8. Pimping Your Ride (With Nitrous)
I'm possibly the squarest guy alive. I enjoy John Denver, for god's sake. But even within my achingly-uncool bones, there sits a passion for bedecking a vehicle in neon and two-tone paints before taking it to the street with a vat of nitrous oxide, adjustable hydraulics and a song in its heart. Not in real life, mind you. The farmers in my village (that's right, village) would never stand for such urban madness. But in the sphere of computer games, such silliness reigns supreme. And really, there was nothing more glorious than discovering an open road in the San Andreas desert, cranking up Boston's Smokin' on K-DST, popping up the hydraulics and slamming the nitrious-infused accelerator up to 11. Of course, as soon as you turned your first corner you'd barrel roll like a mentalist, but until that death-inducing point, It was just the purest kind of fun, and something that was sadly fazed out GTA IV. Look, I get it, we don't live in 2004 any more, Street racing to the tune of the Eastside Boyz is no longer cool, but to scrap a Pandora's box worth of heroically insane vehicular carnage just seems like a shame.
