This morning at the Nurbergring

At the Nurburgring this morning I put in a very respectable (in my eyes,
anyway) 7'56 lap on my stock Aprilia RSV-1000R without crashing (although I
did ground it out a couple of times).

Does anybody else have PS2 skills so tragically mismatched to their RL
ones[1]?

For the record on my super trick CBR1000RR I could only manage 7'45
(although I did have a minor 200mph get-off) and I gave up on the ZX-10R
completely, because the damn thing was so unstable on the brakes that I just
kept crashing it at the end of every fast section.

Maybe I should go to work now.

[1] Perhaps Ace, who could probably put in a respectable lap of the 'ring,
but doesn't know what a PS2 is.

I haven't played a PS/2/ for ages[1].

On a related note, my xbox 360's just gone the way of the "ring of
death", just in time for Christmas. So a couple of my expected
pressies are going to be unusable on Christmas morning. Cunting thing.

Still, the PS3 and Wii are still working fine.

[1] I still have one, and an xbox and a gamecube. The PS2 and gamecube
are for sale if anyone's interested. I'm thinking about converting the
xbox into a media stream player.

 

Yeah. On the PS2 I utterly rock around the island. In reality I've only
been there as a pedestrian.

As for the two MotoGP wins I had in the 2004 season...

Neither have I. My lack of use of it is the main reason I'm not really
interested in getting a PS3. I'm sure GT5 is lovely and whizzy and all, but
it's a bit pricey for the 2 weeks it would take me to get sick of it.

Or darsy, who apparently has a 360 ring of death, just before
Christmas an' all.

Exactly.

 

Seems to be the way of the 360. My lad, who's been a PS2 user for years
bought a 360 about 2 months ago and it's currently in Poland being repaired
under warranty. His pal's is in Ireland being repaired under waranty and
they're both told that it'll take at least a month before they see them
again.

So is the PS3 worth the money would you say?

Or a cup holder?

Of the 7-8 losers[1] in my office that have 360s[2], all of them have had
the ring of death. One of them, 3 times.

I used my PS2 the other night, first time in about a year. Looking on
Amazon, I could get some great games at next to no money, which would
easily tie me over for 3 years or more. Probably just in time for the PS4
/ Xbox 480?

[1] They're not losers because they have a 360. They're just losers.
[2] No, I don't have one.

 

Sounds like a job for BagelBoy, to me.

 

<fingers crossed> My 360 is still going strong, and it's just about out
of warranty....

Been played a fair bit as well, Oblivion/Assassins Creed/BioShock to
completion, PGR3 a lot, and some crap like Table Tennis got ebayed[1]
pretty quickly. Currently working through Mass Effect, which is turning
into one of the best games I've ever played[2].

If it dies after Mass Effect I'll probably buy a PS3.


[1] Bought for a tenner, sold for a tenner, seems true of lots of
console games. Ebay rocks!
[2] Although obviously not as good as Elite on the Speccy.

Your GP is required to offer you a choice of four NHS providers.

 

They're covered against ring of death for 3 years now by M$, not just the
original one. Or have you had it almost 3 years you mean?

I can recommend Halo 3, PGR 4, Forza 2

 

Ah... I was also wondering about your winter equipement... damn cold in
Nurburgring today

To answer your question, yes, my 13yo son would probably ridicule anyone
here (at least on MotoGP3), but his experience of RL motorized
two-wheelers is quite slim (if I don't count it riding pillion with me).

 

Oooh didn't know that. Excellent. Don't really like the Halo series
much, ditto Gears of War. And I couldn't see PGR 4 and Forza 2 as big
enough steps from PGR3 to invest, I played the demos of both and
couldn't see a point to buying them when I'd played PGR3 to death -
ditto MotoGP 6 to 7.

I've recently bought a Toshiba HD-DVD player rather than the noisy 360
add-on[1], so I've no dependancies on keeping the 360. I suppose when
the next GTA comes out that might change, and Fable looks good, and Alan
Wake...


[1] Now my 720p TV isn't good enough!

Wot, no Dreamcast?

Course I do. IBM's (largely-failed) attempt at redefining the PC
market based on what they thought was a brilliant new architecture.

Not sure I ever saw the particular combination of Laplink and
token-ring network to which you refer, though, and nearly 8 minutes to
get round seems a bit excessive. No wonder Ethernet became the more
common standard.
