NEW YORK BUS SIMULATOR - Like 28 Days Later But Crap

[@ThatGunslinger]

This is definitely the darkest chapter of the Bus Simulator Trilogy.

[@KingshipKRP]

Time traveling AngryJoe staring at his own ass has just earned you a new sub, Jim!

[@w0joshcbrln0w]

I'm a man watching a man watch a virtual man watch a bunch of people.

[@TheGreatRakatan]

It's actually much like I Am Legend where the player has simply set up all these mannequins and programmed self driving buses and cars to drive around so he doesn't feel lonely.

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

I hope these old squirty plays never get deleted from the internet. You've got the riffing skills of a great jazz musician.

[@Valkian24]

That future Joe checking out past Joe arse part needs to be a meme xD

[@countesschewi2399]

The game is actually even more funny when you play through the 'story'. It's like GTA but with just a bus and crap.

[@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309]

This game should have mad world playing in the background

[@jambob3486]

+brainjuice654 That is fucking brilliant.

[@brandonwenzel2844]

Yes!

[@BritishEcho]

xD!

[@wingedone6512]

It's been two years and I still watch this video from time to time because it never fails to crack me up. XDDDD

[@Tynon1221]

every video of Jim's that has "Bus" in the title is golden

[@KassFireborn]

Sometimes, when life is crap and I need a joyfully stupid distraction, I'll go through Jim's older stuff and click on things I missed the first time through. And this is a MASTERPIECE.

[@TheHidenintheshadows]

I'm fucking dying at Joe checking his past self out.

[@MrClassicInTheMaking]

Twice

[@Kektus1]

That bit was the best part of the whole thing.

[@acfreak55]

I fucking lost it when he said Angry Joe

[@TheCuddleCactus]

AngryJoe would SO do that just to check out his own ass xD

[@AnimalFacts027]

I would pay money just to hear Jim talk about pictures for an hour.

[@oobndroobw]

You just watched it for free, so there's that

[@SpikeRose]

It doesn't take place in Maine. Stephen King would despise this.

[@roadrunner2021]

The "Joe watching Joe" bit was brilliant

[@honzik2011]

I like how there's "horror" tag on steam

[@IRONMANAustralia]

Finally, another game that can be added to the genre that has been singularly populated and dominated by _Desert Bus_ for the last 20 years.

[@Twixley]

Actually no...there is another bus simulator that I checked out on a whim a few years ago. It both looks and works way better than this crap. It's still a game about driving a bus though...

[@IRONMANAustralia]

Actually I was referring to the lack of entertainment content, not the fact it's a bus simulator.

[@jeremyj.5687]

Extremely off-topic, but how did you do the italics? I only ever found out how to *write in bold*. And that was by accident :-|

[@ivanican3690]

Jeremy J. Possibly by using [ i ] TEXT HERE [ / i ] tags, but without the spaces? [i]Works on steam :/[/i] And that did not work. Damn.

[@jeremyj.5687]

Ivan Ican _I found out how to do it!_ It´s _ Text _ without the spaces. -And this should work as well- by typing - Text - without spaces. Well fuck, it doesn´t seem to work when I preview the text :-| Can you confirm whether you see my post with italics and strike-through at the appropriate places?

[@About9000]

The worst part is the sports car didn't even turn in the direction it's blinker indicated.

[@ThatHybridGuy]

Never stop playing bus simulators, Jim. They're always my favourite videos. Just... Beautiful.

[@DyvimZard]

I just love Jim's stories. I learned so much about New York today!

[@Naterkix]

I love it when you do bus simulators, Jim. I think the first one is still my favorite of your videos here. Also, Farscape is awesome. I have that singy bit from the first title theme as a ring tone.That part where the lady goes, "Wahlalalalalalaluh! Walalalalalalaluh! Yalalalalalaluh! Wah!" Good times.

[@Mr_Saxon]

This was, for me at least, one of the funniest videos you've done here. The video ended a minute or so ago and I'm still smiling at some of the comments you made.

[@natgrant1364]

I hear the New York stasis fields aren't harmful if you don't spend more than 3 seconds in them, so no worries.

[@Shaidon7]

Twilight Zone Simulator 2014

[@geeveelution]

Whenever i see a new simulator on Steam, my first thought is "I hope Jim plays this". You never disappoint. The Stasis bothers me immensely, but it does provide an amazing emerging narrative.

[@chartreuseking5995]

Mr. Sterling you have given this game a dimension the developers could not. I applaud you on your successful endeavor. Upon reflection though I would love a (loosely defined) game where you are dropped into a large city where everyone else is frozen in place and you are free to explore the entire area buildings included.

[@knoxklay11]

The backing track to this game should be Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York

[@swank7609]

Really nice post-apocalyptic feel to this game! The sight of all of those poor people that were once alive stood frozen in time really hit me in the feels. But by far the best part was the plot twist where you find out that "unemployed Laszlo" is actually employed. Was not expecting it, 9001/10.

[@Dooality]

The videos where you go off the deep end like this are my favorite videos.

[@JCMiniPainting]

Going through all these frozen people and giving them backstories, especially Joe looking at his own ass back in time, its way more entertaining that the actual gameplay!

[@sagejosh]

holy shit jim knows about farscape.....100/10, best guy yet.

[@Mycon]

We could've just joined the gloriously lusty adventures of Constantina, instead you gave us this!

[@manabluerose]

That was more beautiful than I imagined. I really enjoyed your stories and the concept of the game more than the 'game' itself.

[@kingblue2646]

28 Days Later but crap.. ..so 28 Weeks Later?

[@aphilra]

Jim Sterling @ 03:57:"City Bus Simulator of course tells us of a bleak future where time travelers go back in time to sexually objectify themselves." Man this is why I come here. It's lines like these that catch you off guard and lighten up your day. Thank you Jim Sterling, thank you. :D

[@lovecraftcat]

Someone should make a supercut of Jim's creative insults at the start of each video.

[@raennocturne]

I will now refer to all butts as "the whole lil toot department"...thank you so much for that one

[@Boosterbeast]

Bus simulator. Never drove a fucking bus! Golden !

[@rockmusicmanic]

Jim's Bollocks make me want to watch this video over and over.

[@matthewgwilliam3268]

A game where you drive a bus as shia labeouf in a dead and creepy new york, PERFECT!

[@TheOnlyAndTruthMrK]

the final shot has so much emotion behind it. I will just send it to everyone who asks about my oppinion on the whole simulator problem.

[@hollowxf7498]

"and here you can see Joe looking at...himself" God damn it lol.

This reminds me of those Japanese "stop time"-adult movies.

[@MrPiccoloku]

+PhilFightmaster [Rävröv] What're they like?

[@EmployeeJoe630]

Albus Kane shot in the dark? Rapey.

[@LotteBlueJays]

These are the best ones. Jim just rambling ABSOLUTE nonsense for the entire video.

[@Khalith]

Love your commentary Jim, too funny.

[@julesy6922]

I wonder if the guy who posed all those character models around that bus depot was just thinking "what the fuck am I doing with my life?" the entire time.

[@Medli32]

Your cat is just adding to the horror effect!

[@cornbredx]

Its like the edges of The Hex that Wanda doesn't have complete control over so they're stuck in place.

[@Tuznecote]

5:54 Dungy Plunkuss is possibly my favourite character of 2013. Fuck it. We are a year late but he is just that good.

[@SlipknotRevan]

Oh, Jim, you and transport simulators. Some things never change.

[@Cadrid]

Despite the game being a colossal pile of whale smegma, I was becoming engrossed in Jim's backstory. Definitely gonna need more of that in the future!

[@Justsomebiggerman2]

mr sterling, you are a funny man. thanks

[@Utonian21]

This game takes place in NYC, which is in the U.S, but the cars have European license plates. Quality game right here.

[@nurb101]

2:17 A Chili Wawas chain restaurant has opened up in New York I see.

[@justbillie13]

The bus driver looks like a pudgy Shia LaBeouf with a ponytail.

[@fredericksmith7942]

4:57 Jay Leno's chins were donated to Arin Hanson.

[@alanblewett3894]

Jim gotta love the farscape reference

[@doofus15768]

When you drop what I guess head phone mr Sterling, I thought you rage quit for a moment you scare me OnO;;;

[@daavpuke]

Classy and fitting ending reference.

[@aimfuldrifter]

You know what would be even more depressing? Seattle Bus Simulator.

[@HalfBloodBrony]

you doing bus simulators is amazing :D

[@TheDarkChaplain]

Poetry.

[@karabatakpoezie]

In motion

[@karabatakpoezie]

matthew ellis Gladly, and more poetry in general as well

[@prmaguiar]

lol... Angry Joe checking his own ass from the future, Jay Leno... this video is too good.

[@Gormathius]

2:26 Hey look! It's de-ressed Griffin McElroy!

[@anikmonette2140]

It's like the final ending in Futurama: someone broke the universe! Except for noises and some things everything is frozen.

[@magician21cc]

Jim I fucking LOVE Gremlins XD You once again rise to the challenge of being my Favorite on KZbin :3

[@sarien_aurelas]

At least the flag moves.........MURICA.

[@Srea42]

It's because as you move the bus you are less likely to notice the people not moving as opposed to a flag not moving....my question is why can the trash cans move? I mean even in real life the city bolts them to the ground.

[@InfernalMonsoon]

This looks like a collage of Garry's Mod pictures strewn across the internet. 13/10 - Would see Angry Joe in this again.

[@LenzPlayground]

Fantastic Video - thank your for the description of the static pedestrians. All this stuff I would have otherwise never known. Thank god for Jim fucking Sterling, son.

[@jackmaney4276]

...so we're just going to ignore the aircraft carrier in the background?

[@edeyboy2931]

This is the most realistic representation of life in New York. How did they manage to capture city life so accurately?

[@bobodia1000]

I found myself laughing to near exhaustion watching this from the perfect comedic commentary.

[@PierceTheHandsome]

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.

[@ItsFefnir]

Angry Joe went back in time twice to date someone and stare at his own ass? There are better ways to do both of those things, but I can't fault him for a lack of creativity.

[@darkmage07070777]

8:50 - So THAT'S what Mr. Game and Watch does when he's not making another Smash Bros. ...how the mighty have fallen.

[@thePyro13]

3 minutes in, I'm pretty sure "Farscape Expert Conversation Simulator" would be a much better idea of a game.

[@jonhg92]

i burst out laughing at seeing Jay leno

[@swido16]

Hahaha this is amazing. :'D I haven't laughed this hard in awhile

[@Dexieboi2013]

7:30 New York Bus Simulator: Featuring John Romero in a beard.

[@onemoreturn]

3:30, it's Anita Sarkeesian.

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Well, sure looks smug and full of herself enough to be Anita, but where are her trademark ridiculously enormous earrings?

[@JDLupus]

I can't help but think how lucky one bastard from Georgia would be if they're able to accomodate Jim for a day or two.

[@brajuhani]

Great podcast yesterday Jim.

[@DauthEldrvaria]

That stasis idea..... Has merit >:)

[@dragon8tor442]

My little cousin has a weird obsession with busses.

[@LukeArp]

2:13 I thought he looked more like Tony Danza than David Schwimmer

[@msemlar9108]

This looks like the setup for a Doctor Who episode. :-D

[@Jibab53]

Steven King already made a movie like this. It's called Maximum Overdrive.

[@DigiFox0]

So apparently, the player model for this game is a very depressed Jason David Frank.

[@blue7661]

I honestly think the driver is probably modelled on the game's creator, whilst the "public" are his three mates and their girlfriends or something...

[@anikmonette2140]

Blue Sonnet Or more likely its "generic bus driver character model", "generic male character number one", "generic male character number two", "generic male character number three", "generic female model one and two" and "basic character model of a 12 year old kid"...

[@garagon31]

This is basically Langoliers

[@diobrando6177]

Haha he looks like one of the young bucks

[@Greenwickpress]

I was hoping he'd see if his character could get run over by the traffic.

[@contractzero1194]

"Angry Joe traveled back in time to check out his own ass"

[@tmsphere]

It looks like a preview to the version of Sims 4 you'll be getting if you don't pre-purchase or buy the "animation" dlc

[@FairysHuff]

The first 6 minutes is like game of thrones in it's people drama. ^_^

[@osriccauldwyn]

I love how he pronounces Cilian as Silly Anne lol.

[@Scoopicus]

I feel like it would make a better Harlan Ellison book than a Stephen King book. "I Have No Bus Pass, and I Must Board" or something.

[@MasterLPG]

Is it just me or does Jim Sterling sound a lot like Simon from the Yogscast?

[@corgistaniel1150]

Jim, do I have your permission the declare 2014 the "year of the shitty steam games"?

[@hashholla]

***** You are not Jim Sterling!

[@blarg2429]

Dorian Stark Am I? :D

[@hashholla]

blarg2429 I don't know. Are you?!?!?!

[@Kektus1]

There've been some fantastic games out this year.... but FAR MORE shitty ones. So I would not disagree with that title.

[@blarg2429]

Dorian Stark No. ;-; But as Bernard put it, I can dream.

[@yeoltelly]

I mean the storyline is pretty fascinating in this game.

[@ABlackFalcon]

These 'Jim doesn't actually play a bus simulator game' videos were amusing the first couple of times, but it'd be nice to see him actually play one sometime...
