8 Video Games That Reward You For Doing NOTHING

3. YOU'RE WINNER! - Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing

So, as we've covered MANY times before, Big Rigs is not a well-made game. In fact, it's a title that Game Jam entries point and laugh at for being incomplete. It's got more holes in its source code than swiss cheese and A.I so incompetent that it's actually offending me that it even uses the term "intelligence" in its name.

And yet. I love it.

It's like a piece of outsider art. Ugly by conventional standards, yet there's something so intrinsically alluring about the whole thing. Maybe it's the fact you fall through the floor and pass under bridges as if reality means nothing to the drivers, maybe it's the infinite speed you can reach by reversing, or maybe it's the fact you can sometimes win by doing absolutely nothing.

Now as before mentioned the A.I is so bad that my fridge runs with more brainpower, and you actually CAN'T lose a race because the one driver that actually works enough to race with you always stops before the finish line. Yet occasionally, you don't even need to drive at all, because the game will freak out and just say you won the race as soon as it starts.

Nothing like a sweet AFK victory for even sweeter FA.
