So I embarked on this ridiculous attempt at being the first person in the world to unlock the most expensive car in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: the 2007 Ferrari Formula 1 car.

I bought the game on Wednesday, and played from 5pm until 2am that day.
Then Thursday from 7pm until 1am ,
Friday from 5:30pm to 4am,
and then today from 1:30pm to 10:30pm.

After one corrupt save file that set me back a few hours, some 36 hours or so later I finally got it. Problem is, I played the game for 36 hours in a 3-day period...This can't be healthy. Even the battlefield games didn't take me away from food, sleep and exercise to this extent...

So, if that doesn't suffice as a review of the actual game, I'll just say it: 10/10, or: The best racing game ever...and this isn't even the full game. Certainly the best $35 I've spent on PS3, or any game in a while, for that matter. I wasn't the first to get that car, but I was damn close!

Here's a couple of pics of the totally rad setup I made for the game:

You sound like a kid in middle school....... or Jason from the Fox Trot comic strip.  He was known to do that.

Interestingly though, I was in middle school 10 years ago when I pulled this same stunt with GT1.

GT is an excellent racing series and I don't think anyone would ever come close to a driving simulator.  As much as I like them, I get bored of racing games FAST.

Surprised your parents didn't take the system away from you for a period of time.  If I was your dad, I would've.

why?

I got awesome grades. Plus, why take away something that actually teaches driving skills?

You just said it yourself..... staying up all night playing video games can't be healthy.
