#45703 — Nobody Cards, but...

... there's a new expansion out today for American Truck Simulator. I
know; I'm the only one here that gives a damn about it. But, on the
other hand, I give a damn about it... so, hello, Nebraska. I shall be
exploring all your corn-filled fields this month. Expect to be bored
by my comments about it come June 1st. ;-)

I bought it and a couple of packs that I was not aware about!  Had to
cancel one because of duplicate items.

I care Spalls!  I have a note on my desktop that says "Play American
Truck Simulator".  It has been there for weeks, but I will get to it
soon, I promise!

Ah, the glory of the easily ignored post-it. I've a monitor nearly
covered with the things. So many tasks to find reasons not to do ;-)

(Mind you, these are DIGITAL post-its, stuck to the desktop. Real-life
post-its reveal your procastination to anyone who wanders by, but
digital post-its can be hidden behind other windows, disguising your
inability to complete tasks ;-)

No post its here, I do have to do text file I look at occasionally.

I might actually enjoy ATS too, considering I liked driving around the 
US in The Crew.  But I enjoyed the racing and challenges a bit too, I'm 
not sure just driving around would do it.  Maybe someday.

What, you can't see the appeal of driving carefully through traffic,
never exceeding the speed limit, stopping for every traffic light and
stop-sign, all to get to a destination based on a schedule outside
your control? Why, it has all the joy and excitement of your daily
commute! Who /wouldn't/ like a game like that? ;-)

In truth, though, most of the joy is from ranging across the continent
(or, at least, as much of it has been detailed so far). The best bits
for me are when I'm on an open freeway and can drive without focussing
too much on the actual driving; I just zone out, listen to my tunes,
and enjoy the scenery zipping by. And if I happen to get to my
destination without incurring any fees (for running a red light or
whatever) or damaging the cargo (or the truck!), that's just a sign of
a job well done.

But, yeah, it's a hard sell and definitely not a game to everyone's
taste. I totally get that. 

But I'll still be talking about it here nearly every month.
Fortunately, Usenet has kill-files so you can protect yourself from me
if you feel it necessary ;-)

Judging by the popularity of the Fast and Furious movies ...

Fast and Furious: Law Abiding Citizen, loses 100 million at the
theatres.

Never, it's part of the charm of the newsgroup :)

I can skim if it gets to be too much anyway.
