The only Ice Hockey I watch is at the olympics. BECAUSE there isn't any fighting. [Generally]

Why do you feel necessary to specify that there's 20 players in a team? I mean, I guess it's only really the back up tender that doesn't get ice time, but everyone else does. So it's still a 20 man team. It sounds like you're suggesting that only the 5+1 guys on the ice at any one time are the sum of a teams parts?

Well surely as a seasoned player in hockey you'd know that it wasn't the case, as I said, I'm just a bit puzzled why you felt it necessary to mention that.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Matt, you're not out of the woods either. Some of your vernacular was absolutely non-hockey and instead was jacked from that sport of 22 gay guys diving all over a grassy field while kicking a ball.

As opposed to the 20 gays that decided to stop mid play to fight with handbags? Instead of do what they are paid to do?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Actually, the shots count expressly counts shots saved by goaltender (or goals). Not shots that miss, or hit the post. Hence them called "Shots on goal" and not "shots near goal".

Again, great hockey knowledge.

Didn't specify anything like that on the olympics imagary.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Considering you were trying to use the GAA as a way to measure a teams ability, and use it as why Latvia did better against Canada is about the most obvious "case in point" about how little you understand hockey.

GAA is only ever used as a stat to gauge a goalies abilities, never a full team.

If a team gets 60+ shots on your goalie, it means you are significantly worse at breaking the puck out of your zone than the other team is at holding the line and back checking.

Fact of the matter was Latvia managed only like 15 shots in the whole game. That's like 1 shot every 4 minutes. That's Latvia's offence being destroyed by Canada's defense.

So yes, you clearly do not understand hockey with the ways that you tried to gauge Latvia's performance.


Yea but its like any sport, the term 'shot' is such a nondescript thing.. I mean in hockey anyone violently striking the puck gets classified as having shot. Also 'shots' doesn't emphasize any plays that have actually led to a goal scoring opportunity and shot, rather than someone squeezing a puck between someones legs to miss by 2 meters.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :That said, I dunno why I'd expect anything less from BlueFlame and Matt. Having indepth conversations about things they obviously don't understand.

Yea because the sport of ice hockey and the dynamics of human potential are really something hard to understand...

Quote from PMD9409 :It's not really the curbs giving me silly bounces, but instead the random grip and grab I get from the inside curbs in low speed. Maybe it is my imagination, I don't know.

Which track specifically? Nurb?

Quote from Keling :It's more like button-out contact physics getting wild like the good old LFS rocket launcher physics.

Yea, I'm finding it hard to tell if its chassis contact with the kerb or just some crazy rebound but the cars definately keep bouncing for too long down the track after getting a bit of air.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :I laughed very hard reading about you guys talking about hockey, considering how lacking your knowledge is, along with your totally incorrect vernacular.

Made me laugh.

I apologize for being English and therefore superior. Except talking of hockey of course... you'd far surpass me as a Canadian :P

Quote from PMD9409 :Enjoy the T125 even though I'm not a single seater person. Driving it reminds me that I wouldn't mind the curbs getting a rework on some tracks.

I think its an issue with the springs and shocks rather than the kerbs. Seems like any car just launches into the air, with something with little travel like the single seaters you could live with it, but with the road cars you should be able to ride the sausages abit more I think.

Seems like under rapid compression the shocks just go rock solid.

I drove Nuerburgring more and more, its better than I first thought but it still just doesn't seem right for me. That left hander before the back straight still seems too tight...

Quote from kars19 :Tell me more... nobody didn't complain on this 'wrongness' in AC forums

Look at the GT5 and GT6 version, that's how i imagine it to be really, do you need your hands held here to hold a contrary opinion to the masses? Complete joke, that someone with a conflicting opinion gets routed with pitchforks like its the 16 century. Absolute ****ing joke.

Quote from Kristi :There is no DRS in that car.

Well there is an icon showing on the bottom of the screen for me with DRS on it.


Have to say though... the Nuerburgring GP circuit looks complete just.... wrong.

Quote from -NightFly- :Russia was gathering forces near border and I bet if there would be no pressure coming towards russia from the rest of the world, those troops would be have crossed the border by now. Russia is using every opprotunity that he can to show his military strenght, always has and always will.

And what will happen? Nukes start flying? A modern war [between two modern entities] will not retain itself to ground fighting.

Just seems like fear mongery, look what happened with Georgia not that long ago, supposedly Russia invaded them, but nobody did a damn thing about it.

Quote from ACCAkut :
The üphase your country is in now is probably more important and dangerous than the protests before, people here speak of a new cold war regarding Russia's involvement and opinion. Its not over yet.


Really, if anyone like the UN/US was going to get involved in this, it would have happened already before all of those Ukrainian citizens lost their lives. I suspect in Ukraine this will ricochet around for some time, but outside of UA I really doubt there will be any impact at all.

Quote from CSF :I'm sure if the BBC could afford its own F1 channel it wouldn't skimp the technical stuff. Though Sky sticks on plenty of fluff pieces too.

Well thats the point isn't it, F1 is a second rate sport for the BBC as it stands contractually, and circumstantially.

Quote from troy :That sucks, I always liked Garry's pieces and predictions before Q. I don't get why the beeb feels the need to dumb down the coverage for the average joe that may zap to F1 by accident.

Yea but that's what makes Sky F1 a better channel, because its dedicated to F1 entirely, meaning they don't skip out on tech stuff etc.

Quote from JackDaMaster :Heptane is used in comparison tests but not in the actual fuel that is being tested. I said that before and it says that in the article.

Yea and a comparison between knocking and no knocking is a knocking experiment isn't it?

That's like using two ballistics gel dummies one with kevlar and one without and then saying the reason for doing it isn't to test the kevlars performance...

Quote from JackDaMaster :You just need a knock sensor for that. No n-heptane needed.


Well I looked it up on wikipedia and the first thing that came up was that they're using it in anti-knock tests.

I don't know how true this is, i mean, lets face it. It's Wiki.
