LX8 FTW!

Benny Hill or Charlie Chaplin?

Quote from G!NhO :

I still gotta play it some more

So you play Wolfenstein as well!

Congratulations, may he live for many years to come and that all his wishes will come true!

I believe I visited the server once. Nice chaps, I would warmly recommend the AKM servers to anyone.

The Rock Bottom

RAC or LX6?

Sorry about the misunderstanding Kev (I can call you that way, right?)

What you quoted was a reference to Medieval Total War 2 but I can be wrong there as well, I played it about a year ago.

Although I used to spent hours in campaign mod, multiplayer was the option if you really wanted a "total war". It was pretty much like a chess match, the only difference being a lot more pawns.

Hey there,

I believe that you are referring to the Insim applications. From what I know, you can't get the sumo application from anywhere because it was never released for public use and I have to idea of the existence of a destruction derby Insim .
Guess you'll just have to settle at visiting the respective servers

I was actually going to post that as an edit, but I have high doubts regarding the fact that the AI is that intelligent

Weird, I remember the AI trying to flank me, but I believe that the game was set on hard. In normal and easy mod, it's quite easy to win even when there's a ration of 3:1 as said above.

But the AI would really need a bit more I in the AI An example of this from Rome Total War: Expedition to Egypt, I take over Alexandria, the pharaoh doesn't like it so he bring a huge army in front of Alexandria's gates. I'm left only with 6 generals and their bodyguards and 2 cohorts. Cohorts stay in Alexandria, generals go outside and attack the pharaoh and his phalanx bodyguards who are positioned quite reasonable ,for me, in front of a huge army formed by phalanx units and carriages. Pharaoh dies so the entire army, which could have still won without even breaking a sweat, runs away and a big part of it gets killed while running.

I personally loved the series and played everyone since Shogun Total War ,with the exception of Medieval Total War 1. Can't wait for it since I love the idea of having sea battles and having more effective guns.

Although I remember another 16 century Total War-like game. Played the demo but unfortunately forgot it's name so I never had the chance to buy it

Well that's quite a nice improvement over the last video but you still need to work a bit on smoothing the camera inputs.

Ricer, funnier to laugh at.

Cat or dog?

Well I know that today's racing cars are extremely safe and the death percentage per year has dropped a lot although I will agree that you can still die . I understand that your average Joe won't afford an F1 team but for the price of a 401, a pair of Razor headphones, a Logitech G25, etc. added up might cost as much as competing for a year in a modest league which I believe would be more rewarding then a simulation could ever be.

That might be but judging from this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... yfbhw&feature=related) it looks that it would be a very realistic experience but since it should be more expensive then the 301, I would never be that mad to buy it....unfortunately

I think I might make it.

Kind of late but oh well

I myself had quite a lot of problem in the past with headphones, always braking down, starting to hear trough just one headphone, etc. but even so I personally can't wait for this to come out because I think that it must be high quality to justify the price.

The Razor Megalodon 7.1 Headphone Set is designed to deliver the kind of peak surround sound goodness that can only come from ‘unheard of processing power’. Naturally it’s not for the likes of you and me, you’ll need to be a rabid gamer to really appreciate the power and the glory. Oh and did we mention it uses the same sort of ‘military grade audio technology that was originally developed for fighter pilots who need precise positional audio warnings for incoming missiles…’? No? Sorry about that.

The price of one? It seems that it should cost $149.99

Edit: The part I was going to add but didn't got the chance since some are lighting fast

It's called a Force Dynamics 401, it's basically a hardcore car simulator and I have seen plenty of videos on youtube with LFS.

You can read more about it here: http://www.force-dynamics.com/401/

What's the 401? Well, the best way to answer that is to see it moving - check out the youtube video to the right, or take a look at the high quality version under 'media'. It looks a lot like the 301, but its capabilities are far in advance - because, for simulating a vehicle, its rotation is incredibly important. You probably know, intuitively, that when you're driving a car that's sliding all over, it's the rotation that tells you when things have gone wrong (if you play that video, this will be fairly obvious!). Research in this area generally says that physical sensations take the lead over your eyes by about a tenth of a second when you need to react to something like a car sliding - and without feeling this rotation axis you rely on your eyes (or, in the 301, the secondary sensation of lost lateral grip) to tell you what's happening.

...Unfortunately not for consumer use but you can get it's smaller brother, the 301, which still looks pretty interesting.

Did I mentioned it's price (301)? It costs about $15000

I'm sure that the simulator plus those headphones would make for a pretty nice experience but I still think that it's a bit exaggerated. I've never understood why some people would plan on spending that much on virtual immersion, why not just do the real thing?

Clarksson FTW!


Westfield or Caterham?

Well if I would go for the looks, I would say 1999....luckily I'm not so I choose the 2009 F1 since it's a bit closer to traditional single seaters (no TC and slicks)


Poor and optimistic or rich and pessimistic?

Weird al yankovich is my choice.

Being blind or deaf?

Quote from Velociround :

CMON! Angelina Jolie!
Even if your pack included a G25 with a real car as cockpit for playing it wouldn't be worthy.

Just wanted to see if anyone likes sims THAT much

Quote from Velociround :

Sound System 2.1 45 RMS or Sound System 5.1 30 RMS?

Well that's quite a tricky one. I'll go with the 2.1 45 RMS.

Test Drive Unlimited or Gran Turismo 4?

Definitely Brands Hatch.

Angelina Jolie or a sims pack (iRacing 1 year membership, rFactor license, LFS S2 license, netkar Pro license)?

Renault Laguna BTCC, probably faster, better looking and pretty much stronger in every specification.

A New PC or a new motorcycle?

What, nobody gets stuck this early, on surely?

I used to love that game! Unfortunately I forgot it's name so I never got the chance to play it again

Would you mind telling it's name if you know it?
