Gold - Bus Driver [May 05, 2008, 09:11 am ET] - Viewing Comments
Meridian4 and SCS Software announce that your chance to live out your Ralph Kramden fantasies are near, as Bus Driver is gold, and will be available for digital distribution later this month:

    Montreal, Quebec, Canada – May 5, 2008 – Meridian4 (http://www.meridian4.com) and SCS Software are pleased to announce that Bus Driver has gone gold and will be ready to ship to retail stores and be available for digital download in May.

    “We have been working with SCS Software to change some minor things in the game for the North American market.” said Jeff Giasson, Production Director at Meridian4, “There was very little to be done to this surprisingly addictive driving sim.”

    About Bus Driver
    In Bus Driver, your job is to transport passengers around an attractive and realistic city. You must drive to a timetable on a planned route, while obeying traffic rules, and taking care not to upset or injure your passengers. This makes Bus Driver unlike any other driving game - the experience of driving a bus is very different from blazing through a racing circuit.

            • 12 buses to drive – detailed models inspired by real-world buses, including London’s double-decker bus, America’s school bus, Europe’s low floor buses and many more
            • 30 routes arranged into 5 tiers with increasing difficulty
            • Multiple duties, such as driving a school bus, transporting tourists, sight-seeing tours and even the transportation of prisoners
            • High replay value based on sophisticated system of traffic rules and game-play related bonuses.
            • Large city to drive in, with several districts of varying styles: modern, old-town, suburb, airport, harbor and more with day/night cycles and realistic weather conditions.
            • Living roads with intelligent traffic controlled by AI system
            • Non-violent, easy to pick up gameplay, suitable for all ages.

Teacher, Secretary, and Accountant are all due out in Fall '09! Whoot!   ::)

That is so asking for a photoshop to something  considerably less innocuous than simply counting sheep.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I think that's part of the joke, or they would have chosen daytime and something less ... cuddly and humpable.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Don't worry, Jen. You'll have this epic scene where you're sitting at a chess board all alone, and you'll reach out a hand at point at the king.
It'll be tiny, but for a brief moment there'll be a sweet lens flare.
And then the way for a sequel will open :P
