Nitronic Rush? I remember reading Distance was a spiritual successor to it, and wikipedia backs up that thougbt

That comic is still alive!?

See, and here i thought it would be children of terrorists!

Anything but the fuckin’ metric system…

Not to mention the PC won’t be a brick when they inevitably shut down servers someday

Im frankly shocked VR as a whole didn’t completely die when facebook bought oculus

DoD IT, hell of a way to start out with large scale xD
