Jeez trebor, watch the darn race instead of posting drivel every couple of minutes!

Anyway, that was a classic touring car race with a simply stunning drive from Plato from the back. Whether you like him or not, you can't deny his skill. He managed to make every pass without the use of contact.

Yes, Wilko was confused about why there was a panda combined with the WWF name. I was unimpressed.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I popped into this thread last night at about 23:15 and the top link to the live stream worked so i sat down and waited for the race, which started at midnight and i watched it all, so i actually must have stayed up until 2am so i didnt miss any of it, but i was in fact watching the stream replaying from some hours before.

I wondered why nobody was talking back to me in the chat. FAIL!

What race were you watching? Ours finished over an hour before you came along.

Looks like about 60% was done on the oval but (not 100% like a lot of people like to believe), nevertheless, it's still quite a sight to behold!

It certainly was a completely mad race. Never before have I been so confused in a race. Actually, that's not true. I'm always confused when commentating.

Quote from iMCk. :

BTCC is awesome but why only 14 or so cars?

There's been at least 22 for most of the season, but a few are sitting out this round so there's only 18. Still a good number compared to recent years.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

However there's a client/server variable (tf_overtime_nag) that allows you to revert to the "old" way as it was hilariously awesome.

It got old very quickly. But it did provide some real lols for a few minutes.

Indeed. That's what I was inferring but I pretty much screwed it up.

Quote from trebor901 :

Well with 5+ people sitting out Knockhill the end of this season could be very low on numbers.

I think some teams sit Knockhill out for budget reasons. Happens every year. All the haggis bribes and whatnot. They usually return after Knockhill to compete in the rest of the races.

My brother would actually be suited for this kind of job... He's autistic and struggles to do what games tell him to do (unless he feels like it). As a result he'll go around trying to jump into everything, trying to make AI characters glitch, trying to make stupid things happen etc. Because of the autism, he'll do it in an obsessive way without getting bored, which makes him very effective.

The best thing he ever discovered was in DRIV3R: He found that if you jumped up stairs at 45degrees, you would be hit by an invisible car. It's extremely frustrating to watch him but he would very much get the job done.

Quote from ldriver :

By the way it would cool if Scawen made patches with the Valve pace

Difference is, the patches for TF2 always need correcting, balancing and bug-fixing of bugs they created in the latest patch. Like yesterday's patch, for example: "OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME".

I like the new KOTH maps, they seem to be like Team Deathmatch but force the players to focus their attention on the central area. I'm not sure if it will sustain its popularity, but its certainly fun for now!

It isn't right now and I don't imagine that after 6 months Nolan really needs to put it on YT. Why do you want it on YT anyway?

Holy moly, that's a huge mag! I've read a few of the articles and interviews and I can say that I'd pay money for this stuff were it in paper-form.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Yes, but it's retarded. Would you beat a dead horse in hope that you can kill it more?

I thought not.

I'd slice it up so I could eat its odd-tasting meat. But that analogy doesn't apply here so...

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

To show that this discussion is a repeat: Here's a thread from RSC, dated 2004. http://forum.racesimcentral.co ... p;highlight=bump+drafting

There have been threads about tyres before, there have been threads about damage before, there have been threads about contact before. Just because it was discussed 5 years ago doesn't mean it can't be discussed again

Quote from CSF :

Does he like dinner?

Very important question. Phrase your answer carefully.

Great stuff! I think Chris will fit in perfectly. Maybe I'll finally get a chance to commentate alongside him at some point this year... He'll need someone to apologise for his inappropriate sayings during commentary. In the MMS he mentioned pornography, and in the TBO challenge he mentioned that he thought people using margarine should be killed instantly, I recall.

"the majority of the drivers now watching pornography..."

Some nice commentary there!

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Or...bring the PS3 with you? Every dorm has at least one PC, so hooking up a PS3 should be no problem

No, otherwise the rest of my family who aren't at university would be a little miffed that I had taken it!

Quote from Gerdoner :

You could have at least edited out "the made by gerdoner"

I wanted to make sure you got the credit for the bit that actually looked good

It's been a bumpy ride, and unfortunately we weren't able to finish the race. But I think we've learned a little about how to do a league like this; and I hope we can improve next season.

I just had a horrible realisation... I'm going to be at university when this game comes out, and the PS3 will be at home so I'll only get to play this game once every few months. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! I might just not go to uni, save everyone the hassle of me missing CoD.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Right....all I'm goign to say is watch out for Karma, it will come and kick your arse. Carson Daly told me so.

Funny you should mention that, Karma Motorsport was leading the GTAL for a while!

How's that list workin' out for ya's?
