Quote from Scawen :

So... it'll be a nice patch with some noticeable improvements and the new car, but not really representative of the amount of work that has been done since patch Z.

So are the physics incompatible with Z?

Don't really understand how you need the whole field of view to park a car, but then I do mostly suck at parking cars...

Quote from Crashgate3 :something that *really* irritates me with glasses - you have to turn your whole head, not just your eyes.

Now this is something I don't understand and I hear it quite a lot. I've had glasses for about 12 years now, since 3rd grade, but I don't seem to have that problem. I move my eyes and it doesn't hurt my head nor my vision gets dissorted from the lenses. I feel moving your eyes to the very edges feels sort of uncomfortable anyway, so loosing some field of view where the lens ends is not the end of the world for me. Although that just might be because I'm so used to that and without my glasses really can't see much, and I really mean that, reading without glasses is impossible further than 20 centimeters for me. Might be interesting to try some contacts some day, if they make any bat blind models.

Get your eyes sorted, you never know if you need glasses before you see it.

Quote from Crashgate3 :8.3%! You could run your car off that

Or is that the weird US system that's actually out of 200?

It says ABV on the site which mean alcohol by volume, which is the standard measurement, so no.

Quote from MAGGOT :The LED lights on the GT3 model clearly have no purpose. On ALMS cars they indicate the pit limited being on (which I think is needless, you're in the pits, of course the limiter is on. You shouldn't need flashing lights telling competitors this....) but on the GT3 they serve no purpose. They are full-on while it's on track. This is a needless power drain on the battery. While I, personally, think the LED lights look great, on the race car they're pointless and should be removed.

But considering it's promoting the road I can't see that happening, it's one of the key features of the original car and part of the looks. And power consumption can't be that much, and if it is, they could be just turned off.

Thanks for the tip! I loved Armadillo run and The Incredible machine. Downloading the demo, from the video it looks like quite much fun.

Quote from duke_toaster :
Blackout, those Finnish ones look nice, but probably bloody hard to get in the UK

I'd say impossible. But I did found an online store, which sells all sort of Finnish stuff for people living abroad. Here is their salmiac section. I'd say the prices are reasonable compared to prices here. That salmiac chocolate is some interesting stuff too.

How cool that you can order all this good stuff from home where ever you are.

Anyone know good online candy stores?

Show-off Christmas lights is one of the worst things ever. I hate the bright blue/red/green/whatever/non-normal-white lights people but up. Also, more interestingly it seems that lack of taste seems to correlate the date people put up these ugly lights. More uglier the lights more before Christmas you see them. Of course, some might argue they are seasonal winter lights, which I can understand. After all, it's a dark long winter here, but I still prefer normal natural colored lights over tacky bling ones which just remind me about consuming mad Christmas.

Yes, and environmental light decorations. If you are really in to that sort of thing, keep them reasonably small, use less consuming lights, and most importantly turn them off when they can't really be seen. You could also get a timer which turns them on only for few hour. And if you think they still consume extra power, you might compensate it by turning few lights off in your house, this also saves you some money. Or, use candles, which of course results your house burning down.

Man I should start some eco-ego consulting business.

Turkisk Peber and salmiakki are what I like. I'm more for hard candies, but it seems almost everything is soft these days.

I can see your point, but as you said it's due the original car. Race trimmed Lamborghini will look much better because it already has the shouty fast look at standard when this Audi, well, is German and a bit senile.

Quote from tristancliffe :Not awful, but a bit ricery.

Sorry, but how a racing car can be ricery? I thought the definition of rice is having looks without any performance or function. Yes, that rear spoiler is huge, but I'm guessing it's designed to actually work by people who know their stuff. Funny how bad car tuning makes real racing cars look bad in your eyes.

Seems that not waiting the PC release and buying Xbox wasn't such a bad idea after all. Too bad they have had to rush the release for Christmas, greedy bastards.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :It's ok to rip off big companies such as Bestheda and the like, but nooo, it's not for a crappy little game that probbably took 1/18th of the effort.

Oi! It's not a crappy game, it's awesome. Bought it immediately after I tested the demo a month or so ago. Can't really remember any game bringing such grin on my face in long time, last time must have been some LX6 racing, and that's a long time ago when LFS still made adrenaline rush trough my vanes (not saying LFS is dull, I'm just more used to pressure). It made me grin a wide smile because it surprised me on it's brilliance. It has a good original idea with colorful yet simple and well done graphics and it's plenty of fun. Oh and I just love the music too.

And yes, small companies are worth supporting because they every now and then produce something different from the main stream.

Quote from scania :F1 qualifly need to count the race fuel, so I don't think bouns for pole is not a good idea

Well qualifying with race fuel is silly anyway and should get rid off.

Kill it with fire! It's ugly and looks silly.

I can understand why the spoilers are made bigger at the front and smaller at the back, but a front spoiler wider than the wheels and very small rear spoiler lifted up make that car look like a toy.

Contrast between the 08 cars and 09 cars is huge. The cars this season did look nice. Apart from Honda and that seagull glued on the nose they were sleek and pleasing at least to my eyes. The cars next year will probably be the ugliest bunch of 4 wheelers seen on race tracks that are not designed by retarded apes with their bad hand.

I do like the simple body with not too much extra fins, but the wing proportions are just way off to look any good. If all the cars will look like that I really, really hope for the sake of F1 that the rule changes deliver the racing they promised.

Insane, seen the pictures but didn't know what it was about. I guess they only did that because the distance to finish was so short, still a bit mad though.

Quote from Bladerunner :er...without using a very good crystal ball, or a reliable pack of tarot cards, how can ANYBODY show an ACCURATE "history" of something that hasn't happened yet?


Yes..that was my point.

It's a game, not an accurate history based post-apocalypse survival simulator. Stop nit-picking and enjoy the game. Sure there is laser pistols mixed with assault rifles, but there is also flying and talking robots, living dead people, giant grabs and ugly green monsters if you haven't noticed yet.
