wrinkles the RDP Puppet killed Harry, and Jordan is going to hold Wrinkles accountable.* Wow, what a twist. Did we just spoil the ending? Oops. Our bad.
*Portions of this broadcast have been edited and re-arranged for dramatic effect.
Time to move on to our behind-the-scenes look into the streamer's studio and learn more about what Graham is willing to order from McDonald's than is probably healthy for us even to listen to. Haha. Then in Lieography, we take a deep look into his storied past of questionable G-Vlogs that absolutely happened and are completely true even though our show is titled "Lieography."
Now, let us take a moment out of our regular programming to remember the Target employees who lost their lives in the Target Kids Uprising of November 15.
Truly, yesterday was a sad day for retail employment. But life moves on and so does E&A's programming.
We've reached the drama portion of the evening. Oh my. Titillating. Jordan talks a big game when he's ragging on James, but can he take what he dishes out? We find out in tonight's special episode of PO(n)G the Bounty Hunter, where Jordan takes on Graham in a coffee pong exhibition match.
Oops, that ad up there was another spoiler wasn't it? Let's not dwell on it. We have so much action ahead. Where were you when you learned that despite Ian's claims to fame, it is actually Graham who has more bus stops?
Let us take another pause in our programming to watch NASA launch a spacecraft that will loop around the moon. Wow. Do you think they get TV on the moon? We should talk to our network execs about locking down the moon demographic. We already have viewers at NASA.
Looks like we're out of time, gentle viewer. Thank you for tuning into E&A. We're going to---

--THIS BROADCAST HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED. Matthew "William" Wiggins has sinned against Fugi. All of Night Watch must now suffer Fugi's wrath. Zeta Shift will have the first opportunity to discover the easter egg hidden in the overlay – an easter egg that will be turned off as soon as Night Watch starts their shift tomorrow, so they can never. Ever. Enjoy it. How do you like them easter eggs?
The Rules of Acquisition clearly state that you should not donate DB Shift Gold Pressed Latinum to charity! But you can't negotiate with these Starfleet types, they're all goody-goody and "ooh save the children." For one brick and five strips of gold-pressed latinum, these hyoo-mans better be saving lots of children. What? They are? Nyehhhh!
Throw money at this giveaway in increments of $5.82 (or, shudder, multiples of that much) before 11:30pm PT and you can at least acquire this gold-pressed latinum.
MomoCon in downtown Atlanta brings together fans of Japanese Anime, American Animation, Comics, Video Games, and Tabletop Games to celebrate their passion. If those are passions you'd like to celebrate, their next convention will be in May 25-28, 2023!
MomoCon also sponsors Desert Bus for Hope, for which we are grateful! Thank you MomoCon for your support.
The Secret Lair Artist Series Collection from Magic: The Gathering lets you bring home special editions of really cool cards, either reprinted or revised by the artists. This set from Thomas Baxa, Mark Poole, and Johannes Voss could be yours for a donation of $9.87 (or multiples thereof) before 10:10pm PT!
Nix of Nothing is the weekly webcomic from M. Lee Lunsford, whom you may also recognize as the creator of the annual Desert Bus poster. Demigod Nix was supposed to enjoy a life of freedom from divine expectations, but all that changed when an unknown divine force targeted them. Now they must journey to see if they can find peace once again.
Thank you Nix of Nothing and M. Lee Lunsford for your support of Desert Bus for Hope!
