We Dare

If I'm 15 years younger, I'll definitely be looking forward to playing this game (on Wii or PS, developed by Ubisoft) described here. "We Dare is a sexy, quirky, party game that offers a large variety of hilarious, innovative and physical, sometimes kinky, challenges," goes Ubisoft's pitch. "The more friends you invite to party, the spicier the play!"

Sports highlights: New NASCAR season

Two months of off-season for NASCAR was too much for me and I'm glad that the new season has finally started last weekend! Daytona speedway was re-paved last year (that had to be done to avoid causing troubles for drivers like the Daytona 500 of 2010) and because of this, the new way to race there was to have 2 cars drafting together in tandem (that's the new word I taught my son during the race) It was interesting to see how the drivers made use of this. The Nationwide Series race on Saturday was pretty good. Danica Patrick led at one point (not because of other drivers went to the pit) The finish was exciting too. And then the Sprint cup race on Sunday was even better, having the youngest winner ever in Trevor Bayne. Adding a 5th Daytona 500 victory to the legendary racing team Wood Brothers was a feel-good story. On the other hand, we saw the current top team, Hendrick Motorsports, suffered during this race, in which all 4 of their drivers crashed.
