Man I miss CART. Had a good mix of road and oval tracks, had interesting drivers and teams, provided good solid racing. It was the racing series of my youth.

If the Countryman wasn't a Mini branded product I'd be ok with it. If it was Toyota, or Land Rover, or any of the BIG 3, I'd be down with it. As a standalone car it looks rather appealing to me. It my be a bit marginalized in the performance department similar to the M versions of BMW's X series.

It is. If you watch closely at one point the fish is floating above the water.

Agreed. I was expecting the water to stay in the bowl, because racecar/professional driver/skillz.

I really want GRC to work and to take off. I really do. As someone who grew up on R/C racing and Video Games, this is pretty much the best series available. One of my favorite things about the series is how they break up a "normal" auto-cross track with unique "fixures". Got a decent straight but want to make things…

I missed the QOTD, so I'll just leave this here.

TRON, while underwhelming in the pacing department; raised some interesting answers to the question of "what goes on inside the computer?". While the execution was amazing, the delivery was a bit cut and dry. A technological feat that is commonly unappreciated by "the youth" (some of my own generation even) due to…

Thank you NASA for making this look interesting and not another "boring" documentary.

I'm on the other side of the fence on this one. I already pay for XBL to game online, at $5 a month I get my monies worth; so when I have the option to stream netflix or youtube as well, it's just a plus.

I know this is a couple days late, but whatever.

The problem is that it's easier to hold on to a phone vertically rather than horizontally.

And to me that's an advantage.

The Surface, and it's keyboard, is a double edged sword.

I just commented the same thing! I agree. For all it's hiccups Prince of Persia was an OK game based movie.

As bad as it was, Prince of Persia did a lot of things right when it came to adapting a video game to a movie. It had all of the game mechanics that we enjoyed (time manipulation, wall running, open battles, etc) but it flopped in the delivery department (poor casting, weak subplot elements, spotty pacing).

I was more talking about being faithful to the fan made designs, but yes, they are being made.

This gives me hope for the Character based hoodies that a fan designed and are set to be made into actual products.

It's kinda like Roulette with the Lyrics on OCremixes. Most of them are... spotty at best, but a few of them manage to be listenable. I didn't really like any of the Lyric'd tracks for the MegaManX album, but a couple of the tracks from the FF7 and Chrono Trigger album actually sorta work.

It's still an arcade racer, albeit a good one, but it's in the same category. coming from Forza I expected something more along the lines of TOCA3 or something, where you have to drive your way to the faster cars/ harder races to be a top tier racer or something. Not some generic "King of the Festival"

NFS:HP2 was where it was at for me. Though I did play a lot of Underground 2 and Most wanted.
