I will be running the Steam remake of the infamous Penn & Teller video game DESERT BUS (DESERT BUS VR) all day today.
If you want to get on the bus as a passenger, befriend me on Steam (Planettom), load the DESERT BUS VR program (It's free!)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/638110/Desert_Bus_VR/ (Windows only, sorry)
Right click on me on your Steam friend's list, and JOIN GAME.
Despite the name, you do not need a VR headset to run Desert Bus VR.
Is this an April Fool's joke? Well, yes and no, I am doing it as an April Fool's joke,
but I am really doing it and you can really get on the bus as a virtual passenger.
Perhaps you do not know the story of Desert Bus.
You can read about it here on Wikipedia.
