Quote from Bob Smith :

Forbin - it's not that they're particularly uncomfortable, but my ear lobes begin to ache after a couple of hours use. Also the foam material is quite hard and rough (by headphone standards anyway), although this has improved with use. My previous Beyerdynamic headphones were much better in this respect, they really pampered your ears and you could wear them all day without side effects.

Well I will have to disagree with you on that Bob. Having bought the Beyerdynamic headphones of you I can say after a few hours of wearidge my ears ache. Although having tried on your Grado's I must say the Beyer's are still a lot more comfy. I guess it depends on how your ears are shaped but certainly I suffer pain after about 4 hours..... top part of my ears ache's like f***

Can't fault them on sound quality or the price £20 was certainly worth it.

Cool, thanks! I owe you one
This is the best themed avatar month in ages btw.

Quote from Blackout :

It was playable series before they ruined it after Porsche which still is the best NFS ever.

That's the only version of the game that I have never played, apart from the latest one. A lot of people said it was the best of the series. It's such a shame the brand is being ruined.... hopefully someday they will return back to their grass roots and make something similar to where the game started out...

just please get rid of this drifting and yo look at my ride business.... also the physics could do with a revamp

Quote from deggis :

incredible what you can find from youtube:

Hehe.. that's brill!!! Brings back a few memories..... NFS1 it its day was so playable and fun, I recently tried to get it running on win xp but only managed it without sound

I think the series is being ruined now by all that drifting and customiZing worthless and ugly cars..!

great find though!

Quote from Blackout :

Outsourcing, outsourcing my friend.


On more serious note, I can't find a forecast which would promise sunny weather for tomorrow. High as 90% probability for rain!

Yeah, Monaco seriously needs rain to get rid of that feeling "why on earth did I just waste 2h of my life watching cars following each other without being able to overtake" If it rains tomorrow I for sure will be glued to teh television.... otherwise I'd rather do something more exciting...

Quote from Leifde :

That game is seriously addictive. I played for about 3 hours earlier without meaning to

Yeah it is, I was playing Grand Prix World with the season 2006 update yesterday. The Grand Prix Manager 2 annoyed me as windows had to run in 256 colour mode so I gave up on it. Also the race day action looked a little cartoony. In Grand Prix World though it looks all more realistic and is just as detailed in game play. I have taken over to manage BMW and they still have J Villeneuve in my first race though he did shit, mainly due to me fogetting to put enough fuel into his car for qualifying so he retired and started near the back. N. Heidfeld n the other hand got p4 in Melbourne which i was impressed with. Currently building myself a new factory with a wind tunnel and a few development updates for the 2006 car.. damn the game is fun!

back to GP Manager Pro:

I am in serious trouble, It says i don't have enough money to race in the next race help! I accidentally hired a forth driver when i was still learning the interface by clicking on the wrong thing... now he is sucking my team of 60k and I cant get rid of him otherwise i will have to pay him 113k to cancel the contract!... I am laying in 2nd team constructor place in league 145 and both drivers are doing ok...... now how do I get more money :P can i take a loan

Love Trackmania.... First copy I got was Sunrise for £5 with free delivery. Couldn't get hold of the original one..

Will get Trackmania United at sum point... games are great fun..

Good luck mate! Can't wait for the pics.... just make sure you stay safe... have fun!

mad

Yeah I have the same here.....

League 145.. team: Mad Team Racing as if it wasn't obvious

Quote from Sternendaal :

I also wanted to install it, but my disc is damaged

btw.. i did some searching for some updates for Grand Prix World just too see whether some dedicated community updated it.... I didn't find anything but i did find this

http://www.gpm2world.com/

In the downloads section you can grab the full copy of Grand Prix Manager 2.. all you then need is some patches and then some of the mods......

edit: Ok, I have now come across a 2006 Grand Prix World update.. for those that are interested.. http://boostnetwork.net/plug-ins/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=19

Quote from kurent :

I think we need to start organizing races for demo players with the licence as a prize!

Ohh yes.. i have the exact thing in mind... would be quite fun to see demo races fight it out on the track...

I think that this quiz is so hard for any demo racer so much so that they will rather buy it themselves....! hehe....
