I kind of wanted Forza 3 but I have Forza 2, which looks to my ig-nant eyes to be pretty much the same.
They are pretty similar, I'm not gonna lie. Even some of the same tracks.
But 3 is much deeper than 2. You can mess with every tiny little thing. And it looks better. Somehow they made the best looking racing game ever look even better.
because you see, i wasn't actually selling Armani, they had told me in the interview i was going to be sales but when i had showed up to work there they told me i was going in the stockroom instead
That seems...something.
dishonest?
offensive?
yes, yes it was
i was massively pissed off
i basically radiated anger that was measurable with scientific instruments for like two days after it happened
so, while this job selling AmEx cards is kinda shitty
at least they are honest about it
they made absolutely no pretensions that it is thankless work with an extremely high rejection rate and lacks income and job security
but that's okay, for now, at least till i can get something real
and since i have a very high chance to get a real job working in corporate sales, things should be fine
it's just good to have back-up plans, is all

Yeah I mean, I gave crap to other people but I don't think to such the extent as I received it. I figure it was all in good fun but my paranoid brain sometimes thinks there's something I'm not aware of.

If you like racing games that let you do anything you fucking want, then pick it up.
I do like insane modding. I took great delight in modding a Beetle so that it could blow the doors off of my brother's Mustang in Gran Turismo (2?, 3? for the PS2).
Heh. I took the Mustang SVT Cobra in Gran Turismo 3 and modded it to the point that I could lap my friend racing in a Lotus Esprit.

Yeah, that's cool. Shit though, Forza 2 was almost too deep for me.
Though it was super helpful when I was shopping for cars!

Maybe it was just because of bad luck or something but I found Forza 3 much easier to get the hang of as far as the controls were concerned in comparison to Forza 2. I enjoyed the demo very much and if I knew more people who played it I would buy it sometime.
BTW, this is a kick-ass awesomesauce article about rape. I'd make a thread about it but then it would become a rape thread and making a rape thread is a little like raping the forum.
We need to revoke the rapists’ social license to operate. We need to stop asking, “why do we think he didn’t know she wasn’t consenting,” which is the first question now, really. First as a cultural matter — leaving the legal matter aside — we need to adopt the stance that sexual interaction ought to always be had in a state of affirmative consent by all participants; that anything else is aberrant.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

So I was thinking of getting Forza 3 and so I went into the G&T thread and started reading it. But it's left me puzzled when someone mentioned "unholy modifications" to a Veyron. I'm trying to figure out what mods you'd even make to that car short of maybe lightening it a little. It's not like you're gonna strap a third engine in that bad boy.
In poor taste perhaps but we haven't gotten near unholy yet.
Fill it with nitromethanol and hope it doesn't explode.
In all seriousness it's pretty much always possible to extract more peak power from an engine by throwing more and more forced induction at it. The difficulty is getting it to run reliably and getting a usable power curve.

in real life
there is a v8 engine kit for miatas
I want to do this when I have a garage and some free time and money
They are leaning toward saying that my car is totaled. It's apparently pushed in all the way to the back seat.
I am trying to decide if this is a good thing or bad thing.
If the frame got bent, you're fucked and its not worth the cost to repair it. Also if your car was worth 4k anyways, outside of minor repairs it was a good chance they were going to write it off.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I'm guessing your biggest problem there was getting the Mustang to corner in under a week?
because you see, i wasn't actually selling Armani, they had told me in the interview i was going to be sales but when i had showed up to work there they told me i was going in the stockroom instead
That seems...something.
Retail outlets pull bullshit like this all the time. I once interviewed for a computer sales position at Circuit City and they tried to funnel me into the music department.
yeah, that is just a thing retail does
i was just really, really disappointed about it because i was really excited about that job and then they were like "oh actually you are just going to be another stockboy lolz" and i was like "yeah, no thank you"
sales and marketing are my thing, man. they are things i am skilled at. i am not going to do stockroom work, it's not that it's beneath me it's that it is not the right job for me
the job with tigerdirect is corporate sales and marketing. i'd be selling computer hardware to corporations, designing marketing approaches, and dealing with ongoing corporate account management.
it's basically an ideal job for me. i am pretty much made to be a heartless suit.
Yeah I mean, I gave crap to other people but I don't think to such the extent as I received it. I figure it was all in good fun but my paranoid brain sometimes thinks there's something I'm not aware of.
alright. i can not tell if my ex is fucking with me or just randomly doing things. the last thing she did on the facebook was ask me if I was too afraid or conflicted to say hi to her in a store. there was a brief wtf discourse and that was the end of it. then i mention my car being totaled and she "liked" it within a minute of me posting it.

Usually I never see kick-ass awesomesauce before or after the word rape.

you were the only one who was actually copping to liking japanimation
and also you were looking for a drink with peach schnapps in it
but really you were not a wierd kid or anything. you're a lot of fun to hang with, and i don't really think that you really got it any worse than anyone else. at least not that i noticed.

I went out with a girl recently who likes to do track days with a souped-up Miata.
Apparently you can make a Miata track-ready pretty cheap.

They are practically track ready straight from the factory. It is an amazing platform as far as autocross is concerned.

Like see this story on Jalopnik about the $500 rally car?
Someone on Jalopnik duplicated the car in Forza using just the pictures from the story.

That doesn't seem right. You should get exactly what the car is worth.
When I do these, you get Glass's Retail (unless you're a motor trader) adjusted for mileage and condition.

that's not true at all sir.
Thank you. That people get into entire arguments based on facebook bullshit makes me sad in a way I can't really explain.

it's cool, i take it as a compliment!
everybody has their talents and skills and ideal jobs
some people are artists or musicians or carpenters or doctors or something
and some people
well, some people are made for convincing other people to buy things
it's good to recognize one's skills and potential
