Driver's-Seat Driving Game Controller
RichardX writes "The folks at Real Virtual Car have taken an old car, hooked up a projector to the windscreen, USB on the steering and pedals, connected it all up to a PC and ended up with what may be the single greatest homemade games controller ever." Even a force-feedback steering wheel!
"Look, a cyclist! 30 points!"
"No, over there! On crutches! 100 points!"
Windshield sounds so much better, like it is some kind of protective device that makes you invincible, allowing you to run over pedestrians with gleeful abandon. Windscreen on the other hand sounds like something that could barely keep flies out of your automobile.
I Am My Own Worst Enemy
Any real car should be able to do 70 MPH in 2nd gear...
I drive a '71 SIIA 88" Land Rover. Not only do I have a cracked windscreen, but I also have a tyre on my bonnet.
I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up.
All cars have game controllers -- they're called steering wheels, brakes, and accelerators. With the appropriate combination of l33t combo moves, you can pretty much win the following games on your morning commute (in Atlanta):
- Gran Turismo: I-285 Edition
- Need For Speed: GA400 Gridlock
- Project Middle Finger Racing
- Grand Theft Auto: Midtown Street Parking Edition
In Ohio, you have a car game unavailable in most parts of the country (although LA just introduced it, from what I hear):
- Freeway Sniper Spy Hunter

Not that I agree, but it seems like everyone here makes their decisions according to the laws of microeconomics rather than what they really want to do.
Not only that, but it seems everyone generalizes on the behavior of everyone else who posts here.
