Hello everybuddies!
So it's a brand new day, and brand new gaming adventures. I overslept a little (well maybe not so little), so my gaming today started fairly late. I decided to give a first shot to Real Racing 3. As I wrote yesterday, I'm currenly going through Exclusive Series, in Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (yes, that's a mouthful) and BMW M3 GTS. I managed secure some nice wins in both cars - especially an epic comeback from the very last place to the lead in Indianapolis cup driving BMW M3 GTS. Other wins included Mount Panorama cup, speed record at Nurburgring, and speed snap at Red Bull Ring Morning - all while driving the Mercedes-Benz.At the time of writing this I decided to play some Need for Speed Shift, but at this very moment we had a blackout in the whole building! Now that's what I call a bad luck. Waiting for the power to come back and noticing I still had a decent battery life on my phone, I decided to go back to Real Racing 3 for a little while. I won after quite an entertaining race at Daytona as a part of Mercedes-Benz 190E Exclusive Series.
Electricity came back shortly, and I could start my Need for Speed Shift training. What I'm doing for my driving practice is I pick a car, fully upgrade it and then take it for 5 runs on every track available in the game. I note all my times in a notebook, so I can trace my progress, and I'm doing this for every car in the game. It's an intense training, but one that I hope will bring some results. As of now, I have finished all my races in fully upgraded Mazda RX-8 (yseterday I completed Spa GP, Tokyo Circuit, Tokyo Club, Willow Springs GP, and Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile) and with well over one million in bank (the game give you credits and EXP even for quick races), I bought and upgraded Audi S3. My goal - aside from learning how to drive well - is compare all the cars. One of my future plans for Racing Spirit Youtube channel is reviewing cars as they appear in different games, as well as one specific game.
Wth that done, I decided to watch some fellow racing Youtubers' video, one particular being Viperconcept, who delivers a really funny text commentary - the thing that I tested myself for my channel. Then I visited gg.deals to see if there's some good price drops for the games (I can honestly recommend this site for every cost-concious gamers, it's simply awesome). There's actually a Fanatical game sale going right now with Project CARS going for 4.49 euros. To me, it's a steal. What else? I played some Half Life 2 wih my friend Karol, and then played some more Real Racing, winning a couple of challenges, and spectacularly failing at one of them. I'm actually saving up for a new wheel for my PC and Xbox One (which I am als nci planning to buy, because of Forza reasons :) ). Nothing to say about my current Tracer Zonda, but... well, it's crappy, and the pedals don't work. So a nice Thrustmaster could go a long way. Especially given what kind of YT channel I'm making.
So what's next for Racing Spirit in the immidiate future? Need for Speed Shift, episode 12 ;) And that about it for this entry. Stay tuned and stay safe.

After Hiatus
Hello everybuddies.
First of all, I'd like to deeply apologize for lack of entries for the last month. I just couldn't get myself together to write anything, and I figured that those posts shouldn't be a thing I have to force myself to write - so, there's hiatus. I wasn't really sure for how long this hiatus would go, so I decided against promising anything. And so, after a little more than a month, I'm back writing another entry of this gamer diary of mine. What happened when I was away from writing? I'll begin with my Youtube channel, Racing Spirit.

What happened when I was away from writing? I'll begin with my Youtube channel, Racing Spirit.
As of writing this blog post, my channel stands at 21 subscribers, which - while maybe not spectacular - is something I cherish. My Test Drive Unlimited videos went on a hiatus, and to be honest, they're most likely gonna undergo a major reboot, to match the current direction of the channel. As of now, pretty much all content on the channel is my Need for Speed Shift series with my voice commentary. Current format of my videos is the result of much of experimentation I did throughout the last month - it went from text commentary with next to no editing aside from text, to post-recorded voice commentary, which I found to be the most comfortable with. Aside from racing game walkthrough series with mild storytelling attached to it, I plan a few more type of videos, which I will share with you at he later date. I'll just say that they're gonna take much more time and work to do, but I feel they're gonna be that much rewarding.
Changing topics to what I've been playing lately, I've been doing some intense driving training in Need for Speed Shift, and Dirt Rally 2.0 with my Tracer Zonda - cheap, but beggars can't be chosers - steering wheel. For that purpose, I started noting my times in a notebook, so I can observe my progress. So far it seems to do it's job. What else? Together with my friend Karol, we're knees deep into Half-Life 2. So far I'm loving it for engaging story and gameplay - Alyx is an awesome NPC companion. After this we're planning to play Quake, and check out Battlefield series (which I have thanks to Origin Access). Together with some of my other friends, we started playing Beyond Good & Evil, an amazing action-adventure from the creator of Rayman - they are loving it. Together with... myself, I'm continuing Real Racing 3 playthrough. I'm currently going through the Exclusive Series with Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution and BMW M3 GTS, which I'm planning to beat before going any further with main challenges. I'm playing with manual throttle and brakes, which gives more control and better times. The reason for it is simple - gold coins I need to upgrade other cars. I haven't been playing any Asphalt 8 since the beggining of a hiatus, and I currently don't plan to go back to it.
I also created my Twitter account where I follow some of the other racing youtubers.
And that's about it for today, I'll write much more in the next entry. Stay tuned and stay safe.

New Things
Hello everybuddies.
Now before I get into what I've been doing since yesterday, I'd like to give an update on what is happening on my Youtube channel, Racing Spirit. As of today, I'm introducing two new video series. One, the gameplays of The Need For Speed: Special Edition, a refined version of the very first Need for Speed released way back in 1995 for DOS. I took some time to figure out how to run the game on DOSBox - a DOS emulator, if you're not familliar - and I ended up relying on DosBox Game Launcher, a nice little DosBox frontend that comes up with build-in presets for installing and running different DOS games. Second new game on a channel will be Need for Speed: Shift, a sim racing game from the authors of Project CARS, when they were still working for EA. I debated between Shift and Dirt Rally 2.0, and decided in favor of NFS - that obviously doen't mean Codemasters game will not appear. It will, just on a later date. From now on I'll be succesively introducing new things on my channel. Like my friend I mentioned, Karol, who is going to help me out recording races - he's good at it. Wait, did I just call Karol a thing? Dang, not intentional. Anyway, one of the things I'm also currently considering are Android racing games, especially seeing upcoming Forza Street (I think it comes out in May, is it?). Ok, with that taken care of let's see what I've been doing since the last entry yesterday.
Let's go over my progress game by game. First, mobile. Since yesterday, I managed to complete Speed Snap on Indianapolis, and Autocross on Mount Panorama in AWD Series in Real Racing 3. Both of those races were fairly easily, and I managed to complete them without much retries. Now all I need left to complete this race series is a win in Cup on Melbourne track. My Hyundai I20 WRC is almost fully upgraded, but I think I won't invest any more coins in it - I just don't think it's worth it at this point. The other car I'm working on, as I mentioned in the last entry, is Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. As of now, I'm two wins away from finishing Tier 1 - so far I succeeded placing 1st at Speed Record on Monza, and 2nd in both Endurance on Silverstone International Circuit and Cup on Red Bull Ring Afternoon. I have to be honest, I hate Endurance races, they're the ones that always take me the most time to beat, not to mention the lenght required to win at given race seems to fluctuate. I'll give it a go again later today.
What I will also give a go, mobile speaking, is Asphalt 8: Airborne. Currently I'm right in the middle of the first season, having full five stars in half of the races I completed until now. Most recently I won Knockdown in Nevada driving my Audi R8 e-tron missing just on star, and then bought Mercedez-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive to take part in Class C Infected course in Iceland. The huge merit of the game is that there are no limits on how many times you can start in races. There is areno fuel you need to recharge with your real life money, no battteries, no points. You can try, and try until you memorize given track to perfection. Ah yes, tracks. In the first game's season I'm racing through right now, there are only three locations: Nevada, Iceland and Tokyo. Each takes around 3 to 3 and a half minutes to complete, but boy are they detailed and - as far as mobile games go - gorgeous. What is also interesting, the tracks aren't straitghforward like you imagine other games' circuits usually are. Here, it's totally possible to take a much longer route and lose a race because of it, nothing is so obvious when you play it for the firsr time. I'm definitely continuing to play this game.
Switching to PC, I spent quite some time playing Dirt Rally 2.0 yesterday, trying to learn different tracks and vehicles as best as I could. Before I noticed, it was already 5PM, so I decided it's time to get something to eat. Yeah, this game takes some time, especially on longer stages. I haven't tried any career modes yet, so I don't really know what they're like. What I know what is like though, is Half-Life: Opposing Force. Once again I was joined by Karol, as we gave this game one of the last gos. We played it all the way to what we think is final boss, and we got stuck there, trying to figure out how to defeat it. After half an hour of trying different approaches and failing, we decided to wait and beat it today afternoon.
What I forgot to mention - yesterday I uploaded another two gameplay videos of Test Drive Unlimited Platinum. Volkswagen Golf R32 (MkIV), and Honda Civic Type-R (EK9). I'm getting really close to finishing all Class F vehicles, and to start working on my Class F Top 10 Cars video. And now we've made a full loop, as I finished my day trying to work out how to get The Need for Speed Special Edition working on DOSBox. Later, I've read some car reviews on the interwebz, and went to sleep.
So that's about it for yesterday. I'll write some more later today. Stay tuned, and stay safe.

Yesterday
Hello everybuddies
So, I planned to write a third post yesterday evening, but after an attempt, I concluded I was too tired to make any coherent writing. So, after good night's sleep, I'm writing it now. Now I'll go over things I was doing after posting yesterday.
So, I gave Real Racing 3's AWD Attack race series another go, and after couple tries, I secured a glorious win in a Cup on Laguna Seca in Hyundai i20 WRC. As always it was all about not taking turns too fast, as this game punishes failing at turns really severely - let's just say going off road makes your car slide several hundred meters into a banner. So braking is key. Currently I have three races left in this series - Speed Snap at Indianapolis, Autocross at Mount Panorama, and Cup at Melbourne. I manage to win all this, and I get some shiny gold coins I can spend on buying new cars and further modifying the one ones I already have. This game has around 250 licensed vehicles, so it's rather a long-term project. One of the only complaints I would have is that outside of slight differences from car to car, the gameplay is kind of samey. The amount of different events and race series is through the roof, but I have a feeling I already so everything this game has to offer. I'll keep playing it though, as I don't like abandoning the things I started.
After that, I started working on my Test Drive Unlimited Platinum gameplay of Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS. The car drives really well, so I took it to Merit Alley, which is speed radar race - with the goal of 186km/h average. After couple of tries I succeeded. With video edited and uploaded, I switched to DIRT Rallly 2.0 - man, is this game gorgeous - and after inviting my friend Karol, we played for a while at Poland track. I'm planning to take day off from editing videos just to train driving in this game. I wish I had a working racing wheel though.
Half-Life: Opposing Force was on the menu next. Together with my friend who I mentioned, we taken on the task of finishin all the games in Half-Life series. We're currently really far in Opposing Force - an expansion pack for the first game - and we expect to finish it in one or two more sittings. The game introduces a lot of new weapons and enemies, and expands on the lore, giving a different perspective to the events that happened in the base game. And there was a helicopter too!
Before going to sleep, I recorded, edited and uploaded gameplay video on Volkswagen Tuareg, staying true to what I said about uploading two videos on a channel per day. Now this was a SUV that I liked. What else? Some GTPlanet lurking, and going to sleep. As of this writing it's 9:56AM, and I'm ready to go on with my day - which you'll read about in the next entry.
Till later. Stay tuned and stay safe.

Afternoon
Hello everybuddies.
As I promised, here is the second entry for today. So, after morning gymnastics and some delicious, delicious cereal for breakfast I proceeded to spam the heck out of this blog to all my friends on Facebook and beyond. It is true that I write this blog mainly for myself as stated in the first post, but I also hope that reading what I write will be entertaining to others.
Now, one of my best purchases of the recent years was an ebook reader. Not in small way because of my friends Magda and Mati, I grew to love the written word. I tend to spend quite some time reading books and webnovels, especially one particular novel as late: The Wandering Inn. Imagine you being thrown to a fantasy world. The unforgiving, dark fantasy kind of world, that for some weird reason obeys mechanics of roleplaying games, that is, it has people leveling, gaining skills and classes. The concept of it was appealing to me from the start, and after couple chapters, I was hooked. One thing to note: this novel is long, like really long, and the author - going by the name of pirateaba - is a real speed demon when it comes to writing. And it doesn't come at the cost of quality. Currently I'm close to finishing volume 2 - which means, only 5 volume more to go ;)
Now, I read a chapter, and then - to make this blog title's justice - picked up my phone and started playing some games. First: Real Racing 3. As of this moment I'm completing exclusive series in Mercdes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (damn, now that'sa mouthfull), and AWD Attack in Hyundai I20 WRC. Exclusive series are one of the ways of earning gold without spending real money (which I prefer doing). After couple attemps a both Endurance and Cup races - Silverstone and Red Bull Ring Afternoon respectively - I didn't manage to secure any good places, so I took a break to play some Asphalt 8: Airborne. This game looks really good for a mobile game, although the amount of reflections make it kinda hard to make it out where are you going (especially on Tokyo track). This, or I am gradually going blind. Out of three games (Real Racing, No Limits, Asphalt) I would say this is the most arcade''y of them all. Just a lot of insane, fast-paced fun. I started playing it yesterday, and I most recently completed Audi vs Tesla challenge, somewhere in the middle of the Career mode's Season 1. Coming up next: Audi R8 e-tron
What else? Today I plan on recording at least two videos for my Youtube channel, as I'm getting close to having all F class TDU Platinum cars covered. After that, I'm planning on recording a Top 10 F Class Cars video, this time around with my voiceover, yay. I'm trying to make my content more entertaining and diverse - I'm particularly looking towards some content from Forza, but my intend to make Racing Spirit cover wide spectrum of racing games.
I'll write another one either today evening or tomorrow morning. That's it from me at this moment. Stay tuned and stay safe.

Mornin'
Hello everybuddies.
Lately (as in, yesterday), I felt the need to express myself in some way. It has a lot to do with my poor mental health, as I'm looking for a way to feel better. So I came up with the idea of a diary blog of sorts, which - I hope - will help me feel better. Basically, I will describe to you each day of my life as a gamer, as the name of my blog states. My favourite videogame genres are racing games, and RPGs - in this order - so you can expect a lot of descriptions of races or quests. Or racing quests, even more preferablhy. You also might like to know I'm a youtuber - although just starting up - going by the moniker of Racing Spirit. I'm uploading videos daily and constantly looking for a way to make them most interesting to watch. I usually manage to upload from 2 to 3 videos a day and currently I'm busy recording and editing videos from Test Drive Unlimited: Platinum - a massive mod to somewhat older and forgotten racing game that I used to love. I have a few ideas how to grow and diversify my channel in the future, along with the videos with voiceover by yours truly. I also have a friend who is really good at racing games, who I hope will help me with it.
As a small mention, I'm studying webdevelopment somewhat sporadically - frontend, specifially, as in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I am hoping to some day make a living off of it, but I realize that to make it happen I will need to study much more, a part of what I hope writing this blog will help me to achieve.
As of writing this entry, it's 7:53 AM and I just woke up 40 minutes ago and almost immediately started writing. I think I need some coffee. Yesterday I went to sleep after midnight (which wasn't really yesterday, now was it) after extensive lurking on GTPlanet's forum, and playing some racing games on my phone. As of now I have 3 major Android racing games installed - Asphalt 8: Airborne, Real Racing 3, and Need for Speed: No Limits, which I play when I have nothing better to do. I'll write more on them when I play them, probably later today. What else? Coronavirus. As of now I'm under a quarantine, being allowed only two times a week to go out and do some grocery shopping, which is even more a shame, because weather is great. Hopefully, all this craziness will end in couple months. The only upside of this situation is that there is much more time to play games and watch some Netflix, lol. Especially since my Steam backlog is massive. For now I'll spam the newest video on my channel to some Discord servers and Facebook groups, and then I'm off to do some morning gymnastics.
I'll write more later today. Stay tuned, I guess.

Yesterday I went to sleep after midnight (which wasn't really yesterday, now was it) after extensive lurking on GTPlanet's forum, and playing some racing games on my phone. As of now I have 3 major Android racing games installed - Asphalt 8: Airborne, Real Racing 3, and Need for Speed: No Limits, which I play when I have nothing better to do. I'll write more on them when I play them, probably later today. What else? Coronavirus. As of now I'm under a quarantine, being allowed only two times a week to go out and do some grocery shopping, which is even more a shame, because weather is great. Hopefully, all this craziness will end in couple months. The only upside of this situation is that there is much more time to play games and watch some Netflix, lol. Especially since my Steam backlog is massive. For now I'll spam the newest video on my channel to some Discord servers and Facebook groups, and then I'm off to do some morning gymnastics.
I'll write more later today. Stay tuned, I guess.
