    guess I will just drive an 18 wheeler around again to relax.
    :-)


    ALways a good way to unwind... although I'm taking a temporary break
    from that until the next expansion pack drops.


    For what it's worth: the release date of the next expansion to ATS
    just dropped. It'll add the state of Illinois and it's coming out on
    May 14th. So I guess I know what I'll be playing NEXT month ;-)

    (Does saying this ahead of time excuse me from having to write out a
    'what have you been playing' response on June 1st? ;-)

    You are excited about Ilionois? What am I missing? Is this the last
    state?

    Chicago. He'll get to run over mobsters! :D

    No, just the NEXT one. I've already fully explored all the other ones,
    and -as mentioned earlier- the release of this expansion gives me a
    reason to come back to the game.

    There isn't, I don't think, anything special about the Illinois
    expansion beyond that. I just like the game.

    Coming soon: an expansion pack that links up American Truck Simulator
    with the Mafia games! Relive the exciting 1920 adventures of
    up-and-coming 'goodfella' Tommy Angelo... except this time he has a
    30-ton truck! ;-)

    Not quite the same, but a planned expansion for ATS is adding
    driveable cars to the mix. The Illinois expansion is the first map to
    take this into consideration with its design, and I look forward to
    driving through the (abbreviated) Chicago map in a muscle-car ;-)

    Will there be a GTA1 style Gouranga?

    If it was in Jersey it would of course be "Fuhgeddaboudit".
