New Mad Max game confirmed awesome as gently caress. Really don't see why there were 4 other options you could pick when choosing a body for your car because this one is :perfect:

Game also has a built in capture mode that pauses the action, removes the HUD, and gives you free cam with lots of options. More games need this feature :h:

You picked the wrong body style but that's okay too. I just picked up the body style and haven't gotten a chance to play past there. I am pretty excited about survivin'.

The hell you say. I picked the only correct option since Wild Hunt is the classic Interceptor, son :colbert:

Comments are full of anger, though after all the hints he was dropping about RB26 and the "It was all a dream" episode where he gushed over turbo Nissans it is a pretty unexpected choice.

Yes, it was.

Pre-order @ GameStop included an exclusive in-game car body, a poster, and a sweet diecast of one variation of the Magnum Opus.
I'm liking the game. Chumbucket is awesome - spark plug necklace, another sparkplug in his ear, and a tool pouch loincloth?

Goddamnit I want that diecast Opus so much :allears:

Game owns. I've sunk 10 hours into it so far and haven't even reached the second half of the map, just been loving around doing all the side mission-y stuff.

I picked the '32 Ford looking thing, just to be different. I thought about Wild Hunt, but it's not the BoB, man (rear side windows aren't right). Besides, you can change bodies later on, I think. I almost got the Rolls body, just because offroad Rolls.
Note that the diecast that the Game Stop preorder came with is a Wind Hunt, though.

I just got the Shovel Face, Furnace, and :siren:SUPER SPECIAL PRE-ORDER BONUS RIPPER:siren: available on my save. The Shovel Face actually looks pretty fuckin' rad after a few upgrades, not gonna lie.

This Mad Max game is SO GOOD. Just got the cotton candy paintjob!








There's a SweetFX preset in the OP of the Mad Max thread in Games that makes it look a lot more like Fury Road in terms of visual style, if that's your thing:






Honestly the game looks fantastic as-is, I just really like the hyper vibrant look it has now with the SweetFX stuff. It's glorious at sunset and when you've got a ton of explosions at night.

First up found a bag I decided I needed.



This camera as is, seemed dusty but otherwise fully intact.



Found this one bin over from the camera.



Also appeared to be completely undamaged or scratched.



A brand new in packaging Dirty Jobs beanie!



Oh and some pants.



Total out the door price for everything was eight and a half bucks.

Nice find with the camera! I was recently given a mint Yashica and some accessories from my Aunt's b/f:

I think the camera and lens together came out to about a buck and change but I must confess I impulse bought them because I figured I could make at least a little profit reselling them at that cost.

Counterpoint: Upgrade the engine + ramming grill + exhaust, leave off the armor, turn your car into a wasteland cruise missile sent to smash and punish any who dare get in the way :black101:






Seriously though, the cars do feel a shitload better once you get a few upgrades into them. Tires and suspension mean you can actually maintain speed in the really rough sections, and the engines make a fairly noticeable difference.

So yeah, I got to go watch drag boat races for a couple of hours today. I'll do a bigger photo post later on after I have them all edited and sorted, but man, that was a loving blast. Lots of twin turbo and supercharged big block powered jetboats, plus some really sleek Mercury powered outboard setups that sounded utterly mental. It was rad.
