How unlucky and evil is that, eh?

I’m kind of hoping that one day I might get the Professional Online Player achievement. There’s lots you have to do to get that, but one of them is to win at least once in each type of race. So I’ve been trying Dusk Til Dawn races, which are basically night races. Hence the name and all that. I’ve come second, but I can’t find a race without some really shit hot inhuman type in it. I came second in my last race, but still failed to finish within thirty seconds of the person who came first. That’s how good he or she was.

I’ve also left negative feedback today. Once to someone who just made stupid annoying noises in the lobby and then quit out once the race started and once to someone who bashed into me three times on purpose to try and get me to crash. Which I did. I know some crashes can’t be avoided and it’s all part of the rough and tumble, but when you’re on a straight and someone doesn’t try to cut you off and just waits for you to get alongside before slamming into you, that’s going too far I reckon.

I did feel bad about leaving negative feedback at first, but people have done it to me for accidental stupidity, so I don’t feel bad about people who are idiotic on purpose.

I’ve also played the game for well over fifteen hours now, according to the stats. And they only count racing time, not menu time, it seems.

Anyway, back to it…

And this time I’ve only played one game.

Guess which one?

I just got 50 points for reaching rank five, so my gamer score should be 1,460 now. I know it’s an utterly meaningless number, but I still get some satisfaction from increasing it, oddly.

What’s even better is that rank five came along after a really difficult Hot Lap in London, which made my frustration with my inability to drive worthwhile.

Damn, but I love this game.

And I’ve taken a couple of really nice photos today, too.
