It's a true story (maybe), and the title of this column I wrote for Retronauts, featuring an interview I conducted with one of the programmers who worked on Penn & Teller.
Oh, also, I write for Retronauts. I wrote this thing about Vulgus, and then some other posts that aren't about unreleased games at all. |

One of my friends went to school with the people who do the Desert Bus of Hope. I actually found out about the game from her before I looked into it here! |

In an interview in the December issue of GameInformer (yeah, I figured it's the least I could do for my buddies slaving for minimum wage at GameStop), Penn Gillette made a small mention of Desert Bus of Hope when asked about Smoke & Mirrors. Sadly, he did not mention it by name, but approved of it. Especially considering that (also stated in said interview) Desert Bus was intended as a "fuck you" to Janet Reno after she quoted that video games should prepare people with real world skills. |

Last year, Penn had on his YouTube account a video about the Desert Bus for Hope event. I think this might be the video, but I can't say for sure... as the Penn Says YouTube account is now US region locked :/ |

Okay, so the boys are supporting them with more than just a "Hey guys, love what you're doing! Keep it up!" Wonder if it was just cut from the interview. That's something you'd want to mention by name. |
