I think the movie did the same for me though I was focused only on the one car;
I can't even recall riding in or seeing any car before seeing the DeLorean rumbling out of the GMC Value Van on my family's big screen TV back in the early 90s, when I was about 4 or 5.

I'm so used to multiple segmented islands that it just looks so weird...
Also jarring to see mostly green when I'm used to a good chunk of desert, though I know this' basically supposed to be 2 counties that are expies of California's greener areas, not the whole state.

I seriously expect at least one online game to comprise of 16 helicopters combing the entirety of the map...
Wonder if the police copters have usable searchlights.

I'm quasi-fortunate in that my college classes don't start until the 24th;
Quasi because the online version starts on a Tuesday, when I have a Tuesday-Thursday schedule.
Anybody have the slightest clue if the special-special edition preorder comes with a speedy delivery?

Though I do worry about what happened to the little dude after that impressive dive, a Noper fleeing with hardly any concern about injury seems fitting.

That would've been hilariously awesome...
I'd say the blatant mention of LA would require some tinkering into "LS", but it seems they're outright being paradoxical with at least one song having "California" right in the title.

I don't quite get what's being spoiled about the game...
If anything, the "spoilers" are just hints about what's in the game, and while it's fun to just stumble upon features, it's nice to have a warning as to what can/can't be done, just so you don't get your hopes too high.

While it's nice to see a bunch of names I recognize and a couple singers/bands I wouldn't expect them to use, I do wish they'd find some way to integrate a custom soundtrack for the PS3 versions, since somehow the PC and Xbox variants tend to have it...
It's a shame of all the things they're making expies for, KROQ…

I never knew #8 was actually an advertisement;
I remember my dad pulling it up on the computer sometime in the 90s, and with the way he talked about it, I figured it was something a fan made...

I'm only doing this so none of you get your hopes up too high and then smashed into the ground, but do remember there's more than one way to collect spaceship parts...

I first saw the borderline-O face mannequins wearing those with a full body first out in Hungary... I forgot exactly where they popped up next, but I recall seeing one in the US.

I've come to notice how I always pick the most random thing to get excited for in the trailers and pictures...
This time, the Bel Air expy briefly shown in that clip was what did it here.

Chances are these people are being forced to pose at gunpoint and they'll never actually get to play the games, but at least those pretend-playing can say they got to fiddle around with a Mauser arcade lightgun.

Yale brought up a point I've been contemplating about lately;
You never really hear about people exploring places in their cars anymore, and I think it's somewhat depressing.

You missed the perfect opportunity to use this as an article picture, methinks.

"Because I like space."

That's all it took for me to realize why I feel it's appropriate it has yellow eyes.

Sounds a lot like the soldier/character system of the Star Wars Battlefront games, which makes me wonder if another multiplayer mode will be like the "Hero Assault" mode on the 2nd Battlefront game...
Having a mode where you can duke it out as all the characters is practically obligatory in a game like this.

I figured that was the reason...
Hungary's Vignettes are basically the same thing, though I really hope they aren't supposed to be a toll for *all* Hungarian roads, since most of them could only be comfortably driven on with something with rally suspension.

Since they look like these dudes to a great degree, it's really hard to find them creepy.
Even though I've heard they're scavengers and thus situationally carnivorous, apparently their mandibles aren't sharp enough to do much, which'd explain the cat looking so cozy next to his foreign new buddy.

I don't suppose they'd be up for having visitors at the design center, would they?
I'm coincidentally flying into LA tomorrow, and staying in Hawthorne.
Never realized how many companies own property in and immediately around what I always figured was a sleepy city.
