It's the kind of tune that makes you go YES, THE RACING! Something that ITV failed to do with F1 and BTCC over the years.

If there is anyone that does good production for motorsport, it's the Aussies.

Nicky, there was at least Half a BTCC season with "eye for an eye" by UNKLE as the intro music, but for some reason they changed it, they have no taste.

by nickyf1 Sun 19 Feb 2012 - 1:31

I didn't even notice..

The one they use just now is utter [Censored] though.

Ah, how we long for the days when the BTCC was as big in the UK as the Aussie V8's are in Australia..

Well, F1 has been ruined for ever.

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

That's Indycar mate. The winner of the Indy 500 gets a bottle of milk.

I got this on my iPod yesterday... GTA3.. It's like I never left it, that's how fondly I look back upon this game!

2nd best GTA game out of all of them!

I hope that GTA will do a something similar to Halo Anniversary re-releasing one of the classics with the up to date graphics!

It is one of the best ports I have ever played. Really well done by Rockstar.

by nickyf1 Wed 22 Feb 2012 - 15:18

I was admittedly playing this in Uni today.. Passing it around between coursemates, just like everyone used to do with the PS2 controller... Awesome fun.

And it's okay, it was a lecture about how to make a poster (i.e, not important)

You can buy San Andreas on XBL as part of the ''XBox Originals'' thingy, it's been there for ages! 1200 MSP I believe.

"Quantum Levitation"????

More like "MagLev" (magnetic levitation)....which has been around for ages.

by nickyf1 Mon 27 Feb 2012 - 18:31

Nope, it differs from the sort of MagLev that's used on trains. Remember, with MagLev, the trains are on fixed rails, and can't move within the magnetic field. With quantum levitation, you can see that the user can control the vehicles translation across the top of the magnetic field. Those vehicles are in fact dressed up superconductors!

This video shows whats going on. Totally different to regular MagLev.

by lfcnicklfc Mon 27 Feb 2012 - 18:39

It's not quantum levitation it's magic Very Happy

by nickyf1 Mon 27 Feb 2012 - 18:44

Well, it is said that some of today's technology can actually be considered magic!

It's all about harnessing the forces and energy that exist around us.
