is this some kind of japanese sentence or just ununderstandable english one? because to me it doesnt make much sence

It's colloquial American English. Basically means 'no, I can't do that' but more informal.

I prestiged because I was getting stuck in a rut. I was pretty much exclusively using the TAR with Holographic sights, Scavenger Pro, Stopping Power Pro and Steady aim. So I prestiged and focussed my attention on the LMGs. Now I'm pretty much exclusively using the AUG HBAR with Grip and Silencer, with Stopping Power and Ninja Pro. And when I prestige again, I'll find another weapon and get obsessed with that!

Oh, I'm at the same rank as adamlfs because I didn't prestige for 2 weeks. I was a little concerned....

I have double the playtime of adamlfs yet a similar amount of kills and the same rank. Deaths are slightly different though



Haven't changed my callsign in a while; I really like the one I have now!

Oh btw, if any of you are interested in how you made my video, here's some screenshots of what I did in Vegas:

1 - Showing the 'Green screen' ground in LFS viewer; this allowed me to capture the shadows and moving sky.

2 - Showing the normal car, allowing me to capture the reflections acting on the car (the green screen version had green reflections on the car).

3 - The dragstrip with the car shape cut out.

I really like this 5 seconds idea. Like Squid said, maybe we can make this a regular thing with themes etc... But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Here's my entry

It's not at all close to perfect but it's the first time I've used masks and green screens in Vegas to a standard I'm reasonably happy with.

Working on something a little different (it's 5 seconds, my vids usually last 17 months, so it has to be different!) for this. It's an excersise in green-screening; we'll put it like that.

I'm doing my Ford Mondeo passenger experience next year. Gonna be ace!

I'll book those dates in my diary. Guys, start training now so we don't have yet more gigantic crashes.

Does anyone play this game on PC? My SteamID is mp3astra if you do. Trying to get to 2nd prestige at the moment.

Each time this has been brought up, a noobs spokesperson has politely said 'nooooooooo'. But maybe this time will be different?

It's a snowman!

Christmas cheer activated.

Fair enough. I did expect it to be a bit of a crash movie when I started making it because there was some good racing this year but the majority of the exciting and memorable stuff that has occurred in the races I've been in have been gigantic pile-ups and crazy flips. People don't like to pass cleanly in most races and league events.

Which is one of the reasons why I play iRacing...

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

The 2008 vid was more creative IMHO, but yea, good job. That vid entertained me, I must say(but I just cba to try to understand the last part, as my brain feels like a sponge atm :/)

The last part was a little sample of what I've been doing away from LFS. Just a recording I had to show I'm actually doing some 'work' at university.

Quote from hyntty :

What again? You just did a video like this a year ago naab.

If I still play LFS in a year, I'll be making a 'My 2010' video.

Quote from CSF :

Where's the mpr of you taking me out in the FOX that you said you were going to include?

I honestly don't remember that one. But I did include the XFG at SO5 replay where you screamed when I flipped over.

Now processed.

It's the end of my second full year of LFS. In February I will have been playing this game as an S2 user for 3 years. It's quite amazing what an impact a little game can have on one's life.

2009 has been a year in which I have significantly scaled back my involvement in the practicalities of LFS, what with having some larger fish to fry.

As a result, there weren't as many highlights as there were in 2008 but I still had a lot of fun.

This video isn't groundbreaking or filled with effects. It's just my favourite moments of the year set to music. Technically it has no merit. But 'its sentimental value is through-the-roof'! That's it. And a bonus feature at the end.

So, without further ado, take a look at 'My 2009'.

I won LFS Commentator of the year at the beginning of this year.

In real life, much changed.

I passed my driving test (2nd attempt).

I passed my A Levels; thus allowing me to go to university.

I've made several new, and good, friends as a result of the latter (I don't make friends easily; I'm so very picky).

Those are the major milestones for me, but I'm perfectly happy with how 2009 turned out!

As always, a brilliant, pure racing video. Almost inspirational!

Doesn't Apple's Photobooth have a thing where you take a picture of the background, so everything that was in the background becomes transparent. Then anything on the screen that changes isn't transparent. I think that's what's been done here, only with video.

Great idea and well done!

Even if I did that, it wouldn't be the same. It has to be done through sheer skill. And teh OP chopper gunner. But mostly skill.

I did get a 30 kill streak in a TDM but I had no nuke selected on that occasion.

My highlight so far in the game...

I got a 23 kill streak in a Free for All yesterday. I think that'll be the greatest achievement I'll ever manage in this game. I'll never get that sodding nuke!

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Nice races btw, the standards were stunning, everyone was being very clean(at least, at the back, we had np), so, keep it up guys

Was that a really really sarcastic comment or did you just get lucky and avoid the numerous incidents?

Another bump be ause Gil bumped the GTAL thread...


Race 2 starting in a few moments.
