The gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is offering fans the ride of their life with a scripted narrative VR experience from a comedy series. "Project Badass," a four-minute VR episode that went live yesterday, uses never-before-seen footage to take viewers on an ultimate motorcycle stunt. Evel Knievel? Please. In "Project Badass" in VR, you hop on the back of Mac's motorbike and prepare to make history, speeding through smoke and off a ramp into the bosom of the Atlantic Ocean. When the stunt goes awry, will you and Mac survive? Hold your breath, bitches! Viewers can go to www.fxnetworks.com/projectbadass to watch a 360-degree experience of "Project Badass," as well as learn how to download the Jaunt VR App to watch on every major phone and VR headset, including Oculus, Samsung Gear V and Google cardboard devices.
"Project Badass" premiered last night, the same day It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returned with an all-new episode featuring a hilarious and epic VR storyline: "PTSDee" (Wednesday, February 15 at 10 PM ET/PT on FXX) - After finding out she's a male stripper's "rock bottom," Dee goes on a mission to prove she's the best thing that ever happened to him. Dennis takes over for the stripper with the help of his bag boy, Charlie. Meanwhile, Mac and Frank get sucked into a VR war game that causes Mac to develop his own case of PTSD.
