Well, I'm gunna use and add to someone else's line here that I saw in the RCC thread.
I lost interest in NFS along time ago, too, and I've been playing it since it was on the PS1. I think I played through Hot Pursuit on PS2. Then I really got into one of the newer ones for PC...I can't recall what it was...it wasn't Carbon (that one sucked), but one of the ones that really focused on drift. EDIT: ProStreet.
Anyways, I won't play them now. I will only play them if Uncle Torrence lends them to me, and as of late, that's just been a waste of time according to Aunt Bandwidth. (Credit to Winslow33 on "Uncle Torrence" usage).
