@WoomyNNYes
I have Cars 2 PS3 version. Have reached Level 5 Mission but a lot of missions was pretty tough to get 1st place so i decided to use Free Play mode, start Vs Normal Racing with just 3 CPU in Easy difficulty to exploit easy 100 point to unlock higher Level Mission. The music in Cars 2 was suck and thus i played some Eurobeat songs from my handphone to make it feel like Initial D. š
The other racing games in my radar are such as Wave Race Blue Storm Gamecube, Team Sonic Racing PS4, Blaze and the Monster Truck (Nickelodeon).
Was Crash Nitro Kart on PS2 / Gamecube same game as the Remastered version on PS4 / Switch ?
Also, did you play F1 Race Stars ? (PS3 / XBOX 360 / PC)
I still wonder what was the purpose of Career Mode in F1 Race Stars as it seems ALL tracks from 11 different countries (No DLC) were already available from beginning ?
I still haven't played my F1 Race Stars PS3 yet as i need to know the unlockable things from F1 Race Stars. If the unlockables are just only Trophies and trophies (No new tracks or characters or vehicle parts), well i will skip the Career Mode entirely.
I donāt want to start a new thread for this, so Iām just asking here: My Switchās L button has stopped working. ZL, R and all other buttons still work but L just stopped. Iāve tried various things, and everythingās updated, but it still wonāt work. It pushes down so I know thatās not the problem, it just doesnāt think Iām pressing it (in any games or on the home screen). Does anyone know how to fix this?
@MarioLover92 The DreamCast resetting itself was quite a common fault - happened to my original one. IIRC it was pins on the main power board having a poor connection to one of the connectors; I vaguely remember having to slightly bend the pins to ensure a decent connection.
@Anti-Matter Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is better than Team Sonic Racing IMO. The transition from car to boat to plane mid-race is a lot of fun.
@dmcc0
Well, I haven't played those both Sonic Racing games but I think I will get Team Sonic Racing first on PS4 since the game was running on 60 fps. (Switch was 30 fps)
@Anti-Matter I actually played both on PC when I got them as part of a Sonic bundle. Transformed is slightly older. Think it's probably PS3 rather than PS4. It's not available on Switch, although might be on Wii U maybe.
Was Crash Nitro Kart on PS2 / Gamecube same game as the Remastered version on PS4 / Switch ?
It's a remake of Crash Team Racing for the PS1. It does have all the tracks and battle arenas from Crash Nitro Kart, plus 8 bonus tracks, but the adventure mode in CTR: Nitro-Fueled is the same as it was in the PS1 original. CNK's adventure mode didn't make it in. I highly recommend CTR:NF, by the way - it's one of the best kart racers ever made, right up there with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
@dmcc0 Ah, okay. I did look it up and yeah, it seems to be a common fault. When I do get another Dreamcast and it happens to me again, hopefully I'll be able to fix her up.
@Tyranexx That's cool. I'd say that the Genesis is my favorite non-Nintendo console, alongside the PlayStation 2. Both of them had some truly awesome games. That Dreamcast resetting problem seems to be a common fault, as dmcc0 said. Shifting gears just a notch, my favorite console overall is the SNES, though the Switch is right up there too.
Yeah, I've been more familiar with the Peanuts holiday specials too, those were nice watches. My physics professor was a cool guy, yep - though physics is not quite my area of expertise, lol. Especially with more advanced physics, those courses were really tough for me. I kinda want to drop by B&N for a visit again - hopefully I'll find something nice there.
@BabyYoda71 Ok so the one thing you should try first is to clean it, It might just be some dust and its keeping it from doing its job, If you can, send it back.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outsideā¦you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@MarioLover92
I still on the fence about CTR: NF but I have no doubt for Team Sonic Racing PS4 version.
I have checked Crash Nitro Kart on PS2 / Gamecube was a completely different racing game from CTR PS1 / PS4.
@Tyranexx It worked out a great for us in the end, even more so because of how much time weāve spent at home. Nobodyās gotten any kind of side effects even after nine days back home so Iād suspect the second PCR test tomorrow wonāt be all that useful in the end. Iām already starting to feel uncomfortable just thinking about the test, so Iāll no doubt complain next time about how badly it went. Hopefully they donāt drop my test this time, because thatās already something Iāve had to put up with.
Unfortunately there was an arbitrary sign in portal, like any respectable establishment really. Usual order; room number, surname and the date of checkout. The airport one was rubbish though, that required you to put in your mobile number, and youād put in a verification code. Since the country code hereās three digits it didnāt work, so that was the end of that; no messages for the whole day. Made it interesting when coming back though, getting a massive influx at once. But it didnāt help that Cairo Airport is probably the third worst airport Iāve been to as of yet. Itās unfortunately telling that the top three worst airports Iāve been to are all in Africa.
I dare say my attempts at a fantasy story will wilt in comparison to George R.R. Martin. Because for one, itās not even original! But nonetheless Iām about the opposite as far as progress goes. Read one and a bit books but havenāt watched the show. I should though, because of how faithful it is at first to the source material. Seeing how slowly the books are being written now (as of now ten years since the fifth book released) I hope the series is finished soon. In any case do enjoy the five chapters I have up, itās going to be interesting covering⦠the Mechon invasion and all that. My thanks for your interest in it, hopefully you like what you read.
Of course, when it comes to playing a real sport versus one in a video game, it isnāt always down to choice. I canāt go in and race multimillion-dollar cars, but doing so in a video game is not too bad either. Golf is one thatās influenced by choice for sure since itās a very accessible sport in of itself. But you have a very good point, and I even agree when it comes to games that donāt involve motorsport. Like football? Go outside and play a game. Same with bowling (for many), tennis and many more. Though sports games are a window into what makes video games so appealing to some people; the fact that youāre able to have these experiences on a console. Funny you mention triggering a chain reaction when hitting a golf ball because thatās exactly what I did one time. Hit my first ball for the final hole, it soared over the banked river, hit a stray stone, bounced off it in the most crazy direction, rebounded against a thin wooden post on a bridge some thirty metres away, before landing in the water. Iām not describing it well but it made me collapse to the grass laughing for a good minute.
What Iād do for that kind of chill now. Itās about sixty degrees too hot at the moment. Despite my rambling about how much I like the cold, I also end up complaining when it arrives. I miss the feeling of a cold winterās night, huddled up by a fire with two layers on. I was in England as recently as October last year but still; having this kind of brutal weather all yearās eventually gonna get boring. Iāve already gone on record to anyone thatāll listen in the house saying that Iād happily take rainy English weather now. Nonetheless at least thereās wind. But when there isnāt⦠it hurts. A lot. I do think theyāre mandated outside, ora t least everyone around chooses to wear them out, so thatās questionable at best. Iāve seen some cases of acne induced by face masks; itās not pretty, such is the danger of wearing them too much.
My tactic the other day was to put some chocolate chips into the jar, and microwave it. It was made of glass, so there wasnāt any inherent safety hazard by doing it (unlike that time where I forgot to remove the aluminium foil wrapper off my sandwich a few years agoā¦) so it was a job well done. Itās very natural though, so not overly sweet either, but the chocolate adds some more flavour to it. Indeed, do give sāmores a go, I havenāt had them in a while but it tasted great as far as I can remember. Lotās to look forward to during Q4 of the year now.
Keeping a watch chart of MCU films will go a long way. Iāve only looked up the running order once or twice but itās self explanatory, with timing and such. Funnily I didnāt watch the first two Avengers films, I guess I didnāt like how faithful to the comics everyone looked, and by the time 2015 rolled around everyone had grown enough into their roles to do crazy things aesthetically, like new suits and costumes, bleached or cut hair, growing facial hair⦠and it feels like a journey. For example, I hated Thorās costume in the first Avengersā film (dunno why) but now he looks legitimately badass. Iād say my favourite Avenger is Thor, he has a strong sense of justice, and humour too. Iron Man is a realistic character, who starts out selfish but becomes selfless as he grows into being a hero. Canāt wait for the next Thor film. Hopefully youāll find your way!
Canāt disagree with any comments there. Itās always good to take a break off gaming now and then, itās by no means a chore. Thereās been times when I think to myself; āDamn I need a new game,ā but end up going into my backlog and having a good time that way. As for my MIDI controller, itās been working nicely. I suck at playing with keys but for things like slower chords itāll be much better. Iāve been attacking a few different soundtracks myself, I just downloaded the NieR:Automata soundtrack, which has amazing vocals and some hauntingly beautiful songs. Death Strandingās great for late nights because of the ambient sound. Some Kingdom Hearts here, some Final Fantasy there, and thatās my own playlist now.
Abandoned⦠is supposedly an indie game developed by a Dutch studio; Blue Box. Reason I say supposedly is because the whole thing is extremely suspicious. Some things feel like coincidences but others feel way too connected. Connected to what though, you may be asking? Connected to Hideo Kojima. People think that this studio is a front for Kojimaās next game; a Silent Hill project. Rumoured of course. First, the studioās head, a Mr. āKahramanā, his name translated to Japanese as āHideoā, meaning hero. Theyāve also fed the conspiracy by posting cryptic Tweets saying things like āthe gameās actual name starts with an S and ends with an Lā. Plus, they made a ārealtime trailerā PS5 app, that was supposed to debut a new trailer a week ago, to no avail. It makes me wonder why Sony is letting this happen. Obviously the conspiracy theorists would say that Sony are supporting this because it IS a Kojima game, not an indie game. Either way⦠it could be, or not, and it wouldnāt matter all that much to me. Hopefully that paints a picture.

It's already 17 August 2021 here.
It's a 76th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence Day.
I drew a Chibi Indonesian warrior wearing mask and some COVID-19 around him.
MERDEKA !! š²šØš²šØš²šØ
I only have Crash Team Racing for the Switch. It's extremely good. I have as many hours in CTR as I do Mario Kart 8.
It took me 1-2 hours to start getting the hang of stringing drift boosts in CTR (doing multiple drift boosts in a row).(you can make a game profile for easy difficulty for learning purposes. Easy mode still unlocks everything, if you prefer that mode for a more casual experience.)
-Some tracks have some VERY hidden short cuts that are necessary to win.
-Speed driving style is like MK8's heavy class. Speed style is best for the fastest times.
@MarioLover92 Yeah it's a pretty simple fix. Happened on my first, which I sold on years ago, but I've since bought another and it's still working fine.
@dmcc0 That's awesome to hear your current Dreamcast is working a-okay. Hopefully I'll find a better one...preferably one that's not the Sega Sports variant. I'm not too big into many sports games, after all. lol
@WoomyNNYes
Thanks. š
About CTR: NF, I still on the fence with that game but i will observe more the gameplay.
@MarioLover92
Eh, sorry if I was not really nice on Nintendo Switch thread.
Sometimes when I got triggered constantly by something I didn't like, i felt disturbed and it made me want to say "Could we stop talking about (the thing I dislike) for a second, please ?"
Sometimes I like to post some upcoming games according from playasia to share more information to peoples here whether they will get interested or not as i always pick the games that caught my attention and hopefully other peoples might get interested too by my choices.
Yeah, I still awkward in socializing with other peoples. š
Oh, BTW. What other games did you play currently ?
I rarely to play my Switch games recently as my mood currently changed into between PS3 and Wii after I got Skylanders and Chicken Little Ace in Action.
I still wasn't in the mood to continue my ACNH as i felt my island was already perfect enough. Ironically, I still haven't continue my FF VIII and FF IX on Switch despite i considered both of them were the best Final Fantasy from PS1.
My recent activity was browsing for Gamecube / Wii / Wii U games from Tokopedia as my mood currently on older games and I found another seller displayed hard to get USA Gamecube games such as Mario Kart Double Dash, Megaman Network Transmission, Donkey Konga 2 (surprisingly the game was rated T for a rhythm game ? Lyrics maybe?).
So far still nobody want to consider those games and I have a chance to get them before someone else get first.
BTW, what is the purpose by swapping characters during racing in Mario Kart Double Dash ?
I changed my avatar again with my current drawing of Indonesian Warrior wearing mask + COVID-19 around him since in my hometown the pandemic is still serious.
And we will celebrate our Independence Day today on 17 August 2021 by following a virtual flag ceremony from YouTube that will be aired Live at 10 am. All students and teachers in my school will give salute when the flag is being raised slowly to the top of flag pole while our Indonesian anthem song "Indonesia Raya" is being played.
@MarioLover92 Truth be told, my PS2 experience is somewhat limited; the console I had some exposure to belonged to a set of cousins. I wasn't into most of their games (mostly sports and FPS games), but there was a really fun afternoon playing Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City. We used button hacks to summon vehicles and just kept wrecking them lol. I also played and beat their copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban over a span of almost two years. To date, my favorite console is the 3DS, though the Switch might dethrone it before long!
I can probably quote most of the Christmas Peanuts special by now! XD I struggled with some of the math portions of physics. It didn't help that I saw no point in learning most of said math unless I was going into engineering or a similar field lol. Too, there was a blip in my schooling where I missed out on some needed algebra. I did math up to a trig/pre-calc level, but I really had to work at it. I've seen a bit of actual calculus, and...woof. There are some areas of science I enjoy, particularly some fields within Earth science and biology, but physics and chemistry are my bottom two. XD
@Anti-Matter In regard to switching characters in Double Dash, if youāre playing co-op mode, each player controls 1 of the 2 characters. Swapping allows the driver to start using items, and the one that was on the back to begin driving. In addition, each vertical pair of characters on the character select screen has their own unique item that they are able to obtain from item boxes. If youāre coming up to a single item box and youād like a Chain Chomp for example, you want either Baby Mario or Baby Luigi in the back, as theyāre the only ones that can be granted that item (other than Petey Piranha & King Boo, who are both able to obtain every signature item).
@Tyranexx
Oh, I chose Science class when I was grade 12 student. Back on year 2000's era, there were 3 different class for grade 12 in Indonesia Senior High Schools: Science, Social Studies and Language. Each special class have different sets of subjects to study.
For example, Science class has Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry for main subjects.
Social Studies has Economy, History, Geography, Law, Sociology, Econometry, Accounting, Anthropology as main subjects.
Language has English, Indonesian language, other languages depend on the school such as Germany or Japanese, Literature, Literature History, etc as main subject.
Every classes have mandatory subjects such as Religion, Civic (we call it PPKn = Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan), Indonesian language that those three important subject must get minimum score in report to get promoted to next grade.
But Language class was really unpopular choice in Indonesia so only two classes are presented until today: Science and Social Studies.
I was great in Math during grade 12, was okay with Chemistry and Biology but really struggled with Physics.
I was great in drawing too and some peoples told me it was rare to see a people good in both Math and Art at the same time.
Social Studies were my least favorite subjects as I was weak in memorizing and understanding Social Studies subjects especially History, Sociology (only during grade 11). It was like my brain always got disconnected to digest the lesson of Sociology.
Believe it or not, I used to be composed my own stories or short stories when I was grade 11 until college age. The themes I like to compose was about detective / police department, RPG style adventure, natural disaster, etc and completely against the themes that usually teenager like to create for their stories (romance, teen rebel, teen dating). At that time, I was interested by some detective or police department TV series such as Martial Law (with Sammo Hung), Michael Hayes (by David Carusso), NYPD Blue and from there I created my own police department with 5 main characters (Edward Georges, Jennifer White, Dr. Marc Drummond, Charlie Vaughan, Clark Hugo).
Oh, yeah. I have ever watched CSI NY and Miami from AXN channel during 2000's era just to study the situation in police department during investigate the crimes (autopsy, finding the fingerprints, extracting the samples, interrogating the suspects, arresting the criminals, etc including the forbidden knowledge how to smuggle drugs by dissolve it into jacket ) but I didn't watch CSI anymore as I grew up.
Speaking about car wrecking, I did a lot from LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER. š¤
Whenever I felt bored, I started to destroy a lot of vehicles I saw and made traffic jams then I collected the LEGO blocks while seeing the LEGO folks running around after their vehicles exploded. I used Astronaut job to destroy the vehicles in one hit shot after I got Red Brick to upgrade Astronaut gun. Sometimes I hijack the vehicles I found then I get out from it to make a long vehicles line to create a massive traffic jam. š
Both LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER and Go Vacation are type of games I enjoy in term of wandering around in a big world to explore.
@Markiemania95
Oh, I see.
I have never played Double Dash as Gamecube was not my teenhood games when i was teenager (PS2 was my teenhood machine).
Never knew if the characters combination in Double Dash have effect on items that I will get.
Is that mean I can collect two different items in Double Dash ?
