I usually play RPGs, so this seems a bit out of place, but I just discovered this free game called Upshift Strikeracer on gpotato.com. It's kind of a Madmax roadwarrior type game but with short races instead of a long battle on a straight road. It has some decent potential, and they just opened up this thing called playspan in which you can sell your cars for real money. So you could potentially buy cars using the game points and then sell them - lol, make money from playing the game instead of paying to play. It's kind of off to a slow start (all the cars are selling for $1 right now), but who knows.

BTW, I don't work for gpotato - I'm not trying to sell the game. I'd just like to see more people playing it cuz it's fun and there aren't many people playing it yet (and those who are seem kinda hard core). I've always liked games like these - anyone remember Autoduel or Interstate 76? Autoduel was awesome...

Oh, and gpotato does have RPGs as well, though I have yet to try them (their RPGs are more of the anime style, and I'm more into the Western RPG style). They're free like the rest of the games on the site (you pay for premium items), but I have no idea how good they are.

I don't work for gpotato, but yeah of course it's an advertisement - I want people to play the game, cuz the more people play, the better the game will get. Isn't this what a blog is for? Sharing your opinions with others?

Whether or not you work for gpotato, Heretic is correct. You probably should have made at least an introduction cblog first if you didn't want to be accused of spamming for this game.

Ok, sorry for not playing by the rules.
So I tried to go post in the intro section of the forums, but it told me to log in (and when I tried my login, I got an error that it was wrong) - but ehh, as you can see I'm already logged in. So what gives? Is there some special secret passcode I need to get in to the forums?

And why is my profile "invisible" on this blog page? The text is all white against a white background.
