As good as you are in a realistic game like Forza or GT, the fact that you care about your life will make you much slower in real life. #forzamotorsports3

I love racing games and I'll be getting this one for sure but I always find solace in the fact that they have some kind of arcade feel to them.
With Forza, not so much. It feels real. The consequences for minor mistakes equate to major wipeouts.
I just don't think I can hang. #forzamotorsports3

Old school gamer though, hate the word "assist". #forzamotorsports3

It never occurred to the F3 devs to separate the game-oriented driving assists from the actual vehicle hardware. #forzamotorsports3

@marklip: You're right. I was just looking at decimal places and not paying attention to the time, haha
@Poul Wrist: I followed WRC and MotoGP pretty regularly for a while. There's a big difference between lapping within a few seconds and lapping within 0.2 of a second. If everyone were that consistent, there would be no reason to race - mistakes happen, as do unusually great laps.
I'm just saying it's not too likely he just sat down on the Forza sim rig, ran a lap, and it came out so close to his race time - but if he were racing all afternoon, he may have gone "hey, that one was close to my real time!" I'd expect to apply the same standard to Gran Turismo, or even an actual car. #forzamotorsports3

Anyways, it's great to see how physics in games are improving so much so, that real life skills are crossing over so well into virtual spaces. #forzamotorsports3

more like helping microsoft flag potential pirates - going online, but not downloading the DLC?
not sayin they gonna ban ppl for not downloading ti, but its one of the "red flags" and combined with other factors = pirato

But this is most likely just to encourage people to buy new copies over used, which is something else you should be doing if you want to support the companies you buy your games from.

But the full list of cars is already on Jalopnik.

Used games sales feed into new games sales. Pirates are just a cancer.

If a guy was too poor to buy Gears of War so he pirated it - found out how awesome it is and is now going to buy Gears of War 2 - the developer is a lot better off than if he skipped Gears 1 because people don't often jump into stories half way through.
Let's relate that to TV Shows. If someone missed the first 5 seasons of Lost and can't afford the box sets, pirating them in time to watch season 6 would benefit Lost because they would get better ratings than if that person just tuned into something else.
Let's relate it to the music industry. How many students are too poor to keep up with the music scene, now consider how many students sell out huge festivals and buy all the merchandise thus spreading the word.
Piracy has its pro's and its con's.
As for the other argument, gamespot help fund a lot of games but if you really don't want to support them buy from tesco.

/or maybe not... anyway, anyone else hate the Sidewinder tracks as much as me? The *worst* series to complete was the American muscle one where you had to take our ginormous beasts we call cars and run them around that stupid track. Soooooo much frustration trying to make a 2005 Dodge Charger turn...

The full reason I posted it in this post is because I sent this in as a tip to Kotaku awhile back but never saw it posted anywhere so since this topic is relevant I thought it would be nice to share.
Apologies to all that I offended with sharing knowledge =/
