RD at already out our Party Palace up in the depths of the German countryside.. We have lots of beer, incredibly rich German food and plenty of tech to keep us entertained... looking forward to the big event starting tomorrow!

So this is where our membership money goes? ;):D You guys have a great time ya hear. And Paul, see if you can find out about the TT game and GTR3. Oh and remember, German Beer is pish. It gives you a hangover without the fun.

Lol if only man!!

TT game sure, will have a look see if they attend (although I don't think they will tbh). GTR3 / Simbin won't be in attendance unfortunately, however I've recently been talking with them about GTR3 and I've seen some very nice footage that I can't talk about or share! Needless to say development is racing along and looking good, just not something they are willing to share with the public at this stage (which I think is a mistake, but it aint my call obviously).

I'm going to push for some more public info to be released on GTR3, so keep an eye out on RD for it (hopefully) in the near future..

This could present a problem -

OK Paul. I feel sorry for you drinking that German watered down lager though.

But carry on, it's better than a hot poker up the ass. :laugh:

Would be great to experience, see all the gear and soak up the atmosphere.
Hope you all have an enjoyable time.

Look forward to your coverage coming.
 
Is German food really rich? I honestly do not know.

Of course, as an American, my opinions on what would qualify a food as being "rich" ate probably skewed! :confused:
