I was debating wether just to make it EvE Online to get some more of you buggers playing, but you're just not spoddy enough.

So it's Ridge Racer 6, as planned.

Of course if you want to come along and play EvE as well, that's gonna get you SheePoints. Yeees.

Ridge Racer 6 is stupidly cheap, so go buy your copy now!

Chances of me playing a subscription game with no real goal <= 0%.

Chances of me playing Ridge Racer > 75%

What would negative percentage of playing something mean? Would it mean you are actively preventing others from playing the game?

Isn't that what most people playing EvE do anyway?

Count me in (for the RR6 action not the configuring your mining scoops to increase the amount of Strontium harvested in sector g12 "action").

When is it again?

I wish to sign up, although like Prey this has been sitting on my shelf with barely any play (less than Prey, in fact).

This did have a poll. 3 games kept finishing 2nd or 3rd, so we decided to play them.

obscure poll should be for winners. Be honest Im struggling to think of what of me games would be new to the poll. Every one buy warlords.
Actually Ive got right back in Team Fortress 2 if anyone fancies it, on the 360 funsquare mind.

Consider it the obscure poll Champions League, where they've decided to let a few of the runners up in as well.

You should dredge the old thread out of the depths, as I'd be up for this. I need to get 10,000 kills. ;)

I'd imagine the poll will be running for the following week.

I'm glad I don't have this game, as Monday is our league title decider in our 6-a-side footy league. I'm not sure we've ever finished in the top half before, so to be one point off top with one game to play (against the league leaders) is a novel and scary position to be in.

Given today, chances are about 35.427% of me being there.

Generally sorry about that. I refer you to my earlier comment about spending most of the day in hospital.

Managed to get me a lovely head injury, and am consequently feeling achey, woozy, and a later al bit bleedy. Which would be the point I disappeared the first time.

I doubt it.

Me, being me, wouldn't have gone to hospital if I weren't. Two cuts not quite big enough for stitches, but large enough for those white sticky things that behave like stitches*.

It hurts like buggery right now though.

Yes indeedy. Proof yet again (as if more proof were actually needed) that Trousers is disgustingly good at everything.

Yeah I enjoyed that cheers and would qualify my decent display with the fact that I have played RR6 World Explorer to about 96% completion so I have played it a lot

Was really fucked off neither of my headsets would work with either of my controllers as I wanted to shout "What the FUCK?" when I piled into Mr Dave's arse at about a gabillion miles an hour on the final lap of some race or other.

The unlimited Nitrous race was funny in that I went for full on level 3 nitrous for the first lap and as a consequence couldn't see fuck all thanks to the screen effects then I ended up just pressing the nitrous button and not the accelerator and wondering why I wasn't moving and laughing a lot at my own shitness.

Would have played for much longer as well but was getting grief as I'd told her I was up at 5:30am this morning like an idiot.

See: Mario Kart Wii, Ikaruga & 1942 XBLA for contradictory evidence. There's probably a few others you are well ahead of me on as well but there the one's I can think of off the top of my head.

I probably wasn't there, as I don't remember any forceful bumming at any point of the night.

You weren't, it was the one on the long circuit where you decided the best parking place involved the words "Racing" and "Line" :)

Well, the only one I would've been there for was the one where I had just dropped to second place after having been in the lead for most of the first lap, and then found I'd started bleeding again (Good timing, head). I didn't exactly park up, more left my controller while I went running for the nearest first aid kit. (Upstairs bathroom, fact fans)

Sounds about right, you chose an excellent place on the racing line just round a narrow blind corner out of a tunnel.
