    Oh man. We had just gotten a PS1 and Need for Speed. We lived in a little apartment over a beer store. Friday night would come and we’d spend the entire weekend racing each other and drinking way too much. We’d let the loser of the race stay on and the winner would sit out. That way we all got practice and got really, really good. Good times.

      I love this. Out of curiosity, do you play any modern racing games, like maybe the Forza Horizon series? If you’re still buds with those buds, no reason you couldn’t be having this kind of experience online (assuming y’all can find the time). I am curious what all the former NFS fans play these days. There isn’t anything QUITE like it but a few modern games get close.

        I don’t have the time to play many games now but I recently bought Dirt 5 for my arcade fix and Dirt Rally 2 for my sim fix. I’ve always loved rally games.

        And yeah, still super close with one of those guys. When I can find the time, we spend our time playing Day Z, Arma Reforger, Sea of Thieves. He plays Forza, but I’m trying to get gud at DR2 before getting him into it so I can win at least a handful of games first.
