Quote from mrodgers :Sheesh, all you guys talking about snow. 5 cm, 2 cm, few cm..... I woke up today having to clean off about 2 inches (~100 cm) off the car this morning and that merely a dusting as well.

Call me when you guys actually have some snow....

Laugh of the day.

2 inches is about 5 cm.

And no snow where I live yet.

It's not F1 if everyone has the same engines, and how would a team like Ferrari be a Ferrari if it was running with an engine made by someone else? Scuderia Ferrari is the engine.

It's the same with Honda, Toyota or Renault. I doubt they would continue in the series if it gets trough. Of course, if they don't get the supplier deal.

Quote from thisnameistaken :I bought Far Cry 2 while I was in town today because some of you said it was good. If it's not good, I'm going to have you all executed.

I hated Crysis BTW.

Start preparing your execution squad, because the game is no good.

Can you spell over hyped? The first though I had with this, although what can you expect with this kind of major release. For starters, it's just irritating to drive around the dam place on errands with those crappy cars which are like trains. I mean the car accelerates to it's top speed almost instantly and the speed doesn't change what ever you do. It's the boring train! They've really tried to make it GTA:Africa, but fail because driving the cars is no fun. Then there is the shooting. Everything has to be killed twice it seems, because the guard post guys just reborn and every time you pass one you need to kill em all again. Then they just can't die, you empty 10-20 rounds in a guy and it just keep going, and if it fells down it might not be dead! Watch out because it might come back at you and shoot you at the back, it's kinda fun(nny) at times, but ehhh..could think less would do it. Explosion are good, almost the best thing about the game, it's impressive how the trees and plants move with the pressure wave. That is sad though, when the only thing the game can do is the graphics and explosions. Cool if you are on to something like that, if you are searching a good game, well, it's not what you are looking for then. I can't find the game any fun, it's a graphics demo like Crysis.

Oh and one more, I hate how they've mirrored the guns to make the reload animations cooler and faster. Don't go to the army kids, it will ruin your gaming experience.

Quote from BlueFlame :Yea? Copenhagen has one meaning, and that is the capital city of Denmark, since when was ham (even if danish) refered to as Copenhagen?

Well it says Copenhagen on the ham?

"Bring some of that copenhagen from the store will you dear, it's so delicious!" Yes I can imagine it being used in the American language.

Didn't know Scania was a word for something else than awesome trucks. Well, you learn something every day.

Sweden still sucks though...

Quote from StableX :Wicked have you tried the oval yet, just for the hell of it? If you haven't, get your SR up to where you can try the legend advanced

No oval yet. Might give a go today. Would really like to have an incident free race on road course first. I've really mastered making one bad mistake every race so far, or at least when I've been in good positions. Leading the first 7 laps and then spinning on the last corner of Lime rock when figuring out if it really can be taken flat out.

Got my subscription today. Finally have time to play it, 24/7 if I'd like at the moment.

Initial thoughts - it's good, very nice actually. Downside is the way the racing is controlled by the iRacing itself, you can't have your events and such. Got to figure out something to do for the 20-30 minutes you got to wait for a new race. Maybe a book or something.


I think I was racing with some of our forumers few moments ago. :P

Quote from Bladerunner :I would like to find out if that is legal...IF it was a "genuine mistake" then it surprises me that there must have been thousands of orders in the 12 hours+ that it was listed...You cant tell me they didn't KNOW about it.
Therefore the only conclusion is they did it on purpose as somebody said earlier...viral marketing. Is this legal???

(btw..just got my cancellation e-mail too!)

There is no way to prove it was not an accident.

They have a right to not to sell the product will the wrong price if it's unreasonable for the seller, meaning it's so mad it should be obvious for the buyer that the price is wrong. Like selling a gaming system with 90,0 when the actual price is 900.

But yeah, it might have been an error but they just didn't bother correcting it that fast when it was getting so much interest. Or there was just nobody at work at the hours it was getting orders. Or they are really sneaky bastards.

Forza 3 I hope, there has been rumours they are making/planning one anyway.

But... the car was on Forza 2 already, so I don't know why they'd need more reference photos for it. Has he took inside pictures?

Quote from SamH :Because if Bourdais finishes ahead of Massa, they can drop him down the field and get Massa some more points.

I think it's quite the opposite. You can't fiddle with the race results after the race if the incident didn't take place on the last 5 laps, or that what they said. So it's a matter of not giving points more points for Massa and getting accused for being too biased. If Bourdais will get penalty, it would be a 10 place drop on the grid in China (or the other way around, saving Massa's points if he is in the blame). He was getting out of the pits so technically he should have given room, but on the other hand it seemed Massa was just not looking where he was going.

Quote from Jertje :
No, he shouldn't have been penalised for his T1 attack, but what was he thinking in the first place? I thought his plan was to stay cool and pick up points for the championship instead of raging for victory like an idiot, just like last year?

Feel the same. I was once again stunned how big risks Heatonmol takes in his position. It was a silly dive and made Kimi go wide, but did not deserve a penalty. He could just have had the reputation of racing dirty and foolishly and being an ignorant cock, and not some kind of martyr of pro-Ferrari politics.

It's last year all over again, Hatemelon is leading the championship, but will lose it making silly moves.

I really hope Kubica wins the title. Massa proving finally how bad he is under any pressure once again.

Too complicated and fancy means failure.

Kraz 255 for the win.

Quote from BAMBO :Actually no Squidhead, go in a forest and the tank won't be able to move without destroying the turrent, and the driver wouldn't like to ripp off a 20 million dollars turrent now would he? But if you brought it up, I think an Abraham would do better then a T 90

Well...tanks usually weight around 50 tons so they will plow rather easily trough some forest. Just turn the turret facing rear and you have no problem with trees whatsoever. Problem with a tank is that they need constant refilling, so you'd run out of diesel rather quick without support vehicle.

So again, it depends on what kind of off-road vehicle we are looking for.

Quote from wark :
If you meant cars, then a WRC car...

Is not really a off-road vehicle is it? Yes, it's off-road like off-tarmac but not off-road.


Can't really say. From the list I've only driven the Unimog and some old Land Rover, but neither have I driven in proper off-road conditions like a Sisu SA-150 off-road truck. Gets the job done and most importantly is simple with no silly computers telling you what to do. :P

Why people don't make a copy of their LFS folder before they install new test patches. It doesn't cause any problems because it's only an exe file and some data. You can switch back and forth between several versions, only use one unlock and don't look like a fool when you don't have to ask new unlocks.

Quote from danowat :IMO test patches should never be used in leagues, only full releases.

Don't worry. As said already they won't be used. The latest public release at the time will be the version used.

Quote from Linsen :Lol, seems I'm not the only one who did some grinding tonight. Had a race (which didn't go too well and had me ending up with 3 incidents two of which were my fault) a qualifying and a couple of TTs. SR is up to 3.44, so I'm done for tonight.

Ok that confirms it. It's like WoW and people are addicted to the stats and collecting shiny stuff.

Or is just so awesome to drive? I'm very tempted, very tempted to try it when so many people from LFS are getting on it. But given my current situation with doing army service I would only have few hours play time per weekend and that wouldn't be much for the money you'd pay.

Well, I guess I have to rot and wait.
