Sooo ice and runways...

Of you were a true fan you would know they actually used JIS. :hatecat:

This morning was ungodly hell. I'm surprised that was the worst that happened.

And, of course, I had to head downtown because someone did something stupid that they should not have survived, but did.

Didn't even remotely dream of getting in the car, as the freeway was a warzone. Thankfully, the Blue Line train ran on schedule.






Also, within the TV station, this is the vehicle which we refer to as "The Inconspicuous Truck." Because, you know, it doesn't have the TV station's logo printed on it (and also does not have press plates), which are the only ways you'd ever know that it wasn't just an ordinary SUV.

So I am now permanently invited to open pit days at Istanbul Park F1 track...

Aaaand, these are my playmates:

I also broke the track record.
They respect me now...

The power of progressive twin turbos, the gut wrenching stopping force of DTC 60s, the agility that comes with programmable active suspension, razor sharp reflexes of a seasoned pilot and a fortunate glitch in the transponder circuitry...
I have 50 seconds on the damn GT2 RS, even Montoya is 10 seconds slower than me.

You had me until the "glitch", but it is still believable.

Depends on which film we're talking about...

If you think the discussions here get heated, you should see the prop collector/replica forums... :rofl:

For every thing which exists, there exists an internet community devoted to hyper-analyzing it.


In what I feel is somehow a vaguely related post, apparently this life-sized plastic fetus is part of the packaging for the collectors-edition of a new videogame:

I feel as though I missed a step or two in the evolution of videogames. Specifically the parts between "cardboard box on the shelf" and "stunningly realistic model fetus."

Russian life simulator.

I wish people still talked like that...

It's amazing how far we've fallen.

Probably a repost...

Dont feel bad, nobody is prepared for the insanity that is a Hideo Kojima produced game.

For a couple years now Ive been watching the teaser trailers for Death Stranding with a sense of complete bewilderment and curiosity.




Maybe Im just attracted to bat-shit-crazy media, but I think I want to play it.
