Hype Game Review: MUD: FIM World Championships
Usually I review car racing games but this time I tried something different by reviewing Namco/Bandai's new Motocross game "MUD". I was expecting a little nostalgia since the last motocross game I played was Excitebike but what I got was a hilarious lession in physics. See what I mean in the review. DISCLAIMER: I reviewed this game on an Xbox 360 console. MUD is also available for Playstation 3 and PSVita as a digital download. DISCLAIMER #2: I DID NOT PLAY ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. During my time with the game I was having internet connection issues so I did not get to explore online mutliplayer play via Xbox Live.

Handbuilt 4-Rotor Engine
This was a project that took about five years of weekends to put together. There was a lot of trial and error as jury-rigged parts were improvised and revised, leaks were identified and plugged, and byzantine electrical diagrams were decoded. It still does not run smoothly, as there likely is a problem with the intake system that has prevented smooth timing at idle. But she runs! lots of people wanted to know where the E-shaft came from: it was custom ordered from a shop in New Zealand.

RX-8 vs. 500 HP BMW M5 at VIR. Mazda RX-8 wins.
Second session on Saturday, June 14, 2008. Finally let me pass after 1-3/4 laps. Both the BMW driver and I are advanced, high-performance driving instructors. The RX-8 is completely stock except for a B&B muffler and Hawk HP Plus pads on the front. It does not have traction control or stability control. Tires are original stock street Potenzas. No doubt the M5 is stock too, and this has more to do with weight than horsepower. Camera is a Creative Labs Vado cheapcorder stuck to the windshield with a suction cup cellphone holder. Video was recorded upside-down due to the mount, and was transcoded to rotate it. Quality suffered.
