Combining The Simpsons with MarioCart

Looks like it will be extremely similar to Mario Cart, but with a heavy Simpsons theme. I remember the hours we would play mariocart at college (usually while drunk). This is one of the only ways to improve that game ..." Just a blurb right now, but "Sunday Driving mode" is the sort of thing I wished more games offered -- the ability to explore and poke at the virtual world without obsessing over levels and points.

    Sunday driving mode is cool.. but what about Saturday Morning driving mode?

    You start the game in this mode, and all of a sudden all the games sounds get WAY to loud. Then you notice that your view of the road starts going blurry. Then you notice that all the colors seem to be REALLY bright...

    The icing on this mode, of course, is the fact that when you "turn" left, your car doesnt start turning until a few secs later...

    With this mode, everyone will be able to experience the joy of hangovers and having a bit to much alcohol STILL in their system after a nice night of lan partying...
