Tough Sell, 6/18/14

I picked up Spintires this week... I didn't back it when it was on Kickstarter because I wasn't sure it was my type of game. It certainly didn't sound like it. But after it blew up and was Steam's #1 for a few days, I decided to check it out. It's probably one of the most entertaining offroad games I've ever played (disclaimer: I have not played many). The mud and water physics are awesome, and this is weird to say, but I got one of my trucks lodged between two trees for like an hour, and enjoyed every minute of it. I brought another truck in to try and push my first truck free, and then ended up getting that truck stuck in the mud too. After a lot of perseverance and some crafty winch work, I managed to get my original truck free. It was a real feeling of accomplishment. It's a very neat off-road sim, but I really don't know how to hype it to people. Talking about it, or even watching someone play it, seems so incredibly dull, and yet it isn't!
