LFS. Thursday 12/31, NOW. Come play dammit.

[BLINGMW]

8PM until whenever. I'll set up a demo server called "MM Test", password "MM". Come find it. We'll be racing the GT turbo that's even available if you just DL the demo, and it's pretty easy to drive. Those that have played before and those that haven't are all welcome. If you played a year ago and haven't played the latest version, come give it another shot, it's quite good IMHO. We'll share some setups, check out a few tracks, I'd like to get something regular going if there's any interest. Pull out your wheel, gamepad (what I use), whatever (you CAN use the keys, although it kinda sucks), DL the demo and come play. :!:

I'll try to hop on. It will be my first time playing but I'll at least be a warm e-body.

It took me a while to figure it out when I first d/l'd it too ;-).

[.RJ]

lol

i'm moving approx. 50 yards down the complex to the next building over due to renovations. how shitty is that.

[.RJ]

Do you get a free month rent or free movers or something like that?

Hooray for atl....

Hooray for atl....

first month's rent is discounted and 250 bucks for movers and stuff, while they laugh at us.

not only are they booting us to a new building but our rent is going up huge too. our location is just too good though, and we're hopin to have a little house maybe next year so we just have to bend over and grab the ankles. hock:

[.RJ]

They make you move *and* raise your rent?

Thats bullshit. Do they offer you to opt out of the lease instead?

[Maengelito]

i wish i had a wheel to play. the mouse just isnt the same. and that has nothing to do with the bottle of wine i'd drink by myself while playing you and evan online

dunno. the sad part is that really, our rent is still lower than neighboring complexes. we also need to be right next to Emory U. like we are now, so that i can either drop Jen off on the way to work or she can walk/take campus transportation....because a parking pass at Emory is 600 bucks a year (not taking into account that her car - the explorer - drinks gas like it has a hole in the tank and that adds up over a year of commuting even over such a short distance).

basically, we're stuck. we're just trying to bide our time and save up for a tiny house or something (big RV?) so we can get out of this f'ing rental hell known as metro atlanta.

we now return you to your regularly scheduled LFS thread

It is that bad without a wheel or controller? I don't have either.

i like it, but its difficult using the mouse which is the only thing i've got as well. i can see myself liking it a lot more if i had a wheel. and a cup holder. big enough for a bottle of wine

[.RJ]

I bet channing has a boxholder for his wine.

[BLINGMW]

you don't need a cupholder for a friggin box.

Scotty, that SUCKS. I hate moving. :evil:

Don't worry, I think I'll set this up for at least every thursday.

BTW, if the few interested want a little practice time, here's a generic setup I like for the GT Turbo, just save it in the LFS\data\settings folder and it'll show up in the game. Take 5psi out of the tires for quicker warmup in short races:

(hmm, the spaces turned into %, you'll have to change them back to spaces so the game recognizes the file)

To help some of you get started, take a look at the hotkeys page, helps in the game a lot (especially F9, I keep that up all the time):
