GPL..What took so long??

Well after all these years as a oval guy I bit on GPL a couple weeks ago, I didnt think it would ever come around for me...but its starting to. This is old news to most I understand..the excitement of SOME kind of accomplishment after several nites of inventing new curse words for my cars. I will admit, I never understood the "addiction" til the last 5 sleepless nites or so....my name is Greg..and I AM a GPL addict.....ok...as you were gentlemen...(I just had a rather fruitful evening on GPL and had to shout it out.....other people just woudlnt understand!!) Greg +145.78 with a slow moving bullet

I've seen it before, but for some reason, this time this thread just cracked me up... What are the 12 steps? Line, Smoothness, Must make amends to someone you've punted... etc. It is nice to know though that you're not the only adult that spends a high percentage of their free time driving their computer. :) Eric

I've posted this on other forums - hope you enjoy it. The Stages of GPL Addiction Stage 1 - You hear about this &#8220;game&#8221;. How could everyone rave so much? Never mind, you know that all gamers think that their's is the best. Stage 2 - You see some screenshots from Papyrus. Hmm, doesn&#8217;t look too outstanding. Stage 3 - You get it or try it out. Get in the car and accelerate and -- wham, the rush and sound of simulated speed is intoxicating. You almost feel the chair you are sitting in being pushed from behind. Stage 4 - You enter the first turn and MERDE, what do we have here? Ice on the track? Or maybe we were going too fast? What the hell kind of game is this that is so hard and frustrating? Stage 5 - You realize that it isn&#8217;t a &#8220;game&#8221; at all, just like everyone else was saying. It requires patience, steady hands and feet and nerves of steel - well maybe a cup of coffee before going out will do. Like that girl I once had a crush on, it belongs to no one and no one will master it. Some come close for sure, however, and maybe you will too, after thousands of laps. It is like nature - you don&#8217;t control it, you learn to work with it. Stage 6 - After getting used to the powerful cars with wooden wheels and poor braking power and get improved lap times, you walk around with wide eyes, and try to spread the gospel according to Papyrus. You have joined our golden community. Welcome, Pilgrim. Stage 7 - OK this game rocks. Seven great cars and 11 unbelievably dangerous and challenging tracks. Wait just a darn minute - there are updates for the cars, dashes, tracks, add on tracks and utilities which add so much dimension to an already great experience. This is just going to blow my mind. Oh, wait there it goes. My brain just blew up. And somewhere out in the distance someone else is approaching Stage 1&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; Bob Simpson
