By popular demand, we’ll be performing a live edition of Qwerpline tonight during Omega Shift!
Qwerpline started as a yearly gag on Desert Bus for Hope and has evolved into a comedy improv podcast published by LoadingReadyRun. In the podcast, Big G-Money (Graham) and A-Train (Alex) host a live morning radio show for the great town of Nsburg. They’re often joined by a rotating cast of characters, including traffic reporter Richter Hammockslam (Ian), Derek the Intern (Beej), and arts reporter Edith Slump (Kathleen). The podcast just wrapped up its second season.
Tune in tonight at 10:00pm PST to watch the hilarity live!

We here at Desert Bus for hope would like to take a moment to thank one of our Prize Sponsors for this year’s event: Greater Than Games.
Founded in January 2011 by Christopher Badell, Adam Rebottaro, and Paul Bender, Greater Than Games is the publisher of many engaging, richly-themed and highly replayable tabletop games. We love playing games and our ridiculous process of game creation and our goal is to continue producing high quality tabletop games for many years to come. With those ideals in mind, Greater Than Games merged with Dice Hate Me Games in 2015. This merger resulted in Dice Hate Me Studios, a game design and development studio under Greater Than Games, LLC. Dice Hate Me Studio specializes in retro Americana themed games with euro-style elements. Our company is now known for award winning games like Sentinels of the Multiverse, Spirit Island, Bottom of the 9th, and Compounded.
