I came to Half Life late, when HL2 came out. Loved HL2 and episodes but just couldn't go back to 1 after playing 2, felt like a massive step backwards. This mod has been vapour ware for years, I'm so glad it's finally out.
Can't even be arsed downloading the demo. Last years game was OK for when I just wanted to sit back with a controller and run a few races, but that was about it. From the reviews of this demo, this years game is barely worth a torrent.
Origin just told me I need to download 3GB of shit to repair my BF3 installation, even though it worked perfectly the other day. Anyone had this? Bit of a pain in the arse.
Honestly, not being over dramatic, but this is maybe the 10th time that the iracing service has completely collapsed in the last few weeks. Can anyone beat their terrible uptime record?
Seriously? that sucks, it's completely down for me and a lot of other people who have been posting on their facebook and twitter. Happily I signed up for a race right before the site went down, which now some people will be able to race, and some won't. Brilliant.
Anyone know what's going on? membersite is down, forums are down, even iracing.com is down. It's not just me, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/iracing.com. My shitty website from 10 years ago running on a pentium 2 in my own house has more uptime than iracing.
The Carb Cup still runs, which is the Nascar COT car on Charlotte, Daytona and Talladega. They are always busy.
It should be easy enough to get a race UK time in quite a lot of series. The Star Mazda is still very popular, the fixed HPD/Ford GT/C6R series is still very busy, and you can always get a race in the Indycar, either road or oval. The Aussie V8's got the NTM not long ago, and there is a European race organised, I think it's Sunday nights but you would have to check the forums.
Anyone who is full on creationist, earth is 6000 years old and dinosaur fossils are a test of your faith style should never be allowed any power. All religions are bad TFalke, but Mormons are at the top of the crazy scale. Extremist Christians are 100x more mental than the extremist Muslims that Mike seems to be terrified of.
Has Romney released his tax returns yet? I really do wonder what they show that he doesn't want anyone to see, massive avoidance of tax?
Definitely getting the PC version, no reason to avoid, it's cheaper, has better graphics and has exactly the same gameplay as the consoles, unlike a few years ago. Should be able to get it for £20 - £25, **** paying 40 quid.
Excuse me while I hang myself, I can't believe you called me a Zombie Orc! What the **** kind of insult is that? A zombie I can understand, but an orc? You ****ing geek, get some real insults, you call yourself Scottish and you can't even think up a better insult than that?
With your front wheels up in the air, will do absolutely **** all. You're trying to be smart and making yourself look like a cock, the back wheels will do nothing to slow down a car with the front up in the air.
Also, I'm sure you have a full telemetry trace that shows his pedal inputs. You don't know whether he was braking or not, you're just ****ing braindead.
Blame Hamilton for everything, it had to be his fault for not magically stopping a car in mid-air!
His car was completely off the ground riding along on Crashjeans cars, what the hell was he meant to do? When an incident is 100% clearly not Hamiltons fault, idiots still find a way to put the blame on him for it.
It's all about reasonable force. If there's a burglar in your house, pulling a knife or a gun on him will 99% of the time make him shit himself and run away, so if you do actually stab/shoot you are using well beyond reasonable force.
Ron Paul is just as much of a tool as the rest of them and some of his ideas are ****ing mental, where are you getting this idea that he's the messiah?
It should be as simple as that but not anymore, too many refs giving free-kicks even when he clearly got the ball, just because he caught the player after.
Just realised you said balls and were talking about something else .
I think of GTA4 as them exploring this generation of hardware, in the same way GTA3 did. 3 kept it simple, then VC and SA went crazy. I suspect the same is happening here. They also have lots and lots of experience now working with the rage engine with RDR and Max Payne, so it should run far better than 4 did. Max payne runs great on the PC for example.
To be honest, it just sounds like GTA isn't for you. I loved every GTA, from 3 to IV and everything in between. The freedom, scale, the details, the NPC interactions, the story, going on a rampage in a tank, flying a jet about. If it lives up to it's reputation this will be the ultimate GTA, bringing back all the eccentric and fun elements of VC/SA with the graphics and brilliant physics engine from 4. I honestly can't wait for this game. I agree that VC (maybe SA) was the peak, GTA4 had a lot of potential that it didn't live up to, but this will hopefully. Anyway, for me the story was a side show in IV, the real fun was getting a group of 5 - 10 mates and causing havoc online, doing every mad thing that we could think of. That's where the fun was. Thinking about it, anyone here who has IV on the PC and up for playing some MP? I haven't done it in too long.
About the cars being the same, it has been that way in GTA since 3, and it's the limitations of the platforms they're working on. It's much easier to inject a few cars which are already in use, rather than 20 random ones. Sure, they could scale back all the car models, make them all look worse so you can have a bit (more) of variation, but I have never found that constricting, at all. I really don't think the screenshots are what sell GTA games either, screenshots (even those beautiful ones up there) do not do GTA justice in the slightest.
I was under the impression that Obama is being strangled by the republican congress/senate (one of the 2) which means he can do pretty much **** all. Am I well off the mark?
