Bus Simulator for Consoles Is Like Video Game ASMR

Of the many games I played at PAX East 2019, I didn't expect Bus Simulator would be one of my favorites, but yet, here we are.

Previously available only to PC gamers, Bus Simulator comes to consoles later this year, and I had a chance to try it out here in Boston. I've played other simulator games like Farming Simulator and Train Simulator, so I had an inkling of what to expect.

If you're unfamiliar, Bus Simulator is exactly what its name promises, but even more in-depth that it would lead you to believe. Yes, you drive busses. In fact, there are dozens of real-life, officially licensed bus models to drive, but it's more than just driving from stop to stop.

There's a story here: the fictitious city in which Bus Simulator is set doesn't have good public transportation. It's up to you to help rebuild the infrastructure for a thriving public transportation system through–you guessed it–driving busses.

Our Spoiler-Free Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s Season 6 Premiere

This is a spoiler-free early review of the Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season 6 premiere, which was shown to fans at WonderCon ahead of its May 10 debut.

Agents of SHIELD fans at WonderCon got a Marvel-ous treat; not only was the show's Season 6 premiere date (May 10) announced, they also got an early look at the season opener, which was directed by series star Clark Gregg.

If you've already caught the Season 6 trailers that Marvel and ABC have been running since January, it's no spoiler to say that while our beloved Agent Phil Coulson is (as far as we know), truly, officially dead following the events of Season 5, Clark Gregg still shows up on camera, as well as behind it. Coulson appears as a hologram giving Mac leadership advice, but we're also introduced to a mysterious man in black who shares Coulson's face but, when challenged that he's "from SHIELD," coldly retorts, "never heard of it."
