Damn, meant to write "not cute or fluffy", but epicly failed. The irony. :doh:

Not or fluffy = epic fail.

Well, Brottun has a point. Hmarlinton did blew his chances to win the title this year himself. If they have the guts to team him up with another fast guy, who isn't paranoid, he is also for a trouble, not to mention if McFerrari fails making a car. He might have some difficult year, or two sometime, but I doubt he will retire without at least one title...like Baton.

But I'm talking about the Ice making machine simulation now, you can't have studs or you ruin the ice. It would probably be the most simplest thing to model you first.

Quote from JTbo :

You might like to check out winter rallycross videos for starters

Yes, well I was thinking mirror finish type of ice without studded tires. :P

Basic ice could be the easiest to start with. But I doubt skating ring driving simulation would be that much of a hit.

Of course...if you modeled the ice making machine (what was the fancy name for it), it could be a hit among hockey fans.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Meh. I like mine better. A touch more realistic too.

Quote from Shotglass :

release that already or i shall send kev over to your place to bore it out of you (ive been told he talks as slow as he drives)

And after that, we send in the pirates! Arrrr! pirate:

Here is a short movie I made from some LX4 racing replays, inspired by the song heard.

Quote from alland44 :

Denmark is not figuring at the top 100 list We only know about weapons in the criminal environment.

Because you have no wild life to kill, most of our weapons are for hunting.

Quote :

Conclusion is. If we had no guns available, no hardcore videogames and no acces to sick litterature, then the world would be a safer place to live in - FOR SURE !!

That is so naive. All history books would probably be on the banned lists too, and the Bible too! They all have blood and guts spilled around, human history is violent. People have been killing each other way before there was literature or moving pictures to take influence from. You simply can not ban history books, or any book, because majority of sane people read them to learn from the mistakes people before have made. That's why you have history lessons in schools!

And who would choose what book is accepted which one is banned? If you give someone that power, it will be used for personal gain and we would go back to middle ages. Next thing would be censor the internet, say a bad word and you are cut off. Freedom of expression is what the civilized world should stand for, it's for the individual to choose who he thinks is wrong who right, and what he thinks is good. That idiot journalist can say what ever he wants, but I think he is writing utter shite. Protecting people with censorship is over reaction, and against everything I believe.

Perhaps Mr.Boyes has not been too successful picking Finnish girl in a bar

Is anyone?

Quote from deggis :

And yet he continues his weird agenda:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/t ... europe/article2836362.ece

He has points but what do they have to do with this single event, is unknown.

Maybe bad experiences from a business trip?

Oh what a load of crap again. He got some problems correct, but I really doubt they have anything to do with this one madman. Besides, those problems are very common trough the western world anyway. And what is wrong blaming the shooter for all this? I mean, he was the one who did it. I do understand why you can search the reasons from the society, but only in to a point, and he dwells beyond the point I feel reasonable.

But above all I hate how he spreads all these prejudices about the Finns in every second sentence. Sure, we don't talk much as other Europeans, well, because over here empty talk is considered for the empty headed. Sure it's changing, the young people know the small talk and it's getting more common. But I do not understand how that idiot can't understand the concept of cultural differences. This is not like your country, get over with it you freaking idiot and pay some respect.

Thought you went on brake again. What are you doing here, go already.

I still can not understand the people who say they don't like LFS and feel it's not for them, but still hang around moaning about it. If you do not honestly care, go away, being a silly troll is waste of time.

The writer answers to the comments:

What is this guy trying to be, somekind of giant brain who knows it all. He obviously didn't understand why people were pissed off with his previous analysis. It was not because he was trying to provoke a discussion, but because comparison to ancient mythology was stupid and the hard "facts" were pulled out of his arse or 18th century travel catalog. Sure the Kalevala is a nice epic, but I feel that foreneirs who haven't read it in Finnish can't understand the mythology and what it means...and that it is not the modern Finland. The discussion about what happened is on, we don't need some half tool who can't understand what he is writing about.

Quote from deggis :

WTF rating is pretty close to 100% in this:

WTF indeed.

The old GT-R is definitely the best looking car, really like it.

Oh crap, I'm developing JTbo syndrome for old cars. My life is over. =(

Oh sorry, I always get the three mixed!

omg omg omg my life is complete lol omg

Quote from Hyperactive :

I'll be using these names from now on (because you can't write):
Haemitlon
Gulphard
Wepper
Buttocks

Yes, that was my plan too, we will forget the proper spelling of all drivers with English surname before world learns how to spell. If this will not happen, we will free the people of Norway from the tyranny of oil and cod.

It is spelled Kovalainen, not Kovalinen, Kavionlainen, Kanvioli, Kolanvilinen, Kovnnllinen. Kovalainen that is.

Shadow would do, boxes are too much and boxy and ugly..and boxy.

Quote from JTbo :

I have already got few powerslides with my Volvo in snow, I pity those FWD drivers, they miss all the fun

Awwww...drove in the snow the first time this winter today, and oh was my dad's silly lard ass Toyota pushing around corners. I wished I had a RWD, but no. :P

Yay! Welcome.

Done.

Quote from deggis :

I thought Times was a respected newspaper but this was really funny shit:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/article2828084.ece

That must be the worst piece of bullshit I've ever read, only missing the polar bears as said in the comments.

Quote from Crommi :

Only hunting rifles and shotguns are sold to civilians because hunting is very popular in here, getting a legal handgun on the otherhand is pretty much impossible. I know many people who own guns but only one has a pistol aswell, he bought it in the 80's for executing sick animals on his farm.

But I suppose if you got right connections in bit city, you can get anything you want for right amount of cash.

No, it's rather easy to get a handgun as a "sport" weapon. I worked with few guys during the summer who owned several rifles and few handguns, all were made to competitive shooting, it's a sport you know. The gun used in the shooting yesterday was that kind of sport gun, .22 caliber handgun, and it does really show that it's easy to get one because he had one.

Of course, it's far more difficult than in the US where you just walk in to a store and point what you want.

Someone just happened to be Sherlock enough and found his Battlefield 2 game stats (saying that he had been online just few hours before the act) from the net and now that's already all over the news and you can read between the lines that "the shooter was a video game nerd".

Oh noes. I can imagine the disgusting headlines in papers.
