I'm pretty sure those are just standard vintage MX boots, judging by the presence of enough buckles that their count needs to be represented in scientific notation I had a set as a kid that looked like a fuckin Michael Jackson jacket

I took it to an ATV park and was jumping it and climbing rocks and dirt. Surprised I didn't die. I would do it again. My friend has a CRF250F, if he comes I might try to get some videos next time for giggles.

Supposedly the Versys 400 is coming out. The Ninja 400 engine is better than the Ninja 300 engine in every way. I think it's even lighter. They have a missed opportunity if they dont make a Versys 400 XT edition or something. Put on actual good suspension, crash guards, fiberglass body panels, skid plate. It's the kind of bike you'd want to ride 150 highway miles and then offroad. They won't though. It was so much fun  The front suspension has racetech gold valves and stiffer springs. It would have blown up without it 100%, though stock is fine for normal packed dirt\gravel adv riding. I totally want to do the mid Atlantic Backcountry discovery route on it soon.

I forget the exact reasoning for not putting the bigger engine in the versys 300, but it's something along the line that you can't just jam the 400's engine in there since the whole frame is different. So they'd have to basically build a brand new bike around that engine. And we know how Kawasaki is about anything new.

FortNine has a new version of the waterproof gloves review where they acknowledge being wrong and tried a new testing method: https://youtu.be/s_bCmahsa1A I’m one of those people that likes Ryan’s videos but still can’t really stand the guy so I don’t mind a new presenter on their channel. Also I love my Klím Badlands gloves.

How is it the Slayer's aesthetic any different from the 2016 game? I kind of love it. It's BFG-powered, and the front wheel is a chainsaw. Not my ideal seating ergonomics, but it's pretty cool.

You mean the exposed biceps muscles on the suit? I kinda like that, it's a bit of a nod to the original's ridiculous exposed guns and abs. I agree with you about the Fortress of Doom though, especially since (unless there's some EU stuff like comics going on) it just comes outta nowhere and there's basically no purpose for it to exist other than to store your bobbleheads and unlock yet another special weapon that takes BFG ammo but isn't a BFG. It kind of feels like they were trying to one-up themselves after making the 2016 game so bullshit-free, just throw you into this wild ride that doesn't take itself seriously. But it was but over the line, yeah. I still like the bike.

Xakura posted:Nah, it's a balancing act. 2016 was cool, eternal was cringe. Yeah, I'm not asking for a Schindler's List point and click adventure. 2016 was incredible. Eternal is like a bizarro universe version of that game where all the mastery of narrative and pacing and mood were switcheroo'd with ... I don't know quite what. Nerd fan service? It's like eternal is intentionally bad. Good shooting and nice colours, but just ugh. The awful lore dumps and catering to a very specific dweeb power fantasy of being BIG AND TOUGH and having a computer with three screens and a BAT CAVE made me embarassed to witness, let alone play, it. It's as much of a mess as the jump from starcraft to starcraft 2, but maybe there's also an element in there of how the Nolan batman movies and how they really lean into Wayne being really rich. (Which the design of that motorcycle remind me of). The more I think about it, the thing that gets my goat about that doomcycle is the same thing that gets me about doomguy having a huge flying house in eternal. It's not just a dude that has willpower any more, which I guess is the whole point of 2016's characterisation. Now he's just another rich oval office with some toys who gets his way while the game world bends over backwards to jerk off over what a RAD DUDE he is. You're playing a boomer mindset, or a billionaire appeasement simulator. But I also have an actual art degree and no hope of ever owning a house so maybe I just can't see that bike over my pretension and the chip on my shoulder. prukinski fucked around with this message at 03:12 on May 1, 2023 |

Fwiw I agree. 2016 doom had a real gently caress you, punk mindset. He's just a hate elemental that smashes poo poo relentlessly.

You're playing a boomer mindset, or a billionaire appeasement simulator. I can relate to this. I still really enjoyed both games - never actually finished Eternal though, I'm Too Young To Die and it was still too difficult for my casual rear end so I gave up at the miniboss battle with the eyeball in the indestructible cube. I should finish it. The game looked and sounded fantastic and the improved guns were cool and the gameplay was fun, if incredibly frustrating at times. But yeah, your comment is bang-on about how the devs were a bit high on their own farts and made the sequel very cheeseball in that specific way. It's no longer that you're simply Too Angry To Die, the lore (while admittedly quite imaginative) makes you into this Instrument of God, basically. I'm also really, really soured about what the devs did to Mick Gordon. I still love the franchise and am very glad it got a reboot. A polycarbonate replica of the Super Shotgun sits on my desk, and a friend is working on a full Doomslayer cosplay for me (that I should probably do a cycle of tren before I can legitimately wear).

I've seen an XR1200 at the track before, but that isn't very surprising I guess. Also saw this once. He was not slow! A Street Bob is a Dyna I believe, which notoriously wobbles at speed. Hopefully they fixed that.
