I do not reccomend playing a racing game, or any other game that envolves sharp turns, on a computer chair that spins round! I have tried this with many games, and I find that when i'm at top-speed, I tend to turn myself, but the car on the screen does not! This also goes to show how strongly we can become involved/lost inside our games, and how we should not under-estimate the power of all computer games!! Try playing while sat on a sofa, or chair that doesn't spin, and the problem should be solved.

I also don't reccomend playing something like GTA3 if you're a designated, safe driver who does no wrong!

Ah, I value their innocence. I'm on Windows XP on my new computer, and it's so different to Windows 98! Freaky!

LOL! Yeah, it's very common with the younger, less-experienced gamers! But at least they learn.

I cracked up the other day when my sister had her 7-year-old friend round. My brother was racing her on the Dreamcast, and she kept turning the controller, thinking you have to steer with it. I rolled me eyes and my brother informed her of her mistake...but she continued to do it. Value your youth, you only get it once!

The funniest thing in GTA 3 is driving along the pavement, and watching all the people squish in front of you. Hehehehe. *Ahem*
