Every year for the past three years, Canadian comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun, known not only for the weekly videos posted to their own website but also their work on The Escapist through Unskippable and ENN, have played the most boring game in the world in support of Child's Play. The game is Desert Bus -- the more people donate, the longer they keep playing. Aside from smashing last year's donation record of over $70,000, they seem this year to be trying as hard as possible not to crash. They are currently working on their tenth point, which, after 83 hours of gameplay, means they have barely crashed at all.
For more information, to donate, and to join in with the live chat and live video streams of the event (which also feature various other ways to encourage you to part with your money for the sake of charity -- auctions and humiliation of Matt seeming to be the two most popular methods), visit desertbus.org. And do check out their video work cited above -- they are excellent comedians.
