The chalk outline sounds inexpensive and potentially effective, but even better has the excellent properties of plausible deniability and easy removal.

Stand out the front in some form of uniform pointing a hairdryer at people. Or, if you’ve got better things to do – and for argument’s sake we’ll say you might – get a cardboard box, a length of poly pipe and the lens off an old SLR. Stick C to A, paint the thing a pale shade of beige, and set it up on the footpath pointing up the direction of travel. Then spread rumours around the neighbourhood of those bastard money-mad coppers setting up a furtive speed camera setup.

Failing that paint a chalk outline of a pedestrian on the road. Simple stuff gets their attention.

Yeah, I recall stumbling across a matching pair of them in Brisbane Airport a few years ago, and it was the one time I convinced then future Mrs Damian to have a go at a video game. The skidding around without being able to feel it freaked her out a bit I think.

Anyhow it was with this sort of experience, as well as vaguely remembering how my feminist-vegan-anticar co-editor on the student newspaper was, along with her husband, addicted to the SEGA Megadrive version, this all led me to investigate the Xbox version once I learned of its existence, and since I stumbled across this review:

I figured it had better go on the list. The other car racing game, Project Gothham Racing, or PGR as it appears to be best knowm, and which apparently is Bill Gates favorite game, seems to be the best of the genre, but there’s always room

Bloody hell that TinyMCE makes some lag trying to use it to insert a link.. I may well just ditch it.

The original arcade version was ORESOME. Basically 90s rally cars in side-by-side sideways gravel stupidity. No idea how it’d translate to XBox without the whole arcade cabinet experience (not to mention the ability to sledge hell out of the poor unfortunate in opposition) but hard to argue with two for fitty bucks.

It’s all new to me too.

And damn, I think it must be TinyMCE (the javascript WYSIWYG editor I installed here) that did that to your fine manual link. I may have to tweak settings.

Oh I picked SEGA Rally because I recognised the name, and on investigation it got 9/10 in a review…

I think the word I was looking for was ‘venerable’.

SEGA Rally, man that takes me back. Large swathes of first year were spent in Timezone below the George St cinemas in Sin City, duelling a mate from school (the veneral Dr Craigos – as distinct from the venereal Dr Craigos) who was doing chem eng at USyd – on the mighty Sega Rally. Lancia Delta Integrale FTW! Now THAT thing was designed with a set square…

As for the rest of it, NFI – I’m less relevant than Fred Nile when it comes to Modern Gaminge.
