Honestly, why would you ever drive forwards if you could drive sideways? Entire films and anime series have been built upon the fact that drifting is cool. It feels fantastic too, coaxing a car into doing something it’s really not meant to and feeling it buck until suddenly there you are, going sideways. Drive better and look rad? Hell yeah.
Dinosaurs
6000 years ago, terrible lizards walked the Earth alongside man. But the dinosaurs were driven to extinction by cavemen forcing them into demeaning and unsafe jobs as household appliances, and none of us will ever see one. Unless! We play a video game which brings these majestic and monstrous beasts back to life. While dragons do nothing for me, I am thrilled by even the weird and wrong ways video games imagine dinosaurs. Whether I’m building theme parks to house them, fleeing from them, taming and riding them, or shooting their snouts off, I am always quietly awed to see ancient beasts resurrected digitally. Dinosaurs! Right there before me! Still slightly magical. Millions of years from now, another species will rise in our place and they’ll be just as delighted by video games starring floppy apes who constructed colourful metal exoskeletons to attract mates and to drift round corners while pursuing prey.
But which is better?
Can you condemn dinosaurs to a second extinction? Would you even want to live if you could only drive forwards? Name your winner and make your case, reader dear.
