We've already established a long time ago that my taste in music sucks. Now share yours. Or listen to this.

I'm like Quasimodo, I only come out when it's quiet 😉

Echoing the same sentiment here. Hi kids.

Have this mad idea of making my own F1/racing game inspired by the ones on PS1. The concept I have for it is putting in loads of features not found in like, any racing game ever (pre-qualifying, in and off-season testing, driver injuries, wild damage model, customisable rules and regs among other things) while ripping off a bunch of other games (like stat building in XCOM/management sims, the look of those PS1 F1 games, namely 97) So it's basically "What if Formula 1 '97, but more?" and partially answering that with a little bit of Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series. My issue is not really knowing where to start. I could totally use Unity because BallisticNG, a Wipeout clone and one of the games I've played recently that's not too far off my concept, was made using it. I suppose what I need to do is construct a little prototype or demo; one track with the base features and assets, but it'll take some time for me to actually learn how to do all this. Yeah, add that to the list of projects I'll never finish.

Intensely studying the Williams livery, of course. That all being said, I'm thinking of going to the British GP this year if I can spare the money. It's a big if though; costs slightly more than a week's wage, for Christ.

I don't know why Williams insist on going down the whole "modern generic toothpaste packaging" with their livery every year but at least it's somewhat inoffensive looking and makes my teeth feel cleaner and whiter. I may even do without brush for the rest of my life and instead ritualistically stare at a 4x4 print-out of their cars as a way of dental hygiene. Hell, if I look at the Martini logo long enough I might even achieve inebriation through placebo. The wonders of the human brain.

With a distinct lack of André Lotterer and gravel at the Parabolica, one has little to look forward to this weekend. Except of course, Lewis and Rosberg and their respective fans chucking bananas at each other as they have done every weekend since Monaco. Discuss.

http://www.f1rejects.com/centrale/2014/dreamcatcher/index.html An article on from the wonderful Enoch Law of F1 Rejects. An article I agree fully on strongly on to the extent that I felt it was worthy of it's own thread rather than a post on F1 Stuff. Honest to god, one of the best pieces of F1 journalism ever written.

We had this thread back in the Lithium days, so I figured I should start it up again since the general consensus is that everyone in OT including myself hates talking to some of the fools in the official board. I'll start off with a blog post about a tweet that Steve Hood made that set alarm bells ringing in my head. http://throughthevelveteyesofmexicola.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/uh-oh-codies.html

Chilton finishes EARLY

Football's getting kneecapped.          

Tool are okay.                                                                      

A Perfect Circle are absolutely incredible. I'd go as far as to say I prefer them over Tool.

I'm thinking of trying to go to one of these races over the summer, and go for a good oul píss up. Never been to England before.

Nine Inch Nails                                               

Radiohead                                                                            

American Football are also very good.          

Placebo is very good.                                                               

So, this is a thing; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSqPj3gdBBw

Get blooter'd ya boy ye                                                      

Your bath buddy Luek isn't here despite me constantly tweeting him to get his arse here.

Syn lost his powers because he and Steve Hood were involved in some kind of drubbing incident.

Pretty much, I was young and naive and had a fuse about 1cm long. I think one too many off topic rants and swearing at people like Helios and Syngamer was what did it. You and myself both, I remember a number of us raging at folk there hahaha

I can't even remember you being banned actually, run ins in the F1 GD forum?
