Sweet, didn't know these things can run without the batteries in em lol

I'll try it

So I bout NTG2011 ... 1st impressions are it's a big improvement from EA. Still nothing like NR2003, but definitely better than EA. I played a race at Dega before installing the update and had the difficulty on hard with full damage and the ai seemed fine and also the damage was just as advertised ... then I back out, install the patch, and do a race at kentucky ... now I'm on legend difficulty blowing them away and there is next to zero damage ... lol I thought that was what the patch fixed? IDK maybe there is another patch coming out to fix that?

lol fail. i would buy it but i get my license in a month and i am in no mood to waste $60

I just successfully pushed JPM to a 4 sec lead at Daytona in NTG2011 lol

im gonna get the game anyway its not a "waste" just because papyrus and iracing set the bar so high. I dont expect a console game to be like a sim. we haven't had a new nascar game in 3 years and we've been complaining about that, now we get one and we complain about it. theres gonna be a few fails when the game gets first released but they usually get fixed.

It doesn't seem so much a problem that the game has some very weak points about it, but the fact it just seems very incomplete. Even if I had a console I would wait until some of the more simple problems were resolved before paying money for it.

It still looks really fun though.

Sitting in class right now, hella bored. lol

GET TO WORK BOY

NO ONE SHOULD BE ON HURR WHILE WORKING

Fuck school very much. I have to suffer throuhg today and tomorrow...
Then I have to get up at 8:30 for ANOTHER saturday school.
Its fine, I'll stay up as late as I want Friday, I'll just sleep all day Saturday.

I'm at dads work. I have my laptop, internet access, my own office, a comfy chair, and no bitchy mother that goes through mood swings every 30 seconds. Good day? I think so.

David Newton on NASCAR Now said Cobb told him she won't return to Ware as the car was not competive enough for her. She's talking to other owners and feels lost.

One race in a car that wasn't even for her in the first place and she's already calling it quits? Good luck DNQ'ing in Texas and running your truck team on 3 trucks and 1 motor spoiled brat cause that's the best you got going for you. 1 person that still had your back and you throw him under the bus too.

Oh my god she needs to just get the fuck out of NASCAR. If they're ever was a women I'd smack it'd be her.

Ian tell Rick I'll drive one of his cars for free ahaha. None of his driver seem to just want to shut up and drive aside from Timmy. Hes about the only one who hasn't ran his mouth.

Would make for an interesting confrontation if her and Danica got into it though. lol

As far as I know, she hasn't said anything bad about Rick Ware or his team. Regardless of her skill, she expected to be more competetive, and she is making a choice she thinks is better for her career. It may not be, but she isn't doing this as an F U to Ware.

She has no skill. She sucks thats all there is to it. She has burned so many bridges with that ego of hers its hilarious.

For everyone here that is on Windows 7 (and possibly Vista, not sure), I found a pretty cool feature when I was messing around with my laptop earlier.

If you have an extra USB drive laying around (1gb or larger is what is recommend, i believe 512 will work though), plug it in and then go to My Computer. Right click on the drive, go to Properties and then click on the "ReadyBoost" tab. If the drive is capable of running it, it will bring on options such as "Use this Device", "Dedicate this Device", etc and then a slider to choose how much space to use. Select either Dedicate or Use this Device (if you select dedicate everything is wiped and it will only be used for this, so keep that in mind), leave the slider where it is at, and click OK.

It basically makes your USB drive into extra RAM for your system to use when it fills up on-board RAM. So if you have 4gb's of onboard and an empty 4gb USB drive, you have 8gb's of RAM for your PC to use and so on. Works really well for me because my laptop only has 3gb's and when I have a couple of 2048 templates open in PS plus Firefox, TS, music, etc I pretty much run out of RAM. This will dump stuff onto the drive and make it a whole lot faster.

(Yes Caleb, i'm sure you already knew about this years ago. )

Well, that charger problem has returned... Go firgure.

I'll probably just go up to Fry's tomorrow or Saturday and get a different one... :/

So this weekend I will be in The Junior Masters Golf Tournament. I tee off at 8:54 AM on saturday and you can track me at this link: http://www.southwestjunioropen.com/

I would greatly appreciate the support. I have had a horrible last 2 weeks and this weekend could go spectacular or horrible so I would love if you guys followed my round.

Well after about 6 good hours of playing NGT11 it is one of the worst NASCAR games ever! The physics are all kinds of screwed up, the AI is stupider than Obama, and the racing is shit. Glad I did not buy this game. It's going back to gamefly next week.

I also found out Jeffrey's Darlington primary truck was a brand spaking new truck, never seen the track before which is a first for RWR. And it didn't get 3 full laps of practice.

brb, slicing my wrists.

I knew they did this with floppy disks when they couldn't upgrade the ram easily back in the late 90s lol, never knew you could with a USB

Off to the first round. Had a really good practice round so I'm excited. Once again, the link to follow me is in my first post.

Yay, mom finally made a My Services account for Bright House which I can now use to access ESPN3

Another delay in the DMR mod release due to someone hacking in their site and stealing their shit (or so they say.)

What did I say about December release date?
