I love great performance stories – not just racing – but stories of human achievement from all endeavors. They are all stories of our human experience. The heroes have their day, the goats get their place in history, and everyone else provides the context against which such things are measured. I also enjoy the way, over time, that factual aspects of such stories start to blur and take on aspects of urban legend even if …

My best time for this installment is down to 7:15.563. At this stage it takes far longer to get a faster lap than before. The days of just going out and learning to do some section a bit better and setting a new faster lap are over.

Personally, I never buy the stuff. Only use what is lying about and even then, I find myself carrying too many spares. Always thinking that around the next corner there will be a worse Boss fight. Wait a minute…are we not on the same page?
First, a quick shout out to the sim rally drivers out there. A collective lot that make squirrel-eating Uncle Jub and Aunt Jez seem like candidates for the White House. Rallying rocks – Yowrr!
At least yearly I travel to the back of beyond, but in 2009 a costly adventure seems wasteful. Furthermore, a less than smooth month in Uzbekistan moved Russia to the bottom of my visit-someday list. However, thanks to a GoGamer special, I’m visiting the Ukraine for the price of two days airport parking. To be more precise, I’m exploring the area around Prypiat in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. It’s true, radiation and mutants are some …
No, the Apolcalypse is not Four Fat Chicks’ forum being hacked or the front page disappearing. My post Fallout 3 Apocalypse is a severe case of Gamer’s Drift.
I had never heard of the Nurburgring Nordschleife (North loop) until I started driving computer sims. That’s not unusual for a racetrack in Germany but this is a pretty notorious racetrack. At most tracks there are a handful of corners to learn and the job of finding the braking and turn in points, the maximum speed that can be carried through the turns, and finding the driving line itself almost seems doable. In contrast the …
Originally, driving games were not a genre I pursued. Even a minimal dose from the annual demo of the Need For Speed series was enough to satisfy the urge for some arcade like driving action. I’ve always felt real life motor sports were silly, harebrained endeavours but maybe that’s due to lack of proper exposure. European racing is difficult to find in North American media, and even things like NASCAR are about as far away …
Although our travels across the Wasteland may seem impossibly grim, Charon brings a smile to my face every time I turn around.
