Family sedan

My favorite game soundtracks are either Tony Hawk ones or the GT3 or GT 4 soundtracks.

I was born during the "Bird Era" in Boston. I was eight when Larry Bird retired. Basketball fandom has been one of the biggest parts of my life. I have even ended friendships because people were trying to change me out of liking Boston sports. Kobe was pretty cool though.

I play NASCAR '99 sometimes for old time sake, but I'm way more into GT games.

I can't think of a racing game that had passenger cars in it before GT other than Cruisin' U.S.A.

I believe you're right about Gran Turismo. I can't think of a game that was like it before it.

I kept trading the race lead with a friend in NASCAR '99 I believe in 2000. It was a really high speed battle for position at Talladega, AL.

I don't care how much someone posts, unless it's like a thousand a day.

In NASCAR it's not about mods, it's about car setup.

Thanks Heatman.

Some of the story lines were depressing, like a teen girl whose friend died and now for some reason the Twisted Metal tourney will give the remaining girl purpose. I don't get it. I also didn't get why one guy had to have a bunch of his face sewn shut.

I was originally from the New England region, which includes Massachusetts and us New Englanders usually love sports, but to each his own.

Thanks Heatman. I'll check my video game drawer later.

I agree.

I'm saving up to get out of Virginia or move to a part of it that's worth emulating.

But I hate my region's culture so much that I'm trying to keep as much of my old New England identity as possible. Plus I don't like Rap that much.

Was The Man in the Yellow Raft based on that story?

What is DKC?

I'll assess if I even want to play on and if I do, I'll come up with a plan for how to win.

I just hate when everything is real narrow and I'm like, 'crap, where am I going?'

I'll take a break from GT for the next few days and go back to NBA Live '03. I love '03 so much because Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce had an 89 overall rating that year, it's the highest I remember him having and he's one of my all-time favorite players.

One had kind of a wilderness like Tail of the Dragon look to it. It looked kind of like Watkins Glen, NY circa 1951.

Cool, not really my style though. I like to game alone.

I know right?

Yeah, the pace of work was too fast and people were just trying to change me.

I've seen my brother play it, I just forget which Need For Speed it is.
