I'll add you, but yeh, girl's dick and all that. As fun as it would be I wouldn't be able to join you guys much. Usually busy on Sunday and I don't get to play all that much so when I do I prefer to be progressing my offline. Plus I play other games. I haven't played GT in a week now. Rolling Eyes

Then there is my dodgy broadband which likely won't last the whole race but that's another story...

And no I haven't played Lego Star Wars more than once, hehe. Can't believe you caught me!

I am level 21.

psn is AD05F1

30-40 lapers are ok if the racing is tight. mrgreen

Edit: I assume you scouted the GTPlanet forums for Aussies, I know there are a few on there.

Level 19 and havnt played for about 2 weeks Evil or Very Mad

Been to busy on Black Ops lately

by **WebHead** on Tue Dec 14, 2010 2:44 pm

Is it better than Modern Warfare 2? A friend is into it and prefers Modern Warfare 2.

by **MONSTAR** on Wed Dec 15, 2010 12:34 pm

MW2 is pretty dam good. Black Ops is pretty good too. Some say 1 is better than the other but i like BO because its newer Laughing

Better maps on BO, smaller. MW2 are big maps and people always camping. More guns in BO and aa bit harder to kill. MW2 only takes a few bullets and your dead which sucks cause you might only get shoot in the leg or arms and you die. Even MW1 is awesome still to this day

@ Monstar

Just trying to gold all of the seasonal events. Haven't tried time trial or drift yet, but the races are done.

Well worth it, they pay huge amounts of experience points.

by **MONSTAR** on Fri Dec 24, 2010 4:17 am

Yea, ive got gold in all of them. Not to worried about the drift and time trial. Ive had a go but not really a serious crack.

Good racing last night. Your faster than i thought you would be. Was a good night and thanks for joining us Cool

Maybe we can organize a night of racing for a few of us. ZEN will join too i sure.

jezza is a speed demon. definitely finds a few extra tenths somewhere.

by **MONSTAR** on Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:24 pm

Yeah he's not bad

Just got GT5 for xmas and it's everything i expected it to be!

Classic Gran Turismo, nothing less.

One thing I wasn't happy with was some of the dodgy textures on the less important cars...but I guess when you make that many cars you are bound to miss some details here and there.

Also are there no specific manufacturer races like in the previous GT's or am I looking in the wrong place?

Overall, I'm very happy with the game lol.

by **WebHead** on Mon Dec 27, 2010 3:39 am

Yeh no manufacturer races and some dodgy textures. But the essential soul of Gran Turismo is there.

It's funny, when this game only got 8/10 and so forth, I have since been going out and buying lots of games that I skipped over because they only got 7.5/10 and similar scores. Some of them are amazing games I've been missing out on.

Just finished my second enduro. The Tsukuba 4-hour was soul crushing last night.

by **Jarnooo** on Mon Dec 27, 2010 3:25 pm

Haven't made it that far yet, haven't made much progress at all to be honest xD

But I just found what I loved so much about this game, having to buy new cars to fit the requirements of a new race Smile

Hopefully they'll make a patch with dealership races or something because I quite enjoyed that part of the game.

by **WebHead** on Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:19 am

I'm encouraged by the seasonal events, so you should have extra races every month. They pay massive EXP as well.

by **MONSTAR** on Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:58 am

So there are going to be new seasonal events every month?

by **WebHead** on Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:45 am

No idea, but I imagine that's how it would go. The current ones expire after a fortnight. So if they make a new one every fortnight I guess you'd have at least two a month.

If they keep it up.

by **MONSTAR** on Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:03 pm

Hmm i doubt they have new 1s every month. Maybe every season. So 4 a year. scratch

I am ready to race! Thou I am back at work so my times are in the evenings and on weekends AEST.
After racing with Monstar I realised I need to get a Wheel, the Sticks just won't cut the mustard. Monstar (with Steering Wheel) in a full sec. faster then me on most tracks with identical cars.
My Weapon of Choice will be this...

Word on the Forums is that a good wheel can cut down anywhere up to 1-2sec.s per lap.

Now I just need to find a spare $500 and convince my wife that the Wheel is not an eye sore in the lounge room. mrgreen

Regardless of me getting that wheel I am still always keen for a good race.

GT5 MY HOME page is the easiest way.
Set the photos you wish to upload as "share online". you can have up to 8 photos in your photo album as "share online". This is done in game.
Sign in to gran-turismo.com (on the PC), using your PSN name and Password.
Your photo album will be shown on the right side, click on the image you want to upload, click on full screen and simply copy and paste the url.

Here is an image of my Toyota Minolta in action on Trial mountain.

Here is an image I took with Snagit that shows my GT5 MY HOME page, note the photo album is on the right.

I hope this helps...
