Well at least that's how I do it in real life and it's great fun imo. Try having both things available at the same time so it's no more a game about just driving and messaging speed but also how the player decides to switch between the two."},{"author_name":"deepnight","author_uid":"2982","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:30pm","epoch":1377519900,"text":"Excellent take over the theme! :) I laughed continuously watching the gameplay video."},{"author_name":"CuberToy","author_uid":"10985","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:37pm","epoch":1377520320,"text":"Enjoyed it, really fun interpretation of the theme."},{"author_name":"methamphetabear","author_uid":"23237","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:57pm","epoch":1377521520,"text":"Ingenius!"},{"author_name":"Patrick Bollinger","author_uid":"25184","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 2:19pm","epoch":1377526440,"text":"Wow, really nice game."},{"author_name":"quill18","author_uid":"7862","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 2:31pm","epoch":1377527160,"text":"Brilliant concept!"},{"author_name":"Calahagus","author_uid":"18103","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 2:37pm","epoch":1377527520,"text":"That was hilarious! I found myself groaning when I had to type out more than 3 letters (something something disrespectful generation) and the landscape was fun to look at, I mean, when I didn't have to respond to a text of course.
