    Not that I am going around on warfare.

    But it teaches a lot that can be used on things unrelated on warfare, if you get to understand it properly.

    Oh yeah, totally forgot about the driving somehow. That seemed to be what most people disliked was how difficult the driving was. I personally thought that was cool though, it added a nice challenge and it was way more rewarding once you got good at it. Being able to drift around and weave in and out of lanes without exploding and/or flipping over 10 times with a banshee is a good feeling.

    Unrelated, perhaps I'm too old but I find it funny hearing 15 y.o. guys talking about what they miss about the old days of gaming

    It's funny, I'm only 19 (about to be 20), but I vividly remember the 90s being awesome.

    Maybe that's why I value the SNES over the NES?

    Yeah, it can be applied to roughly anything where being competitive is part of the ... landscape, but you really do have to truly grasp everything to adapt it to... let's say the corporate world.

    Exactly, for example, some of the strategies I use in video games, are derived from the Art of War.

    The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi is also an interesting book, very similar to the Art of War.
    You might want to read it.

    Newer consoles should be bigger and heavier than previous ones, otherwise, where's the improvement?

    I think I got that on the freeway or one of the really straight streets on the starting island. It's hard to do though, a lot of cars like to randomly turn in front of you for some reason.

    This console is too sleek and slim! I demand a refund!

    I think I'll try it at night over by the airport. Low traffic.

    You value it because the graphics look much better .

    Probably so. You must approve of the DSi XL then .

    Have you tried in the airport with a slow bike?

    EDIT: ah, I see you'll try there.

    Nah, I was joking. I have one and since I don't really take portable consoles outside, it's better than previous models for me.
