    I know because I had this ending in my first playthrough:cool:. But I don't really want the ending where Shepard survives. I want more than endings being different only by colors of explosion. <SPOILER> Also this space magic is stupid. The Synthesis Ending is the worst written ending I have ever seen. Personally, I've chosen the Red Ending, but I had to sacrifice EDI and the Geth (I'm a Paragon). And the destrucion of Mass Relays. According to Arrival DLC the explosion would cause a supernova. And hundreds of Mass Relays exploding at the same time.... Galaxy is screwed;). Also all the species in the Sol system would just starve to death.</SPOILER> I hope that they will use Indoctrination Theory in the clarification DLC. Well, I'll better finish this off-topic:) .

    Yeah i found out, i was playing it for 6 hours, the graphics are amazing. I like how you walk down the ally and you can see your partners shadow.The face movements etc, a lot of thourght has been put into this game. I can see myself playing this game for a very long time to come, i hear there is free roaming, but you need to unlock it. I don't know to much about that i was doing a quick scan over the net for it.

    I'ver heard how good these games are, i have never bourght them or watched a LP on youtube. So i have never seen how the game looks and plays, The game discription never courght my attention, some games i never play and some games i pick up many years after they was released and think damn how could i miss this game. Company Of Heroes and its expantion packs are a good example, i like them kind of RTS games. But COH was released in 2006, 2007 something like that.

    If I have connection issues again it's gonna be really bad!

    @Kaido Parl - I love this 2011 system but I think something is wrong. I've missed two races and somehow I dropped down the tiers while MIke and Rob lead the table and they have better car than me o_O

    Ok, lets check it out then :)
    You have 59 points from 5 races - 59/5=11,8 points per race
    Mike - 82/7=11,7 points per race
    Rob - 77/7=11,0 points per race

    So everything is correct. You have raced 2 races less than them, but your average points per race is higher.
    Hopefully you can race without problems today! :)

    That was one incredible race for me today! I didn't have any connection problems. Took the pole in FI with only 0.060 seconds in front of 2nd place and 0.062 from 3rd :D I made a very good start and kept the lead. Szary was 2nd but he was dropping back. At that moment Rob overtook him and started to catch me so fast than I couldn't keep calm and span in T3. From that moment I realized that 3rd is the best I could do but Szary decided to do whole race on one set of tyres which wasn't working and I overtook him 10 laps to the end. I had Rob 10 seconds in front of me, the grip was good and I started to push harder and harder to catch him. Well I couldn't cause he was driving very good and I was making small mistakes. The only thing I could do was to eat 3 seconds from his lead. Very good driving Rob, congrats for the win. Well done to everybody who showed up! Finally I'm happy I could participate in a race after two consecutive failures.

    What a race! I had so much fun! Only a shame that there were so few of us.

    I had no wet setup (I didn't even predict that it might rain;)), so I had to modify the existing one. I had really good start. After few laps I lost the 2nd position. My strategy was to hold on my set of tires as long as possible. In the middle of the race I heard that there was going to be light rain, so I decided to stay on the track until I'll be able to pit for inters. But at the lap 27 I got a puncture and had to pit immediately. At the end of the lap I got another puncture (both were on the rear tires) so sorry for corner cutting at that lap. After that I had no chance for position better than 4th. But still, the race was really, really fun. Congratulations to Rob and podium winners. I'll upload a video tomorrow.

    Wet races and myself are not compatable lol, in qualifiying i did a run on primes but on the way into the pits i hit the barrier which bounced me to the otherside of the pit enterance smashing me into the wall and retirement from that session. The race was wet from the start and i had no setup so i made some tweaks to the dry setup and hoped it would work, but because i don't like driving in the wet i had little confidence in many corners which cost me a lot of time. It had fun trying to build my confidence up but it was aboring race as far as fighting for positions went, the good thing was i didn't finish last. The bad thing is i was miles off everyone pace in qualifiying when the track was dry, so i guess the wet track helped me out otherwise i would have finished last. If their is any parts of the replay let me know and i will upload them, other than that i won't be uploading a highlights video because it will only be about 2 minutes long as thats roughly how long it took me to have my first spin.

    Yeah! first TNC3 victory :)

    Q: For the race I planned primes primes options and I ignored the weather. Prime lap wasn't really fast, so I did my 3rd stint on options, but after S2, I had the feeling that P4 would be my result, so I overdrove the car and didn't set a time.

    R: Then I saw RAIN :mad:. First time I saw it at Barcelona, and didn't expect it so I didn't check the weather forecast. Didn't prepare for rain eather so I changed the breakbias and the gears slightly on the fly.

    Exciting opening with 0 view due to blur effect, but things went ok. Then in lap 3 I was too early on the breaks and made Mateusz do some difficult breaking and he almost lost the car. Sorry for that!
    Then a few laps later Victor lost the car in turn 3, and I had P1. Slowly increased the gap to Szary and things were looking good. Then it was all a matter of pitting halfway or trying to reach the intermediate phase. I went for the stop halfway and it was good. Fresh tyres helped me to overtake Mateusz again before he pitted, so I felt I had every scenario covered by then. By lap 28 I decided to stick to the wets and drove to my victory.

    Congratz to Victor as well. Some really fast laps in that Force India! Also congratulations to Andrzej for 3rd place![IMG][IMG]

    As I never practice for wet, I knew already in quali, that in the race I'll be doomed! :)
    Quali went good, 3rd place, but race was disaster. 2 broken front wings and countless amount of spins.
    I think my car was too low, because I had to practically stop in last chicane not to spin.
    In first lap I went too wide and drlegendlive went even wider than me and drove off road to gravel.
    As I didn't know if I made him do that (maybe with help of some lag), from my POV we didn't touch, I let him pass me.
    Congrats to Rob, you were 4 times 4th, now 3rd ant 1st place! :) Ant to other podium guys also!
    Results and cars are updated too.

    Six people in the Saturday league, seven here, doesn't look good...
    Today, qualifying was more exciting than the race for me:/ Not prepared for wet, as usual, the first two laps were a disaster with a trip deep into the gravel on each. Afterwards, it was the usual wet drive for me - slow, inconsistent, with lots of mistakes, and with no one around to make things exciting.

    That wasn't a good expression. I meant that I adjusted the brakes in the garage to a value while I didn't know it would be a good value.

    Sorry for that bump at lap 1 at turn 10. It was very slippery there and I almost lost the car. Also, the vid will be up around 2 p.m. (GMT+2). The uploading stalled during the night.

    @Kaido Parl - now I don't understand. Both me and Rob have same average result. Did you put me in front of him because I have less races?

    Your average is still higher.
    Me:102/8=12.75
    You:77/6=12.83
    You could argue though that you joined both races and due to connection issues you couldn't finish them, so you actually deserved 0 points for Turkey and 2 points for Abu Dhabi, giving you an average of 79/8=9.9

    No problem. Very slippery indeed there.
