Elma is A Life Style ---------------------------------- A topic that always comes up everywhere when talking about games are life style topics. What does that mean? If you play a game 24/7 and not does anything else except playing that game does that make a game your lifestyle? What is a life style? Why are we so obsessed with calling games a life style? Why do we claim the game we are playing at the moment the best game ever made and why do we say it's our life style?? Why is Elma a life style? What makes Elma perfect? What makes kuskits all over the world to play Elma? What makes kuskis all over the world to breathe Elma? The only answer i can come up with is that Elma is perfect. Is it? Is Elma really the perfect game we think it is? The answer is that no game can be perfect but i would claim that Elma is damn close to perfection! And that my friends are why we do breathe Elma, we do make externals, we keep on burning our fingers until we can get a good time on a level. Thats why we make externals with the special thing that gives other kuskits goosebumps from playing it. I wouldn't say that playing Elma 24/7 would make it your life style, you can play Elma for less than 30 minutes a day and still claim it to be your life style. Why? Becauze it is, you breathe it, you play it, you talk about it, you dream about it, you dream about the record u took the last night, you dream about the great level u did with the perfect bumps and perfectly placed textures or background pictures. We have kuskits all across the planet making amazing levels, amazing ride, psychadelical recs, yeah you know what i mean! We are the ones that makes Elma perfect! We are the engine that goes on and on in the kuskis bike! We are the true heart and meaning of Elma, i mean what would Elma be without all the contest, hundreds of teams, thousands of homepages with tons of good information!! I'll tell you, it would just be another game in the pile. And this my friend is why Elma is a life style and will always be a life style! I would claim that no human beeing or no other computer game, at least not in a million years, could accomplish what Elma have accomplished in its few years. And that is bringing all these nations together! ---------------------------------- Ali Dorani AKA nemo^ 2001-09-06
