Games / What's the fastest car in Forza Horizon?

« on: August 25, 2013, 02:34:11 AM »

I can't figure it out
I use the I-70 speed trap for figuring out the highest speed, that I can reach, of cars, since Horizon doesn't seem to have the benchmark feature that Forza 4 did
in my Veyron SS, to begin with, I got like, 250? I'm not completely sure. but in the EB110 w/ the Veyron engine swap, I got about 260. but I tried again after that with the Veyron SS and I got something like 265, I think, that time
I joined some free-roam server, in my Veyron, and a couple of the guys there started bitching about me using a Veyron, saying some bull about me seeing their Hennessey's tail lights, so we went to a straight tunnel somewhere in the north of the map and did small drags, and I beat him every time. he kept claiming that it was him messing up when shifting or something, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case. after I left the server I went and bought myself a Venom GT just to see if it was actually faster, and it wasn't. like, at all. I couldn't even get it over 260, but I'm not sure if that was just me or what
point is, I couldn't beat my personal best that I made with a Veyron with the Hennessey. but I see all kinds of people claiming that the Hennessey is faster

although, there was one guy beating me in some of the drags, in a Sesto Elemento. I want one of those really bad, but I'm pretty sure it's DLC, and I don't have any money for that

Off Topic / You know how sometimes websites... nevermind

« on: July 30, 2013, 08:14:23 PM »

and then everything else is darkened?
and you can't scroll?
how can I get rid of that using google chrome's console?
I've already gotten rid of the thing in front, I just need to enable scrolling somehow

frick whatever
I don't guess there's any real point in knowing how to do this since scams are literally the only things that use them

Games / Who wants to talk about modded saves for Xbox or PS3??

« on: July 15, 2013, 03:15:40 AM »

so recently I've gotten totally into this
I mean I have completed games like Skyrim and Oblivion and Fallout 3 and New Vegas and now that we have satellite internet I gotta go back and play singleplayer games again
so to add some fun I was like "heh ok let's download a modded save"
and I did
and it's a lotta fun
so far I've done it with GTA IV (wasn't worth it tho), Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas (definitely the coolest one)

also idc if people do it to get achievements and stuff. like w/e that's your thing. if you wanna do that go ahead, it's not like your achievements give you an unfair advantage in online games. but personally I'd rather get them the real way

Off Topic / Are concert versions of songs often better than the other?

« on: July 09, 2013, 07:34:38 PM »

Radioactive is totally what provoked this question
because the original song is ok
but this is like an incredible improvement

so is that common or is imagine dragons just unusually cool about their concerts

Off Topic / are there any good tumblr themes

« on: June 30, 2013, 04:29:24 AM »

I want something that looks nice, without being annoying
preferably just one column down the middle, with the ask/etc links on either one of the sides (doesn't matter which)
like just, any that don't look like crap, but definitely what I just described is the best layout

Off Topic / Skype video messaging is free.

« on: June 27, 2013, 08:45:28 AM »

Skype on my iPhone updated today and something in the changelog was "Video calling is now free and unlimited"
is it any different than how it already worked on the PC?
bc iirc one-on-one video calling was always free, but if you wanted more people in calls you'd have to pay
so what I don't know is if that had previously not been free on mobiles, but they added it, or if video calling is entirely free now

read replies 4 info

I wonder what's going on...

Games / Is anyone else having problems with billing information on Xbox Live?

« on: June 15, 2013, 12:17:25 AM »

I'm trying to add a payment option to my account/edit my billing info, but it just gives me some error each time
the error code is 80072741 if you want to look it up yourself
this is what it says

but the website doesn't say there are any problems
nothing has changed since earlier, when I was doing it without issue
and neither of the two bottom things could be the issue because I can't tell them what my card's expiration date is, and I can't even see what the billing info is in the first place

if anyone else wants to test this out yourself, go to account management on your xbox, and either:
A. select "manage payment options," then "add credit card," it takes you to a menu, wait a minute, and if the right side of the menu loads, then it's working, otherwise it'll give you the error
or B. select "billing information," enter your password for the account, and do the same waiting thing
so if you do try it, please let me know whether it's working or not

Games / Forza Motorsport (aka the best racing games ever on the Xbox)

« on: June 11, 2013, 05:11:28 PM »

instead of just Forza Motorsport 5, let's make this a thread about Forza in general
Turn 10 is super cool. they made all of the Forza games, except Horizon, which Playground Games helped with

I'm not gonna make a great OP for this because tbh I don't think it'll get much attention anyway

original OP:

video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYTx9DFWMSI
another video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r46D1lRpO1k
even more video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzNw_bjypK0

video w/ talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzRyCAIu0ws
this drivatar thing is pretty cool even tho it has the dumbest name on the planet
except that would mean I can't just set all the AI to easy ;~;
if I was gonna get it

so ya
forza will be the only thing I'll miss about xbox
since halo 4 sucked imo and idk stuff about halo 5 or whatever the hell they're gonna call it

Off Topic / Does anyone know what this icon is? It's in my taskbar

« on: June 08, 2013, 03:22:39 PM »

that little thing
I've never seen it before, and every time I click on it,  to open whatever window it corresponds to, nothing comes up
the very limited information I have about it makes it really hard to google it

Off Topic / Good people to follow on Tumblr/Twitter?

« on: June 05, 2013, 02:08:06 PM »

I signed up for both of these things today and I dunno who to follow
I'd prefer things that aren't like, companies and stuff, or indie developers, whatever. so I don't really care about accounts that blog and tweet updates on their games, etc.
artists and comedians are cool, and anyone else who will say entertaining things

Off Topic / Ratboy Genius

« on: May 16, 2013, 09:40:49 PM »

so there's this kid (or maybe he's not a kid?) who makes videos about... uh, idk, really
they are overall kinda ridiculous
but he's made a couple of things that I like
for example, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efjjmpOVzRg
the animation in his videos is pretty terrible, but the music sounds surprisingly good, and the lyrics in this one specifically seem almost meaningful. this particular song is one reason that I'm not sure if he's really a kid. especially when Little King John said "There are many things that need to be erased." that just seemed quite mature, to me. maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but idk...

and this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFfLCuHSZ-U
is super silly. but I think the idea is to let you know how insane the king is (watch this for context)

still tho, I might just be thinking too deep. he could just be a little kid doing silly stuff

oh, also! http://ratboygenius.bandcamp.com/album/ratboy-genius-dreams-minecraft
his music is the other reason that I doubt he's a child

Suggestions & Requests / Something else that can display VCE variables?

« on: May 10, 2013, 05:35:39 PM »

honestly this is less of a want and more of an almost-need
there's something I'm really interested in doing (none of your business!!), but I need a way to display a variable on a brick, or something
I could just use center/bottomprint, or whatever, but I don't want them to have to walk around with that constantly on their screen
some way to display it with a brick, similar to the way names appear over players' heads, and the vehicle names addon, is what I'm hoping for
the event for it should work like the way centerprint and those things do, except targeting a brick (also should work with "self" target cus yeah)
you know?

also if this already exists feel free to tell me

Off Topic / My pet peeve: "I don't believe in x"

« on: May 04, 2013, 11:57:12 PM »

obviously, if you're talking about religion or something, saying you don't believe in god or whatever is fine

but saying something like you "don't believe in paying more than $15" for something? that just seems ugh
like, it's not wrong. the actual definition of "believe" includes this type of thing
I just can't stand people saying stuff like that, it seems really ridiculous
dunno why

also, same thing goes for saying that you do believe in whatever
