Yeah, at first glance I thought these might have been taken from some cheesy Windows 98 racing game manual.

@achilleselbow: Only in terms of music that sold merchandise at Hot Topic during my early high school years. And the groups of people that enjoyed each band tended to have a lot of overlap, in my experience...

@MyNameIsNobody: Yeah, US version of TXR3 is all messed up! The unit conversion is screwy, the car names are off, and there's the annoying fact you can never get 100% completion without using a cheat device... but still a great time killer.

@achilleselbow: I supposed it could have been worse; you could have been reminded of ICP somehow and tried to bring those horrible assholes out from hiding under years of shame, denial and old Hot Topic shirts.

@Br3akw3y: Drift 3. I already had Zero.

Just bought these gems from Gamestop last weekend:

@CptTripps: yeah, i worked at a club-run shotgun range for 4 years doing everything from scoring registered shoots to cleaning up the clubhouse.

@taniquetil: Unless you count the dumbass who bought it to show off at his local gun club, said "watch this" and had the barrel flip up into his face and break his wrist.

@Rockerode: No, you are right - but as this story points out I don't think it's confined to America.

@jet4me2049: Well, when Steve Jobs unveils his new cyborg form and announces his plans to enslave us all through Apple products, I'm sure he will want the title applied to him retroactively.

@tetracycloide: Offensive or not, the fact is there is a remarkably large segment (I am in no way saying ALL or even MAJORITY) of people living in Japan that spend money on this sort of thing.

If you're serious about showtunes in your action movies, this is for you.

@genomecop: You must be one of the lucky ones. In my personal experience, nobody has EVER had a "good"experience at the genius bar at our local Apple store.

I wish I could find Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 for PS2 for a decent price on eBay. Nobody beats GameStop's $2.99.

Approximating Katy Perry's voice in real life requires a carton-a-day smoking habit, clothing that is especially constraining in the upper torso around the diaphragm, and essing a whole lot of dirty dirty dees.

Next, gold Audis and chrome Mercedes mysteriously burn to the ground. Jewel-encrusted Ferrari 458's not so mysteriously burn to the ground.

@Ian Gazzotti: Yeah actually, spent a LOT of time learning about Italian work culture from the Bell/Agusta 609 project my dad and several of our family friends worked on. He would spend every other month over there for 4 years attempting to keep them on schedule and minimize their production errors and accidents, but…
