Goddamn, I'm starting to really enjoy driving this stickshift dump truck at work. I finally get why you guys rave about stuff with manual transmissions, they're a blast when you nail your gear changes. I don't think I've ever thought of using "Dually Silverado dump truck" and "fun" in the same sentence until this week.

Thanks for humouring me. I hope that's the case. It looks like it'd be a pretty major handicap otherwise. So does that mean the rules allow shuffling things around for challenges?

I'm assuming so, for minor stuff like that it doesn't seem to be a huge deal. I know later on when he's doing the Frame Twister section he doesn't have it mounted there (Or anywhere, as far as I can see). Top Truck seems to be pretty lax on stuff like that.

I'm sure someone in this thread originally recommended 'next car game' on steam?

The latest update gave it online multiplayer and it is great fun! - 18 player destruction derby :)

Is anybody else playing it?

Did they fix the godawful handling? I know they completely redid the engine and it made the cars handle like absolute poo poo. It was basically impossible to get proper airtime off jumps and if you turned off assists, they either plowed through corners or spun out the instant you touched the throttle :(

I don't have a problem with the handling but I'm playing in default auto mode so have no idea what it's like without any assists.
I always go for playing driving stuff as games rather than accurate driving simulators.

I just gave it a shot, and it's better than it was. When they first reworked the engine, assists off was basically unplayable with a 360 pad, and assists at full was pretty much an instant win button because the car just gripped like tarmac. Now I can actually drift corners with all the assists off, so they've made progress at least. Still can't really get as much air as you could before they redid the engine though :sigh:

I mentioned it. I think its a great game and I can't wait for it to be finished! - but its really buggy and has been for the last couple of updates on my PC :(. It takes over 10 minutes to load a race, and then usually half way through that game something goes wrong with the peds and they get all glitchy and I can no longer hit them. Due to the 10 minute wait to start again I usually then quit.

Well, since you bought it in Early Access, check your Steam inventory. You should have a gift coupon for Carmageddon 1 and 2 at least :v:

Random bit of music chat, but I think this may be my favorite live DVD ever.

It's pretty much an hour long zombie movie / concert session and the entire plot is about them being self indulgent and making a concert DVD during an actual zombie apocalypse. I kinda wish more musical groups would go completely absurd with their live concert films :v:

Cygwin is a port of all your normal Unix/Linux commands and programs to Windows. Basically it turns the Windows shell into a Unix/Linux shell environment. Since I do a lot of Linux development, not having to remember how to use Window's neutered shell when I'm on a Windows environment is a big plus to my productivity.

Ah, gotcha. That actually sounds pretty cool! The only Linux experience I have is a few weeks worth of dabbling about in Kubuntu, and that alone was enough to break my brain after being used to XP for so long.
