Deus Ex, without a doubt. Every new level felt like it was full of endless possibilities, and the mix of several genres was like nothing I’d ever played before. I loved the rewarding exploration and its implications on game play.

Just be aware that not everybody is actually running high-beams. I got flashed several dozen times on a single car trip because people somehow kept confusing the regular headlights on my rental car for high-beams. I started flashing people back just so they could see the difference.

I’m definitely no fan of high-beam vigilantees. I once drove a rental Impala on an extended trip, and quickly got tired of everyone confusing my regular headlights for high-beams. I was getting flashed so frequently that I would reflexively flash back to show that I wasn’t running high-beams. Kind of ironic that I had…

I actually take advantage of that principle on the freeway. After several near-misses and an actual rear-end collision, I’ll turn on my hazards if traffic suddenly slows down extremely, then leave them on until the car behind me is no longer a potential collision risk. Every time I’ve done that, the car behind me…

For non-flatbed tow trucks, a competent tow truck driver will attach remote brake lights to vehicles being towed.

Despite the fact that there are only 3 factions

Not true. The greatest motorsport innovation was the motor, because as bicycle racing has proven, having wheels is not enough to make something a motorsport. And as motorboat racing, drone racing, and hovercraft racing have proven, it’s not necessary for a motorsport to involve vehicles with wheels.

That explains why people make fun of me and my F-244.

As soon as I saw RealDoll mentioned, I knew what the item would inevitably be. Nothing else would have made sense.

If the truck can go backward, there’s no reason to make the trains do that. Just have the trains past the station continue to move forward, instead of forcing trains on their way in to back out. Once they’re out of the way, run the truck down the track.

I’m impressed. They managed to figure out how to make a Hummer look comparatively more stylish.

Just great. So now even cars can have epilepsy.

While that’s true, I felt that the audio recordings in System Shock 2 integrated into the game much better than the recordings in Bioshock did.

Big tires can help in that case, but big wheels don't.

Yeah, normally Valve acquires developers for the games they’re making. That’s clearly not the case here, which is unusual.

That’s the complete opposite to how Valve works. Counterstrike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and DOTA are all the result of acquiring the studios that were developing them. Buying Campo Santo for reasons other than their existing IP is actually out of the ordinary for Valve.

Agreed. In my case, I used to live in the desert, where the summers were “holy shit!” hot, and the winters were biting cold, so for me both heating and cooling are very important—enough so that any car I buy must have both. When it’s 120+ outside, I really need effective AC, but when it’s cold enough out that pipes…

Parking uphill is no big deal. I’ve successfully roll-started a car in reverse before. 

It’s also much harder to accidentally lock your keys in the car.

This was also true in the US at one point. The owner's manual for my Galaxie advertised backup lamps as an optional feature.
