Did you ride/see the Gamer Transit Bus?

doczero

So, you may have seen us, we had the big grey bus, playing video games inside. Most of the time it was Burnout 3, as it's just the most surreal game to play while riding down the road taking corners.
We gave away a few BAWLS, T-Shirts, swag, etc. Hopefully people enjoyed some of the shuttle service that we ran for a while.

There are photos online at our site: gamertransit.com

If you have any photos of the bus, or anyone in the Gamer Transit Authority shirts, please feel free to send them to either aaron@gamertransit.com or sean@gamertransit.com and we'll add them to the gallery.

I saw the bus...it's a great idea and I could tell that you put a lot of work and effort into the bus. I was the guy who sat on the floor for about 15 minutes and watched the three of ya play Burnout on Sat afternoon.

Hope you get a sponsor or seven, bro.

While I did like PAX last year a lot, this year, I felt like something was holding me back from appreciating it. So-many-things have changed and I don't know if I can nail it down. But I really loved vollunteering on the GTA bus. Putting it together. Designing screen brackets and then watching my design be blow torched into reality and seeing it work was awsome. But this all happened before PAX. Meeting up with Doc Zero and Seth420. Meeting new people like Type-O and T Monkey. Both who kept teaching me that apearances can be decieving. On the flipside I think that PAX gives people an excuse or a reason to dress up and that is really cool too. To come as a character. To contribute to a cause. To vollunteer as an enforcer. To help with a Gamer Bus. A reason and a cause that doesn't involve killing poor Arab people far away. Something that brings people together. Something cool not scary. An encouragement that "YOU ARE NOT ALONE" not a rebuke of "stay in the arcade" and/or "stay on the internet". I hope that next year I can help bring more of what I and others enjoyed, like the GTA Bus ( I think you guys should call it The DeathTrap) like the costumes, like the old games like the laid back chill parties.

I registered here just so I could respond to this - it almost made me cry.

It was weird to wake up this morning and not go to PAX. I saw the bus but didn't have time to get on, thanks for the offer though

Hey, we're planning on being there next year too. Are there any other gaming events that you go to? Big LAN parties? Console parties, groups of your friends getting together for a night to play video games? let us know, we might show up with free stuff for all!

I saw the bus a few times. Primer gray with a few stickers on one side, right?

I think it was a cool idea...but you guys need more designs until you get more "sponsors". Perhaps some big Xbox/Sony/Nintendo logos or something.

The bummer was that they petitioned the PAX forums to send in pictures for them to put on the bus. Hardly anyone responded.

I'll dig something up for you next year. You are bringing the bus next year, right?

Glad to see: you got the electrical situation worked out. DJDM represented. It's a crying shame the Drunken Master wasn't on the concert bill. Maybe next year.

doczero

Thanks Slacktron. This bus, or another yet to be built, will be at PAX EVERY year. PAX and the West Coast Supertrip were the inspiration for our entire business model.

There should also be some great footage of us on the PAX DVD. BTW, to the DVD guys, you absolutely rock, and you're welcome to any GTA event we do.

TypeO

Oh man I hope they lose that footage of Tmonkey handing me my ass in Burnout3.

I don't know how you can drive that Car Of Bricks you used in Burnout3, man. It handles like a cow - not that this stopped you from kicking my butt up and down the main drag between the hotel and the Meydenbauer.

Curses!

TypeO

check your messages, buddy.


I sulked HUGELY when I found out you guys had gone home. My best times at PAX were had with you guys on the Bus and off, and I'm all pre-excited about next year. Watch your mail for a Paypal e-cheque (omg canadian).

Maybe we can avoid dumping this money into the vents. You know, if by "we" we mean "YOU", Captain Coordination.

Type0 Tmonkey doc and grazier

I can't wait to see what you do with it next year.. and i really hope you keep this one as i have great memories of it!

Oh i KNOW thats not about that quarter (I know I know, thats like 3 bucks Canuck money, but its a gumball here)! dont think i cant get that out, i have a screwdriver and a hammer!

futility

did you guys have insurance by the way?

tmonkey

Yes, we did, really expensive insurance at that.

apotheos

I rode the bus. It was awesome, but I think more emphasis on actual seats would be a good next step.

tmonkey

We still have 2 more benches to add in, as well as 2 more console stations, and a mini fridge.

As for the paint, we're adding silver stripes trimmed in blue pin striping. Also, so more adornments of our logo on the bus.

Hey, thanks man! There will absolutely be some awesome footage of the Supertrip - so thanks Sean and Aaron and anyone whose name I'm forgetting because I'm terrible with names. I just wanted to say that the panels and the concerts were great, but it was all of you who made shooting this thing a total blast. Without all of you guys we'd just be shooting scenery.

That was about as much fun as I've ever had shooting anything, exhausting, but fun as all hell. So from the entire video crew - THANK YOU!

The bus definitely added something good to the event. I only rode it once, but I enjoyed it. It was pretty sweet already, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what it looks like by next year.

Thanks for the ride!
