  1. I read "The Naked Sun" as a kid, and more of the Asimov books. I'll download it and read it again!
  2. I'm in the white car, there was a slight touching of tyres and then this LOL.
  3. Just played some more PC2 in VR, did some nascaar then some karting, great stuff!
  4. Thanks guys. I don't think it was any of those, I kinda thing it might have been and earlier incarnation of racesimcentral or something named similar. Back then it was one of the most impressive gaming forums with categories for all the racers, mod downloads, huge post numbers etc. Pretty sure I went there for GRID downloads. It was huge, even by todays standards, it was massive. I can find our old racing discussions on ghostrecon.net going back to the NASCAR red sector days in 2003, but not many sites have actually last this length of time sadly. PC2 is remarkable, no wonder it still commands a large price tag on steam. I love the HUD customisation, the only thing it lacks is opacity, so it can be toned down for OLED tellys. Play it in VR was such a rush, highly recommended Zeno! You've been thinking about VR for so long, jump in! Yes and no. The stations do allow "room scale" games where you can move around in your room, and it is seamlessly integrated into the game environment. A good example is a submarine sim, where you are in the confined spaces of a submarine, with all the levers and controls around you - as you move from switch to switch you really think you are in a sub! New technology on new VR Headsets means that a player movement, and the movement of the controllers is picked up from inside-out technology instead, so no need to base stations. For the best in player and hand tracking though, base stations are still the best experience. I don't find them an issue at all - here's my two. If you only want seated experiences, there are plenty of VR games that fit the bill.
  5. So I got the racing humble bundle which includes PC2 , wow, what a rush in VR! So I am thinking about getting back into e-racing. Back in the day when we were doing Nascar and Dirt etc, there was one web forum that was awesome, with huge categories for all the games. Can anyone remember what it is?
  6. I've been looking for a good racer. On the PS4 I played Drive Club and it is really awesome, terrific visuals, lots of cars and tracks - but the online is dead - literally, because the game servers have been shut down. Such a great game too. I tried a free Forza demo not too long ago, it was pretty cool.
  7. Don't know if you guys saw this, but theres an all new GRID coming out in a few months! https://store.steampowered.com/app/703860/GRID/ Loved the original. This one is full AAA price so it better come packed with cars and tracks.
  8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORIIhUpaYMc Happy Birthday Panic - heres your gift - animated your Wildlands Photo a little :o)
  9. Forza Horizon 4 - anyone tried it - I just played the demo there, great looking racer.

    Crew 2 Beta

    Anyone get into the Crew 2 Beta - it's pretty good!
  11. I'd wait until next year, the next gen of hi-res headsets are coming out soon.
  12. Okay I played it in VR and it was pretty amazing. If you like this game you'll love it in VR.
  13. I'm having a spot of difficulty getting steam to load the beta for me, but some really positive feedback on reddit
  14. I know you guys like Payday2 - beta is out for VR, looks amazing, I'll try it later tonight.
  15. SDE was noticeable in early early games, and I'm the type of person that it REALLY annoys. I am ecstatic to report it is virtually unnoticeable in the current crop of game releases for a number of reasons. I never notice it in Alien Isolation and I definitely did not notice it in Serious Sam that I just downloaded tonight - oh my god what a blast that game is.
  16. I'm back with more VR stories. Well one. I've 150 VR games now - and the one I actually can't wait to get home and play - Alien Isolation! Just drop a dll file into the install directory and the original game is playable in VR - and it is absolutely stunning. And Scary. Hope some of you guys jump on the VR experience soon....
  17. What?!!! And he never even dropped in?!!! Too busy setting up his new home in Edinburgh and building his new VR ready PC I suspect!!
  18. HAHAH I have not even clicked play yet and I love it.
  19. Congrats dudes. Congrats on keeping it going for 10 years. Congrats on maintaining a really good group of guys. ... and thanks for providing me with more than just a TS channel.
  20. I was looking for the Croft BTCC crash on youtube and came across this from last year - don't recall seeing it at the time!
  21. Talking about Naval action, you guys see the news about the Queen Elizabeth launch today? Largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy, 30 minutes from my house. http://www.itv.com/news/2017-06-26/navys-largest-ever-ship-hms-queen-elizabeth-sets-sail-for-the-first-time/
  22. Poor guy in the white pickup, minding his own business and ends up hanging by his seatbelt.
