Hard times die quickly. Hittin' the gas & kickin' a** is forever.
I've seen plenty of "Signs you've been playing (insert game series here) too much" lists, but I haven't seen one for the Driver series, so here it is: "Signs You've Been Playing Too Many Driver Games"
GENERAL (non-game specific):
-You expect to hear police radio chatter without installing a police scanner.
-You think that your vehicle can drive away after any collision, assuming it’s in good shape.
-If your car is wrecked or if you die, or if any other really bad things happen to you in real life, you expect to be able to go back & try again as many times as you want
-You wonder why your GPS device doesn’t show the locations of cops or gangsters.
-You think that your car doesn’t need gas, new tires, oil changes or any other form of maintenance other than fixing up body damage.
-You legally change your name to Tanner or T.K.
-You think you can get away with speeding all the time if the cops aren’t around.
-You think the cops have a smaller field of vision than they really do.
-You build models of every car in every Driver game.
GAME SPECIFIC:
Driver:
-You obsessively check your answering machine hoping that local criminals will offer jobs to you.
-(If you're a taxi driver) You try to scare the pants off of passengers by doing donuts, 180s, and other stunts.
-You steal the president’s limo & drive it to the nearest parking garage.
-You try to do Film Director mode in real life by setting up movie cameras around town. (also applies to Driver 2 & Driv3r)
-You expect to see a large red arrow at your destination. (also applies to Driver 2 & Driv3r)
-You think that the police will automatically lose you if you wreck any cop cars pursuing you. (also applies to Driver 2)
-You think that you can drive on water as if it were solid ground, but you won’t do so because it’ll damage your car. (also applies to Driver 2)
Driver 2:
-You try to catch a ferry by doing a jump off a nearby ramp.
-You think you can’t get hurt if you exit your vehicle while it’s airborne.
-You break into Wrigley Field thinking that there’s a yellow & black Buick GSX there.
-You think that the driver of a car you’re tailing doesn’t check the rear-view mirror often unless you’re too close. (also applies to Driv3r)
-You think that the cops won’t care if you stand in the middle of the street & block their vehicle, other than honking the horn at you (also applies to every game made after this one).
Driv3r:
-You explore every nook & cranny of your hometown expecting to find all 10 Timmy Vermicellis so you can unlock a hidden cheat.
-You try to use an unmodified M-16 as a sniper rifle.
-You think you can flatten a vehicle’s tire by shooting the rim (also applies to any 3D Driver game with guns).
Driver: Parallel Lines:
-You try to put armor plating on a sports car & think it’ll drive well without any special mods.
-You steal a random taxi & start picking up and dropping off passengers.
-You go around town smashing donut stands & trying to get away with it.
-You think that the cops will forget all about your criminal record if you simply walk into a garage, assuming they’re not already in pursuit.
DrIVer: Russia:
-You think that if you crashed into a wall, the worst that could happen is that you see a blinding flash of white for about a second, otherwise you & the car are A-OK.
-You think that driving stolen cars to a random spot on the street counts as a successful delivery. (no offense intended, Chris)
-You ask your local GPS dealer how you can install Microsoft Mary’s voice on a GPS device (again, no offense intended)
Any questions, suggestions, corrections and comments are appreciated! However, remember the following: *Contributions to the list must be serious in nature.
*Complaints must be civil (in other words, no flaming or stuff).
