I was a little apprehensive of this movie. The trailer on TV really didn't say anything about it, and it just looked cheesy with The Rock drives on a football field with his car...just didn't look appealing to me.

NEW FAVOURITE CAR!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's so big I needed to use caps. Bought myself a Ferrari 430 Scuderia last week, had time/money to put into upgrading, and wow, what a car. I thought it was good enough stock, but once you start shedding weight and adding horsepower/grip, it's a complete beast. Best car in my garage so far by a long shot, and my new favourite car. This will be the most frequently viewed angle by most

Gran Turismo 5’s Social Network Comes to Your Browser The web-based portion of Gran Turismo 5’s social networking features revealed at TGS 2010 have been quietly launched on Polyphony Digital’s official Japanese and Hong Kong websites. Fortunately, the Hong Kong site is entirely in English and is fully compatible with all PSN accounts from around the world – sign in here to give it a try. You can view your in-game profile, stats, message board, logs, shared photos, shared tracks, and those of all your friends – just as you see you in GT5’s Community section. You can also read and send in-game mail from the comfort of your computer keyboard. So far, it appears to work very well, though the ability to control B-Spec races is still absent (for now). ch-ch-check it out

Now its orginal and yours, and the artists didnt have to search! I've got a few cool pictures exported to my XMB but I keep forgetting to do anything with them.

I don't have a sig, nor do I possess any real computer capable of creating one myself (netbooks and HTPC's aren't exactly ideal for graphic design). I'd preferably like one with a racing theme, showing my name and mXm badge. Cars to include could be any of the following: Dodge Viper, Chevy Corvette or Camaro, Dodge Charder, Pontiac GTO. Anything oldschool and powerful would suit my liking just fine. I know you say you don't want to have to go searching for the pictures, but honestly, I think you can find pictures on Google images of cars that can fit your artistic vision better then if I just provide a couple pictures and you trying to fit that into your view.

I like it, but not as much as I like the first one. The new one just seems a bit plain to me. And am I missing something, or are the two pictures uploaded the same? Edit: I know why it seems plain. How about this same design but keep the "X" as red? It looks better with more colours in there. Also, I like the "gaming" part in there too. Just adds to the contrast in colour.

[quote name='BalzOnYer4Head' timestamp='1291613527' post='590'] Don't feel bad, I didnt have it either! I only had a silver on that challenge and realized you needed gold! I did it in about three attempts though. Chicago, Hammerhead, and the second to last turns are your passing zones. I had silver as well. 0.4 seconds from Gold. I was wondering why I didn't have the track in Arcade Mode, or even in Practice mode. I noticed those passing zones too. You can usually pass 2 cars each corner, so that should put you in 1st at the end of the race if you keep doing that consistently.

I love the idea! Cant wait to get started. I need the track though, so that's task 1 tomorrow.

Is this an A-Spec or B-Spec race? Nevermind...I'm an idiot.

Ugh...sounds like a fucking hell of a race. Not exactly looking forward to this. If you get this technique to work, let us know Balz.

Ferrara needs to go, straight and simple. He doesn't belong there. He's not funny, he's just annoying to watch, IMO.

Honestly, I like it. It's not over the top, it's simple, and I love the colours. The 'M's are a little obscure though. I didn't realize they were there until I read the explanation, although I kind of like it like that. Logos aren't always supposed to go out and show every bit of information about what it represents.

I haven't been able to fire up GT5 online quite yet, so I've been unable to recruit. It's a bit hard to get online these days, but I think once I start Christmas vacation I'll be able to get on a little more (hopefully, pending wife's approval).

They've started an American version of the show on the History Channel (don't ask why). I've seen the 2 episodes so far, and while it's not bad, it's just not the same. I'm sure it'll take some time though.

I work Monday-Friday, getting home at 5:30pm EST. The little man has sort of an erratic sleeping schedule right now, so I usually get about an hour or two per night to be able to fire up the PS3, although playing online is getting harder since I never know when he'll wake up from a nap. The wife has 2 shows per week that are a must-see, so I go to the other room to get some PS3 time in, so those are almost guaranteed game hours, Tuesday nights from 8-10. Right now I'm mostly only playing GT5.
