Dear Mr. Falcon,
I've always wanted to write a letter to you, but I've never been able to muster up the courage to do so. People are so informal these days, and I miss the age of fanciness and formal..ness. I would like you to know that I think you are a very confused and frustrated young man, but that I still think that you're neat. I would also like to say that I'm a big fan of the futuristic racing genre and have been playing them longer than you have. I've owned and played all of the Wipeout games and really do enjoy them, and I even had some fun with those average Extreme G games. Rush 2049 is fun but not really what I'd call a futuristic racer. It's just not far-out enough, do you know what I mean? POD isn't very good and most futuristic racing games really are pretty crappy, but I do enjoy a lot of them and consider myself a fan of the genre. F-Zero, however, is king. It is the pimp-daddy of the futuristic racing genre (excuse my urban slang if it doesn't sound right, as I'm not used to talking like that) and in my opinion is just so much better than any other game in the genre that I simply don't even compare it to them. I have no qualms with you liking the crappier games more, so please do not feel offended by my not liking them as much as you do. Please try not to turn every single thread into a big debating war. It's very tiresome.
Sincerely,
Daniel Coleman
