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.

    There could not be a greater cartoon on the face of the planet.

    I think I might have to indulge myself when this hits! And speaking of the Simpsons, I just bought a wonderful book called The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer. I read one of the essays at Barnes and Noble, and I was wonderfully surprised. The editors of this book put together some brilliant essays concerning the Simpsons' relation to some serious philosophical issues. Seeing as how we nerds tend to like things like the Simpsons and Philosophy, I figured you guys might not mind a quick review.

    Also look out for the Simpsons Season 1 DVD boxed set, 25% off at Amazon.com. :)
