ModNation Racers is a customizable kart racing game for the PS3 and PSP that Chris has taken a liking to. It isn't quite 2010's answer to LittleBigPlanet, but it's close.
In addition to providing autistics with the simple gameplay used in all racing games and cute, gaily-colored characters found in many children's games, ModNation Racers is heavily based around user-generated content, much like LittleBigPlanet. Chris can now foist his questionable design skills upon the world through a kart racing game.
Chris's ModNation career
When only the beta version of the game was available, Chris posted exactly 25 screen caps of him driving a yellow, Sonichu-themed cart around an empty racetrack on the CWCipedia. These were filed under "Original CWC Art". Later, after the retail version arrived, he created a number of characters and cars (images are available below), as well as a CWCville track.
It is of great concern to Chris that despite his belief that he has a large fanbase, barely anybody has bothered to download his poorly designed track and he continues to whore it out at every opportunity. On 17 July 2010, Chris updated his Twitter account for the first time in ages, begging his imaginary followers to give him codes for the "Mystery Mods" (promotional DLC packs included with the pre-ordered copies of the game[1]) and to download his CWCville track so that he could acquire yet another trophy. 26 July saw yet another Twitter update whining for downloads and positive reviews.
He also posted multiple threads on the forums at GameFAQs and Gamespot making similar demands. When his initial beg-a-thons were deleted because of those boards' anti-soliciting policies, Chris, being Chris, just went ahead and posted them again.
Despite having all the free time in the world, Chris is mediocre at ModNation Racers. This should come as little of a surprise. After racing in 500-plus contests, Chris has only "won" 100 of these (with a noticeable "Disconnected" and "Did Not Finish" tally indicating some tard-rage present).

Post-Beta creations
It's now generally accepted that if you give Chris a character creation tool, he'll make himself and then Sonichu. ModNation Racers is no exception.
Chris
The cars Chris has created actually contain a few relatively faithful replicas of real cars. Inside sources report that this isn't Chris taking an interest in cars, but Chris taking an interest in Hot Wheels toys. How very mature.
