Basically if you heard of Trackmania Nations, they recently upgraded it to be compatible to players with the retail version of Trackmania and at the same time upgraded a few things in it. It now has multiple times of day and new track pieces.

If you haven't heard of Trackmania, it is basically a racing game in which you are always online trying to gain your rank. You don't have to but it is cool nevertheless. You race a track to get the best times out of everyone and the tracks vary from basic to confusing.
There is also a very distinct track editor that is very deep. Deeper than most editors by far.

And 3D Glasses support.

I recommend trying it out. It is actually quite fun.

Steam has it available for free apparently. I have yet to try it.

Yeah, it's free on Steam. I'll probably download it today.

Um... Trackmania Nations Forever is free. Outside of Steam as well.

I think the "it's free, on Steam" was an implication that it may not have been elsewhere. After all, if it's free everywhere, why mention one specific spot?

("It's also available on Steam" would have worked better, probably.)

Seems to work fine on wine with shaders 1 and no sound. :/ Performance suffered a bit since i only got about 35 FPS with everything turned all the way up on the benchmark with a geforce 8500 and it doesn't look like a very complex game.

Okay, I played it, it's pretty awesome, especially with 3D glasses

Except for on Steam, you get an ad to buy Trackmania United every time you quit, and it keeps yelling at me that it's choppy when it's not

Overall it's a great timewaster though.

Just as an aside, I know the 2nd place finisher at the world championship for the original Nations game. He got kinda screwed due to a dumb tie breaking rule (he actually tied for first).

He's called Frostbeule, if anyone cares. Anyways, downloading this.

I'm already almost top 10,000.

Haha I don't even notice my rank here most of the time.

Mostly because I'm goofing off in the track editor.

I'm doing pretty good in single-player, averaging Silver Medals

I forget what my rankings are
One of the unlockable tracks requires you to invite a friend, and then it asks if you did. Press yes and it unlocks the course
