VDrift: Three confessions, an exaltation and a warning
I don’t play racing games. I’ve been driving for decades, and so it’s not really that appealing. I mean, if I wanted to race a car, I’d just make the arrangements and do the real thing. A racing game just isn’t far enough detached from reality to amuse my sense of imagination. And I’m not a gearhead at all, so it’s only an oblique interest to start with. Heck, I even had to look up drift racing on Wikipedia so I could figure out what it was.
But I found a deb for VDrift on GetDeb.net the other day and dropped it into the screenshot as a lark. And then I started playing a little more, and figured out how to actually drift the cars, and now I can’t quit it. It has actually dethroned Warzone 2100 as my amusement of choice. And that’s saying something.
