He's part of the event staff and a awesome person to know he is as I call him Kawizaki errr Kawashi
I am Michael Cameron Cutler, a 19-year-old college student highly interested in writing fictional literature and video gaming. Best believe that as long as there is something of interest for me, I will (attempt at least) to write a fiction story on it.
In World-Garage, I am known as many things, but above all else, I am well known as the creator of the ever-popular Performance Part Guide.Whats your favorite NFS Title?
I would have to say the original Need for Speed Underground, as it contains the least riciest customization system next to The Run. Although the visual tuning alone is not the reason for it being my favorite. In my honest opinion, it is one of very few NFS games that give me a true sense of speed, especially in my favorite compact car of all time, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Not to mention, it's the only NFS game I've played with a tolerable story.
What are you doing when not playing NFS?
When not racing my arse off, I'm doing what I do best, writing. My most notable writings have been the posts in the RPG "Bayview Nights", ran by Blahhead, and whilst I have no involvement in the starting developments of it, all I can say is that it has been an absolute honor to be a part of it.
I also have two other projects, A.R.M.E.D. and Need for Speed: Beyond Limits, a fanfiction that I have not touched for months now Along with those would be watching/reading independent or Progressive-leaning news sources and listening to video game soundtracks.Whats your favorite car within NFS World?
That would be my all-Pro 240SX. It has been with me through thick and thin, helping me stay competitive with Silvias and a few select T2s and T3s. This is the only car I refuse to sell in-game. That and my Z4 GT3.
What would you change if you were a dev on world?
First of all, optimizing the game. This time last year, I could play as much of the game as I wanted to and lag wasn’t an issue. Now, however, I have so much lag that I can only do my Treasure Hunt and a few TEs before the game - and my laptop - starts to lag badly. And then there’s car balance. While I do understand that lightweight cars are better for racing, all of the cars should have a chance. Marc speaks of making cars in every tier competitive, but the problem is that most cars in said tiers can’t compete period.
What dream car in real life would you love to drive on the autobahn?
That would be the 248 MPH beast of a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. Its ability to go from a standstill to 60 in 2.8 with the power of a GT500 Super Snake and the weight of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS makes it one of the best American supercars ever made.
What is your most memorable moment in any nfs game?
It would have to be the moment you kick Razor’s arrogant arse and get your M3 GTR back. A perfect example of “the only one who truly knows how to control the car is the owner itself”.
What brought you into the NFS franchise?
To be truthful, my first NFS game was Need for Speed III on the PC, but what really got me into the franchise were two things. The first was getting NFS Underground for the Playstation 2. It is a game that I enjoyed so much (I can’t say I still enjoy it, my PS2 died sadly
), that when I found a site by the name of NFSUnlimited.net in 2007, I joined up and started posting my works in the UG-era NFS games I owned for the PS2 (all except Carbon).Which NFS classic would you like to have in your personal garage?
The race version BMW M3 GTR. Hands down.
Favorite NFS song?

How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
I think the majority of World-Garage can agree when I say “Need for Speed World is far from perfect", what with the absurdly high Boost prices in many countries, the skewered balancing of cars, the manifestation of hackers and cheaters, and the list goes on. But hey, for all of its problems, it’s a pretty damn good MMORG. It is the only one, in my honest opinion, that has kept me interested for a good amount of time, unlike TDU2 which was a turnoff as soon as I saw the trailer. Although at least with the Murcielago now available for in-game cash, it’ll be interesting to see how well the free players fare with a Boost buyer such as myself. (Although my last purchase was in March lol)[/quote]
