SEGA Racing Games - You Don't Just Play at Steering, You Live It

Rarely Seen Footage of SEGA’s Sonic Kart 3DX Game Surfaces

Put simply, it’s a more basic version of Sonic Drift where players raced against each other in the S1 Grand Prix mode via network connectivity on Sonic Cafe.
When you’re tired of being pitted against each other, players can also race against the best times on the network in a Time Attack mode.
High scores were uploaded to the Cafe for others players to see and race against.

I miss being a kid and talking to other kids about Midnight Club vs. Need For Speed (around 2003-2007 ish).

The two kids who lived nearby would laugh at me for playing Crazi Taxi while they had Grand Theft Auto games like III, Vice City, and San Andreas. I would have loved to own those back then, but my parents wouldn't let me until I was older.

Now that I'm an adult, none of my current friends play video games that much. I'm just the oddball who tries to brag about video game accomplishments that they don't care about. By they, I mean one. I only have one friend in real life.

By they, I mean one. I only have one friend in real life.

We all have the one best friend that we treasure. so that's understandable.

I miss being a kid too.
But I don't miss the school life.
Have to do homeworks and study... urgh ... especially before the exams.
School was fun only because I met my friends there.
Learning something new in school was also enjoyable I guess, but all those exams made it stressful sometimes.

People come.. People go.
That's how life it is.
And there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't have any real life friends to play game with too now, other than my sons.

5 Ingredients for a Great Crazy Taxi Movie



Article : http://segabits.com/blog/2011/03/04/5-ingredients-for-a-great-crazy-taxi-movie/

I'm not sure how I missed this. These are the actors I think would be perfect for the four main roles:

Axel - Tom Holland
B.D. Joe - Daniel Kaluuya
Gina - Bella Thorne
Gus - Vince Vaughn

I would totally watch that movie regardless of who the actors were though.

I always imagined Jim Carey as Axel back then, but he's too old for that now.
Agree with Tom Holland now.
Also Terry Crews for B.D. Joe, but then again he's too old too for that now.
