Will, you have a PM.

My rFactor HOF: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/rfactor_my_hall_of_fame.cfm?user=johnvon314 Also "fixed" the force feedback in my Logitech MOMO as I found the correct power supply stored in a moving box from a couple years back. I had been using the wrong PS the whole time. Now that thing really rocks...

Either night is fine by me.

Pk, I sent you a PM last Sunday. Wasn't sure if you saw it.

That will be the one play I buy SI or watch NFL Films for when they come out... truly a thing of beauty.

The champagne will flow freely both in NYC and Miami. Congrats to the Giants. I also thought the Patriots would have something more up their sleeves, but it was the strength of the Giants interior pass rush that kept the Pats at bay. New England tries a little trickery on their first play and gets s...

PK,

Ooops... sorry! Those nested quotes get me everytime!

John

The only chance for Republicans to be in the catbird seat is if Clinton is nominated and Republicans play on the (rational or irrational) hate of her that lots of voters have. The Clintons have historically been able to play that to their advantage by playing the victim card when the Republicans (o...

Something that is unfortunately often lacking in TV productions, particularly live shows (at least in my limited time in the industry).

John

I can go tonight or Wednesday night.

Just wondering, do you have a virus scanner active in the background? I used to get stutters all the time until I built a game only PC with no virus scanner. You could try turning off real-time protection and see what happens, as it may be scanning packets coming in that the game is using. I use AV...

Last night was so much fun that I redid the race with AI drivers. I need as much seat time as I can muster, but I was pleased overall with my run. Congrats to Adam for running me down. It was only when I made my first stop at the end of lap two that I noticed the bloody great gap you'd built up whi...

Sebring also has an endurance race that may be fun to try. Last night was so much fun that I redid the race with AI drivers. I need as much seat time as I can muster, but I was pleased overall with my run. Congrats to Adam for running me down. I was right behind him after the second pitstop. I got r...

iRacing price schemes announced: It also appears, from reading the last paragraph of the release, that Kaemmer is taking the Xbox Live microtransaction route and planning to nickel-and-dime players to death. That also indicates that this game will have closed code, as I would imagine that Kaemmer d...

Just checking the multiplayer options, it does appear rFactor can be set to race by laps or by time. Its in the upper right on the screen where you set the parameters.

John

I'll try to get in tonight as well.

John

just wait til they buy the NBA off. Enjoy NBA live as your only choice. Ugh..... So far the NBA has been more forward thinking. The idea of licensing the arcade titles (between EA and Midway) on alternating years has actually lead to better games on the EA side. They'll never do this on the sim sid...

Big gender gap in the vote.

Could this be another "I feel your pain" moment?

John

Thanks for the update. I was wondering if any other U.S. sites had a legitimate shot of hosting a USGP. I'd love to see it return to Indy, but I fear that's still a ways away. Doing a little googling, it appears the Japanese Grand Prix may alternate between Fuji and Suzuka. I hate to see Imola go, b...

Interesting reading. Few arguments from me.

Take care,

All except one of the major categories had close votes too. The Champ Car mod would have done better if not for all the shaky updates.

John

All the candidates change their message and position so much, and it's not even so much to do with the different audiences. That and the likelihood party voters will fall in line within a month for a ceratain candidate are what depress me the most.

John

Looking at the 2008 F1 schedule, I am surprised to see Magny Cours and Monza on the list. Is Imola out of the rotation? I thought the Italian Grand Prix was going to alternate between Monza and Imola. Also, is there anything in the works for a new U.S. Grand Prix site?

Still a great schedule!

John

Is The Witcher open ended like the Gothic and Elderscrolls series?

Thanks!

John

I will try to join in as well tonight.

It's under ESPN NFL 2K5. A real shame that EA has not used the ESPN licence like this.

Thanks! I never did patch it thankfully.
