I’ve tried getting into Euro Truck Simulator 2 a couple of times, but never quite “got” it – it just felt like a dressed up version of Desert Bus (you just can’t beat the developer commentary in the remaster). This time, however, it clicked. As I was driving in to Glasgow, the rain started falling while I was listening to Time After Time on some Polish radio station. It felt good. It felt peaceful. My commute isn’t that long these days, so this gives the perfect excuse to catch up on Podcasts. I can definitely see myself playing this for many hours (even if it has Train Simulator levels of DLC problems) – though I’m now tempted to get a racing wheel….
It’s a strange world we live in, where someone can pay money to participate in a simulated experience of a profession that others describe as living in a “prison on wheels.”
That thought definitely occurred to me.
