It sure is. I just couldn't get the drat thing to roll over.







Hold down on the d pad to go directly to photo mode while you're in the car. Either down or up. One brings up photo mode, the other brings up telemetry.

Well I just bought an xbone in part for this game. Loving this so far, all the car selection of Gran Turismo but with actual fun thrown in.

Sent a friend request to GutBomb303 as ImpBoy68 for extra club fun times.

I've been having tons. There are people WAY ahead of me but I just finished my 2nd Finale, so that's about 120 races plus two finales and however many roadtrips. Time to start building some new cars.

Let's multi-play some this weekend, GRC folks!

Come at me, bros!

Goddamnit you guys are no loving fun.

I'm racing my rear end off trying to catch up from two weeks of being sick as poo poo to working my rear end off and then going on vacation; and now I'm playing as much as possible and posting pictures and doing a GRC rivals race after EVERY CHAMPIONSHIP RACE and no one else has poo poo to say.

what's it like to have a life?

E: I could be playing Alien:Isolation but I'm too scared.





O no, MacClay, we're the same level! The Universe might collapse! Oops, that was awhile ago and now we're not.

Hey, I'm 2nd on the ladder behind SmokeyXIII! Look out, Smokes. I still have a day or two to catch up.

Great seeing you other GRC guys out there. I think my personal fave from singleplayer drivatars right now is Chickenbisket but A1ohaSnackbar might have the coolest name. Honorable mention: flyinpckls.
Shout outs to Comrade Flynn and Vedic, and BCRock. Hope you guys pick the game back up.

I just made this horrible thing:


Ok I see that a lot of people I have called out have not played at all this week. Oops.

Anyway, here are a couple of videos:
This first one is the "get that 15k XP board at the airport" vid. I know this is already up and YouTube and all, but it was fun in the Veneno and I got it on the 2nd try (PS That horrible paint job is history):
>> CLICK HERE <<

Thee next vid is from the Online Freeroam fun SmokeyXIII and I had tonight. Niether of us knew much about online, we just jumped online and hoped for the best. During a Crosscountry event I caught air right over another racer and it was pretty drat exhilarating. We had our good races and we had our bad races; but overall we had a fun time and made a decent amount of money and XP. Smokey now sits on the top of the club ladder in Tier 2. I need 166k XP to make it to Tier 2, but I think I'm gonna try.
>> CLICK HERE <<

I still have Alien: Isolation sitting there, taunting me. FH2 is enough to keep me from trying it and peeing my pants.

BTW AZ Pilot, I don't mean to embarrass you if this isn't your own creation; but if it is, I just wanted to say that as I raced this car in American Muscle last night I kept staring at it. It's just this bright red ball of retro awesomeness, I had to get a picture. If you did this, bravo. If you got if off the Storefront, then hats off to the person who made it and to you for having such a cool livery for me to race against. I'm getting a little tired of the same old random Horizon 2 liveries (of which some are, surprisingly, pretty cool)


Also, UNF:

That brings up an interesting idea. What if a developer celebrated the fact that their user base is generally over/under weight and rendered some fatty with a neckbeard. Polygon would have some introspective article about the unfair depiction of gamers and society would continue to mock us.

There are lots of games with character generation that allow you to make an avatar that allows you to look very close to how you really look in real life. These games, granted, were Single-Player mostly, including some multiplayer games like PGA Tour; and there are times when I go through creation and make a skinny white guy with a big gut. I did the whole EA face scan and made a totally realistic body shape just for giggles.

The rest of the time I go for the huge dude (like NHL, FYI) where I go for the Hulk paradigm.

All I am trying to say is that game developers already offer lots of games where you can not only make a realistic version of your big-gut self, but you can even scan in your awesome ugly face.

I haven't seen neckbeards yet, but to be honest I figure it's just a matter of time. Hehe.

Something really interesting I've noticed over the years of the Xbox 360 users having Avatars:

Just about everyone I know in real life (so I can compare to their online look) has an avatar that strongly resembles what they actually look like, even if they're fat, short, neckbeard-havers who wear socks with sandals. I'm actually kind of impressed at the general level of honesty.

I gave my 360 avatar a moustache and goatee, but the joke's on you, because I can't grow any facial hair to save my life.

E:

Lost all my liveries for awhile. Ended up deleting local save data and then letting FH2 resync.
It got to 100% and sat there, and I had to go to bed.
When I got up today it was in FH2 and all my liveries were back. Just an FYI for anyone who encounters this problem.

I started FM5 when I was getting ready for work today and Sync failed at about 60%. I started it over and left for work, so I'll see if it worked when I get home.

Oddly enough, I was sent a Hurican. Except I had already purchased one a while back. Anyways, when I first went to the My Cars section, I had two Huricans in my garage. Then, when I revisited my garage later to paint that gifted Hurican, I found it was gone from my garage! The only one that remained was the one I bought a while back.

I was also never gifted a Veneno. Bummer since in FM5, that car was a beast!

The wheel base is brand new. Thrustmaster replaced mine that was faulty. I tested it for 5 minutes last night and it works great. Then I packed it in the box ready for YOU to buy. This means you, Howdy. Hell, you could even put it on a credit card!

Had a nice road trip in the sun with a couple GRC guysatars:



Got to the festival and had to decide what to do next. Haven't done Offroad too much, maybe I'll try out my Willys MB Jeep at S1 900! Aw gently caress, it would have to rain all the way to Castelletto, and I just applied my hair gel!



This loving rain is cold. I've got shrinkage in my jeans.


O well, time to go get beat to poo poo by a bunch of Humvees.

"But Master, what would the Festival want with a clone army??"

"Begun, the Clone Races have."
