Flatout 3 came to me at the perfect time in my life. Before I found this game, I was apart of aproximent 6.9 percent of people that are battling depression. Every day I wondered why I was still here because there was nothing left for me. It took all the energy I could muster just to get out of bed in the morning. I was down to my final days and I eventually just gave up and layed in bed all day. One day something inside of me caused me to get up and go check my computer to see if anybody was wondering where I was. To see if anybody still cared.... I saw that I had a steam notification. I felt the most miniscule glimmer of hope as I clicked to see what it was. All of the hope faded as I loaded up the page just to see a hunnnie pop trading card was added to my inventory. I was crushed. Just before I logged off for what I thought was the last time. I saw that there was a steam sale. I decided to take a look. When the page loaded up I saw a few games were on sale; nothing really that interesting though. Then all of a sudden my heart stoped beating and my face went pale. I read the title aloud "Flatout 3." To this day I don't know what caused me to stop at this paricular title. It was 25 percent off so I had Just enough funds in my steam walled to purchase it. I downloaded and installed the game. When I launched it my eyes began to water. I felt my lower lip quivering. The title screen alone was enough to make me feel emotions I haven't felt in a long time. Was this it? Was this my purpose? I begin to start a race and am greeted by a wide select of colourful zany characters. I went with the giraffe and a chose a race. As soon as it began, I was lost in the pure detail of the landscape and the individual personalities of the characters. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I began to cry. I felt something. Racing along side these new found friends made me feel like I wasn't alone. suddenly I had a purpose in life. This game is truly amazing and it saved my life. I could not recommend this game more. I hope that when you play this game, It will change your life like it did mine or in my case, save it.
