Time slows when you’re having fun (playing Trackmania Nations Forever)

By proschwalker

“Time flies when you’re having fun” – or so they used to say. Upon playing Trackmania recently, I’ve come to find the opposite to be true. Trackmania is such a fast-paced experience that I actually wound up being exhausted after what felt like hours of trying to beat gold medal times. Coming out of the game, only about half an hour of real time might have actually passed during any given session. I think that’s quite an achievement in immersive gameplay.

    Hi Reinhard,

    glad to be the first to post on your blog. You just reminded my that I am still not number one on trackmania in Munich. In a quite desperate attempt to change that, I failed. Would be too glad to add you to my friend list, although I wasn’t invited to the BarBQ on monday.

    The name is “limesquezzer”.

    Yours,
    Daniel

    Argh. Sorry, Daniel. Touché, I have to admit. To add insult to injury, Rudi beat you to the first comment. I recommend recompense through by annihilating the following Trackmania score:

    Glad to have you here!

    The reason why time seems to slow down when you’re playing Trackmania is that you’re ACTUALLY DRIVING SLOWLY, Reinhard.
