Maybe we should create a separate thread for this, to drum up a bit more publicity if anything.

Oh okay then, I'm in.

To my future teammate: I've already done my runs, don't do yours until I've given you my set!

I got that too, whilst uploading attatchments.

On a scale of 12 to 63, this Toxic Mahjong Orchestra was somewhat like a Mechanized Bubble Colosseum, in that it hasn't read 'Making LFS Movies #2'. But it could have been worse.

Quote from Wilko868 :

OT: Loving the avatar

Same to you! So sexy...I'd hit it

Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thieves)

A neorealism film, set in troubled post war Italy. It's not going to be happy, is it? Just incredible though, so beautiful and so powerful. The ending made me cry...goddamn...

Seen a lot of good films recently, mostly through LOVEFiLM, which I thoroughly recommend. Can't be bothered to find the list, but it included the rather wonderful The Third Man, and the pretty good The Damned United.

Just finished downloading Sátántangó. The reviews speak for themselves. I'll get back to you on it when I've got a spare 8 hours to watch it.

EDIT: Almost forgot Un Chien Andalou. A groundbreaking film, surrealist and incredibly shocking when it first came out (1929). Nowadays the shock value is tiny, apart from that eye scene! But seriously, watch it.

I was just about to say that, when I realised mine was wrong too :doh:

I never knew Gandhi watched F1

Quali lasted 2h 45min

Martin Brundle Facebook status update:

"Martin Brundle and Jonathan Legard have got their snorkels and flippers on. Ted Kravitz has donned his Peter Stringfellow-style thong and is wandering the pits looking for someone to lotion him up."

Okay, not the Martin Brundle

Quote from J@tko :

WTF is with the shitty pit exit? Why don't you just make a normal bloody pit exit instead of some underground maze??

Everyone loves a gimmick.

Well, apart from the people who don't, the people who think it is desperately trying to add something to an abysmal track but actually contributes nothing. Something to keep the masses happy until they actually see how crap the racing is!

Meh, update to 6:42.60

If I had a proper set maybe I could do better...or mabye not!

I'd love an invite too, maybe it's a long shot but if anyone's feeling kind...

Hapy Birthday!

A great event and a fun layout. My time will get smashed when the aliens show up, but I don't care, I enjoyed this a lot. It might improve in a bit, had to stop to ask the way a few times

6:45.40, no penalties:

Sorry, but we need some pictures! Very, very few people will bother trying it without knowing what its like. Nothing fancy, just give us an idea of the layout.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's not miserable at all, because I have enough fun in my life being MYSELF, that I don't need to dress-up.

How about I flip that and say halloween is a time to meet up with mates and show a fun and creative side to your personality? How about I say dressing up removes any preconceptions people may have through appearence, and therefore you are even more 'yourself' as your personality is not affected by worries you may have about how you look.

You are playing a computer game, and arguing on the internet. Some people would say that is something you should 'grow up from'. But LFS is fun! Halloween is a medium through which you can have a lot of fun, does it matter that much that you dress up in spooky costumes? What's so wrong and childish about enjoying yourself?

I try to steer clear of arguments, but you just did something to me. Why start this flame war, why do you want to stop people's harmless fun? As soon as someone got annoyed at you, you unnecessarily generalised and insulted everyone from his country. Go away, you're entitled to your opinion but let us enjoy halloween, we're not doing you any harm.

I would say stay away from multiplayer, but I did somehow win a league race after a few glasses of wine.

Intoxicated servers would be great - an interesting experiment anyway.

I think I-SCAR has been using an intoxicated server

You beat me to it! Just been going through my Alan Partridge DVD's again, brilliant stuff. I would go as this if anyone knew who he was, unfortunately I might just get a few funny looks...dunno why

As usual, didn't have any idea what to do last year. So I rummaged around in a few cupboards. "Let's see what I've got...black jeans/hoodie - check. Victorian cape whatsit - check. Skull mask - check. Uhh, how about a top hat? Ooh, and I've got a pink wig too."



Now, who'se going to start a flame war about american traditions? Have fun all.

Hell yeah, love autograss. There's a track 30 mins away from me (Yorkshire Dales - Masham) and I go whenever I can. Brilliant stuff, good racing, some insane cars and incredibly dangerous! A kinda throwback to past motorsport, with everyone so close to the track...one time I watched someone roll his class 9 eight and a half times into the only place there weren't spectators. Almost a horrific tradgedy right there.

If someone sets up a server, I'd love to give it a go.

This GP was very boring, yeah, extremely so, but compared to other races this season it was alright. The track certainly made it more interesting, as did the title battle. The last few laps were great, at least compared to most F1 races recently. People are just annoyed because they woke up at 5 to watch it You can't expect an exciting race in F1, and it wasn't, but I woke up at 5 anyway and am glad I did. Don't moan, seriously.

YES YES YES Turkington!

A very much deserving champion, a great driver. Understandibly emotional

Amazing Ducky, seriously. I know you've been doing amazingly in the Commodore Cup, good luck with moving up the ranks.

Can I have an autograph? But seriously, you are damn fast, I reckon you've got the potential to do very well.

I knew Scott Andrews before he was famous

Quote from Flame CZE :

That doesn't happen to me with both vsync on and off.

Same here.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Seriously, does Plato know any other way to pass other than shoving them out of the way? fs

No. Simple as. It's why the ****er has only won one championship, he's constantly up the top because of his dirty driving, but has no skill whatsoever. Well okay, he's fast, but he can't pass (or not hit everyone) for toffee. I simply cannot see how he gets away with these things, whereas others can't. (See Adam at the first round. Plato brakes early, Adam pretty much has nowhere to go and makes a mistake. Plato gets rammed, and loses a place. This round, one corner on Chilton brakes early and Plato purposefully 'twats him up the arse'. He loses a multitude of places as a result. Would Adam have got away with it if he'd done it on purpose? Or is is because he's not Plato?)

And Tim Harvey, I do like you but stop constantly defending Plato you little shit! That applies to other commentators as well, plus Autosport.

Having said that, Plato has been better this year. Also I don't know if there will be a penalty for Plato yet, but I doubt it tbh.

EDIT: Ha ha! Perfect, I've been supporting Harvey all year and was really glad that he was on top, then started not liking him this round and he loses the title! Well done Bridgeman.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

yep, just back from the local, got a couple of bottles in the fridge, the call to the local curry house has gone in and an unimaginable mess of delicious yet potential damaging amount of curry,chips and assorted meat are currently being cooked in, what one can only hope for, is a decent and hygienically clean kitchen.

That should all arrive just in time for MOTD to kick off, as a sit down in front of my roaring coal fire with Hansen, Linker and Shearer, I will munch through what could be potential food poisoning, all the while enjoying the footballing delights. After that I have the football league to wallow in the finest that the lower leagues can offer...including my beloved Newcastle United.

That takes me up to some time after midnight, where I have a couple of options. There could be some bizarre yet strange cult movie on sky movies somewhere, or I could look at my even stranger DVD collection. That should take me up to the race.

Then after the race, you would expect sleep.....but not me, oh no. Head of to Inverness at around 9am and find a pub that is open after 11am (thank you law change) and settle in for some friendly banter with ICT fans while occasionally looking at the Old Firm game on the box. Then onwards to the dump (after a bite to eat from the local McDonald's.....maybe 2 big macs ), to watch my team, my hero's Ross County take on the evil ICT. Finally ending back home roughly at 9pm in need to iron a shirt and trouser half cut.

It's going to be a long 24 hours I fear...bring it on.

Awesome, awesome. A true man, supporting Newcastle was the icing on the cake. I'm a pussy and am simply waking up for the race...I feel inadequate. Weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. Grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. I'm foul and disgusting. I'm a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on me. Even sheep won't have sex with me. I'm unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. Compared to you, anyway.
