This guy I guess, never heard of him either.

okay, maybe it's not the greatest thing ever, I posted that right after I played and I was all hyped up lol. I do really like it though

I haven't tried it yet, I will, but I just have to say your posting style is probably the most entertaining on the entire forum

Edit: ZOMFG!!111!!1!!1!oneoneeleventeyone!!!! That's the coolest game ever!!! It's seriously what I've always wished Geometry Wars was!! It's even more insane and fast paced that Geometry Wars with better controls. OMFG I love it!!

The XRR surprises me, as does the FXR. I do like the XRR, I love the FXR but I don't race the GTR class much anymore. It's interesting how this stuff works.

Not bad, poked around and I quite like it actually

Hehe, my first lap of the 'Ring in 2.5 years had no spins and was almost a minute faster than my old PB

Maybe playing Forza for hundreds of laps around the ring really does help...

That's really odd, with my DFP the force feedback in GPL feels great. Maybe mess around with the profiler settings or something. I just use 100% force feedback strength and 300 degree rotation and it feels fine to me.

For some reason I installed it just 2 days ago. It doesn't like my soundcard so I have to run it with almost no hardware sound acceleration but it's still a blast to drive I actually still have my original CD from 9 years ago, I got it the very month it came out in the US Still no real scratches either, I'm keeping that disc forever

It truly is amazing how fun a 9 year old game can be. I fired it up again and proceeded to take 45 seconds off my PB at the Nurburgring... I'm 3 seconds off the benchmark now, I'll get there this week I'm sure

I believe this is the hottest car ever, although I prefer it in black

It's the best looking of any modern supercar, and it has a proper 6 speed manual transmission with a real clutch...

Not to mention the builder of the dp1 HAS an Ariel Atom, one with a V8 that weighs less than that Civic lump, and has more power. The dp1 was built for the sole purpose of outperforming that Ariel Atom, it has the same engine, downforce, all wheel drive, and a lot less weight. I can tell you which one I'd rather have....

It's pretty nice yes, but it's not like, "ZOMG T3H AWESOME!!!!!!." My girlfriend has a tablet for her PC, and she does stuff that's just as nice as that. I'm not trying to bash the guy's skills, as he obviously has more artistic talent than me, but there's a lot of people who can do stuff like that

What he means it you can make an autocross layout and put the start position anywhere you want, unfortunately, you start standing still, so it's not quite the same.

It's not lake effect, it's just one huge low pressure system that covered the entire US.

I took a screenshot of the weather system the other night

On monday we had basically no snow, now we have this







Check out the rest of them here

I love it, we got like 30 inches here, it's been snowing constantly since Tuesday

655 WPM on that test.

Right now I'm between authors and don't get much time to read, but I'm a huge Jules Verne fan. Dan Brown's books are also pretty good to read.

Volkswagen Nardo concept? That was actually my first guess, but I said Eclipse instead...

New Eclipse?

OMG these are amazing!! I just watched them all
ROFL!!

Yup, I run both Rockbox and the original firmware, and it works just fine

I have a Toshiba Gigabeat F20 by the way

Dual booting is a bit sketchy though, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but the Gigabeat build is only a few weeks old, it's better supported on other MP3 players

And I'd just like to be the first to say good for you You're gonna enjoy it, just make sure DP1 progress doesn't come to a grinding halt

No WMA, no DRM for rockbox unfortunately. I'm dual booting mine right now though, so I have the best of both worlds

Quote from al heeley :

But have you used it successfully to transfer song files from the ipod to a new computer?

Never used an iPod period, well, I've played with friends' iPods, but never transfered anything. I wasn't suggesting Rockbox to take tracks off, either, but as an alternative to the normal firmware.

I'd recommend Rockbox for your iPod, I believe it works on the smaller one, I know it works on the bigger HDD models. Anyway, it's a neat, cross platform firmware for MP3 players. I have it on my Toshiba gigabeat, it allows me to play videos, which the originial firmware didn't, there's a bunch of other stuff it does too, including play the original Doom in all it's 3D glory

Anyway, check it out

Quote from tristancliffe :

You remembered specifics about my audio setup?!?!?! Feck!

Erm, I don't know. It depends how clever your motherboard/soundcard is I suppose. If you plug in your headphones/set, can you make windows sound still come out of the speakers, or does it all come out of the earpieces? If you have that control (i.e. the headphone socket has a different output to the normal speakers that you can choose) then you can, but maybe not if not...

Hehe, I have a good memory for stuff like that.

But anyway, all I can do is just make the same sound come out both my speakers and my headset, so I doubt I'll be able to do it. I don't see an option to choose what sound goes where. If I was going to do anything, I'd probably just get a USB headset. Thanks anyway, though.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I tend to use the main speakers for LFS, and the headset for TS sounds. That way it's more real, in so much that the microphone picks up the engine noise, making speaking difficult on long straights. So I have to do what F1 drivers do and wait for slow corners.

The downside is people can hear my wheel whirring, and know I've made a bit of a cock-up

I know you use a USB headset, is it possible to do that without one? I have 3 programmable audio jacks on my motherboard, and I can set two to be audio out, but I still doubt it'd work.
