Yeah, and he had several Bro deals to make it happen (outside of the eBay stuff).

I agree. RDR dealt with Broken men in a Broken world that was far from perfect. The only thing it could have done better (IMO) is made John's search for his family a bit more real. I never got the sense that he was truly missing them, or that they ever existed.

And thus we have ODST's

He also has an ugly new motorcycle.

But that's the thing. Its supposed to be a game about car culture. There is already a good model IRL for a car culture "festival". Shoot, it even has festival in the title. The Goodwood Festival of Speed.

If it's about car culture... why is it centered around a MUSIC festival?

The best part for me was watching on the infrared as he stabilized out of the spin.

That was my thought as well. I used to sail, and the best winds started around noon and picked up till sunset when things would die down.

It's odd that they had so much trouble with this stream. I'm assuming they were using the same structure that they used for the Mars Landing we had this summer. While the actual coverage was a bit wooden (the "pre-show" interviewer had no life and was literally reading from a script on screen) the interface and…

Remarkably similar to my first (ok second) crash. Driver failed to yield when turning left into a Gas Station and hit me. I rolled over the roof/windshield and landed on the opposite side of the car on my hands and knees. The main difference between mine and this one is where the hit occurred. I was hit nearly square…

I agree. As vocal as the FemShep community is, they are the minority. IIRC a vast majority (something on the order of 70+ percent) play as BroShep (and Soldier Class).

I've always wanted one of those.

There are two games I'm worried about this fall: AC:III and Halo 4.

Ignoring the original iPhone (which cracked the t0uch screen code) none of the features in any of the iterations has been... revolutionary. They've all been eventualities. One could argue that the 300dpi screen was revolutionary, but I feel that was more of a "first past the post" than Apple reinventing things. Even…

I was wondering if the torque requirements of a competition cyclist would be small enough to enable the use of shafts.

You are right about the advantages of a shaft drive in the durability department. However, to my knowledge the only time shafts are used in a racing environment in on cars (where the power produced/ form factor requires it). All racing motorcycles and bicycles are chain driven. Why? because it's simple and light and…

While originating in a movie, several games have used them (most notably the indie game Armagetron and the quasi movie sequel TRON 2.0). The TRON Lightcycle. While they technically made a Legacy Style Lightcycle (that SORTA resembles the movie bikes) it has yet to be brought out of the digital realm.

Ah, Shaft drives. What a great way to loose efficiency and add weight. Outside of that, this is a really cool concept.

Maybe not "the Greatest", but certainly impressive. Valentino Rossi breaks his leg early in the 2010 season. Recovers in 41 days, and comes back to take 3rd overall by the end of the season.

I'm excited for this game. Why? Because it looks like the mechanics of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, with the environment of Deus Ex/Ghost in the Shell.
