Spider Gigil, 2 others, Die by Overspeeding

Driving through speeds of 88 to 100 kilometers per hour, Spider Gigil died twice, maybe more. Yes he died gruesomely, multiple times! On one of those deaths, he banged at the back of an orange truck, then somersaulted as high as his motorcycle before landing head first on a bridge’s cement road. At another time, he drove a blinding speed, escaped a narrow sandwich space he found between two racing cars, but not for long, as he tried to swerve, he sideswiped onto the right rear side of that “Epal Truck.” This time he landed back first, as his fire-combusting motorcycle crashed and slid near the metal ridge of the bridge of death.

But good thing is…this is not a real, highway mishap but a game called Speed Moto, an addictive motorcycle driving game downloadable for free through Google Playstore. An Android phone can play this game.

Spider Gigil is not a name that the game creators gave one of the featured drivers in the said game. I bestowed that name since the driver wears a white body-hugging suit with a body-wide Spider drawing at its back. My 9-nine year old nephew laughs out loud at the mention of the name. Perhaps he can relate very well because he is a huge fan of Spider-Man and he agrees that “Gigil”, a Pinoy Word for eager beaver is the right word to describe that screeching, break-neck driving by Spider Gigil. The Game’s other choice drivers we also named were Blue Hornet, because he wears blue, and the other “Mang Kulas,” because he looks like an ordinary Pinoy motorist. He wears a boring golden brown suit and drives an unaesthetic brown bike. Just like Spider Gigil, Blue Hornet and Mang Kulas also crashed to their own death due to our reckless maneuvering. Blue Hornet met his death as he scored a lowly 2152 game points when he crashed onto a car, thrown from his bike, then got run over by a blue car. Mang Kulas once died at an early stage when he crashed on the railings under the shade of a queue of trees.

Epal Truck is a monacre my nephew gave it because it usually manages to interfere at the path the driver would take. The truck is absolutely fatal thus he can be called “Epal”, which means in Pinoy lingua as someone who is irritating.

Driving the motor is done through a slight tilting of the phone to dodge other vehicles. Going turbo for maximum speed is done through a press-and-hold of the touch-screen phone.

A lot of cool games and applications for Android phones, iphones, and Ipads are available for free at Google Playstore such as Temple Run, Text Twist, and Kindle Ebook Reader.
