  • Only on the weekends, between chores.

    I drive a truck for work, and it’s my home during the week. Theoretically, I’ve got some gaming time while waiting on loading docks, but in terms of providing time for gaming, I can’t count on it. Some of my customers are annoyingly efficient. I prefer to nap anyway.

    I could always play once I’m parked at the end of my trip, but after 11 hours of driving, I’m often too mentally fried to even watch TV.

    Plus, my truck’s power inverter can’t handle running my gaming PC anyway. So it waits for me at home.




  • Separate idea: An open-world survival game, but using the TV show Jericho as the setting.

    You find yourself stranded in western Kansas after dozens of American cities have just been nuked, and with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stolen car, you have to rob and scavenge the countryside to survive.

    …I realized after typing out several paragraphs, that I basically want The Long Drive as a base game, but with BeamNG’s driving and crash physics, and Insurgency: Sandstorm’s gunplay.

    Players would get most of their supplies from fighting NPCs, having to find a fine balance between crashing out their cars without destroying the stuff they’re carrying, or the player smashing up their own ride in the process. I feel like Jonah Prowse’s story on the show would make for a fun endgame: the player creating/joining an organized gang to fight with larger convoys/settlements.
