  2. How's that beer belly doing for you?

  3. I think the reason for picking it is because the question was "what console/consoles do you have?"
  4. Auto-Mod For Sale/Wanted topics are no longer allowed in New Members Chat. If you wish to post a For Sale/Wanted topic on Trials-Forum you need to read and follow this - http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ounce&f=13&id=3 Topic Closed.
  5. Yep, i like that one too. The filming is great and the song in the opening credits has a bass sweep that excites my sub and makes my entire room shakes.... really gets me in the mood.
  6. The collective was pretty good. Roam was better. Monkey style 2 had it's moments and the new world disorder series is on like film 10 or something now so plenty there to browse.
  7. Fine, poll amended due to fussy bastards. Anything left off is either shit or before 90% of the forums users were born so omitted from the list.
  8. Yeah, but a game has to be optimised to make it intuitive to play. You need to hold your brake for most moves so that would be applied automatically. To someone who knows what they're doing and not just some bunch of kids nitpicking over every little thing thinking they know how to make a good computer game it would be very feasible. I mean, where is the button to pull the brake in dave mirra when you're doing tricks... oh wait, it's applied automatically. The controls are do-able, the concept is pretty good, the sport is unique and hasn't been done on a large scale game before. Given some decent input from knowledgeable riders and making it how trials ought to be, not how 90% of people do a street ride these days it'd be a good game. No doubt about it. Unfortunately most people are so wrapped up in thinking about things on a small scale like having individual buttons for brakes and controlling every little movement with a separate button and about how trials is ONLY about going an extra inch higher than you last did further down your wall that they can't seem to grasp that things need simplifying in order to make it feasible.
  9. Not very nice, and don't use loads of blank space between lines. It's a pause..... use dot's. Now you're suspended you can spend more time on ebay or pinkbike.com
  10. Yep, that's why i feel i can comment on it. The storyline was shit, the graphics were a little odd but quite modern and the gameplay itself was great although very repetitive. Introducing a levelling system and upgrades would solve the repetition and having a career based storyline of going from small town punk to worldwide fame and fortune, while not being original, would be far better than some people who collect briefcases and shit.
  11. But you wouldn't make it all a TGS street ride would you? Courses, checkpoints, time limits. Suggesting to make a game where you have to ride around a city in the style of Skate/Skate 2 doing TGS moves in front of pre-pubescants with Fisheye lenses would be so mind numbingly boring it'd be unreal. However, making the controls simple to pick up and the objectives/courses overly exagerated would make it far more appealing to the masses and ultimately more profitable. You wouldn't be worrying about getting an extra stat point to give you one more cm it'd be like getting a foot higher. Leaping across rooftops on a bike and flying from rail to rail would be a feasible scenario. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  12. Well no, the fundamentals are all there. Constant progression curve, massive customisation options, rankings, online leaderboards, time based scoring. All of the most addictive points of the best selling games are included so with a bit of ingenuity and some forethought on how to make the controls natural and very easy to just pick up and play it would be a challenging game for everyone.
  13. No it'd be more like cameras angles with the right stick, body horizontal position with the left stick, press x to hop into sidehop position, hold right trigger to charge preload then hit A to release. If they can make a fluid and fast paced free-running game they can make a trials game.
  14. F*%^ off, you f&%$$^% w*&$^%* I personally am going to jump on the 'nice frame, mis-mash parts let the overall bike look down' bandwagon (that's not an insult for those stupid enough to think it is).
  15. Epson printers can be had for around £25-30 and the inks can be bought as aftermarket cartridges for around £8 for a whole set. When i last looked into it the epson re-fills were the cheapest but that may have changed as that was nearly 2 years ago now i think. Canon inks are expensive... tesco's is usually pretty good for printer prices and their own tesco brand cartridges for each printer.
  16. You said the problem is that it only needs a single click to do it. Why do you assume that's a problem for everyone? What if everyone else didn't scroll down a page with their cursor over the vote button while struggling to stop their fat fingers from clicking randomly and it's only a select few. Adding another button to click would be annoying for a lot of people. At the end of the day you can never please everyone and the new system is getting people in faster than the old one did. If your a tit in the main forum, you go back in NMC. Sorry that you're one of the few who doesn't like it but.... meh.
  17. Well that depends on your viewpoint. Powerballs and weights both describe themselves as being for muscle gain and improving fitness. So it's only your opinion that's limiting you to seeing it as being a gimmicky toy. If you get a powerball and see how fast you can go for a solid 2 minutes you'll notice your arms aching the next day. That's having an effect on your muscles and if you keep at it continuously you'll increase in strength and technique. If someone was going to use it as a muscle training device, that's what it is. Just becuase you use it for messing around with mates doesn't mean everyone will.
  18. I'm not assuming anything, you're kicking up a fuss about the validation system being flawed and ended your post with something like "if you vote for them it's you're own fault" (i'm not 100% sure what you meant as it reads a bit weird). You even said Blaming him for what? That he hasn't asked you if you like how he runs his forum? We can see how it's going from behind the scenes.
  19. You're on 100% warn and the last was added January 10th. I think you had someone being nice as you should have been perma-banned instead of just sent back here. If you want to kick up a fuss though we can do it properly for you?
  20. It was on a wet night. 15 Minutes was enough for it to be touch dry between coats. Certainly different from the other suggestions in the thread of spraying at night before bed then leaving overnight before sanding. Christ, i'd have take a week minimum.
  21. I didn't even take my time doing mine. Didn't leave it to dry between coats for more than 15 mins at a time and the whole process from primer to lacquer took about 3 hours. 6 hours to dismantle, spray and re-assemble. Then it went in the car to go for a ride. It's a trials bike, it'll get battered and scratched. Mines starting to look a bit tatty now (over a year later) and it's had bricks thrown at it for christs sake. For the sake of some wilko's £3 primer and a £5 can of spray it's a perfect job for a trials bike.
  22. That can be said for any training equipment though. Dumbells would be as little use if you again didn't use them properly and only got them out when your mates came over to see who could lift the heaviest weight. Yet if used properly they are the most effective and simple way of building body mass and strength. Heck the same principle could apply to anything, using a computer as a paperweight is rather pointless, using a car as a doorstop, using a bus to block the light from the lounge window at night instead of using curtains.
  23. The tesco deals are very good. They quite often do bulk discounts and reductions for things say if you spend over £10 on fresh meat they give you a 20% reduction on it etc. £2 per pack of 3 chicken breasts, £10 on those and you've got 15 chicken breasts for £8. Thats chicken breasts for half the week for all 4 of you for just £8. Dice it up and you can add it to the 86p jars of sweet and sour sauce (you'll need two jars for 4 people) and add it to rice, which is cheap as hell anyway and you've got a meal for 4 thats worked out at around £3-4 to make. £120 is a MASSIVE budget for one week, even for four of you. If you were careful with what you bought you could probably halve it and feed all for for over a week at a time. EDIT: Assuming you have a bare kitchen, i've got most of it for 2 weeks minus a few little bits like milk butter and bread. I still think asda is the cheapest, although there isn't one nearby for me Shhhhhh you!
