Ten days from today. Welcome to seven days to play
your Weekly, mobile gaming, review program.
I am Sam. And I'm Edwin each week.
We challenged one other to play a new mobile game in this week.
It fell to me and I chose No Limit drag racing, duh as a call
in France or two. If you're in the US.
Would you mind reading the Apple App Store description?
No, let me drag racing to is a 2021 game from autonomous Sam.
And some of the other games are off-road Outlaws.
Pro Series drag racing No Limit. Drag racing wingsuit proximity
project. So they're all about those
extreme sports. And, yes, I would love to read
you. The Apple App Store description,
so I just jumped right here because I'm so curious about
like, what they're going to say about this game.
Well, they they start off strong.
The best Drag Racing game you've ever seen?
Hmm. Bold claim.
G of drag racing games is back and better than ever.
No limit to a point 0 2, dot o has taken all the things that
made the original game. Great and turn the dial to 11
that's a little spinal tap reference for people that don't
know. Hmm.
Yes more tuning more customizations, better physics.
Better mechanics and more content than the original game
could have ever had could ever have had but Get have had.
Yes, that's why I tripped me up a little bit there.
Let us see like us on Facebook at
http://facebook.com/autismlive me, drag racing note.
The app is brand-new, if you find a bug, please give me a
chance to fix it before leaving a negative review or not is
sweet. But tricky features, I'll just
do a quick high level feature rundown full customization for
your cars car shows online multiplayer.
Tune your car. Maybe we should have done a.
Maybe we should do it. Seven days to play.
No Limit drag race live one-hand.
Okay, we'll see. We'll see.
We shall attempt it. Modifications and free.
It is AD supported and completely free to download.
I have to ask you had one? Yeah.
Do you live your life? A quarter mile at a time?
Okay. I I do not was your choice.
Was your choice influence in any way by the recent Fast and
Furious movie. I can see why you would think
that. And maybe subconsciously, but,
no, not actively. I will say, I don't think I've
actually seen a, maybe I've seen the first fast and furious movie
white key. Yeah.
Can you give me your best Vin Diesel impersonation?
Something about family, but with a bee in their family, just say
family as like, the lowest voice you can possibly do.
Bumble. All right, let me try.
I've been practicing. Okay good.
Badly, chill sap. That gave me chills.
No, I don't really live my life, a quarter mile.
At a time. I live.
I kind of live my life, more in driving, moccasins and cruising
slowly in the slow lane. That's the way to do it.
I mean, yeah. You, you live your life 30?
30 miles per hour at a time, which is, yes!
Much better for your health and safety.
Well, let's get into the game. It is really a drag race.
Game. It's a drag racing.
I don't think we've actually played a drag an out-and-out
drag racing game on this very show.
We've done, certainly racing games, lap based games, but not
living a quarter, mile at a time.
So I think the key of drag racing is all about timing.
Well obviously like your car needs to be very powerful.
Oh yeah. And I hear also if you put it in
the most ugly wraps and decals that does also make it faster,
sure, obviously it doesn't ER if the weight of your car heavier
the better, usually the bigger the engine, the better tires
need to be a certain temperature and stickiness according to this
game which I think I can believe.
Yeah, sure. I mean, you're if you're an F1
plus and they talk about higher temperature a lot, don't they?
That's it. Oh, it totally.
Yeah, they actually keep the tires warm at all times, even
when they're not racing within a little blankie, little blanket,
little charged up blanket, powered by kit and there at 100
degrees. Oh my God.
Yeah, it's very hot. Yeah, I could fry an egg but you
can't fry an egg. You probably, you can poach an
egg woman egg. Yeah, yeah.
Tires are a big thing and drag racing.
They also need to be slightly deflated.
Because the rotation of the tires, sometimes could pop a
overly inflated car tire, right? Because because it gets so hot.
Yeah, yeah, expands boom to my right.
Um, but yeah, I mean, I don't really know a lot about drag
racing, do you? I'd win the first.
I mean, I own driving moccasins. So yeah, clearly I'm not the
right target audience for this. Who knows, maybe drop maybe
these drag racers. Do we're driving moccasins
probably have special driving shoes, but I'm not sure if they
are, you know luxurious suede with those little knobbly novels
on the bottom. So I do.
Let's talk about No Limit drag racing too.
So It's a drag racing game. Meaning that you know there's no
steering you just go straight. Initially, the reason why I
asked about if you know about drag racing is because I was
hoping in some way, I would learn more about drag racing
from this game, but right, there's, that content seems to
be pretty missing and I feel like if it's such a niche type
of racing, right? I would expect some sort of
like, hey here is the world of drag racing where you go, you go
as fast as you can for quarter-mile, right?
I would have like some sort of tutorial to really get me into
the spirit of drag racing. But I found that to be very
missing and it just like jumps you straight.
And I guess for people that kind of expect more drag racing game
play, like, that's great, but I don't know.
Like, I kind of yearn for drag race knowledge.
They do give you a brief tutorial, right?
You need to warm the tires, you then have your launch control
and then go go go. But yeah, even I found the
controls a little confusing to begin with.
There were certainly a couple of races where it turns out.
If you take your finger off launch control, you can't put it
back on to reset. So our boy better keep that
finger on there. Otherwise it's quite a sad.
Start to go to have good limping out of the gate while we while
you're Oval blasts off at 60 miles an hour and that wasn't
super clear like exactly when you go from the tire warm-up
session or process through two, then the waiting on the line.
Also not clear what you're supposed to do, right?
Comes out. You just wait, nothing nothing
for you to do as a player. And so, yet begin with, I was
like, oh, is this a difficult game?
But I think is, maybe I'll just clumsy.
I don't know if you had that same experience, or I was just
Too excitable by pressing buttons.
Well, here's the thing. I wasn't, I was like trying to
save the tires a little bit, you know, initially you're supposed
to like kind of melt out the tires, to get them to a certain
temperature but there apparently is a good way to like melt your
tires to the right temperature. There's like a little
temperature gauge for your tires.
Hmm. And you have to just, you know,
keep your finger down on that accelerator until like the
tires, get to the the green part of that little M.
And then you're like, oh and then your tires are all ready to
go. But I was kind of like, you
know, tapping it not really just like putting my finger down on
it because I felt like, oh do I want to wear out my tires?
You know my my tires are very precious.
That's the whole key to this drag racing.
Yes, I've been to Jiffy Lube. This is the painting but to get
my tires rotated. Yeah, true true.
True true. It's not super clear.
There is also a whole mechanic of upgrades and engine upgrades
and modifications and is also not entirely clear how that
relates to as you say the kind of stress and wear and tear,
their you get on the drag strip and how that translates back to
like, oh what maintenance do I need to do?
Do I need to send it into Pep Boys who?
Yeah, it's not. That wasn't really ever explain
to you, right? Yeah, even though the very first
start, You know, it sort of just puts you into the screen and you
have like, this car selection thing.
Mmm. Yeah, that was like a really
rough start for me because I wasn't sure what to do.
Like, do I select a car? Do I need to know anything about
these cars in order for me to make a wise decision?
And it was really like the entire thing was just like
really wide open. So it was hard for me to get a
sense of like what car should I start out with?
I know, I only have like forty thousand dollars to spend Should
I like right? You know, like it was just there
was no guidance in that section so I don't know.
Also like the car is not having their names was kind of odd.
Like I knew like one was a Camaro good, like one was like
like a Dodge Charger, but because I'm sure like this
person this game doesn't want to get sued from like the car
companies, like they left a name out, but yes, it's blatantly
obvious. Like these are the cars like
Sort of kind of Quasi names would have been great as some
other games do. But yeah, like I was just kind
of like it was a very cold start.
Oh, I like the tires, unlike the tires.
Okay, Sam. Should we have a race?
Yes, let's go through it, okay. So say I think if you press race
and then multiplayer Connecting Savvy about the Supra.
Nice. I think it's a classic.
Yes! Oh, that is very classic, Fast
and Furious, and of course, he chose a Mustang.
Do you like my decal? Work?
Yours is very classy about to say.
Mine is not a seat. You got the flames and the
American flag. I see, I see what you're going
for. Well, you know, I have the
experience of driving stick well you know you know I do have the
experience, I grew up driving stick.
So you know what can I say? I did upgrade my car a little
bit but not too much but I think.
Yeah well congrats let's see. I did graduate of Mi.
You think you are now living a quarter.
Mile at a time I did the quarter mile in 11 seconds you were in
thirteen point eight seconds, mmm 40 seconds.
That's like that's that's more than 10 miles and the stuff
happens when you put up but a Mustang against the Supra.
Let's get to the three, by threes, three things good and
three things bad. Let's start with you Edwin.
What is a good thing about No Limit drag racing to.
There is a whole bunch of customizations.
You can do, if you are a bit of a cornered, which I think I'd
need admit, I am a bit of a car person.
All your favorites are here, you, they are not labels, but
you will recognize them. You have your Camaros have an
American Muscle Cars, you have your Japanese Imports.
You might have some like old classic cars like the, under the
hot rods. It's a whole bunch of them are,
which are, I don't know. I kind of like that.
I totally understand if you're not a car person.
This is like, I, what are these? I don't care, but you can
customize to your heart's content if you want flames and
the American flag. Oh my gosh, I realize now my car
is, the I am burning the American flag.
That is very unpatriotic. I will be how will be canceled.
If anyone ever saw my car, Another flag is going so fast
that it is turning into flames. Mmm.
That's what it means. You're not burning it, you're
not actively burning it. It is being anxious, because
it's components. Yeah, okay, okay.
Yeah, I'd say if you're in for a drag racing experience and a
mobile form like this pretty much captures that, right?
Like, you know, they I feel like they've really streamlined what
a drag racing experience is it's about that launch control.
It's about timing of the shifts. And then it's really about
upgrading your stuff to find better time, right?
And I'm sure it gets like pretty complicated later on, where you
can even set the gap of what that timing is going to be like
between gear shifts. So it's like Optimal.
But yeah, like if you want a pretty complete and robust drag
racing experience, this is the game to check out for free.
Yeah, it was obvious a like it did get my adrenaline pumping a
little bit, like, as you as the opponent's go on.
Its, yeah, I don't know what kind of into it, at least, to
begin with II question like the longevity of it, because as
well. I'm sure we'll get these two in
the bad points, but it is a reasonably simple game, like,
you're holding launch. Once the was the green goes
green floor. It change gears.
Once you, when you hit the red, when you want to have red line.
It I believe as the as the Fanatics would Look how people
would say that's kind of it, but to begin with, it was I was an
insane by it and I enjoyed it and felt a sense of competitive
till competitiveness about. I mean, there's beating say, I
work that went into it, right? Like, it's completely 3D cars,
you can actually customize them, change their colors, the
accuracy as well. Use, that's what you should be
doing when you say that, like, sure, they're probably not
officially licensed but they are legit.
I recognize all of them, they look good.
Right, my next good point is that, you know, it is a pretty
in-depth game where you can do races to win money and then
upgrade your car and feel those improvements, right?
Which is, I believe what happens in The Fast and Furious movies.
No, totally. Except, you know, you have to go
to space with your car, which I don't think this game covers,
right? And then maybe some of the
earlier less PC ones. You win women, or something like
that? Yes, wow.
Don't win the women. The women choose to be with the
person that wins. Hmm, I see.
Okay, yeah, okay. But yeah, like, they're, you
know, it creates a pretty good virtuous cycle of games where
you win, you get money, you buy gear, you feel the difference,
and then you win again, and then you get money.
And so, it's a pretty good Loop in terms of being able to, you
know, upgrade yourself in this game.
It has multiplayer. It's kind of fun.
We gotta play it. Pretty easy to set up.
I we've definitely tried to play multiplayer games in the past
and new boy, it's been difficult to get that set up.
But hey you just elope server room.
She had a private code. Boom.
You have a seamless? Yeah, we were up and raising
against each other in no time. And got to see her car.
Got to see your aesthetic us and questionable choices.
And you've you totally left me in the dust.
Let's get on to the bad points. Edwin, Yeah, I think is a little
rough around the edges in terms of the UI and just generally,
how you navigate around there. While there is a lot of
customization options navigating through them is tricky.
I was a not particularly slick, feeling right?
It took me a long time to get to figure out how to get my custom
wraps aligned and all the rest of it.
Like it's amazing that that exists and you can like stretch
and scale and layer do all the other stuff like translucency
and all my gosh, all this stuff but it's certainly has a
slightly brutalist aesthetic to it which I'm trying to figure
out how to navigate through the through the game.
Yeah. I'd say, you know, it's some of
the stuff that I talked about earlier where I wish there was
more context around drag waist, right?
Drag Racing for me to to make me a fan of drag racing.
Like I understand the concept like you get what you expect but
then you don't it doesn't make you a fan.
I don't think it really enables. Like normies to become fans of
drag racing and I think, you know, some some games should
write. Like if I was interested in
racing, I think there's lots of stuff around racing that can
like really in a you and I wish there was a little bit more of
that a little bit more of telling you, hey, it's all about
the timing or like Like, it doesn't matter which car you
choose. It's all about, like, improving
it down the line, like that kind of stuff that can really
motivate you to get it going. Yeah, yeah.
I wish there was a little bit more of that.
Yeah. You are, you shouldn't be taking
the Mazda CX-9 out onto the Mean Streets of New Jersey to find a
drag race, although they do have a minivan.
Oh, amazing. Which people actually drag race
with, that's amazing. Like I'll be of a song you would
fit in the back of a minivan, totally.
Like, I think I seen so many like, Honda Odysseys that are
absolutely souped-up. That are drag racing.
So yeah, easily. So, my next bad point is the
like you said, like, the interface is pretty brutal,
like, it is not easy to really figure your way around, even
after race, after you've like won the race, the to what seems
to appear like as a two, main buttons is either like replay
the race which is having that replay capability is really
cool. Or like re race which are kind
of confusing and then like the continue and to proceed, would
like the next map or like, selecting a next race on the
map. This is in career mode.
By the way, it's like tucked in the upper left-hand Corner,
which is kind of like a back motion.
Yes, I found that to be a little confusing and that kind of like
principles around, like, the game is all throughout, right?
So it's like, not really. I wish it was a little bit
smoother. I actually realized the
difference there because if you go back to the map so your
career mode, you see the map of the US and you can race all
over. There's actually two types of
races you can do, you can do one a quick race.
Hmm. Which I think is exactly.
I ran into your issue as well as like okay.
How do I raise the next person do this quick quick.
Race is just one off but as you also a tournament and if you
enter the tournament one, then you get a nice, big fat button
to say, go to the next next component.
Next opponent. Interesting.
So, it's knowing that, it makes it a little bit more sense but
still it should be easier. Just to go back and I'm not
quite sure the need for the distinction between quick races
and to replay a quick race. Really there to be a big button
to go. Like back to the map and find
another quick race. But yeah, I certainly found that
To be confusing as well. Maybe tell us a little bit
before but once you get the hang of slamming the accelerator down
and zooming off the line, the eye, I wonder how deep the
gameplay really is there is an event mode which apparently is
coming soon where you can race in Daily, and weekly events
against the best of the best exclamation points.
But still seems in terms of actual gameplay, I suppose, it
probably comes. How much can you upgrade your
car and that is probably Where the game is unlocking, new
cosmetic items and upgrades people over got your pong game
than the racing itself and and that aspect, like, I think, you
know, I've made like a few adjustments to the car, but it
classy, you'll call choices, right?
I like keeping things stock except for internals, this is
just like a basic principle that I do have with cars.
Like well, say yes. So even if I do upgrades, Add
the engine and stuff like that, like, I don't know if I actually
notice the difference when I'm actually playing a drag race,
try racing me again sunshine. But yes, it's true and like the
career mode and I wish like some of that stuff was evident and a
few other ways rather than just like how fast you appear to be
going with. You know, that's why I like
console games kind of work really well because there's
vibration that you can handle. There's even like an in seat
view that can that can do a little bit more to really make
you feel like the car is going faster or like the sound effects
that really amplify. Like, oh, this engine sounds a
little bit different or like, when you have the turbo
installed, like, you can actually hear the turbo, like,
kick in. We're like the high pitch sound
but like, yeah, I don't know if I've actually noticed any of
that and it's just like, you know, a numbers thing where it's
like, incrementally improving like some timing thing.
So I found that to be a little bit disappointing.
Yeah. Sam.
What is your final seven-day rating for No Limits?
Drag racing to minus 78 is three days.
Got a good sense of the game. I like that.
There's it's a pretty complete Game for free that you can
totally experience. But to me like the loop of
upgrading didn't really feel too good and yeah I don't know if
I'm going to continue to play it.
Like I think while this is a really good attempt on mobile,
I'd probably play these kind of games on consoles.
The me it is a full day. I might guy might sort of all
keep it around a little bit. I might want to take the Mustang
out for a spin until I can own the real thing.
It was a yeah it's kind of fun. I am interested to see kind of
how it develops after I complete the first tournament but yeah
the UI and the user the user experience and the layout makes
it's a little bit of a tough ask.
If you're not super into car racing and you want to kind of
dig deep into it, But if what if me free available in the Apple
App Store it, now if you like your car's certainly worth
checking out. There's lots of really good
stuff. Like you can actually tune your
car, you can change the suspension.
Lots of stuff that I think real car people would love, but the
fact that it's not really explained to me on like what the
benefits are for a kind of a car newbie, like myself kind of lost
me. So if it can improve those
things may be put in some like helpful guidance on like how to
upgrade your Car in like, why you're upgrading it?
Yeah, I think this would be a really interesting game to just
keep carrying around and upgrading your car.
Well, that was my choice. So Sam it falls to you to pick
the game for next week. Edwin.
Papa, papa papa. Papa Edwin.
Hello. This is kind of an expensive
game, but You have seven expensive on the business?
Yes, of course. You can use the company card.
Okay, good. You, you have seven days to play
overboard? Exclamation mark, and you get
away with murder? And how much is this expensive
game in the Apple App Store? Sam 599.
That's like a deck dot coffee. Oh yeah, for sure.
Well, it does have the editors Choice Crest.
So here, love approval, will it? Get the seven days?
Crest of approval, come back next week to find out Sam before
we go. Do you ever think of the week?
I do have a thing of the week. So, We are planning a trip which
is very hush-hush. Because tell me though, it's and
trip. All of our hundreds of listeners
the family. We're going to a I'm sorry the
what the, what the family, okay, thank you.
And I haven't done this in a while, but I picked up a Lonely
Planet book for that country. Wow, so Archer we're not we're
not going until like December but I figured it's going to be
really good to you know really digest all the capabilities for
that country before actually going there.
And I'm looking forward to digging into this Lonely Planet
book and All the stuff that I find relevant and useful and
informational, hmm, understanding the maps locations
of where we are the cultural and history of all the all the
spots. Have you ever done that before?
Let's see. I feel like I do have I maybe go
on for Paris one when we went and I feel like is bunnies.
One of those things is very good is useful when you're preparing
and thinking about it, but I feel like once you're there, I
my least in my case, I maybe I didn't use it as much one time
there, it was more kind of getting context and thinking
about it and and preparing it was very useful, then yeah.
Yeah. Once I was there, it wasn't so
much and I think that's what I'm looking forward to, right?
It's like I have all this time to like get ready for it.
So I'll know what type of clothes to bring kind of prepare
for that. I know what type of camera to
bring? How to prepare for that, right?
So it goes to the things that I'm kind of, like I find the joy
and preparing for these things. So, yeah, and I once made the
mistake of calling a Lonely Planet book.
A Lonely Lonely Island book. When they are bands from the mid
2010's with a guy that has a dancing?
Is that is that them? That's the that's a dick in the
Box guy, guys. That's Lonely Island.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. We are thinking the same thing.
I love about the Dick in the Box thing that Enjoy the trip,
planning that does sound fun. Although slightly stressful
easy, if it's a secret trip I don't know.
That always sounds a little, the only one person in our immediate
family doesn't know and we're trying to keep it that way.
Okay, maybe that's that's slightly better Ava still.
I feel like I'd be bad that there's the secret trip
organization just because I'm a yeah.
Okay. Well, this film for my eyes
only. I now know where Sam's secret
trip is being planned to Yeah, which I think is family makes
sense. If if you're going to we say
across an ocean, it's only helpful to get context around
that especially Yeah, like cultural cues or kids kind of
it. You what to expect?
Exactly. Right.
I think if you are certain have a person I think like me I'm
definitely an inveterate over preparer things I can totally
see the opposite people. Like I don't want to know.
I just want to turn up and that's part of the adventure and
just figuring that once, I'm there.
Right, I think if you're with a group of people, we have small
kids and like, you're traveling, absolutely, you need to prepare
in advance and I feel like for the more popular plate, like I
wouldn't do this for like Jamaica or like Mexico, maybe
for Mexico, right? But where it's somewhere a
little bit more remote and unknown like I think it's a
great opportunity to find out more about the place.
Yeah, well enjoy. Well, you can't you just help
us. Do you have a whiles?
I do have a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bam. I think of the week is, have you
ever found yourself making a recipe?
And you need to get a call through a dash of white wine?
But it's a Tuesday and you don't have and you're not going to
open a whole bottle of wine on a Tuesday, because you're not an
alcoholic. Mmm, - yeah, or do you hardly
have wine opener? Maybe like, are you asking
Specifically for wine, or what I'm saying?
Beautiful experience that operative?
Yeah of course yeah like I need buttermilk is something you
never have and all of a sudden the recipe calls for buttermilk.
I mean there are ways to make buttermilk but you just put H
milk. No you put a little bit of lemon
or vinegar and regular milk. It kind of turns into butter
milk right on a cuddles it or whatever it needs to do.
Yeah, so I've kind of in so in that situation I would point
just skip putting in little splash of white wine or
deglazing. The Pan as I know, that's kind
of shaped like a boot like that but at the same time, I'm not
going to open a whole bottle of wine here is my solution.
I think of the week, a bottle of dry vermouth.
Oh there you can open it. It doesn't go bad because that's
the other things. Like if it's a Tuesday, open
bottle wine, like importantly, drink this until Friday.
Sure, by which time You know, it's not gonna be as good as it
was dry vermouth. That's got a high alcohol
content that will happily sit on the Shelf as needed.
And you can also make yourself a vodka martini if needed, sure,
so that I don't I don't think vermouth is a good replacement
for buttermilk. No, it was about wine, Sam Wine,
Not buttermilk. You put some in buttermilk to
make it even more delicious. Let's hear.
Okay. So you're being very specific
about an instance of just a splash of wine.
I thought you meant like oh when you're missing something from a
recipe that you need and no, no, I cannot replace a dry vermouth
with any ingredient that you're missing.
No, I thought that's what you're suggesting is, crazy.
No. But as a sort of shelf-stable,
white wine replacement in your recipe, and I think they have
and it's pretty cheap was like 15, 20 bucks, a bottle.
And you can keep us away. My go-to is always like the
cooking sake, which I always have whenever it calls for wine
or anything alcoholic. Like that seems to be a pretty
safe replacement for it, because it does have that alcoholic
quality as well as a clean taste as to not offend anything that
you might be doing. Yeah, that's good.
Good tip as well. And then, you can drink Sake as
well. Totally.
Well, actually, you shouldn't drink cooking sake because it's
very, like, it's not, oh, it's like we're drinking, okay?
It's gonna be like disgusting and that is our show come back
and join us in seven days when we play our web overboard.
Exclamation mark, do not go overboard.
Hmm. No, that's like that 80s movie.
I think there was a Probably Russell oaf, and the procedure
Trestle was married to forget her name.
So, be Shoppin. Oh, not Meg Ryan.
No. I can almost see the the post of
floors. Yeah, submarine maybe.
But maybe I'm since I punched a little bit overboard, you know,
it. Don't go overboard.
If you have any gaming suggestions, tweet us or find us
on Instagram at seven days to play Goldie Hawn, Goldie Hawn,
that's it. Yes, thank you perfect.
Thank you my gosh. Sam you have to see this the
