Off da border

Eh, don't remember to be honest. Google 8C spider and it's bound to show up though.

M'desktop.

Nice to hear that Mb, congratulations. Told ya determination never fails. :P

To tell you the truth I liked TheScottishSpotter's Countach image. Exactly the right amount of saturation for my preferences and he captured it at exactly the right angle to emphasize the reflections on the glass/car. And thankfully, none of the cyan-looking sky crap people here seem to love, it's an exposure artifact people, it makes the game look like San Andreas' hidden Liberty City (in other words, crap). It makes images look less photorealistic than they already are... The Lamborghini logo on the building looks out of place to be honest but the image's merits outweigh its flaws. If I were to use a new wallpaper from TDU (which, trust me, I won't) I'd probably use this. Plus, you can't go wrong with a Countach. :p

Now that's a unique way of helping, "oh why not ban him for a few hours, it's not like there's a dozen other websites he could sneak up to". :P Joking aside, good luck w/your exams mate, don't forget to tell us how it went.

I know the pain, I've got a final tomorrow as well most unfortunately. And I don't even know what the "other half of the book"'s about like it is the case every year since... ever. Just stay off the computer for as long as you could, think of it like this: just one more week to go.

Well... to tell you the truth, I've no idea how my username came to existence. I was trying to think up a quick username to re-register on GameFAQs and I instantaneously thought of snowboarding... someone crashing down a cliff and off the border (of the cliff). Then I just converted "the" to "da" to hide the fact it took me ten seconds to come up with the name. Yeah I know, you want to kill me now. :p ODB is the abbreviation. Back on GameFAQs on the prerelease NFS Most Wanted (I believe) boards some guy decided he needn't bother to type down my full username and went for the initials. Lo and behold, every single creature I know over a bunch of wires and a screen now knows me by nothing but the initials. Only a long while later on I realised those same initials also denote the unthinkable... Border is another abbreviation, but is much less common. Odb8492, my TDU ingame username, is the aforementioned abbreviation plus 8492, the designation of your antagonist squadron in Ace Combat 5, specifically from one of the toughest missions in Ace Combat history, "8492". Then there's X-49 or X49, which is essentially the designation of a prototype aircraft from the Ace Combat series (specifically Ace Combat 3). No, not the US' sorry excuse for a high-tech chopper, but the boomerang shaped fictional hypersonic plane with lasers mounted on its forehead. Oh, and sorry for bumping an old thread, felt like ranting a bit. ;)

Been wondering, what's with all the love to the Italian Independents? :P

Wha, too embarrassed to point out who he is? :p Anyway, everything edited and is "clean" now.

Okay, I've made up my mind. First picture it is. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

The ME Four Twelve. I like the car itself, it's just that it's simply intolerable in this game. It's like driving on flat tyres with a SCRAMJET engine bolted to its bottom. And the interior is horrid. Great for photo ops though. So I guess I'll go along with everyone else. It's the SSR.

I'm guessing application's open to everyone? Sorry, you gotta excuse my six months inactivity. :P

Interesting, two months ago some chap had similar plans... I was to take the F430, MartinMjb the GT if I'm not mistaken and fuelmyfire the Zonda. It never got executed though. The link to the original topic.

A few screens... -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

I'm still around chaps. I just hope we don't have to do this when the F430 ends up with a flat battery. :P
