I bought this game yesterday for the computer. I wanted a game for my laptop, and I needed something that you don’t need a mouse for. Something I can play “on the go” if you will. I figured a racing game would be perfect for that. And why not the newest NFS? I love some of the older NFS games. This game, is no different. It’s underground street racing, a la Fast and the Furious. Almost all import cars, and you get to upgrade them with turbos, body kits, neon, vinyl kits, all the normal “ricer” things.

I gotta say, this game is just plain fun. The graphics are great (stressing out my nVidia GeForce 4200 go to the max). And you can customize the shit out of your cars. A bunch of different race modes, including the ultimate “Drag” mode where drag race down a busy street. Did I mention you can customize the shit out of your car?

I was up till 1:00am before I knew it, playing this game last night. Good times.

HUH?!?
So, I’m playing NFS last night, and I get a chat invitation from someone. I look, and it’s someone I know, but haven’t talked to in a long time. I won’t say who it was, because some people that read my blog know this person, and I don’t want to imbarrass them. So anyway, I get this chat invitation and say hello. I quickly realize that this isn’t the person I know, it’s someone else with their username. So I start chatting with them. Turns out, it’s this persons Mom, and she’s manic. I talked to a buddy of mine after this happened last night (he knows her) and he told me that when she’s manic, she’s really bad, and that she was probably peaking at the time she was chatting with me. It was hysterical, because at first I thought it was someone fucking around. Plus, I’m pretty sure she was hitting on me, lol. She asked me if I was hungry because she was making lasagna. And she told me that she was a “motorcycle party Mom” and that people tell her she’s good looking for her age. At first, I thought we were just chatting, till she threw in her height, eye and hair color, weight, etc. I was cracking up. The IM chat request minimized my game, so I ended up quiting and playing poker with Clay for a few minutes. (took 150.00 off him BTW) I could barely concentrate, the whole situation was really funny.

I got an appology from the person who’s Mom it was last night. To you I say, don’t worry about it. It’s no big deal. It kind of made my night!
