Great, starting GT6 all over again.

Invest in a surge protector.

ditto on the surge protector. My system is attached to a UPS with built in protection. Saved my bacon a few times.

Well, the absence of any kind of smilies and such would indicate that you were serious and just making excuses, which is just par for the course with you. (lol smiley, see how that works. ) First it was the controller, then the ghosts getting in your way, and now its the TV. Can't wait to see whats bloody next mate. (done in my best Australian accent. ) Gud day mate.

The absence of any 'smilies'? Stone the crows Cargo, surely you jest. God knows then how you ever managed to understand a written conversation before 'smilies' etc were invented. Ha ha, and you have the gall to accuse me of making excuses.
I make mirth, not excuses.

However I cannot allow you to get away with the following..."Gud day mate".

You can say 'G'day mate' or 'Good day mate', I'm an Aussie, not a Kiwi (a New Zealander, from across the ditch).

And to HB Jones who said; "ditto on the surge protector. My system is attached to a UPS with built in protection. Saved my bacon a few times."

I have always understood that surge protectors are incapable of protecting against lightning strike. I think they would need to be as big as a house to do so.

I have however stopped using a ethernet (wired) connection from the router to the PS3 (using Wi Fi now) so that will prevent lightning surges from reaching the PS3 from that route at least.

My last problem here is that that TV will not accept the HDMI signal from the new PS3 now. TV still works OK as a TV though. And The HDMI cable is OK as it sends the signal from the other PS3 to the boys TV.

What I can't understand about using this new PS3 is that I have lost all my cars and money and games completed (Seasonals) however when I do a Seasonal now the blue lines and my friends are back.

Well, well, look who it is, its E-Man, the caped crusader of excuses. Anyways, glad to see you're back up and running, life was getting a little dull around here.

And as far as the bolded quote, I just spelled it out how it sounds, didn't mean to offend you. Hell, I thought a Kiwi was some kind of green fruit or something, didn't know anything about it relating to New Zealand.

As for the HDMI problem, it could just be that that port got burned out or something from the strike. I have heard of those ports getting fried before thus making the connection inoperable.

Anyways, might just have to buy a new TV, and might I suggest an 80 inch or larger, might help you in your quest to overtake me.

Seriously though, hope you get things sorted out, my life here feels so empty without you.

Hurry back mate.

EDIT: Got this for you to read over about surge suppressers and lightning strikes.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1228231

The ones (suppressers) I use actually have a guarantee to protect my equipment. I have 3 of them for all my stuff and each one cost me $95...a small price to pay, I feel, to protect my expensive toys. I have had a few close calls myself, lightning actually hit the transformer across the street once, and everything has been fine. (knock on wood) In that instance though, it did fry my roommates TV, computer, and a few other things. He was not protected. So yes, they do work, but as with everything, there is no real guarantee......except for just unplugging everything.

Again flogging the 'excuses' nonsense. You are 1.2 sec's ahead of me at the end of the Mazda race, which I started yesterday. Now I can make a small mistake during that race and be half a second or so behind my normal time. However, I can usually beat you around the 1st two corners and am pretty close right until the end.
I make no excuses for not beating you. Crikey, anyone who spends as much time here as you do, and with your experience and equipment, should do well.

But, you are not faster than me using a controller. Only when using a wheel. I have asked you previously to match yourself against me with us both using the same tool, but you didn't even reply as I recall.

With monotonous regularity I have conceded that you are faster than me (when using a wheel) but it seems that is not enough for you.
So how about we settle this like men. With our controllers in our hands.

Over to you me old China.

You know, I was going to go through and dissect your post and spell it all out for you, but I would only be repeating myself from previous posts. Its just getting old and very tiresome going back and forth with you. I will say this though, one last time. Of course you are going to be faster than me with a DS3 because that is the input device that you use the most. I haven't used one since the early days of GT5. However, using that as an excuse, which you are doing, does not fly. There are plenty of people who are faster than me using the DS3 and you could be one of them, there is no reason why you couldn't, except for your skill set. You are trying to handicap me by getting me to use a DS3 to bring myself down to your level. Nonsense. Here's a thought, why don't you get a wheel? Oh wait, I know, more excuses. You say you make no excuses for not beating me but yet you do. "But, you are not faster than me using a controller. Only when using a wheel" That looks like an excuse to me if ever I seen one, not to mention the TV excuse from yesterday.

So yea, why don't we settle this like men and you quite making excuses. If you truly had the skills, you could beat me with your DS3, people do it all the time, no reason why you can't.

I can feel myself getting worked up again so I'll stop here. If you're content using the DS3, then keep practicing, there is no reason why you can't become better. Good day mate.

 

[Dalone]

Thanks for acknowledging that I am faster than you when using controllers Cargo. That wasn't so hard was it.

You also accept that the 'input device' one is used to is very important in getting good times here, but, do not accept that changing the 'output device' should have any bearing whatsoever on ones ability to maintain their skill level, even in the short term.

I however found that changing from a 50" TV to a 32" TV initially had a huge effect on my driving ability, it was as though I was sitting twice as far away from the TV, making everything much smaller.
After a couple of days using the 32" now I find I am getting back to my previous skill level.

But, ..."So, in future, if I can't catch Cargo, it's all because I'm driving on a 32 inch TV rather than my usual 50 inch."... was a joke, I wasn't even able to access the Seasonal's then as I was starting the game all over again.

So like I said Cargo, I make mirth, not excuses, it's only you who see explanations as excuses, eg; the blue lines blocking the view. Simple, I removed some friends and so removed the blue lines blocking the track corners. It wasn't an excuse, it was something which severely hindered my view, and therefore racing ability , and so I dealt with it.

Anyway no worries mate, I certainly don't want to see you getting all worked up over it.

Used a few smilies Cargo to help you understand the gist of the conversation. See you on the track.👍

I never said it was hard to admit, I mean its pretty obvious that you are going to be better than me with the DS3 since I haven't used one in ages. What you are doing though is using the DS3 as an excuse as to why you can't beat me, or that is how you come across, and that is not an excuse. Skill set is skill set, whether it be on a controller or a wheel. You cannot handicap yourself just because you are using a controller. Like I said, there are lots of people better than me who use a DS3. And yes, my upgrades that I have made to my rig do help, but mainly with consistency, not overall lap times. The spring I added is not going to make me into an instant alien, otherwise I'd be in P1 by now. The gains in lap times are minimal, but the consistency I've noticed is pretty big. Just thought I'd explain that to you before you try using that against me.

At any rate, I guess you can sleep better now knowing that yes, you are better than me with a controller, I concede. I got to give you credit mate, you never stop looking for positives, whether it be the input device, beating me to a certain corner, or whatever else you come up with. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.

Anyway, I think we better stop this soap opera now, the children are probably getting pretty upset with us with our bantering. (Sorry gentleman, just trying to have fun here, never a dull moment I guess you could say. )

Keep practicing Dalone, there is no reason why you can't become better than me, people do it all the time. Stay fast.

P.S. Love the smilies, it adds such a personal touch.

It depends on you skill level weather you are using a DS3 or a wheel.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

It depends on you skill level weather you are using a DS3 or a wheel.

Not sure what you are saying, but hows this? Using a DS3 is no excuse for not being able to be as skilled as (extreme case) a top 10 guy, providing that is the input device that you have been using and are accustomed to. There is no real advantage (aside from the immersion part) in using one or the other. This is proven over and over again in the results of these TT's. Each device has its "pros" and "cons" which, in the end, make them equally as effective. That is all I have been trying to say here, and explain to Dalone. Its as if A. He is trying to handicap himself because he uses a DS3 or B. Say that I have an advantage because I use a wheel. Neither one holds any weight. Everyone that uses a DS3 that finishes in the top 10 is proof of that. Anyway, that's all I really feel like saying about the matter. Stay fast.

I meant to say only skill not level sorry. I have a disability it was hard using a DS3 in Time Trials that why I brought a G27 last year and I found it better than a DS3 but in Dalone case it depends on his skill using a DS3.

 

[Dalone]

We know there are a number of very skilled players who use a DS3, albeit there are far more who use a wheels of sorts.
However those very skilled ones who use a DS3 are likely to continue to use it simply because they are so used to it and changing to a wheel would be too time consuming, notwithstanding the cost involved and room required.
Like me they probably stick with the DS3 for the sheer ease and convenience of it.

But let us not pretend that a wheel does not have an advantage over a DS3.

Just try high speed sharp cornering with a controller (buttons) compared to using a wheel. The simple act of taking ones finger off the r/hand button to put it on the l/hand button can see your car lose it's line, and often, in very fast corners, run off the road or have some other calamitous ending.

And don't even mention throttle control................ I said don't even mention it!

But finally, and contrary to some of Cargo's jottings, I have no problem with wheel users at all, in fact I enjoy the challenge, underdog or not. All good here guys, cheers.

Except that when people speak about using the DS3, they almost certainly aren't talking about using digital steering and pedals. The DS3 has an analogue stick to steer, and analogue triggers for accel/brake.

Anyone not taking advantage of those hasn't got a leg to stand on complaining about wheel users.

A wheel is not an automatic pass to be fast. If you're not good before getting a wheel, you're not suddenly going to become fast with one.

Too true. However if I chose to use the buttons all those years ago so be it, that is just how it is and that is the way it will stay. I can only compare myself the way I am, the way I do it. And if you think using another method of DS3 is better, good on you because I certainly don't intend to change.

However, that being the case, I must be pretty good in your eyes as I am very close to Cargo all the way, even in front at times. I'll take your reply as a complement. Thank you. Incidentally, just improved to 1:30.010 in the Mazda for pos # 479, now just 1.1 sec's behind Cargo after 2 days of racing.

Using your logic then, I must be amazing because there are times when I am ahead of P1. I guess I should start bragging about that. I don't know why you keep using me as some kind of benchmark. I am nobody special and an average player at best. If you really want a benchmark that you can learn from and that will be of some benefit to you, pick a top 10 player, preferably one who uses a DS3.

This is what I'm talking about: "At the risk of repeating myself I have taken another 10th off, now on 1:30.010 for pos 479, 1.1 sec's behind Cargo"

Why do you continually use my times as some sort of end all, be all benchmark. You should be using P1 times, not mine. So what if you beat my time one day, what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing, that's what. Why? Because I am just an average player with average times, nothing special. If you ever expect to rise from mediocrity, you need to pick a top 10 person to use as your benchmark.....you're not doing yourself any favors by using me I'll tell you that.

Well you know the old saying about not being able to teach old dogs new tricks?
But why would this nearly 67 year old dog want to learn another way now when I am so close to Cargo using my current method? Crikey, I reckon I'm doing OK just being able to get the PS3 hooked up and the pc running.
But why not suggest to Cargo he go back to using the DS3? Why should just I be expected to change?

And Cargo said; "Why do you continually use my times as some sort of end all, be all benchmark. You should be using P1 times, not mine. So what if you beat my time one day, what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing, that's what."

I beg to differ old son. You have stated more than once that I will never ever beat you, now in my language that is a challenge, and one I have taken up.

And, Cargo again; "Using your logic then, I must be amazing because there are times when I am ahead of P1. I guess I should start bragging about that."

Ah ha, now I understand, when I state that I am often in front of you during races it is me bragging, but when you say you can sometimes be ahead of P1 it is you being modest. Just as it is you being modest when you stated I would NEVER beat you. Mmmmm.

As for, "She does find it odd though that he continually references me in a lot of his posts. She's like, "Does he have like some sort of man crush on you or something?......he seems a bit odd" Her quote, not mine. ".

Sure Cargo, I believe every word of it. No doubt then she shares your inability to decipher the English language unless coached along with smilies.
Now you two have a wonderful Easter break, you trying to keep ahead of me and her reading all that is said about her hero.

Yes, it is no secret here that old Cargo and I have history. Back in GT5 he was always boasting that I could never beat him, just as he does now in GT6.
So of course he is my benchmark. Usually we talk about racing etc however when he introduces a girlfriend into the conversation to trash talk me, eg, "She's like, "Does he have like some sort of man crush on you or something?", then I feel I have the right of reply.......in kind, mild as my reply was.

So now, after Cargo posting some cock and bull story about his phantom girlfriend suggesting I "putt from the rough" (thanks Matt), am I supposed to ignore it, accept it as just a harmless bit of fun poked at me, or retaliate?
Cargo should know better than to take cheap shots like that at me.
Then, true to his form he pulls the stumps and storms off the field. Indignantly no doubt and likely not even understanding how we reached this point.
My fault I guess, I should have used more smilies.

But fairdinkum Cargo, you had a bit of a go and so have I, that's it, done and dusted. Come on, back to the field, bowl me a googly, or as you guys would say, lets play ball!

Ok, lets gets this straight old boy and tell the story how it really happened, not how you want to say it happened in order to try and give me a black eye. Way back in GT5, you were the one that called me out, out of the blue and told me you were, and I quote, "going to give me a real ass whipping." So yea, I took exception to that and made sure I was the one giving the ass whippings. That's really how history started, so once again, nice try.

Now, about my phantom girlfriend. She is as real as they come my friend. I have even posted videos on here of her doing comercials. I don't need to prove my girlfriends existence to you and I don't take kindly to you insinuating that I am lying about her existence. Furthermore, she was not trash talking about you at all. She merely made an off the cuff remark in observance of you almost always mentioning me in your posts. She was laughing when she said it and meant it in a light-hearted way. You did not need to insult her in the way you did. Also, explain to me where she suggested that you "putt from the rough" If you are referring to the man crush thing, that is in no way a reference to anything other than admiring another man, in a manly sort of way. (That's the best way I can explain that) There is no cock and bull coming from my end, I have no reason to lie about anything, at all.

Lastly, yea, I stormed off, as you say, because, quite frankly, I'm getting tired of your bull crap. You constantly calling me out for one thing or another....its always, "cargo said this" or "cargo did this" and I'm just fed up with it. I tried to play along and have fun with you about most of it, but whenever you feel like I may have gotten the best of you, you have to play dirty and start making up crap or start taking cheap shots, such as you did here with my girlfriend. Enough is enough. This has been going on for roughly 3 years now. You offered to give me an ass whipping back then and you still haven't succeeded, and you never will. I'll make sure of it. Lets end it here. Quite mentioning my name in every 5th post of yours and you'll here nothing more from me. Deal? I haven't got time for this anymore, the Academy is coming up and I have bigger fish to fry. So, good luck in your endeavors, I'm done here.

That saying 'can't teach an old dog new tricks' should be banished into the realms of history alongside religion... My father is proof of that, 10 yrs ago he nearly dropped dead on me, heart attack, now he seemingly has a new hobby every month, as I speak he's somewhere off the coast of Scotland in an achilles 24.... he's 70.

Fair play to you for going so quick the way you're but unless you use the DS3 differently you ain't catching mich, no matter what, and you're still light years away from his times, a second isn't 'close'.

not an attack, just my opinion

It's now .6 of a second.

And great to hear about your dad, more power to him.

Someone said; "This has been going on for roughly 3 years now. You offered to give me an ass whipping back then and you still haven't succeeded, and you never will. I'll make sure of it."

Sadly, back then I never used smilies so Old mate was never able to work out that it was just a joke. For goodness sake, he was always miles in front of me back then and I never expected to get as close to him as I am these days.

Furthermore I am happy to apologise to the lady in his life, I'm sure she's an innocent pawn here. But in future if he uses her to take a cheap shot at me he can expect retaliation.

Apart from that it's just stuff we've been over before.

OK gentlemen, start your engines!

@GTP_CargoRatt and @Dalone - If you want to bitch-slap each other, do it via PM. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that nobody here cares about whatever differences you have. Airing your very petty disagreement in this way is a quite pathetic attempt to garner sympathy. It isn't working, it is off-topic and it will stop now.
