That night start looked terrifying to drive in.

These cars always look so fast, even though they're way slower than F1. It could be because they are actually pushing and going 100% so much.

I don't but I don't care if people do.

Though, people who take and post them non-stop on Facebook do get annoying.

Hopefully their proper livery is that amazing bright blue/bright yellow color again that they had from 2002-2005. We need more color in F1. There's already a mostly black car.

Yes for some games, no for others. I had something like 40GB of mods for Skyrim, most of them visual. For Oblivion I did a similar thing. For Fallout 4, I am going to get the full dialog mod but that's about it for now. I get why that dialog mod exists now since I've been playing it more. A lot of the shortened options badly misconstrue what they are actually saying. I'm not really into the settlement building stuff.

I do also use console commands in Bethesda games a lot, mostly disabling and enabling collision and unlocking terminals since that terminal mini game is garbage and super frustrating. I don't unlock doors though because that minigame is easy. In Fallout 3, I didn't really care for the combat, so I ended up playing most of it in god mode because I just liked exploring and seeing the quests more. The combat felt entirely dull to me so I just basically removed it.

I used to really like mods for Battlefield games as well.

Maldonado is confirmed out of F1. End of an era. The number of penalties will probably quarter so long as McLaren Honda get their crap together.

So many good ones in this thread. The main theme from Ocarina of Time is one for me too. Same with the MOHAA theme (I was huge into that game. It was one of my first multiplayer games), the BF2 theme and anything from Age of Empires 2 (I've played that game since I was 7, so it's a big one for me).

Others I can think of are a couple songs from Hotline Miami 2 (like Perturbator's "Sexualizer"), The Fallout Theme from Fallout 3 and 4, The theme from BF1942, the original Animal Crossing theme, the Animal Crossing: Wild World theme, Mute City from F-Zero GX.

The biggest one for me though, is this:

I've long considered the PC version of Mafia to be one of the best games of all time. For its time it was mind-blowing. The shooting was fantastic, the graphics were insane for the time, the cars had highly detailed damage modeling like being able to shoot out the gas tank and run a car you are chasing out of gas, something GTA didn't have until over 10 years later, along with wheel damage, engine damage, and transmission damage including losing gears (Most of this damage modeling was removed from the console version in favor of a simple GTA-like damage model). You also had more realistic traffic and you had to follow the rules of the road. The missions in the game were amazing also. They did a fantastic job of building tension, and the atmosphere was quite good. They managed to do some things in the game that we still rarely see today.

Mafia II was alright, but it lost most of the magic that made the original Mafia so good.

I'm guessing those are the American fat percentages, 'cause skimmed milk here is >0.1% and that's what I have.

Yeah that's my thinking. 1% and skimmed are different things here. I'm in the skimmed camp though I will tolerate 1%. Any more than that is gross to me.

I find "hella" much more tolerable than "hecka." My friends and I would always make fun of one of our online cali friends for using "hecka" in serious conversation.

I've used both "hella" and "hecka" a bit, but that's because I listen to E-40 more than I would like to admit. Nobody here (I'm in western Canada) has any idea what the heck either of them are.

I never would use either in a serious context though.

There's a place for both. I generally prefer text walkthroughs, but for specific cases (say boss fights where you have to be able to identify specific things) videos can be helpful. But yeah, for the most part video walkthroughs feel like a massive waste of time.

This is doubly the case in programming and software development. I was looking up a basic guide to Unity a while back and found a series of videos that was 30 or 40 videos long on the basic of Unity. The first 20-25 minutes of each video was literally watching some dude type in code, most of it boilerplate. He didn't explain it until after he had typed it all in (he was copying from a reference file he had opened elsewhere). Each concept discussed could probably have been covered in around 500-1000 words. I get that a lot of those videos are for people who can't program but man would it help if they condensed things a bit.
