It’s Monday. Well, congratz to the Eagles and all their fans for their dominating win in Super Bowl LIX. I was hoping that the Chiefs would be able to pull off the 3-peat, but it didn’t take long to realize that wasn’t going happen. No question, it was a rough game for the Chiefs. It was like someone secretly replaced the entire Chiefs team with the Chicago Bears! It would have been nice to see a well matched competitive game, but there’s always next year, eh?
Super Bowl commercials. I generally see the majority of the Super Bowl commercials prior to the big game. However, this year I somehow missed taking a sneak peek. No matter, it was fun seeing them old-school style along with the game. Overall I thought this year’s crop of commercials were just okay. There were a few that I thought stood out from the rest, like the Doritos commercial with the guy vs. alien tractor beam. Another favorite was the Pringles commercial with Eugene Levy’s eyebrows. And lastly, the Jeep commercial with Harrison Ford was pretty good.
Anyway, now that the Super Bowl is in the rearview mirror, that means the Daytona 500 is next Sunday! Woohoo!

Wreckfest 2
It’s Tuesday. I used to do a lot of PC gaming. I played a lot of strategy games, tower defense games, but my favorite games were racing simulations. In racing games generally the goal is to be first. But to win the race you often have to take very good care of your race car. Beat it up, even just a little, and you pay the price in handling and speed. But then a game called Wreckfest came along and suddenly racing got dirty. The objective completely changed. Instead of keeping your car clean and free of damage, you purposely used it as a weapon to destroy your opponents before they destroy you. Think vehicular mayhem and Demolition Derby, it was just like that. I played the hell out of Wreckfest and loved every destruction-filled minute of it. “Drive hard, die last” was their motto.
Fast forward 7 years and Wreckfest 2 has been announced and comes to early access next month on March 20th! Check out the Wreckfest 2 trailer above to see it in action. All I have to say is, take my money, please!

Wreckfest 2, the next evolution of full-contact racing, crashes its way into Early Access on PC on March 20, 2025. Developer Bugbear has overhauled its physics engine to deliver the most intense crashes, deeper component damage, and absolute vehicular mayhem.
Forget shiny supercars – in Wreckfest 2, the rides are old, rusty, dented, and patched together. As Early Access progresses, you’ll be able to build the banger of your dreams and transform your battered ride into a wrecking machine! New cars and other vehicles will be added as the game evolves.
From day one, Wreckfest 2 will be shaped by your feedback. We’re eager to create the greatest demolition derby-style game of all time. Ready to take the wheel?
