practice, practice more, and last but not least, practice..

drifting is more about feel and trying different things.. find your own style and run with it..

could possibly be from when ya wheels where locked up while going over the line, the speed taken for pit lane is the wheel speed not actual speed..

i got no idea tho..

Vic, for the multi install issue you are pondering, is it possible to have the installer write a install.log with all the file names and locations of each file, and only uninstall from the log file?

congrats to Rossi on his 9th world championship and 7th in the premier class

FP1 just finished for Phillip Island..

Rossi set the fastest time with a 1:31.03 followed by Stoner, possible seagul hit Kanepa on the left arm.. so his ride for the rest of the weekend is unsure..

Kallio is moving to the factory bike from the satalite bike for the next 3 rounds

Farrah Fawcett also died earlier today. On her deathbed her dying wish was that all the children of the world be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson.

ive been in a mates car while he was drivin, he tryed to scare me by turnin off his lights goin over a mountain.. didnt phase me at all.. :P

Quote from mutt107 :

if it won't run my games better, screw it.

tis why i switched to Win7

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.

He looked up and said weakly:

'I have something I must confess.'

'There's no need to, 'his wife replied.

'No,' he insisted,

'I want to die in peace.

I slept with your sister, your best friend,

her best friend, and your mother!'

'I know,' she replied,

'now just rest and let the poison work.'

hate watchin ppl high siding in any form of bike racing as they can be very nasty.. only seen one that made me laugh tho..

was in the 125cc races on Phillip Island before the MotoGP event, one of the riders high sided and landed on his bike almost standing after the bike hit the tarmac.. he just looked around to pretty much say WTF!!! then hit the green stuff and came off badly..

Kimi didnt look too happy when recieving his trophy

i seriously think they should replace Monaco to another track for F1.. tis been ages since there has been an overtake or pit.. tis such a boring race now.. (at the time of posting this) :P

well bara just pitted..

next question is who's tires are gonna last till the end of the race and who will need to pit again..

wonder if Massa will get a 3rd warning for cutting the corner

dual screen FTW

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I played carmageddon (with the splat pack ) for ages and ages when it first came out. I did the same with carma 2 and years later, Seduction of Destruction (SoD), a remake of carma2 using banger racing cars and tracks, but i never really got onto tdr2000.

I also loved quake, the original 1996 quake. I had many of the different patches to go with it as well, including killer quake, borg quake, FVF quake, GLquake (i bought a voodoo card and thought it was the best thing EVER!) plus many others i have forgotten.

I did briefly manage to find the CD with it all on not long ago but i cant get it to run on Xp as the OS it too 'new' apparently. Bloody shame.

try using nQuake (need the orig files for it to work)

many say that games of our past where always better than the current games of we play today. sure without Doom, Dune2 and many other games we wouldnt have CoD, Sup com and the other recent big hits gaming might be completely different.

personally i believe gaming is like how man kind evolved from the apes, it is a continuously growing medium and without the history gaming has, it wouldnt be at where it is now days.. Doom was a great game for its day, revolutionized everything about the FPS genre. but if it was released today against something like CoD4, on gameplay and replayability it wouldnt last against CoD4*.

sure many of the current games that are being released are not the best compaired to some of the games of yesteryear (looking at you Speedball2 compaired to Speedball2 Brutal Deluxe**).. due to many games early last decade where garage games where production costs where no where nearly as much as nowdays, the devs where able to do what they wanted and we had many great games, and publishers now days try and not take risks

ill never be able to play the same game 6 hours a day for a year straight no more due to being able to get bored of the same game quickly.. i have many great memories from the games as i was growing up, but i believe games from today have better gameplay overall due to the evolution of where gaming came from, and from here, i believe it can only get better.. sure we may get bored of the same things, but just think of how many hours of playin the same genre of game have you spent? its an addiction

is gaming of yesteryear better than the current games out on the market.. whats your thoughts about this?



* graphics has nothing to do with this comparision
** SB2 Brutal Deluxe was the orig released in the early 90's
(been playin games for 23 years now, since i was 3, so i got some experience in me :P

mario composer was awesome :P

pinging 900 servers takes a while.. used to take 15-20 seconds at most, without the command takes a 2-3 mins..

thats more than a few seconds difference

a few years ago i used to use a command that upped the amount of servers i could ping at once to get the server listings quicker.. can anyone rememeber the command to do this again?
