I can agree with that, except that F1 is actually more complex than rally by far, but whatever.
Nope. Even Kimi Räikkönen said WRC is tougher than F1.
GO DIE IN A FIRE JONZU
bawww
You mean soccer or Football?
Both
I said complex, not more difficult.

An F1 is way more complicated than a WRC car, as are the strategies ect.

Yeah, F1 would be so much better if all the tracks were dirt, but still circuits and flat, then you would see some interesting designs.

I remember one of the commentators said he had been asked how Formula 1 could be improved, and he replied "Just add water". I think Bernie was suggesting adding sprinklers to some tracks to have artificial wet races. And F1 tracks aren't necessarily flat, that would be boring. There's plenty of elevation changes on tracks such as Monaco and the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
I meant as in jumps, as I feel that that would ruin the whole thing. I also think that there should be a spending cap, with the limits in reverse-previous-reason-result-order. So the HRTs and Caterhams and Virgins could spend as much is they want, and McLaren, Red Bulls and possibly the Ferraris have a very low amount to spend.

Also, remove RBR completely, they're so boring. And Alonso, because I hate him.

I've never watched much of a nascar race, only about 10 laps of an oval race and I had no idea what was going on.

And if you like crashes, watch an F1 race in Monaco or Montreal (Although this year has gone rather smoothly so far.)

Is robot wars extreme destruction any good?
Not, it's terrible. It has the worst physics I have ever seen and the judges are clueless. The armour is completely unrealistic and most of AI is clinically retarded. And the house robots try to exterminate anything within 10 sq. miles of their CPZ.

But it is fun, so I'd recommend at least DL'ing it off piratebay 1st to see if it is a worthwhile purchase.

Even my IRL friend called him the c word :L
It's OT, you can swear. Don't worry, you won't get tracked down by the police or struck down by god.

You didn't know already? Pretty much everyone here does   :approve:
I don't know the names of anyone here.  :confused:

Existing Games / Lucius
« on: June 16, 2012, 09:06:53 AM »



Lucius is a 3rd person horror/puzzle game, where you play as a child possessed by the devil. As you make your way through the game, you must kill everyone in the mansion that you live in (from what I can see). And it looks pretty epic. It is due to release in October 2012.

Info from the official site (Lucius.shivergames.com):

So, what do you guys think?

I have been playing through a bit of it, very scary.

Also, Morfar does some great custom stories, if you like to watch that kind of stuff.

Is the 'Show new replies to your posts' feature working for anyone else? It keeps telling me that the server load is too high, even at off-peak times.

Oh, and I'm very happy with how the Canadian GP went. I honestly hope that somehow this is Vettel/RBR's last season in the sport, their racing style is SO boring.

It doesn't help that I hate every platformer involving Mario, I'm not a fan of Mario Kart, and I CBA to try Zelda, let alone buy a console just for it.

Oh, and apparently, the Wii U hardware will be the same as the current gen 360/PS3. If so, this is another huge fail.

Nintendo are going bust, trust me. It will sell very poorly outside the Nintendo fanbase because the Wii was so terrible.
Because the Wii totally didn't colossally outsell all of its competitors.
Also, ever tried any of the games on the Wii that are console exclusive that aren't Zelda/Mario? The Wii has Metroid Prime which far outscores many huge name competitor console games, Gamecube compatibility (so that's Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Killer 7, Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, ect. in there), Virtual Console (that's Castlevania, Super Metroid, Link To The Past, Sin And Punishment, Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Pilotwings, Paper Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog 1/2/3, Gradius, Super Mario Bros 1/2/3, Metroid, Starfox 64/Lylat Wars, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario RPG, Super Castlevania, R-Type, ect. down), and has a bunch of games like No More Heroes, Madworld, Sin And Punishment 2, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, ect, which overall just leaves the Wii as a console with much more value for money, less carbon copy games (sure, Mini Game Compilations are common, but it's hit the PS3 when it got Move and the Xbox when it got Kinect, and the Wii works far better than those) which a general lack of the generic FPS you tend to get on Xbox or PS3, and it has far more legendary games available to fight off the PS3's PS1 Classics and lack of PS2 compatibility, as well as the Xbox's arcade.
As for the Wii U, if it pulls the same trick as the Wii and has a tone of back-compatibility, as well as some good 1st and 2nd party games, it's got extremely strong chances.
Yes, it did sell massively, but nobody I know that is vaguely into gaming thinks that it was a good console. And nobody I know will be getting it.

You named many games that you thought were good. I bought starfox 64, which was good, except you couldn't save. I also bought Super Mario 64, and hated it. The only game I thoroughly enjoyed was SSBB, and I had to play it with a classic controller, because the wii's controller is terrible in every way.

And I would most likely har disliked those exclusives, because of the wii's appalling control system.

In short, getting an n64/GameCube, and a wii emulator if you had to play those exclusives, would be better than buying a wii.

Plus, the companies actually lose money when selling consoles, they make all their money on the software, which nobody bought when they saw how bad the wii controls were.

Could it be anything else? Is there anything that I can do?

I'm not sure why it died. It always ran well, and never got above 70 degrees, rarely above 50.

CMOS and connections look OK, I was wondering if it was a problem with the power supply or something shorting on the case. How would I check for those?
