👍 Recommended Garfield Kart is, without question, the greatest video game ever created. Forget fancy graphics, deep stories, or realistic physics. None of those games have Garfield driving a kart at unreasonable speeds while throwing pies at his enemies. I bought this game as a joke. Then the joke became my life. Every race is a masterpiece. Every victory feels earned. Every defeat is simply an opportunity to …

neutral · AI labelView post →Good racing games on Steam?. Steam is having a Racing Fest sale until August 4th and I thought I might like to try. I used to play a lot of Gran Turismo 2 and 3 back in the day, especially the rally modes. Any recommendations for me? Prefer anything under $10, no EA games, no Ubisoft games, and realistic although it's not as important. I'm also interested in Garfield Kart - Furious Racing if anyone has an opinion on that.

positive · AI labelView post →To truly grasp the cinematic zenith that is Garfield Kart, one must be of an advanced level of intellectual maturity. This game is dismissed as "just another Mario kart copy". To those people, I say - Garfield Kart is a profound deconstruction of the genre, rebuilt to a masterpiece on par with the work of Leonardo DaVinci. whereas Mario Kart 8 looks to be a fingerpainting by a pre-schooler when held to the same light. The care taken in every physics based calculation of Garfield Kart is…

Only the Cat knows the weight of the pasta. The graphics? Pure lasagna. The soundtrack? I screamed "LASAGNA!" at my monitor so loud that my neighbors called the police, but they don't understand a perfectly layered lasagna launch.

The fact that I even managed to survive a mere 13 minutes is a testament to the mercy of Garfield and his antediluvian power. They say that eldritch beings drive you mad, even looking at them is enough to shatter the human psyche. Thankfully, Garfield assumes a lesser, petty form as a sick kind of mercy, teetering on the fine line of incomprehensibility and…
