“After four days of breaking speed limits and watching awesome pile-ups, David remained the best boy racer.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nfrom Official Nintendo Magazine issue 123 (December 2002)<\/p>\n

As I mentioned last week, the GameCube car was not some bizarre flaunting of ONM’s, Ninty’s and Max Power<\/a>‘s money, but served as a contest (in association with Acclaim) where folks could win a bag of swag, including the latest BurnOut<\/i> game!
\nTo be frank, I’m disappointed for two reasons.<\/p>\n

Reason 1:<\/b> The contest did not actually involve the car. Come on, lads, you do not cram a games console into a four-cylinder-16-valve mean machine just for people to look at its boot! Challenge people to clear five levels of Super Monkey Ball<\/i> while driving over cobblestones at 40 miles per hour – something, anything<\/i>! I want to say “now that’d<\/b> be a challenge!” but more likely it’d be a lawsuit in the making.<\/p>\n

Reason 2:<\/b> Man alive, is this some boring reporting. What did we miss?<\/i> What all happened at this event? Sure, a few thousand lads played some time trials, but the photos on the second page paint a very different story…<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n… such as this morbid totem pole carved from the corpses of Mario’s friends and foes…<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n… and this bizarre worshipping ritual to Vodafone (?), which apparently involved pelvic thrusts and putting the Pilsbury Doughboy on a diet.<\/p>\n

Like, kudos for the follow-up, ONM, but now I’m only left wondering what you’re not telling us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
