Heck I haven't even turned on my box since last October or November. I'm just waiting for Forza 3. Only a month away.

I gotta buy my own box.

Am I the only one who gets motion sickness from video games?

I hallucinate when I play Guitar Hero. After you stare at the stationary screen watching little colored buttons cascade down it for 5 minutes, everything looks like it's breathing. This is especially freaky with couches.

What the hell Microsoft!? I have to download an xbox live update, it downloads, corrupts upon startup, and now I can't connect to xbox live or play games. I was trying to play forza.
If I get it working (I'm sure I will) I will be on shortly.

Yay. Got it working. Raced. Now I'm done for now. I might get on later. Corrado, I just saw you get on before I shut down. My roommates want the TV now.

Spec Mini is back! Here are the rules.
Buy a Mini Cooper S
Install Level 1 Suspension
Install Level 1 Brakes
Install Level 1 Limited Slip Differential
Install Max Weight Reduction (Level 3?)
Install Sport Compound Tires (THESE MUST BE TOYO BRAND)
That's it. The car must be a C418 car. You can paint it however you like, but no more upgrades or changes are allowed currently. Not even wheels. If it isn't listed above, you can't do it.
And Salanis... get a mic that works!

Yeah... I know about the Mic. I'm gonna half to. That was good times. This was actually my first time doing anything on XBox live. I, literally, just upgraded my account with a promo code so that I could join you guys.

Salanis, it was so good to see you! Sorry I didn't boot the guy with the Camaro from our virtual "Spec Miata" race (I picked Laguna because I seem to recall you'd recently been around the place for real), but I'd had about four beers, and thought I could actually catch him with the ABS turned off.
And dude! You gotta build one of confuZion3's spec MINIs (not Mini, right?
) Those things ROCK!
Aside to confuzion3: thanks for posting the specs. Everyone build one! Even after FM3 comes out, we'll all be able to play with our friends..

You're "preaching to the choir" here, dude...
My roomie is actually the owner of the xBox in our house. And he's a big Halo 3 fanatic. He's kind enough to let my borrow the thing every once in awhile..
EDIT: And you're right. A spec series should run on spec tires. And I'm not saying that just because I have Toyos on two of my real cars at the moment.

ConfuZion3, when are you on?
Id like to join the festivities guys, ifn you wanna race my gt is BobOfTheFuture

Hey Bob! I just started playing again recently. I might get on now, actually. I keep thinking it's much later than it is.
-

I might see ya, but ive been awake since 8 last night, so it wont be long.
You know the Forza 3 Demo is out right?
-
Sept. 25, 2009 9:22 a.m. confuZion3 SuperDork
Yup. I played the demo this morning. Head-on collisions can result in some nice mid-air tumblage. There's nothing like spinning a Mini Cooper on its roof like a top!

Soon as I saw the demo was available last night I downloaded it, and I like it. I think they may have updated the physics engine just a bit. I'll have to build one of the spec MINIs.

Neat idea... I still don't have XBoxLive, but I think I have Forza 2, so I'll have to try the "Spec MINI" thing.
-

I just signed up for Xbox live. Everyone add me, the gamertag is: workbeingdone.
I'll build up one of those Spec Minis.

Pre-ordered the Collectors edition of Forza 3 today, woot! I am excited, gotta get me one of those Fantec wheels too, the M$ wheel drives me insane.

The cars feel more realistic when they push ive noticed.
