Man, went looking for N4 in the town I am laid up in for my job last
night, no go. But score System Shock 2 for nine bucks, yeah.

Get home today, head off to the mall (aaarrrrrgh, hate the mall, no
parking, too many people dawdling around, arrrrrrgh) to the only EB in
town. Scan the shelves for N4, nothing. Wander over to the counter and
see a carton of new arrivals EB dude is putting out. Wooohooo! 1nsane!
YEAH!

Grab it, then ask about N4. "Are you on the 'list'?" "Um, no... errr I
mean yup. Wait, nah, I cannot lie, no" "Oh, well there is one left in the
box that is not spoken for. This stuff just showed up half an hour ago."

YEAH!

Anyways, I feel like a pirate hauling all this fine booty home today. :)

Dis is going to be one busy weekend! SS2, 1nsane, and N4. Sigh. Can a man
handle this much *** goodness at once????

The EB by me ordered seven N4 sims and sold them all in one hour.  I got the
last two for my brother and me.  You'd think that they would have ordered more
with all the hype.
Oh well....

Heres some advice!

Run 1nsane,

do some mad & cunning stunts

watch the replay in slow motion, and enjoy the amazing warping effects of
the vehicle chassis, and the bouncing around of the poor old driver!

Jolly cool game!

I don't think it was hyped at all. The EB and Software Etc's near me
have nothing displayed. They have out big ONI stand-ups, and some PS2
crap. The only release info I saw regarding N4 was here.

    hehe...  I would have said that I'm on the list then complained when my
name wasn't found ;-)

    I took a 100 mile trip yesterday.  I went to Canandaigua's Wall-Mart,
then to several stores in Rochester.  Nobody had N4. I found N1999 and N3 I
also found N2000 and NH, but not N4.  I was all set to start home when I
seen Circuit city. while sitting at a traffic light.  I crossed lanes to the
right hand turns only lane and headed for it.  Didn't think it would be
there and in fact it was the only copy on the shelf :-)

    GPL has a site that lists just about every site there is for GPL.  Does
NASCAR Racing have one?    I'm after a fixed setup league, something that I
can use to get used to NASCAR again before I join one of the old leagues.

    I started ruining with TOBCO back in 96 on Hawaii. Being my first online
league I didn't last long as I was just like all the other new drivers.  Any
case, since then I've raced in many NASCAR leagues with the majority of them
on TEN.  In late 98 early 99 I quit all the NASCAR leagues and started
running in some GPL leagues.  To date I'm a two time champion and on my way
for my third and I've run a GPL Invitational league.

    I'm not going to quit GPL as it holds more of a challenge, but I do miss
the constant close racing of NASCAR.  So,  Is there a site that lists NASCAR
leagues?

That is like my story.  Although I pre-ordered Insane and N4, but
checked out SS2 on the discount rack.  I reluctantly didn't pick up SS2
because I *can't* handle that much *** goodness at once :-)

<aside>  I unlocked the Wrecker in Insane.  It's a FWD car and raced
Greece in an off-road race.  There's one sharp little hill before the
road you have to get over, remember I'm a FWD trying to go up a hill.  I
locked the differential and backed it up the hill.  LOL.  The next lap I
learnt to keep the momentum up.  It's great fun!
