Be warned, adding goons to your friends list will make you feel as though you are crap at this game despite ranking amongst the top 1% of the world. Some of you guys are simply not human. L Harrison I'm looking at you.

I've got an unaccounted for £52.49 charge on my card which hasn't gotten itself a label yet, and just so happens to be the exact amount I owe for my LCE after my reward card points. It'll probably contain models for all the DLC stuff that peeps are getting on day one so that non-VIP (scrubs) can see how cool we all are. My online statement hasn't been updated since last Monday so I can't even check if I've been charged yet. Oh god please don't let GAME stiff me on this!

Had some awesome races with SAEG and LLJK. Spec racing is definitely the way to go right now as many people don't have a tuned car for each class yet. We had 12 BMW 2002 Turbos on Hockenheim, MX5s on Laguna Seca and Stock Cars on Indianapolis. Also those Hummer H1s are stupid huge, overtaking one of them in a VW Rabbit had me fearing for my life. Also also, if you can't connect to a lobby then make sure you have an open NAT. That's pretty important. e: Also also also also, to all you in and soon to be in SAEG. I'm gonna host a lobby on Saturday for us at about 6/7pm. Maybe earlier depending on how bored I am. Either way I'm hoping to get some good clean racing going on (don't worry about making cars, we'll just spec it for now) and maybe a couple games of football if the mood takes us. If it goes well then we'll plop it as our regular SAEG race night. Jarf fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Oct 14, 2011 |

That was also in Forza 2 & 3. What you do to get rid of it is put a big square on the 1st layer that has your base colour and use that as a background. Voila, no more borders.

Logue posted:Does anyone know if there is a difference in the type of racing people prefer in LLJK, SAEG, and GISH? I've noticed in LLJK it's mostly screwing around or doing gimmick races instead of class races. Are the other groups the same/different? SAEG is for the UK/European/GMT friendly areas. Skill level doesn't really matter but we do tend to actually race rather than just crash into each other in H1s. That and play footy, can't have a session of racing without at least one game of footy. Make sure you enter the codes you got with your game otherwise you're gonna be a sad panda when we decide to play football or do NASCAR on the speedway Football is too much fun. We had a game in GMC Syclones, American Muscle Cars and a third game in City Cars.

Falken if you read this you need to make it so that people can request an invite of their own accord rather than having to be invited, that way I can just scroll through the requests whilst reading the forum. Everytime I go online I have friend requests from people wanting to join and I have 90+ friends now. SAEG people, I'll be on at about 9:30 - 10PM GMT tonight if y'all fancy a few races (or are waiting for an invite and have had no luck with Falken). Probably be racing into the wee hours of the morning if enough of you show up. blodycoughbynewport posted:

I am bad at this game and often have lap times 1~4 seconds slower that whoever comes first. Here's my B class car anyway, I'm no better at painting either. And for F I have this badboy. Sucks that this game was released as I started the last year of my degree. Studying is really cutting into my vidja game playing time. Think I may put a thread together for SAEG in private games so we have somewhere to discuss and specify the spec we want to race for each week and so on and so forth. Stop me from spamming this thread too.
