NEMOC Random BS Thread

5:23 is a pretty good time for only spending an hour on it. I was at 5:25-5:27 before I got serious about it. After watching replays and experimenting with turns to find faster ways around I've been able to shave off a second here and a 1/10th there. I figure I spent this much time on it I might as well try to master the courses and try to make it to round 2. What I have learned has already transferred over to other cars/tracks in the game so its not wasted time.
The issue I was having is that I'm using the controller and not a wheel (and more importantly no pedals) so I can never really get the throttle control that I really want. I actually ran in some GT3 tournaments back when I was like 12 and usually got bumped in the semis out of single elim 64 brackets but I was playing like 2 hours a day, I'd love to make racing a living but the reality is that the difference between a B and an A in 1L of Law School means a difference of about 20k salary in 2 years and upwards of 100k by the end of my career and to top it off I didn't exactly do brilliantly first semester.

For the Piloti's do we just shoot Marlon a msg with what we want and then paypal the money?
 
Keep your priorities in line man. I totally hear ya. I gave up video games entirely for a number of years. I'm just getting back into it these past few months. I know I'll never be a pro racer so the closest I'll come is a game. I'm not in it to win...hell, I'll be lucky if I get a poster. But its the best opportunity for me to learn on an even playing field. You can spend days trying to tune a car to get more speed out of it, but when everyone drives the same car it really comes down to driver skill.
 
just fixed my uncles ipod, needed a new harddrive.

and of course after i put it back together i notice there are some little bits of rubber that should have gone around the edge of the HD for additional shock absorption. oh well! opening the case is too much a pain in the ass to do again.
 
Good morning everyone!!!
Was waiting for the famous 'happy hump day' post but alas it was not to be. :( j/k How's the move going?

Haha. Sorry Jeff, been busy. Just got back yesterday. Both cars are done. Imported into Canada, inspected and plated.
Sorry to hear about your mishap Jeff. Must have been scary.

Thanks. EKG is fine. I'll be ok.

Good to hear Josh.

I hear you about moving Mark. Might be interested in the shoes. Little worried about the size. Can we exchange if the size doesn't work?

i'm not recommending thism but i just saw a sony that allows you to plug you iphone/pod into the head unit and close the face so it's hidden, pretty cool idea!

oh wow that is insanely cool. i basically do that in the summer, keep my ipod in the glove box but with winter here, it freezes and kills the battery and then ipod doesnt work right. so im using the iphone now since i take it with me everywhere

Just to be clear, these get shipped to who? Each individual person or Marlon?
From this thread in the Ohio section where it originated from.....

Marlon:
I shot Kevin an e mail asking him if Team Ohio members could get a discount on the Avus driving shoe, here is his response: With an order shipping to a single place, we could do a wholesale deal for you all with a minimum of 12 pairs.
