Re: OT: Racing 2023 (Spoiler Alert)

Here's where I worry, though, and it's a topic you'll know much more about than me: if those wayward, bored F1 fans are out in force and up for grabs, will INDYCAR know how to snare them in? Viewed from a distance, it's not completely obvious to me that it will, though I'd be elated to be proven wr...

Re: PGA Tour 2K23

It's been a LONG time since I've played a golf game, but my kid really wanted to try the Top Golf mode (eh, it's fine, he loves it though) and it was on sale. I couldn't even tell you the settings used to start a career or what all of the different XP/level stuff going on is doing, but it is one of ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

And even if Motorsport Games releases their IndyCar game, what are the odds that it'll be any good? Really disappointing news, especially with how much it seems iRacing has to lock down--they changed the season schedule to remove any track currently on the calendar and announced that races being bro...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

I'm not sure my teenager has laughed harder than when Emi did...that motion with the gold glove. I'll echo everyone else's sentiments, just a phenomenal event to watch. My parents aren't into soccer at all and they were riveted. And to have both Messi and Mbappe have huge moments in the game made it...

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

I’ll show my bias and recommend taking a look at the Hisense U8H, it’s a pretty big leap over the company’s previous sets (I’ve been working for them for a little while). The specs for the price are really good (mini-LED, VRR, low latency, etc) and the company has put a lot of effort into gaming fea...

Didn't care for it sober, either. Find it odd that I can control an F1 car in iRacing much easier than I can control one in this game. Maybe it'll eventually click.

Re: F1 22

With the caveat that I had some adult beverages before trying, I similarly found the driving model difficult but un-enjoyable. A lot of time facing the wrong direction, will give it another (sober) try to see if I can wrap my head around it.

As someone who is on the sales/marketing side of the TV industry now...

Holy s***, y'all are probably in for some amazing prices in the next couple months as long as you are OK with 2021 models. Everyone has too much inventory, guessing Prime Day timeframe will be particularly competitive.

What an epic Indy 500. Ericsson got the win he deserved and we got to see him fend off O’Ward in a shoot-out as a bonus. My high school friend is now a 500-winning engineer and we happened to be seated across from the #8 pit. I also happened to hit on a $5 bet on ME It was the first time I took my b...

Re: Racing Season 2022 (Spoiler Alert)

The new F1 cars seem to race better AND IndyCar "fixed" their Texas racing, all in one weekend. What a joy it was watching those two races, I'll leave out the complete sh*t show (by design) that is the new Atlanta. Anyone else feel like there is so much animosity and bitterness between Max & Lewis t...

Bowyer's a huge disappointment, the combination of Fox's direction and parts of his personality has him approaching DW levels awfully quickly. Maybe he'll tire of doing it and Harvick can take his place, but to your point Fox pushes the broadcast one direction so I'm not sure anyone can save the cov...

Re: Racing Season 2022 (Spoiler Alert)

I caught most of the last stage and found it to be your typical, idiotic plate racing with an exciting finish. Everyone walked away from crashes and the new car raced better with 40 cars than it did with half the field in the qualifying races, so that part is a big win for NASCAR. Now let's get to m...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 21/22.

A hearty f*ck you to the US Soccer Federation for scheduling tonight's game in Minnesota. It is expected to be 0 degrees at kickoff. ZERO. Sure, the average high temp is 25 with a low of 9, but c'mon, stop this stunt scheduling to try to freeze out the warmer climate teams. This is the first qualify...

What a great event. The GTD Pro finish was insane, full send into the bus stop (I am not calling it the LeMans chicane) for two factory Porsche drivers. Excited for the now-renamed GTP category next year, and the year after when we'll have a much larger field of cars at the top of the grid. One requ...

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)

I don't think they're allowed to specify future roles like Kotick's as of now, but hopefully the "he will depart" stories are accurate. Here's a kicker for you - his compensation package includes a $293mm golden parachute if he's terminated (as long as it isn't for cause) following a change of contr...
