Combining The Simpsons with MarioCart
FortKnox writes: "The game Simpson's Road Rage was just announced for the Nintendo Game Cube (it'll also be available on PS2 & XBox). 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.
Why is this rated +4, funny? If the poster is describing an experience where he gamed and drank all night long, then left the LAN party the next morning, then he is likely describing driving drunk...If he is describing driving the day after (ie. assuming he got some sleep), then his description still fits that of impaired driving.
I don't think impaired driving is funny, particulary because of the terrible loss of life that can result.
