![]() ![]() ![]() Drift Mania Championship 2 looks the business and is crammed with content. Yes, you get a sizeable Campaign mode (unlocked by completing point and skill challenges, as getting a Gold just isn't enough for Ratrod Studio), briefer Tournaments including head-to-head races, and a multiplayer Challenge mode, but with such a flawed driving model none of them appeals for long. Yes, you can slip and slide with relative ease, but powering out of an extended drift by jamming on the throttle - as per every other racing game - simply doesn't work. Around the bendĬrucially, the drifting itself feels wrong. A virtual wheel proves more reliable, but when you combine it with the other on-screen buttons - like the manual handbrake and the throttle - pressing everything at once is a task only for genetic mutants with extra hands. With over 10 million players worldwide, the 1 Drift game on the App Store is finally bac Drift Mania 2 -Car. No matter how much your tinker with the settings or plough money into upgrading your ride, tilt steering is either too sensitive or too sluggish. 224K views 10 years ago Drift Mania Championship 2 by Ratrod Studio Inc. In a game almost entirely geared around drifting, we'd expect a focus on dramatic cornering and a physics model to match - but these cars are nearly impossible to drive with any sense of control. The sense of disappointment grows the moment you hit the track and find yourself wrestling with a clumsy handling model that manages to hamper your every twist and turn with massive oversteer and understeer. Anyone who played Codemasters's otherwise stellar console racing game GRID will remember how that title took a terrible turn for the worse in the drift levels.Ĭars swerved around like they had soap on the tires, the rear end would spin out at the slightest provocation, and just staying on the track was a Herculean task.ĭrift Mania Championship 2 is that one design flaw turned into an entire game, with a few more problems under the bonnet for good measure.Īpart from an anachronistically text-heavy tutorial for a racing game, first impressions of Ratrod Studio's sequel are swish enough.Ī dramatic, live action video of racers 'drifting' their way to a race meet oozes class and the actual tracks in the game are rendered in sharp HD that could give current gen games a reasonable run for their money.īizarrely, though, the cars - traditionally the stars of any racing show - have boxy, indistinct looks that even adding a few decals can't really polish up. ![]()

We were told their relationship went beyond that, but saw none of it. ![]() The reader was privy to kissing and that's about it. I thought it was kinda crappy that Blake didn't get his past memories back, but good at the same time.įor all the emphasis on FL being in an R-19 novel, the romance was very PG, maybe even G rating. The MCs (Blake, Ancia, Richard) being reincarnated was a great twist. Solves that problem right there.Īwesome that he was everything that Richard/Phillip wasn't and that he recognized Ancia even though she was 'Rose' and she denied who she was the entire time That was answered when Ancia was stuck in the Door of Darkness for 7 years. I was really worried about how Blake and Ancia's relationship was going progress without it having that 'groomed' feel to it. This is highlighted brilliantly when Ancia thinks her sister of the heir of light, and she is, but only after Ancia killed herself in the original novel. Even though the FL read the book before she died, there was a lot she didn't know because things that the author thought of aren't always put into the book because they're aren't pertinent to the story being told. I started out reading the manga, but as it hasn't updated in quite some time, I found the light novel so I could finish the story and I'm so glad I did.Īncia really does do everything she can for Blake to prevent the curse from taking his life. A very interesting story!! I really enjoyed it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hadreas explained in GQ that he started his Substack after beginning to feel stuck in the rut of the album cycle. Many musicians also seem to crave the freedom to release low-stakes projects without going through a label at all. Substack allows us to create a full home for our project.” ![]() Pieces of the story are everywhere, if you’re a fan you’re gonna have to go out and find the story in a million places. “It’s weird … the digital age has allowed so much access, but it’s very piecemeal. “No journalist can sit down with me for three hours and get the whole story,” says Tegan. Simultaneously, the music press that covers these releases has atrophied to just a handful of websites, verticals and full-time journalists, from whom indie bands must scrap for their attention. Musicians deliver albums, music videos and other assets on a strict schedule that leaves little room for experimentation. “I just follow what makes me laugh the hardest or feel the most intensely,” he said, contrasting this to his approach to music, about which he’s “dead serious”. Hadreas told GQ in October that he had “no idea” his fans would enjoy his writing so much. His entries are so bizarre and skillful they’ve been written up in LitHub. His entries include an erotic short story about being swallowed alive by the actor Jensen Ackles (“Formed into pure cum energy, I cascaded through his urethra like a great sloshing sea.”) and a sincere review of granola brands (“Too many seeds and ancient grains, would prefer higher oat ratio.”). Perhaps most adventurous is Perfume Genius’s Substack, on which he’s been writing experimental fiction and satire. While Neko Case’s posts have a naturalist quality: whimsical essays about magpies and milkweed, that spin off in literary directions. Recently, he wrote a short story about a man in Barcelona who falls in love with a pickpocket. Incubus frontman Boyd shares paintings, as well as cerebral diatribes on UFOS and his pandemic break-up. “Just, ‘Hey, check this out.’”īrandon Boyd, frontman for Incubus, shares paintings, short stories and general musings on Substack. “Substack is a really lovely place to share a work in progress,” he says. Jeff Tweedy, the 54-year-old frontman of Wilco shares more audio than writing, including demos, covers and drafts of original poems and lyrics. “We want to cater to people who want to read essays about music and also the people who want to know about Sara’s cats,” says Tegan. Tegan and Sara’s newsletter, which has the glossy, soothing energy of the Modern Love podcast, is a series of candid letters between the twin musicians, that serve as a retrospective on their career (the lyrics they fought over, their first big check for a Grey’s Anatomy sync) and their relationship. The results are a mix of the parasocial and the profound, that highlight the way the internet makes every musician, no matter how small, an influencer.įor between $6/month up to $200/year (nearly all also offer a generous amount of content for free), fans can receive lush descriptions of Patti Smith’s hearty pre-tour breakfasts (“Toast, olive oil, porridge and banana smoothie, side of beans, berries”) as well as chapters of her pandemic novel The Melting. Morby is among a growing number of mostly indie rock artists who’ve joined Substack in the past two years: headliners include Patti Smith, Jeff Tweedy, Perfume Genius’s Mike Hadreas, Neko Case, Tegan and Sara, Thao Nguyen, Incubus’s Brandon Boyd, and The Decemberists’ Colin Malloy.Įach of these musicians now essentially serves as the editor-in-chief of a niche online publication about themselves. ![]() |
