Hur, I thought there was another r in that title.
It is one sexy game though. Unfortunately I keep getting console blocked.

Your blog is dangerously close to having a very different meaning. I never really payed this much attention, perhaps I should take another look.
I play a bit of Wipeout every now and again, though I've never ventured online. Mostly because I suck against the AI and I'm scared of real people.
I used to love the pod racing star wars game on the Dreamcast, but haven't played many racing games. I have Burnout Paradise... but really only used it to play online with friends... I'm pretty good at take downs! (though most were entirely by accident!).
I think I'll have to wait till my MAG addiction dies down a bit though before getting any more games. :(
... though ALL online games should have spectator mode! I love watching other players when I need a break from actually playing! :)
(hmmm... and speaking of scary... Randy! That photo will give me nightmares!)

LOL... yeah, I guess I should have read the blog title more carefully before blithely wandering in here! :)
YOU PEOPLE ARE DEPRAVED... don't ever change. Thanks for the hilarious pics.
Is it just me or are gratuitous boobs rarely not awesome?
@Matt B - the photos aren't screenshots while in action, they're from the in-game photo mode that plays after single-player events. The tracks look a little gentle in stills, but they get pretty hot under the collar at 600+ kph, usually with some dork's rockets or plasma blowing up all over the trackside. I've had an on-again/off-again relationship with this game for ages and after hundreds of hours I still have to spend a couple days memorizing lines and getting my eyes accustomed to the top speed class. Fortunately the 3rd class seems to be the most popular online. That, I can handle on short notice.
It actually feels a lot like the cognitive diagnostic tests I took a while back for autism research* they consisted of stuff like repeating increasingly long series of digits, chain string syllables into words, name letters off of a page as fast as possible... simple tests to find out the limits of what your brain can do in terms of speed and capacity.

@Elsa - I've got Paradise City too, great car game but a bit pushover (minus random fragging from traffic) for proper racing. Still, shout me if you're playing bumper-cars there.
@Pvppy... I never actually play the game on my own (I've only done about 20 mintues of the single player!), but if I see a bunch of people on my buddy list playing then I'm inclined to load up the disc and beg for a game invite! :)
I need Fury bad! It's always the thing I say I'll buy next but never seem to have enough money in my virtual wallet when I want it. Oh well, I have a feeling WipEout might be making the Spring Sale on PSN one of these days.
Also, great pics!!

Man I love the Wipeout series. I owned Wipeou64 forever ago, memorized all the tracks and loved it more than F-Zero, admittedly. I haven't gone through the entire Wipeout HD campaign yet, so I'm definitely not practiced enough to venture online.
I love the idea of picture blogs and capturing individual play sessions (ala my last 3 c-blogs), so keep this up yo.

@guys - you don't need to be THAT good to go online, seriously if you can sit down and beat the pants off of a Phantom-class race from a cold start, that's terrifying and awesome. Double check to make sure you're not a purpose-built wipeout playing robot. If not, I want to sleep at your house in case some of your wipeout godhood will rub off on me.
And if you are I welcome our new wipeout-playing robot overlords.
