This week's inductee may have inadvertently given me a new interview presentation format, one that will surely be easier to read, why I didn't think of this myself is beyond me but isn't that what makes a community go 'round?
Also, this:
Which you will also find in the Rewind once I've worked it in. Why? Becase RACECAR... is now a part of the loving Member of the Week madhouse!
I'm very surprised, wasn't expecting it at all really. Pretty cool to be recognized
Well I'll sum it up like this: Came for GT4 news, stayed for the awesome (and sometimes wacky) Community. In fact, next year will mark ten years since I've joined.
As I'm a huge fan of Racing, the Motorsports section is pretty much where a lot of my attention is whether its something for Le Mans, NASCAR, F1, you name it. Obviously the MLP thread is another place, originally looked of curiousity and started watching it semi-regularly just for the great people in thread but as soon as I started watching the show, its pretty much a visited place daily now. GT6 forums for obvious reasons. I'll visit the photoshop threads, usually just to see all the good work posted but have recently posted myself, contributing logos for people.
This is probably going to sound like a very lazy PR quote for Sony
Gran Turismo was my first racing game with licensed cars, it is what made me aware of brands like TVR and Aston Martin and what not, it was what introduced me to JGTC (now Super GT). Basically, its the main reason I'm into cars and Motorsports.
Before I had never been a member of a forum before GTP so I was trying to come up with something cool or catchy, none of which entirely stuck Seeing as I really got into racing that year, I just thought "well I like race cars" so there it was and that stuck.
Having never played Forza (and seemingly denied the chance every time), it would be easy to say Gran Turismo. Because I'm genuinely impressed and actually interested in them, I would say both.
While I haven't all of them more then GT, there plenty I've enjoyed. When I wasn't playing GT3 or GT4, I was enjoying Le Mans 24 Hours and Total Immersion Racing. When I wasn't playing GT5P, I've enjoyed F1CE, Grid, Dirt 2 and NASCAR 09. When I'm not playing GT5 but am still on console, I enjoy Dirt Showdown, The recent F1 games from codemasters (F1 2012 by far) and Nascar The Game: Inside Line. When I'm on my laptop, its primarily been rFactor. I have recently rekindled my interest in GTR2 thanks to the wheel I got for Christmas. If I ever figure out how to get NR2003 not to close on me when I want to do some laps, that'll be another.
Meh, not quite sure I can.
Well I can't exactly tell, but I have
so maybe that answers the question?
Happen to find it one day while going through the stuff in the garage from when my family moved in and found it. Tried it out on my PS3 (was kinda on a "what else can it do?" Spree when I first got my PS3) and after I saw it worked, been using it ever since
Assuming its what I think it is, looks like an interesting thing to do
Hmmm, its a toss up between Ace Combat and the Codemasters F1 games. I like the idea of being this hot shot pilot that just blows everyone out of the damn sky and destroys everything with or without help (along with the fact that Planes are my childhood interest). At the same time though, I also like being the one driver that simply embarrasses Sebastian Vettel on a regular basis
If I could create a series of my own, best I could really think of is a Hatchback only series. When you think about it, Hatchbacks don't really have there own little series or a really noticeable presence in racing (other then the majority of top WRC cars and some cars in BTCC and WTCC). Sedans do, GT Cars do, Super cars do but not Hatchbacks so that's really the only one I could think of. It'd be a two class series with a class for showroom stock cars slightly modified for racing (kinda like the Continental Tire series) while the top class is would be for purpose built race cars with production car chassis and engines.
Well right off the top, there's a really cool art district here. Lots of good artwork there.
While it likely wouldn't look exactly the same, I could see it being as prominent. I feel though it could only happen if a similar personality were in charge and those are becoming abit rare to find.
Well I've gained a new one two months ago thanks to a program called "XNALara", its a posing program where you can take some imported game models and do some posing (as can be seen in my gallery here as well as displayed weekly in one of my blogs here
Unfortunately no, I don't own a car nor have a license and I really don't trust people enough to try and learn to given how worse people have gotten at driving (And yet I love racing, the hell)
Before My PS3 went all RLOD on me, Its been Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and God Of War Ascension.
Well this week its been,
- Anything by Underworld (Mostly from the "Barking" and "Oblivion With Bells" Albums)
- Knife Party & Foreign Beggars - Apex
- Freestylers Feat Pendulum - Painkiller
- Klaxons - Rainbow's Gravity (Van She Remix)
- DJ Icey - A Little Louder (Finally found this after so long)
- Barrie Gledden & Steve Dymond - Beijing Nights (heard on an episode of "Drive" and thanks to an app I found, I end up getting the song)
- Tom Quick - Aquamarine (same story here)
Because..I didn't exactly have anything in mind with Monkeys?
Depends really. If I actually like the Pre-order content in said game, I'll pre-order it (usually through Gamestop since I've yet to get bad service from them). If there is none, then I'll just wait for the price to drop and then get it.
Well I think if all you are focused on is Next-gen and you are saved up to the brim for it, then yeah.
Manual. Based solely on my experience with a wheel (and a motion rig), it just feels more involving and more rewarding.

- "Standing On The Shore" by Empire Of The Sun
Probably 6. Because I'm not so sane enough to be into a lot of strange things (beginning with MK as a child) yet I'm not crazy enough to enjoy headshots and decapatations with an Honest-to-god smile on my face.
I can't quite decide on one overall. I do have several candidates though:
Kurt Busch (Controversial I know, but I've started to like him more)
Kasey Kahne (For the amazing fact that he's managed to compete for wins with every team he's drivien for so far)
Fernando Alonso (Just for his ability to carry a crappy car to the finish)
Kimi Raikkonen (For his no nonsense attitude behind the wheel. And because he knows what he's doing)
Allan Mcnish (Because his ability to find that extra 10th every time)
I don't even know
I remember though that it differs a lot in terms of my vocabulary usage, correct punctuation and (to me anyway) alot more naïve.
Amazingly, none. Admittingly, there's some slight battle damage to one of the sticks on one of them, but all still work. Its ironically the console that constantly dies and not the controllers.
Only time I can think of it was while I was out at a restaurant for lunch.
About a week that one time (that was when my old Compaq finally kicked), but that's it.
As cliché as this will sound, Jordan. Just for the fact that (as far as I'm aware) he's basically a one man crew when it comes to this site. Its like he has the longest job title in world as Administrator/Webmaster/Public relations/Field correspondent/Reporter/Bomb diffuser/Caretaker/Detective/Navy seal/Judge/Jury.
I made up some of that up
Seriously though, just the fact that he does so much of this stuff while other sites have people specifically assigned to do things like that is just amazing to me.
...maybe?
An Elephant. Just for the goofy teeth to be on a elephant and that it creates an awesome name: Helephant
By far, the whole Jenkins deal going on with GT5. Either there had to be drugs or way too many sugary energy drinks that contributed to that insanity
Yep, pretty much the entire time I've been on GTP. Some series have been on GT, some on other games.
Well I've taken the reigns of some series, but usually anything I attempt to create fails miserably I've got a future FGT series planned for GT6, but nothing quite solid yet.
Not alot but Thanks to whoever thought I was actually worth having on this, its pretty cool to be on here.
So here's what basically has happened with that:
My PS3's Multi-output port that I've plugged my HD PVR into to record stopped working, so I haven't been able to record like I wanted. Shortly after, My PS3 then went kaput. I got another one but not even having it for a long time, it went as well :gumpy:. I was attempting to try getting it going last week with a slim I got only to find out I got sold a piece of crap that doesn't even read disks and had to send it back
I'm aiming to get it going as soon as possible because I know people have been wanting to see it again. So as soon as I get a PS3 basically is when I'll get it going, which should next week.

So for the past couple of week's you all will have undoubtedly taken notice of the questions being the same for every new MotW inductee and that's solely because of the length of the interviews at this point.
However, instead of adding more questions and lengthening the process further I was thinking I could substitute certain questions with others to bring back some of the unique to person perspective. So once again I'm here to ask you all to post up some questions!
