    Something I found interesting the other night. I got paired up with Ms5000Watts in Warframe (who was a top streamer in Destiny Trials kind of like what I did). She was streaming in Warframe and hasn't put out a Destiny Video in over a month which is suicide for a youtuber. Funny thing is... She's married to a guy that works for Bungie.

    Inside car view of the same race that I posted earlier between my friend and I.

    We make it a point to keep it clean with no crashing.

    I beat him by .03 secs

    Lol... Every sports car I've ever owned has been a manual. I find no correlation between buttons on a controller and a shifter. Now... If I had a wheel I'd play manual no doubt. But if you'd like to try on your track of choice I'm game with whatever car you chose ;)

    You’re a lot smoother and more fluid with your racing when you’re not chasing someone. Once you got ahead of him your braking was a lot less jerky. I don’t know if I’d be so lenient. If ya brake early and get a little tap, sorry bout that but bump to pass!

    Or.... If I'm running in auto I can still shift manual. Little trick I learned ;)

    Yeah... See we try not to do that. I can't control when he brakes so I just have to adjust my braking until I get a chance to pass. We do our best not to run into each other. We've had some spectacular crashes because one of us fucks up so we just restart the race and make it as clean as possible. Bump to pass in real life (excluding NASCAR) would get you a pit lane penalty.

    I really want to try it. From the pics you’ve posted it looks really good. I guess I could try it. I’d be playing with a normal controller though.

    I think I remember her from random YouTube videos I used watch a while back. Depending on what the guy did, that would be really interesting to be a top streamer in that game with your husband working there.

    If you're not playing with a Scuf controller in Warframe it would be hard. Not impossible but hard.

    This is her youtube channel. She hasn't put out a Destiny video in over 2 months. My bad. She used to stream every weekend in Trials and put up videos all the time. Funny that she isn't doing any Destiny content now and she's married to a guy that works at Bungie. Seems a little telling that she would be streaming Warframe?

    The thing with Warframe is it is a true MMO. You pretty much have to have a previous MMO background to understand the ins and outs of this game. I played MMO's for over 10 years so this game suits me just fine. I love all the nuances in the game. But there is a HUGE learning curve so it isn't for everyone. You really have to want to play the game. But once you give it a chance and a few weeks of studying the game it gets its hooks in you and you can't wait to log in and play. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

    I don’t mean slam into the ass end of the other racer and I generally try to avoid such spectacular instances but if I’m racing and someone brakes a we earlier than where I would, I have no issue giving a little nudge. I do try to avoid it though and anticipate where they’ll be pointing to see if I can sneak outside or inside with a little late or early braking

    Same here. He and I are pretty damn close in skill level on almost every track with the exception of the Nurburgring. So I can anticipate when he is going to brake just by listening to his car.

    6:15 min run in the Porsche 911 RSR. There just isn't much that can beat it in that class.

    God damn ring is a challenge in itself for sure. I like Sarthe and Laguna Seca as tracks.

    Dammit, I need to fire up GT again and get back into it

    You only have 73 corners to memorize and all the off camber bumps. Not to mention the Carousel and what speed to take it at and the smaller Carousel toward the end that pushes you out toward the edge of the track if you hit it just right.

    I’m sure if I make as many runs at it as you have I’ll be comparable.

    Now, let’s talk Monaco...that would be a fun and challenging race

    Oooof Monaco... That's a tight course. Unfortunately it isn't in GT sport. I do love hearing the engine in the tunnel though.

    I love Monaco and too bad it’s not in Sport! That course is a wicked challenge. I recall spending hours on it to get my super license in the old toyota GT-One

    I just wish they would put the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR in GT Sport. That is my favorite car of all time.

    No doubt. I love that track. You want a challenge? That's the track you're looking for.
