Dave must like it, aint seen him play anything else lol.

Well true.
But its one of them games i can pick up, not have effort to play, and play it for 1 - 2 max,
and as i am not normaly online as long as that most nights, it makes turning it off and ending a game easy.

The fact BFBC2 is hanging on in the last thread of bordem lol
and Black Cocks is just another game that takes more of an effort to put on.

NFS tho i do need to play it, but thats it. am stuck for games LOL

well lads i smashed my pad today, the red mist descended during the last test of the International A licence and rather than lobbing my pad into the sofa i elected the wall. i managed to piece it back together but ive ordered a new pad from shopto.net :yuush:

certainly is embarresing considering the shit i give KZ for smashing his pad but at least i did it because that portion of the game is broke and unfair rather than being plugged by some ten year old

FAAAAAAKIN LAG

Utter bollocks, but read it for yourself:

Things were about to turn a sideways turn for the worse. Imagine the above picture but with an icy road and Jack Frost covering all he surveyed. Even as I approached the corner I gently began to slow, I wasn’t a fool after all. However Jack Frost and Lady Luck had teamed up against me this morning. Without warning I felt the hard shudder beneath my right foot, immediately I knew I was in trouble. Any competent driver knows that a shuddering brake pedal means your ABS has failed and your tyres are now skidding. With the acute bend coming quickly at me, my gentle efforts to tickle the brake pedal into grip were of no use. With the bend upon me I had no option than to turn my steering wheel, I couldn’t go straight on. Upon doing this the whole frigging van slid sideways, my nose pointing directly at the left-hand hedge. With my heart shuddering faster than the useless brakes I knew I was in real trouble here, I was going at least 20mph.

And then, a bolt of inspiration shot through me, from my feet upwards, my mind was suddenly calm and clear. With the world going in slow motion released the brake pedal, I felt what little traction I had glide away. Still, as the nanoseconds passed I span the steering wheel to the right-hand lock. The next part is the real genius, I booted the accelerator as hard as I could. I still cannot believe what happened next, the spinning front wheels gained a quantum of traction on the icy road and began to pull me straight once again. By now my nose had slid around the corner and was now facing the correct direction, my forward momentum from the booted throttle enough to keep me true. Do not think for one second that I gracefully drifted around the corner. It was a complete dog’s dinner, I spent the next 50 metres swerving to get the van back under control. I also know I could’ve tried it again 100 times and it would NEVER work out as good as it did that one glorious time.

And here, my sexy bitches, is where the lesson is learnt: If I hadn’t poured 30+ hours into Gran Turismo 5 this week, I wouldn’t be typing this from my desk now. I imagine I would be tweeting the carnage from a hospital bed with a tube up my helmet. In that moment of sweet clarity I remember hurtling along the snowy Charmonix rally course in a Lancer Evolution, never braking while turning into corners. I remember applying anti-lock and giving it the beans! That is how I got my gold cup and this is how I got to work with an intact van and a twitching sphincter. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your time.

1. When you brake pedal kicks back your ABS IS WORKING.
2. NEVER EVER BRAKE on Ice if you can help it, always use engine breaking by selecting a low gear.
3. When you are already going around an icy bend, hitting the gas will almost never end in getting more traction, it will most likely just mean your tyres spin even more out of control, gentle accelleration on ice and snow is the key not a heavy right boot.

Never Drive with Traction Control on
Never have ABS turned on.

Driving is 100x more fun,

Yet to loose a race!

A couple of times i have completely lost control.
But corners am able to have anyone off.

I was racing the other night in a car that only done 140 Mph

While the other race cars where capable of doing around 180 - 200

Going over the bends i was able to gain like 10 seconds on them all, and on the straights they all caught up.
Never the less i was able to win the race
(That was on the Track that is masssssssive
You know the one with like 20 Miles of straight, and 2 bends in the straight.

Was a very challenging race!!

[YorkshirePud]

I had to turn the driving aids up to nearly maximum to control that Lambo, and im not bothered what anyone says i couldnt control the damn car and avoid the bastard ai at the same time, ive turned them all off again

Dave must like it, aint seen him play anything else lol.

But cos it's you Dave, I let them slide for enough time for someone else (including you) to pick up on them

To be fair though - they're the only two that've been bugging me a while. I can't think of anymore.






Yet lol

[InfiniteStates]

You need to try GRiD.
Now there's an excellent racer.

GRID 2 announced - w00t
Hope they don't fuck it up like the transition from Dirt 2 to Dirt 3...
