Game is good. I have club access so I could potentially create a goon club. I could do that and create a public campaign and upload all the custom goon tracks to it (pretty sure I could even upload Standard/Free edition tracks as long as you just send me the file).

I'll try to set one up after work tomorrow unless someone beats me to it. Post some images for club logos and banners and other poo poo in the mean time.

I think you need club access to join clubs, but I can at the very least create map and skin collections that are accessible for everyone. I'm not actually sure what all you can do with clubs but there's various events and stuff I know. Hopefully I can give other people admin access to the club to do that poo poo too.

The club access was always $30 for 1 year or $60 for 3. The standard access still gets you most of the content and you can play custom maps and public club campaigns.

Alright, the Goon Prix club has been created. It's set to private at the moment so you have to request to join in-game. I also created a public room under the same name running the summer maps rotation.

Dropped in my request for Goon Prix.
Gotcha. I made you an admin so you can also do all the things.

Speaking of ice, I finally figured out how to drive on the luge track enough to get the author medal on training 19! Now to apply it to an actual track...

I'm just using an XBone controller, but I know you can play competitively with just the keyboard too so a controller with digital triggers probably isn't a problem. I think I get more use out of analog steering than analog brakes/throttle.

Yeah F2P feels like a demo mode rather than anything sustainable or long term. I wouldn’t mind paying $10 so I can play with clans. But 30...for only one year?
Or $60/3yrs. It's not ideal but I'm definitely getting $2.50/month of enjoyment out of it.

Has anyone yet figured out how to replace the sound track? I'd like to put my legally acquired Ogg Vorbis files to use.
Why bother modding the game soundtrack rather than just running an external media player?

Yeah same. I was actually planning to just play the free version to see if I liked the franchise before buying some older ones on the Steam sale but I just ended up falling in love with this one.

Training 12 can get hosed though, getting the author medal on that is 95% getting a lucky bounce off the edge of the top of the U.

Yeah, it's medal for the time set by the map author (devs in this case).

I would say I crash every 10-30 seconds, but the game has been perfectly stable :v:

Yes! I finally loving nailed training 12 after like 3 or 4 hours. gently caress this track.

Also I got 23 which was the last one I needed. It looks more exciting but was significantly easier.

What does club add, really? I bought a year of 'standard' for $10 and I don't see what I'm missing..

This game is very good.
Here's a precise breakdown of the confusing version stupidity.

Hey y'all, I was out for awhile recovering from surgery but I'm back at my desk again! I approved all the outstanding join requests and Spectracide I made you an admin as well since it looks like you're around a lot too. Hopefully you'll start seeing my ghosts again soon.

I also uploaded a glowing eyesore skin I made to the club.

This is the one I've been using lately, another one I made. I've probably spent more time skinning cars than I have playing the drat game at this point.
