Everyone would just pick the best options and we'd be back to square one... an even playing field.
These requests are like that Family Guy where Stewie is playing Pictionary or whatever, and the guy keeps screaming "Jackal?, Jackal?, Jackal?, it's a Jackal? Jackal?" If it wasn't right the first time why would it be right the next ten times?

Alright, I know you guys are going to hate me for keeping this going, but I was home sick yesterday and did a little conceptual analysis of the new video... if you don't care, then don't read it.

Opening Scene: Roll call of sorts. Notice she's in the throne. Razorblade sunglasses in the name of surrealism, slicing the viewers perspective and making us look at things like we never had before.
Sunlight shines in: makes sense, dawn of a new age, etc.
Bath Haus of GaGa: "Bauhaus" was an elite German fine-arts school, intent on training students in mixed media and symbolism. Clever reference. This is our first indication that this isn't your average pop video devoid of any intelligent thought.
So the bath haus is growing alien pop monsters in the basement. No eyes, representing blind faith consumers put in pop culture.
:46 - this is all subconcious desire emerging as she is moved from the basement to the first stage of the bath haus. The mirror and crown tell us it's her ego talking, dark light, dark clothing and "i want your ugly, i want your disease" tell us it's perhaps not the friendly side of her ego.
First scene on the 2nd floor of the bath haus. They've picked a baby monster, and she's in the bath now, innocent eyes, innocent colors, lots of white, perhaps being cleansed of sin in the bath. "I want your love" she sings, enforcing this stage of innocence pre-pop monster.
1:27 - Queue stage lights on dancers. The performance is nearing.
2nd bath scene: forced out of the tub. She struggles at first but succumbs eventually. "I want your love and I want your revenge..." She knows the industry can be two-sided. Fame has a price. She wants in anyway. Now we get some very intimate close-ups of her face pre-transformation, emphasizing purity.
Then she is drugged (vodka) in preparation for her transformation.
Second close-up she is crying, realization of loss of purity. Her eye movements (1:56) suggest coming to terms with whats about to happen. This is subtle but it's a great shot.
1:59 - The fame monster emerges. Enter Lady GaGa as we know her, androgynous make-up, outlandish costumes, completely over the top, she's being unveiled and paraded in front of people and forced to perform as the monster.
2:00 and 2:02 are important shots, we actually see the transformation in the tub from innocent girl to monster. she flails around, arms/fingers curl up...
2:07 - Some serious alien montage action reinforces the monster concept. "I want your horror" she now sings as men in black (evil record executives) circle around her .One guy has a golden mask, hiding behind it like those sleazebag execs often do.
2:38 - She picks that guy to dance for. this is her acknowledgment of her desire for the fame.
2:43 - The cat. The ****ing screaming skinless cat! I really don't know. I'd be willing to bet they just tossed it in there because it's a crazy hairless cat. Could be another symbol for the horror of the industry, or more likely for her gender being stripped away as she turns into the monster.
2:44 - now the execs are bidding on her. SOLD, queue chorus.
3:03 - showered in diamonds. this is self-explanatory. we get some dignity out of her eyes in this shot, although "caught in a bad romance" is timed perfectly to provide a counterpoint to the desire for wealth.
3:18 - now a possession of someone else, she blesses herself, knowing she is venturing into evil territory, perhaps "selling out" as she brings her art to the masses.
3:20 - more typical over the top stuff, surrounded in silver rings suggesting she is the center of the universe (or at least pop culture) next costume looks like a lizard or something, represents the monster she has become. "Fashion" she sings. Notice here we get another couple of shots of her innocent stage, her true self, indicating the fashion aspect of pop stardom is one of her natural desires.
3:45 - She heads into another room to obviously **** the guy that just bid on her. "I don't want to be friends" she sings. White switches to red at this point, flames creep in. next shots of the dancers they're all in red (end of innocence) they are also all lying on the floor representing her submission as a vehicle for this pop monster.
Once she fully submits to the requirements of being the monster, the whole place catches on fire. 4 #1 songs from a debut album. Fame monster wreaking havoc. Je veux t'amour et je veux ta revenche. I want your love and I want your revenge.
Last shot is the charred corpse of the record exec/icon of evil she has conquered.
The video isn't about a relationship with a person, it's about her conquering the music industry.

That's why I love the video.
In a post-post-modern artistic world where everything has already been done, and everything done has already been borrowed for something else, the only way to be original is to reeeaaally push the boundaries, which I think she is doing quite well. She's approaching pop culture the same way Andy Warhol did, with intelligence.... and she has half the f'ing world thinking she has a d***... now THAT is art.
How is lerts not listed in this poll?
Regarding the Skip, it is a design goal when the car itself is designed as a trainer. While massive lift-off oversteer isn't desirable in most applications, it is when you're learning to cope with lift-off oversteer. There's a reason the school designs its own formula trainers.
Yes and no. Mostly yes.
I'm not much a fan of pop music, but I am a fan of creative genius. I think she wants us to judge, and she uses that to convey the same message as you just posted. It's pretty evident she loves Bowie, and yet people are still reacting to her like Ziggy Stardust never happened! How many pages is this thread? Post-post-modern art at it's best.
Anchorman is one of my absolute favorites. If you grew up watching Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live, it's hard to deny his comedic genius. "Brick killed a guy."
Plus, it's a trainer. It's designed to teach one how to overcome specific handling issues/characteristics.
I enjoy it from time to time, but don't really know anything about it. I can however play the first 50 seconds of Fur Elise on piano, but don't play or have a piano...
Mostly I find myself tuning to classical radio in the car when I don't feel like any of the other stations. My problem is that when I hear something I like, by the time I've gotten home, I've forgotten "Chopin - Prelude for piano No. 15 in D flat major ('Raindrop') Op. 28-15, B. 107-10," so I can never find it again...

I got a quick taste earlier today. Dust/smoke/skids look good with no fps hit. Mazda feels better. Don't know about any of the oval stuff...
I like this thread. Levitating Red String for president!
Levitating Red String for president!For some reason I can usually keep it on the gray stuff at this combo.
Also, just getting on the brakes a little earlier (everywhere, but especially coming into the chicane at the top of the T1 hill) helped me find 1:17s. That and keep it at 120mph through T1. Wings 14f/13r for me.
Living in the dorms can be really, really fun. It helps you grow up, you meet new people, and it sounds like you're close enough to home that you'll still be able to see your girl & friends more often than not. My advice would be to stay in the "halls" for your first year, then move into a place of your own.
It was 11 years ago I moved into my college dorm room, and I now live on the other side of the country from where I went to school, but the guys in the 3 rooms surrounding mine are still my closest friends.

I mean, people's reactions are understandable... I've seen plenty of disagreeable demo requests over the years, but maybe if every member here just gives one person the benefit of the doubt the atmosphere around here might pick up.
In my experience it takes a lot of tweaking to get it to STOP bouncing around no matter what. There's something odd going on between the RF/LR and vice versa, in that once movement across the chassis starts, it's virtually unstoppable:

Granted, that video is at Sebring over one of the worst bumps ever, but it happens at other tracks as well. It's been brought up in the forums a million times but iRacing doesn't seem to want to touch the issue at all... or even acknowledge that there is an issue.
This is where someone who speaks EBRO's native language should jump in and politely inform him that his request isn't possible within the LFS format.
Instead he will be ridiculed and most likely decide against becoming part of this most-of-the-time excellent community...

iRacing is way ahead because the same link was posted over there in the forums and of course everyone went and voted right away. However, it seems you can only vote once per browser? I voted once from my office and once from my living room, but couldn't just keep clicking to add votes. GTR2 was actually ahead of LFS until the iRacing flood!
Both car and track or just track? I'm locked out until I renew in a few days...
Yeah, sober it's the White Album but under the influence it'd have to be Sgt. Peppers, flows well when the walls are breathing....
The White Album, nothing can even hold a candle to it... Maybe if you put Led Zep or Bowie's entire catalog up against it you'd get a fair comparison.
And for the record, one may not like the Beatles but you can't deny they changed the face of music forever. Everything changed after 1964, and as a musician you'd be hard pressed these days to write a song that didn't borrow from them in some form or another. Just one man's opinion, but as far as I'm concerned they are THE most influential rock group of all time, and will never be surpassed.

In order of appearance: mildly amusing, no, offensive, no, no.
