It say's it takes about 20 minutes to install! I can install Windows 7 faster than that! I'm gonna run to the store and get stock up on some four lokos and then heat up my leftover pizza.

It's a pretty dangerous drink, blackout ina can they call it. An energy drink and alcohol mixed together we've recently learned is a bad combo for the brain. This would also include the popular red bull and vodka mix drink people ordered at bars. It can contain up to 12% alcohol in a big ass can and you're usually fucked up by the end of the first one.
Jason Chen recently did a live blog of himself while drinking one can of it, you can read it here. He gets pretty fucked up on one can.

man, the vw bus special race is super aggravating.
I want to buy a Accord Euro R, just need to find it in the used dealer
so far, from the honda family, got myself an S2000 Type V, Civic Type R '08, and EG Civic SiR

Ok here's a tip for you west coasters. Once you reach level 1 (you'll know when you do) exit out of spec a or spec b and you'll unlock the go kart racing. Then go to special events and do the go karts. you get 1000xp points (which is a lot when first starting out) and 12,000cr for each win. It's really easy way to jump up two or three levels make a bunch of Cr in just two races.

I dont want to get beat but why no thread for NFS Hot Pursuit?
Crap, which game i want.
Im the same way. 
Crap, which game i want.
Im kind of wondering what my attention span is going to be for this game. I mean, its changed considerably in the past.. oh, 8 years. I had a lot of patience for 1, 2, and 3. I didn't really play a hell of a lot of 4, compared to the others.
After not having played in a long long while, I tried GT5P the other day - it held my attention for about, 10 minutes.

I think the reason why is that GT5 probably didn't introduce anything new to the series. *Please disregard my biased assumption if you don't agree because I don't even have the game.
But any ways, GT4 had nothing new to the series. It was basically the same as GT3 but with better graphics and more cars. I owned and played all of the series and didn't see anything that could catch my attention when I played GT4. So I'm assuming it is happening with GT5. The one thing I think that can save GT5 is the online experience. That right there would be the reason why I would enjoy GT5.....if I had it. Other wise, single player would be pretty close to what GT4 had.

Happy GT5 Day guys!!! What was the list of stuff that was supposed to happen before this game came out? We're still here so the world didn't end. I don't think Mizouse got laid. Anything else?

Going out to get it in about 2 hours.
Blocked my calendar so that no one books a meeting request.
But, I can't play it tonight.

Just got back from best buy with my copy. Can't wait to get off to play this, its been 5 years in the making. I bought my PS3 mostly because of this game alone.

A little unimpressed by the graphics. The tracks and cars look nice but the shadows are seriously low res as are the dust clouds. The shadows look like something carried over from GT1 all blocky and 8 bit looking.
