God i really love this video from steph not just because it takes place in a brutally depressing version of Germany in the 2010s but because it really did feel like this random bus driver had gone insane and just wandered out into the city rambling to himself as he passed Historic Sites, Sale Sales that he couldnt afford and old bridges while he talked about his crazy dentist all because he didnt know his ID for his job. Truerly an absolute Gem here!
Playing this game completely counter to what you're supposed to do is AWESOME! And more than slightly creepy. The city is busy with living beings moving around but they all move the same... look the same.. nobody talks.. or smiles...or looks at you... Great. Nightmares tonight.
Only Jim Sterling could take a bus simulator of all things, and turn it into a great Dusseldorf, slender man avoiding mini adventure through medication addled very funny ramble (I also love how he just ran up and down the street ranting at the NPC's!)
ConsciousInteractive I was on painkillers for a year after spinal surgery, and they make playing games a very strange experience. For me at least, they heightened the feeling of immersion incredibly, and really put me deep into the game. I am very glad I played Suikoden 2,Lunar Silver Star Story, Lunar 2 Eternal Blue, and FF7 while high out of my mind. Because it made for an unforgettable experience. I was so out of it when I beat Lunar 2 that I literally wept with happiness, an actual river of tears... The sorrow that Working Designs was gone, and that we would never see another great Lunar game also contributed to it I am sure, but it was amazing. ...Don't do drugs kids. >__>
This was intensely fun stuff Jim. If a game is boring like this one, just do more of this nonsense. I think we would all love to hear more anecdotes from you utterly fascinating life.
I like Jim anyways, but after todays content (Fun Pay Wall, Dismal Jesters ep. and this) I think I like Jim on Percocet even more. He is truly the HST of garme jurnalizm.
I never thought I'd see the day where Jim runs through th streets shouting and screaming like a raving lunatic. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
This makes me want to see Jim play OMSI 2 when it comes out. Jim... please play OMSI 2, it is the pinnacle of bus sims. I'm serious. It's listed as 'coming soon' on steam right now. Love you!
I feel like they should combine Papers Please with Bus Simulator and make a game primarily about taking abuse from passengers who complain to you about things you have no control over, and occasionally you'll have to dodge drunk people trying to punch you because you didn't let them on because they're drunk. We'll call it, First Bus: The Game!
Jim : Alright, I got a Dentist appointment, and a recording session when I get back. Hopefully, it won't be terrible, just follow the script. Jim, after throwing it away and high on Painkillers : 3:58
That elephant is the mascotte of a Dutch toystore franchise called Intertoys. But it could be that they have stores in more countries or are not even a Dutch firm after all.
Holy shit! that elephant is a real kid's toyshop thing! I don't know the name of it, but it's definitely real. I have family in the netherlands and that was always the toy shop mascot
Good gosh man you did this with the newer version of this game. Will others and I ever actually get to see you play these games correctly? I was looking forward to that. :S
Oh god, I thought these were called 'squirty plays', and I never watched 'cos I didn't know who squirty was. I've been a fool!.. Well at least now I have a good few hours of content to catch up on. :)
Hail to the bus driver, Bus driver! Bus driver! Hail to the bus driver, Bus driver man. He yells and he cusses, and smells up the busses, Hail to the bus driver, Bus driver man. He steps on the clutch and the toilet goes flush. Hail to the bus driver, Bus driver man.
I can't wait to see him play jogging simulator where he will presumably drive a bus for the duration of the video.
this is what a let's play should be like.
What just rambling about life n shit? Well thats litearlly the legacy that Gronkh built himself over the 2010s smh
God i really love this video from steph not just because it takes place in a brutally depressing version of Germany in the 2010s but because it really did feel like this random bus driver had gone insane and just wandered out into the city rambling to himself as he passed Historic Sites, Sale Sales that he couldnt afford and old bridges while he talked about his crazy dentist all because he didnt know his ID for his job.

This video is delightfully precious. Going chronologically through old Jim's videos can sure lead you across some sterling gems.
"You don't actually buy the product, just the savings"
wtffff lol this is why I love Jim on painkillers
Sometimes the best part about games is making your own game within it. Oh man, I think this is my favorite squirty play. I laughed so hard I cried.
Playing this game completely counter to what you're supposed to do is AWESOME! And more than slightly creepy. The city is busy with living beings moving around but they all move the same... look the same.. nobody talks.. or smiles...or looks at you...
Great. Nightmares tonight.
just like being a real life bus driver
Germany in the 2010s truerly was dead like that huh, pls Zoomers fix this...
you could start another series called druggy plays, each week a new drug
The best ideas for this channel are all ones will kill me.
Keep in touch.
Classic Sterling right here
I imagined this whole story being told is the bus driver running away just yelling it out to whoever will listen. Makes the video even better.
welcome to "drug-addled spiritual journey simulator 2012"...that was just amazing...
Only Jim Sterling could take a bus simulator of all things, and turn it into a great Dusseldorf, slender man avoiding mini adventure through medication addled very funny ramble (I also love how he just ran up and down the street ranting at the NPC's!)
Aww man, best squirty play I've seen so far, that medication made you rather lucid :3
Hilarious, more painkiller plays.
As tempting as that may be, I think I probably should refrain. :-)
Jim Sterling
Loving these small lets plays, you can really tell what your getting yourself into in the first 10, 20 minutes of play. Keep em comin.

N64 doesnt stop for anyone
This video cheered me up immensely. Thanks Jim XD
Drugged Jim is the best Jim.
I seriously hope the only reason you'd recommend a dentist who sounds like he has no idea what he's doing is because of the drugs.
This is still funny in 2016.
This was intensely fun stuff Jim. If a game is boring like this one, just do more of this nonsense.
I think we would all love to hear more anecdotes from you utterly fascinating life.
I keep coming back to this video. It honestly changed my life.
Busdriver Mental Breakdown Simmulator 2012
jim running towards a bus shouting astrogon
I like Jim anyways, but after todays content (Fun Pay Wall, Dismal Jesters ep. and this) I think I like Jim on Percocet even more. He is truly the HST of garme jurnalizm.
There are no words except "incredible."
at 6:30 the group of people can tell Jim's lost the plot and all turn around and walk the other way
Jim you fluffy genius! This was hilarious.
Wanksgiving. Tossing spider-mans left and right. I don’t even know what is going on in this world anymore.
I never thought I'd see the day where Jim runs through th streets shouting and screaming like a raving lunatic. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Thanks for that LOVELY mental image of Spiderman webs all over your house xD
This makes me want to see Jim play OMSI 2 when it comes out.
Jim... please play OMSI 2, it is the pinnacle of bus sims. I'm serious. It's listed as 'coming soon' on steam right now.
Love you!
Bahahaha! That was killer. You should do a sequel where you learn to drive the bus but then ignore the schedule and drive wherever you want
A video of Jim's never fails to cheer me up.
God this is amazing. Talking about NeoCon tooth stories while RUNNING on FOOT in a BUS simulator....best video of yours.
This bullshit game lets you abandon your purpose and run around the city, and in CoD you still have to wait for an NPC to open doors for you..
I feel like they should combine Papers Please with Bus Simulator and make a game primarily about taking abuse from passengers who complain to you about things you have no control over, and occasionally you'll have to dodge drunk people trying to punch you because you didn't let them on because they're drunk. We'll call it, First Bus: The Game!
this is hilarious, thank god for jim!
I'm new to Jim but from the 30 or so videos I have seen so fare this is definitely my Favrite
This was hilarious, cheered me up from my dull and boring cold, nicely done Jim, cheers!
This could be a hit series! Call it Let's Play While Hopped up on Pain Meds.
This is the best play of Bus Simulator i have ever seen.
This is your Jim Sterling on drugs.
This is almost Desert Bus quality. On another note, why won't they just combine all the sims into one and call it - boring job simulator?
This is art. Jim Sterling is the video games of Citizen Kanes. All hail.
Unemployed Pedestrian Simulator 2012.
I fucking love you Jim! Thank God for you.
I'm actually playing Unemployed Pedestrian Simulator 2012: Full Immersion VR Edition right now! Oh wait, I'm not, I'm really an unemployed pedestrian IRL.
Haha! Same here, except I rarely go and actually walk around my town so I would never be considered a pedestrian.
That Elephant is the mascotte of InterToys, a toy store that somehow exists in Europe. Loved the Vid, keep em comin Jim!
This is the first of your vids that has really made me laugh out loud; you're a funny guy
Well ... that certainly made my favorite Lets Play list. XD
I so wanted to do this when I left my old job but I hadn't the courage. Good to know a game out there will let me do it virtually.
Thank god for Jim Sterling on pain killers.
I choked on tea. A+ would watch again.
And I ran , I ran so far away , I couldn't get away.
This business with the ticket machine explains why bus drivers are so often grumpy.
I saw "Squirty Play - Bus Simulator"
That was all I needed to stop everything I was doing and come here. :)
Jim : Alright, I got a Dentist appointment, and a recording session when I get back. Hopefully, it won't be terrible, just follow the script.
Jim, after throwing it away and high on Painkillers : 3:58
Based
It's kind of amazing that they didn't make you do the bus thing in this game. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving, however you choose to celebrate it.
I plan to name my punk band Lord Sterling's Aching Fuckmouths.
That elephant is the mascotte of a Dutch toystore franchise called Intertoys. But it could be that they have stores in more countries or are not even a Dutch firm after all.
This video has made me so happy, Brilliant stuff !
This is an exact reinvention of when I was once a bus driver.
And no busses were driven that day...
best letsplay evar!
"N64 !!!!" Had me rolling.
Don't worry Jim, I'm an American and I don't get Thanksgiving either.
This video is what the internet was invented for
The only thing that could have made this better is if the bus driver had thrown his shoes into the road.
Kickstarter for percocet for all of Jim's videos from now on?
Introduce your dentist to the Dismal Jesters and to us. This 'dentist of war' sounds like an awesome man.
I'm pretty sure this is my favorite Squirty just because you refer this.... "style of play" as "Renegade Mode"
This was awesome!
I lol'd as soon as Jim finished his first sentence.
This guy's taking Roy off the grid!
Oh no, the Kraken has decided to consume Bus Simulators as well as Kerbal Space Program!
4 minutes in and this is my favorite video ever.
After this, the sales for Bus Driver Simulator will get a rocketing increase...
it would be awesome if there was a mod that made it more interactive and allowed you the option to run away, perhaps something silent hill esque.
Hail to the bus driver, baby.
This is more like "Fuck the Bus Simulator 2012." Well done! :)
Let me and the bus be one!
Holy shit! that elephant is a real kid's toyshop thing! I don't know the name of it, but it's definitely real. I have family in the netherlands and that was always the toy shop mascot
The name is Intertoys.
Bus Driver Not Driving Bus Simulator 2013!
You should play all the games medicated, never laughed this much with a Let's Play since Two Best Friends Play: Persona 4.
I feel sorry for that bus driver. He must be having a strange interlude.
Good gosh man you did this with the newer version of this game. Will others and I ever actually get to see you play these games correctly? I was looking forward to that. :S
Jim, I think you confused Bus Simulator with Stanley Parable.
not much bus simulation there, probably for the best
Better open world than GTA V! Why don't people make games more like this one? It's genius!
Good exploration.
This squirty play had me fucking crying!
Comedy Gold - 5 Stars *****
LOL Best Bus simulator let's play ever LOL
I love your German pronunciation, it's quite good, actually.
This was amazing. Are you ever gonna do more Super Best Guides?
Can painkillers guest star, or maybe co-host is the right word, on all the squirty plays?
That is a true open world game!
Very funny :)
Happy Wanksgiving!
Oh god, I thought these were called 'squirty plays', and I never watched 'cos I didn't know who squirty was. I've been a fool!.. Well at least now I have a good few hours of content to catch up on. :)
Hail to the bus driver,
Bus driver!
Bus driver!
Hail to the bus driver,
Bus driver man.
He yells and he cusses,
and smells up the busses,
Hail to the bus driver,
Bus driver man.
He steps on the clutch
and the toilet goes flush.
Hail to the bus driver,
Bus driver man.
Enjoyed this very much, but any chance of getting a follow-up with actual bus-driving ACTION!? (yes action needed to be in all caps)
Top-Quality Non-Content. I love it. Thank God for Jim Sterling.
This dentist sounds like a combination of The dentist from little shop of horrors and that madman from psychonauts.
Jim Sterling, high as fuck, driving buses, or not, still providing a better service than TFL.
