Trackmania Forever is out guys! Time to melt the tread on the track. Here’s a little video to make you drool on the keyboard.

On the other news… the guys at deviantartART, togheter with The World Ends With You (TWEWY) developers, are running a contest about TWEWY concept art for heroes, villains, npcs, enemies and backgrounds. I submitted an entry: Punkinello. Comments are always welcome
The contest will close on April 22nd and winners will be announced on May 2nd. Wish me luck.

Let’s look at the bright side, the recently unemployed Nick Carver gave us some cool artworks for TS4.
