Or hockey.

Are you kidding? I love hockey

Absolutely. It's much more strenuous than football.

Had to create a piece of propaganda from World War I for my U.S. History class. Thought it turned out pretty swell. Imagine this:

A battle worn United States soldier stands proudly over the bodies of a thousand kraut soldiers. He is evidently bleeding and appears tired but it has no effect on him. In his right hand he grips a shotgun which is pointing towards the sky. Some light smoke is drifting off of it as if it was recently used. In his left hand he clutches the American flag which is gently swaying in the wind. The end of the pole is on the mountain of deceased soldiers and it is the only thing that doesn't look fucked up. The sun is rising in the background as the dark clouds of Germany are receding away silently. The title is: "Let Freedom Ring..." and below it in sharp, red letters: "With A Shotgun Blast. "

I know, right? How cool is that.

Oh, and in the lower right is the text: "The Storm Is Over". And the flag is all glourious because he's holding it up in its mighty----ness but the end is still touching the ground lajja.

Well obviously they are not perfect circles, but they are circular in general, with no real obstacles or anything else other than the car. NFS at least has regular people in other cars on the track, things you have to dodge, and interesting scenery (generally a city or something, not some race track)

Oh, and for the few people that are from Oregon on here (Cox, Mike), Peacock Lane is literally right in front of my house. Not sure if you've heard of it but it's basically where a block of houses put on a bunch of decorations. Lots of cars and people and horse carriages. Pretty nice.

Burnout Revenge has obstacles too. >_>

Although you can just plow through them like they're flowers.

If you have Driven or Been a Passenger On Laguna Seca, You'd be surprised how challenging the course is. It's not rare for Champ Cars to leave the ground on the corkscrew. Not to mention, you're going 170+ MPH on a course no Wider than 2-3 cars wide. Hell, I think someone died at the entry to the corkscrew a few years back in Champ Car.

Most people get it once, then build up antibodies against it, so they never get it again (not always the case). But, still, most people end up having it at least once.

It's not so much that it's challenging, of course it's challenging. Just not interesting.

Forza's designed for realism, it's a driving simulator.

You wouldn't buy a train simulator for Windows and complain you've always got to stick to the track.

"WHAT??!?!?! Are you telling me in this train simulator I can't derail then smash into a large rabbit farm killing thousands of helpless rabbits." That train simulator sucks.
