Hurting Others is Good for the Children

So I don't know if any of you have heard of the now annual Desert Bus fund raising event before, but its a damn creative way to encourage people to donate. In short these 4 people promise to keep playing this incredibly boring game for as long as people keep donating (with the required price going up each hour). Apparently people love the idea that their money not only goes to helping children but that it also directly causes misery in a bunch of uppity nerds because this year in 5 days they raised $132,438.94!

I want you to read the description below and watch the video, then imagine playing this game non-stop for 5 days and 16 hours. They're fucking crazy!

 The objective of the game is to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time at a maximum speed of 45mph, a feat that would take the player 8 hours of continuous play to complete, as the game cannot be paused.

The bus contains no passengers, and there is no scenery or other cars on the road. The bus veers to the right slightly; as a result, it is impossible to tape down a button to go do something else and have the game end properly. If the bus veers off the road it will stall and be towed back to Tucson, also in real time. If the player makes it to Las Vegas, they will score exactly one point. The player then gets the option to make the return trip to Tucson—for another point (a decision they must make in a few seconds or the game ends). Players may continue to make trips and score points as long as their endurance holds out.
