You know you've played too much when...

....when you play rivals mode for over 8 hours straight, stay up too late, and cant sleep because you are too wound up from how intense the battles can be.

That happened to me Sunday night. :embarrassed:
 
When you walk around your house imagining a racing line and walking accordingly :S

Also when you control your throttle when you wear socks on tiles :lol:
 
When I bike home from school, there are these sloped curbs instead of the 85 degree mini-walls, and tire marks on the road.

...You use the the skid marks to gauge when to brake, then use the outer and inner curbs to take the fastest line.

...When you tap your foot to keep the beat in band, and end up screwing yourself over trying to heel and toe! :lol:

Sad thing is, both of these have happened to me recently.

...Also, you treat the roads around your house as a passing challenge, honestly with the dumb stuff I've seen people do on the roads, it's not that far off from the AI's acts.
 
...your daydreaming fiancée catches herself looking at cars in traffic thinking, "wow, Forza does a really great job with that lighting," from watching you play so much.
 
...when you're scared to brake in your real car in-case M.Rossi is behind you.
 
...when you screw up parking and start searching for the rewind button.

...when you go to the Ferrari dealer and expect to see a Testarossa, a 288 GTO, a F40 and an Enzo availible to buy.
 
This thread is great haha! When you're ecstatic about getting surgery because you get to miss work and play Forza, even though you're in extreme pain!
 
LOL; this thread is great!

Unfortunately, I haven't had more than a three hour block to play yet, so I can't claim to have spent too much time in any one sitting; but back in the Forza 3 days, I used to spend a lot of my time racing a friend in VW Bora's; his always white. Every time I saw a white or cream Jetta on the road, my adreniline would shoot up and I would HAVE to pass them - even if it involved driving several kilometers out of my way to do so.
 
When I just spent what, MYR50 or more renting and playing it... In fact I just played it about an hour ago. That costed me MYR8 an hour!
 
What is MYR50 or MYR8? I'm assuming currency !

Would it not be cheaper buying the game?

It is a currency mate. MYR is actually Malaysian Ringgit ;)

Well, the thing is though I don't have an XBOX 360 and couldn't afford one at the moment. So that's why if I want to play, I just rent the XBOX and the game for MYR8 per hour. There's no difference at all either if I buy the game but rent the XBOX...

What a life...

Yeah thats not so good !

They must make a fortune on that - you would think they would offer 24hrs at a reasonable rate rather than a lot per hour !

They don't, really. The price of the game is approximately MYR100 (yes, games here is very the very expensive!) and by renting it with the XBOX, together MYR8. Usually people will play around 1 and a half hour or sometimes up to 3 hours. One of the employee at the shop is my friend, and he told me they actually make little money from it. It's not worth it for them but for the sake of getting customers to the shop, they let us rent it.

If they have paid for the consoles outright surely any money they make above the cost of the console itself is profit !

I know why you obviously want to rent it but if it was me i'd rather save up all that renting money and buy my own console !

But before that, I tell you the 250GB costs about MYR1500-2000! :crazy:

The game is as I said, about MYR100 and just imagine how much I'd have to spend.

True though, buying your own console is much better. Plus, you have your own privacy. I'm currently saving up for a PS3, but it doesn't surprise me if I'm getting an XBOX at the same time as well... The racing in FM4 is pretty impressive!

Wow ! Thats crazy ! Why are they so expensive?

Simple, it's all because of excessive tax... Everywhere you go, whatever you do, it's all tax. Everything that comes to Malaysia will have a tax. That's why these stuff are expensive. And Malaysia is such a tax country!

Anyway, let's get back on topic because we have strayed waay too far :lol:
 
Sorry to hear about your problems, Xboxes are relatively cheap over here.

Anyway, you know you've played FM4 too long when you can hear the bubbly sample used for the loading screen playing in your head whenever you get a quiet moment.

I am very confused - MYR100 is about $35 bucks - half of what I paid for the game - and yet the console runs in the vicinity of $500?!? Insane!

It's owkey mate, some say that be patient and it will come soon :)
