What makes you think we had a library that had a video game section if I said we lived in the middle of nowhere and an hour away from the nearest video game store?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the closest library to our old house up there just figured out how to install windows XP on their systems.
I mean we played a ton of different games, but we also lived in the middle of nowhere and we were lucky to buy a new game once every 6 months. Those games got a lot of replays simply because we didn’t have access to a big library of games. We would trade disks with kids at school occasionally, but for the most part we only had like 10-15 games for our PS2 at any given time. Had to sell games we didn’t play much anymore to afford new ones. Such is the life of poor people living an hour away from the nearest game store at the time lol
Top of the line suspension. There are actually multiple spots on the track where they will briefly be entirely airborne. It’s where a lot of rider crash actually. If you don’t land perfectly you can very easily lose the bike. There are lots of slow motion shots of two sliders flying over a crest side by side and both going airborne next to each other. Absolute insanity.
No what’s insane is these riders will fly past spectators mere inches from a wall at speeds upwards of 200mph.
The highest recorded speed of the riders on one of the straights is 206mph I believe. The record for highest average speed of a lap (which is nearly 38 miles long) was 136mph in a little over 16 minutes.
Insane doesn’t even begin to describe these riders and that race.
Midnight club 3 dub edition was THE game my brother and I played to the point the disk stopped reading eventually. That was a sad day.
If you’re getting into motorsports in general and you liked rally I might recommend checking out the isle of Mann tt. It’s the single most deadly motorsports event held each year. It averages more than two and a half deaths every year. Last year was super rare in that nobody died. Last time that happened was like 2012 I think. The most insane race car drivers in the world will tell you that nobody is more batshit crazy that the Isle of man riders. Even rally drivers look at them and think they are nuts.
If you need fake Internet points to motivate you to be a good person then you are probably not a good person.
I’m not saying you specifically OP, but just in general. If karma was the only reason someone was civil on reddit that gives off the same vibes as the people who ask why we aren’t out raping and murdering if we don’t believe in God.
Any mixed class “racing” adds inherent risk but mixing 2 ton+ metal boxes and 500 pound motorcycles seems like an unnecessary risk.
I still think it should be up to the rider to decide if they want to take that risk, but I can understand not wanting to deal with it as the track runners.
This was how I felt when the post about the PS2 turning 25 came by a few days ago. What the fuck happened.
Why is everything worse now lol
