Hey guys did you know that Skills is good at racing games? I did not. You know who is also good at racing? Danica Patrick. Do you know where I might be able to see more of Danica Patrick racing?

Have you tried http://www.godaddy.com/danica/grudge/dream/bees/blowfish/ghost/gotta_go_fast.wmv

Hey no biggie, like I said I completely forgot and I figured you guys were in the middle of a race so I didn't wanna interrupt. :) It's all good.

I am so sad that i missed this. Hopefully it happens again sometime soon so that i can beat skills and go fast.

Someone to challenge me would be good.

Now that I've got my controls configured in a way that doesn't bend my hand into non-euclidean shapes I've put some time into SART and managed to actually win a few races. Just unlocked Nights and the Shinobi guy if that's any kind of useful metric. The idea of reaching the 140-star unlockable is like a distant dream.

Is USE MAGIC DRIFT POWER TO INEXPLICABLY GO FASTER BY RIDING THE BRAKE a thing in modern racing games? I thought most of us were going in more or less blind but everybody else apparently instinctively knew they needed to Drive Sideways To Win, while I futilely looked for a mythical "boost meter" that appeared to be absent from my HUD. :(

Drifting has been a kart racer staple since like 1997. And has been the SEGA beneficial racing game mechanic thing since like 1993, and at least featured in their shit since...what. 1986?

So yeah, modern games maybe I guess?

Yeah even mario kart does that shit except it doesn't really involve braking so much as holding the I'M SOMEHOW MAKING MY KART HOP NOW WE TURNING SHARPLY button and moving the direction opposite of how you originated your hop turn thing.

Sure, as a thing that is present, but not, in my experience, something you literally have to do to be able to finish any races ever. But then, as you might imagine, we don't get a lot of practice in kart racers over here in The Land Of Non-Proprietary Hardware, so kindly forgive my ignorance of the genre.

And here I had you pegged as a Skunny Kart master.

Six stars away from unlocking Gilius.

Progress at a standstill.

Rage building.

WANNA DRIVE THAT DWARFMOBILE

UPDATE: GOT THAT DWARF

DWARF STATUS: HAS A GRYPHON

HNNNNNNGH

Ok so hey.

IN NEW ADVENTURES OF F2P GREATNESS.

STAR CONFLICT.

On steam.

Plays like a slightly simplified Freelancer. Works well with mouse and keyboard! Lasers! Spaceships.

IS ACTUALLY AWESOME. And I'm not just saying that. Omagnus can back me up. There's shooting and pew pew and oh man.

We should do it some night!

MY NAME IS OZYMANDIASSIST, KING OF KINGS

LOOK ON MY BUFFS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR

Game is kind of fun, it turns out.

So for anyone who doesn't have a copy of Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed for Steam, I just grabbed a 4-pack for $12 on Green Man Gaming. Is anyone wanting a copy?

It should be noted that a patch today added some dude from Rome Total War, so you can get in your Roman airplane and throw bees at Danica Patrick in your Sonic game.

DISREGARD SPACESHIPS, ACQUIRE BOOSTS

Mah nigga

I don't think you realize how good this is.

There are lasers.

And missiles.

AND SPACESHIPS.

And explosions and

I do! :)

But no bees. BEES. BEEEEEEES

I do like explosions. They are like boosts in several important ways.

Term, check your PM.

I gave the guy from Total War a shot in a race last night and immediately bursted out in laughter when I used his All-Star item. Freakin shields surrounded him and every time I hit the button spears popped out at all angles. Looked like something out of 300 or God of War.

Oh dang Term, I would gladly take one. I was bummed I couldn't join the karting shenanigans last week.

My steam ID is chanic, friend me!

Edit: Whoops. Not Term, Supersonic. Go Go Reading Comprehension! It worked though, Term already friended me!

I don't have the copy, Supersonic does!

And will add! Even though no game.
