After getting dangerously frustrated with red faction last night I decided to cool off with something else, Don't ask me why i kept it but a free disc was given away with the old playstations called demo one. It's packed with playable demos, videos and other cool things.

I put on the porshe challenge demo and i used to own the full game but didn't have the analog controller at the time. The led came on showing that the sticks were supported and then the left one was your steering and the right one was your accelerator/brake, not as sensitive as the dual shock 2 but it's proves a point that Sony did think up the idea WAY before anyone else.

Porsche challenge is made by SCEE and is almost FIVE years old, dreamcast ain't made yet so they couldn't have ripped off the triggers and come to think of it i don't think Nintendo even had their rumble pack out yet, which is another thing this game used.

Nintendo may have been the first to have a directional analog stick but Sony took it one step further.

This true.

What's happening today then?

We had some Red Bull or something?

If so, let's have some more, it seems to be making me intelligent.

That's because we don't usually have any. If IQ is fertile land, this mind would be a desert.

I really am surprising myself with these thoughts that I'm having today.

Maybe I should carry on with your name permanently afterall. I hadn't told you this, but I was thinknig of phasing you out.

I've been using your name, Mekas, FMs, Grixs and pb's for far too long now. I think I've won loads of GAD prizes as all these different people, so it may be time to call it a day.

Or am I just a figment of your twisted imagination?

That's a damn good point.

Sometimes I impress even myself with my jibba jabba.

Could be that this is my work address and you, well me - but with your name, is at my home address.

Hmmmm. Cheers for that.

There's supposed to be another F2 game heading onto the PS2 at some point. I'll wait for that, then compare the two and take it from there.

It'll give me some time to save some money as well!

Oh Wookiee, did you get that email with my address?
