After a number of days of thomping basslines and screaming business professionals in service of games that gained’t be out till subsequent yr, tonight I’m very a lot trying ahead to a quiet drive by way of forested mountains. American Truck Simulator simply launched its Washington enlargement, including one other state to haul cargo by way of – an actual fairly state at that. Sea! Mountains! Forests! Bridges! Logging roads! The Grand Coulee Dam! The Space Needle! Another metropolis bearing the cursed title of Aberdeen! Places from Twin Peaks! Just me, the street, a riot grrrl playlist, and eighteen wheels of metal laden with logs which can be already two hours late as a result of I obtained distracted by a river and crashed right into a tree.
American Truck Simulator’s Washington enlargement squeezes the state right down to 3800 virtuamiles of street, 16 cities, just a few dozen recreations of bridges and truck stops, and an entire lot of surroundings. Our former Alec (RPS in peace) managed to find the waterfall out Twin Peaks and had himself a wee cry. Fair play to him, it’s pricey to my coronary heart too.
My flatmate not too long ago moved to Seattle so I’m positive she’ll get pleasure from me sending screenshots of each truckstop and tree, asking “IS THIS YOUR NEW PLACE?”
