I've seen this so many times. It gets me every time.

Ghost in the machine.

When playing Trackmania, you can record a race run (Ghost, basically) and then save it, and send it to someone else, and they can race against it. When I was working a store in 2005 we used to play some specific Tracks and send Ghosts to each other, so eventually one of us will own Ghosts that belong to someone that has passed.

It's been years since I last saw this and, yes, definitely worth sharing again.

I love touching stories in video games/motorsports 😭

"...we are two of soul." I still think about that guy sometimes.

Beautiful moment aside, this was a great game. I had the 2nd game and thrashed it. I used the save function ONE time - there was a run with a steep downhill straight followed by a small rise. One day I got so much speed up that when I hit the rise, the resulting jump was so big that I landed nose first, flipped the car straight on to the roof, kept rolling and landed perfect on my wheels again perfectly straight and kept driving. Loved that game.

hey programmers, every game should have top player ghost mode

If I remember correctly this originally was a green text from 4Chan. One of the very very few examples of something good coming from that cesspool of a site, haha

Same with my dad but the game is halo.... about 1/2 of it is ghost tea bagging and slurs.
Mobuddy
That gives me the chills 😍

There was a scene like this in the live action Speed Racer movie.

Literally a major plot point in The King’s Avatar. Cool story if true. =) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6859260/

I'll upvote this every time I see it, forever

He should handbrake the game and play it on an emulator so that he'll never lose the save file
IONE007
The save data isn't on the game disc, it's on the internal hard drive. But there should be ways to back up both for later emulator use.
buurd86
can you elaborate?
DeltaBladeX
Guessing from context, transferring the save file via backup to elsewhere and playing only the backup so the original save is safe
MostlyJeffGoldblum
"Handbrake the game"?
NightOwlRally
They may mean "jailbreak" but because the handbrake is a rally thing, I'll owllow it.
hadtochangemyusernamecauseIgotdivorced
Oh I meant literally use the program handbrake to rip the disk but I see what you did there.
madeejit
I'll owllow that too.
lrateyourrig
Or close the drive, then make an image and 3-2-1 that bitch
lrateyourrig
clone* stupid fucking smartphone i miss blackberrys
Yotarian
Ok but how the hell do you get 3-2-1 from clone? I cant imagine anything that would ever autocorrect to 3-2-1.
lrateyourrig
Close = clone. "3-2-1" is a backup method. Three backups in two mediums with 1 offsite
Yotarian
Ahh I'd never heard of that backup method. Thanks!
ImNotActuallyEvilAfterAll
Can't even tell if you are trolling or not
Yotarian
I must still be extremely tired because it was a genuine question.

Lol right? I'm gonna go ahead and take the bait anyway

This sorta comes up in the live action speed racer. In an earlier race he races against his brothers best time hologram.
onepinksheep
The critics panned it, calling it campy. I mean, have they seen the original Speed Racer? It was camp incarnate.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Brilliant movie. Much like Sense8 (also wachowski's) it was too far ahead of its time to get enough people to like it. Pretty sure the studio and marketing were too confused to know what to do with it
hetnkik999
As a huge Speed Racer fan, they absolutely NAILED that movie. Unfortunately, they nailed it too well. I loved it but I could absolutely see how anyone unfamiliar with the classic Speed Racer cartoons (which is most people) wouldn't get the tone of the movie at all.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I didn't even know of the anime before seeing the movie. Also, I didn't appreciate it that much at first, until I watched it on xtc, holy shit! XD
Lexgeddon
That movie was criminally-ignored at the time it came out. "Ninjas? More like nonjas."
thisisthefirstoneitried
Shame what passes for a ninja these days!
EmergencyDonut
Maybe we should send their marketing department some chim chim cookies
OtterlyMagnificent
It's still criminally ignored. It's still a fantastic movie.
And the fact that it is almost entirely CGI and none of the moving parts on the cars are real, is the only thing that keeps me from tearing my hair at the absolute engineering NIGHTMARE that is the suspension/steering bullshittery the Mach 5 has going on...
hickorybakedbeans
I just made my roommate watch this on Saturday. Everyrime they cut back to the racing he just kept saying "Ah, the B plot"
OtterlyMagnificent
I like your roommate. He sounds fun to watch movies with.

Just not in theaters. His inner commentary isn't always inner
