I'd be aiming about the same, I was also thinking of Architecture, but that's like 580 points or something...If I get it, great, but I probably won't
Haha my thoughts exactly, TY was such a waste of time considering I could've been out of this hell hole by now, and enjoying uni life
UL hopefully yea, either Software Engineering or Computer Engineering, not entirely sure what the difference even is
Points should be OK, they're looking for around 430 which I can easily get if I actually do a bit of work this year 
We've done so for the last 5-ish years 
I think it's still imperial up north though. I much prefer metric, it makes you think you're going faster or something

Given that I have a car and a bike roughly as old as myself that have probably had the nuts driven off them at some stage (I know the bike has anyway ), and both have never needed any sort of gearbox work other than new clutches, I'd say it has minimal effect. I do tend to rev match when downshifting, but not double clutch...
Actually, I've taken to clutchless shifting recently. I've found at about 5k in every gear bar first, I can shift up clutchless with zero resistance, which I've been told means everything is syncro'd at that speed. I haven't noticed any strange noises or feel when driving, and I've also been told it lessens the wear on the syncros, as long as you have the revs matched. How accurate that is, I don't know

Best of luck, that's 26 miles further than I could run

I agree, I was a good 10% faster when I used keyboard/mouse, but now that I have a G25, I have 100% more fun, which is what the game is all about
I've grown up a bit now, and tend to short shift rather than redline every gear. It's far easier to stay on the bike cruising in 6th rather than flat out in 3rd when going through forestry I find .
I tend to save my excessive speed for my car now Was doing 160kmh before the shot, but by the time the camera turned on the wind had me down to 150kmh...Not bad for an ickle 1.0L I must make a video of the redline, it sounds so cute
(Say what you like about my speed, I don't care. This was done on an old bypassed B-road, with an 80kmh limit, where 120kmh is the standard speed of anyone driving on it. There's no houses, I was on my own in the car and it's wide open, so if it went tits up I was the only one who'd get hurt :shrug

Look at the orange box, available for PC, PS3 and 360. I've played it all on PC, but only a few levels in Portal on the 360 (turns out Portal on a controller is not so good), yet it's still pretty much a game far more complex than LFS ported to consoles. It's not like it's impossible for this to happen with LFS. All it takes is someone who knows what they're doing (not me then) to decompile LFS, and port it for PS3 use.
Hardware certainly isn't a limitation if a game like HL2 (which looks amazing in both console and PC form) can run on consoles. I used to play LFS on an old Dell with 256MB RAM, a 9800 PRO (yes, the old AGP ATi, a far cry from the PS3's RSX) and a 2.2Ghz P4, comfortably at 60FPS with full AA/AF at 720p resolutions, before I built my new PC. That rig comfortably ran LFS, and the PS3 demolishes that in terms of hardware. Don't say hardware is a limitation, it's just down to the people who know how to ge the power out of the PS3

Hey, that's why erasers have pencils on the bottom
Yes, it's not so brilliant to hit a false neutral when kicking up from the redline (seeing as these things have no rev limiters, they literally keep going until they seize or until the carb can't suck any more air in) in 6th aiming for 7th, and hearing the 2-stroke NING NING NING NING at about 20k, makes you fly over the handlebars usually, not so brilliant at all
Happens a bit too often on a gearbox older than myself You know the cell chip houses 8 processors plus a seperate PPE, right? Its 3.2Ghz PPE just manages the whole cell. Fair enough, one core is reserved for the OS, and another is disabled by the factory. That still leaves 6 processors to do whatever you like with, and as far as I know all threading is done automagically by the PPE in its "managing". Basically meaning a single-threaded game like LFS could theoretically run across all 6 cores without even needing to be rewritten for a multi-core CPU, if I understand it right (Scawen said before that rewriting LFS to run across multiple cores could take as long as a year). I'm not sure at all on this, but LFS may have to be rewritten for PPC though. I've never worked with PPC, so I'm not sure
Seeing as you're neither a PS3 developer or an LFS developer, could you please explain where you have the inside knowledge that "a PS3 isn't powerful enough to run LFS", given that LFS runs happily on PCs with a quarter of the processing power the PS3 has? The "only" thing that may let the PS3 down is its GPU, it's still based on a 7800GTX. This GPU is still more than sufficient for LFS though, and even for outputting full PS3 games in 1080p glory. Just look at Killzone 2 or Uncharted
Sorry if it looks like I'm having a go at you, I'm really not. Just hate people putting down the PS3 for no particularly founded reason, especially when they have no experience of developing on the hardware
Another quality post from The Stig
No, you need to shift up when you're stopped. Shifting down in first does nothing in the MRT
Actually, there's a neutral between every gear, really. I can kick into a false neutral between every gear on my bike, but the one between first and second is the easiest to find I presume that's either a 125cc or 250cc. Mine's a 1.3l. Meaning I have over a litre extra capacity, either way Sheesh, was tongue in cheek, y so srs?
Sheesh, was tongue in cheek, y so srs?Oi. My car weighs about the same as his kart. And has a whole litre extra worth of engine
Ninja edits. You saw nothing :chair:
Fine. Replace it with these two to make up for it
At least an A-series can get out of the factory without bursting in flames

Mightn't be a V12 Lambo engine, but it's a beautiful piece of old fashioned engineering

Ooh, heard good things about Afrika, I'm on the prowl for a cheap-ish copy
(I'll get my coat...)I fscking hate games that include underwater sections (traumatic experience underwater growing up, I've been told...) though, so I'll be giving Aquanut a miss
See my Tomb Raider thread for an example, the level designers thought it would be smart to base the entire first level in the middle of the ocean...Took me 3 hours to dive off the freakin boat They say a picture tells a 1000 words. Then this video should contain about 7100000 words
