Well.

That was not at all what I expected, based on the trailers.

I found this to be long, dour, slow, and boring, following (as it does) a quartet of unlikeable photo journalists as they travel cross country across a divided United States (with no real reason given how it got to that state) in a race to Washington DC in an attempt to interview a third term President.

Not for me (or those I went with)

    FROM THE MAKERS OF CSR RACING! Drag-strip legends from the last 60 years come to life in CSR...

Zoe Chase has entered her food truck in a contest across the south east, hoping to win the $50,000 prize to be able to open her diner. Before the first day of the contest, however, a competitor is found dead in his food truck. It looks like a tragic accident until more strange things start happening. What is going on?

It had been about a year and a half since I read the first in this series, but I remembered liking the characters. I was quickly reminded why, and I enjoyed journeying with them to the various stops on the race. The race creates a nice plot, and I found the various tasks and how Zoe and her crew overcame them to be plenty of fun. Sadly, the mystery was a sub-plot at best, and the rush to wrap things up at the end left me less than satisfied with that aspect of the book.

A really retro game, but still a good game.
I used to pay this when I was a kid in the 80's, watch Ben Hur and I want to play again immediately. The choice to play to win the race or to play to kill everyone else is a very real one and you find a way to balance the two is probably best. You can do damage to the chariots and the horses, and run them into the walls. Flip them over, Use he whip on them, etc. It's a race game at heart but the interaction between the racers is where the fun comes in. plus there are lots of people who find awesome mini's and create coliseums instead of the board it comes with, and they play at conventions. See some of the pictures I've added. This game is a old school treasure ahead of its time, but could use updating. I'd love to see a modern publisher get a hold of this and re-make it.

I've enjoyed watching RuPaul's Drag Race since the first episode. Each season of Drag Race has added new challenges and even more drama to the show. Personally I'm not that happy with drama on competition shows but it's difficult not to have it when it comes to any type of performer. (Speaking as an A.S. and B.A. degree holder for theatre and costume design, there's always drama in theatre. lol) The language is the only thing about the show that I really dislike, but it's not a game changer for me but it might be for others.
My favorite episode of every season is always The Snatch Game, watching the Queens pull out their celebrity impersonations, there are always a few that should have listened better to Mama Ru. Then again that's every episode when she goes around to talk to them about what they are doing for that maxi challenge.
I highly recommend this show to people who enjoy reality t.v., competition shows, and of course Drag Queens.
