It's quite fun once you get the hang of it JitteryDragon. I can say with confidence that it's going to help my real life driving. Case in point, I hired out a go-kart at the local track back in 2007. To say the least, I suffered the fate of many characters in your vids. But then in February 2008 I started this, and later on I went back to have another crack. Bam, it was amazing how much I had changed. I was taking corners flat-out that I would have lifted off for before, and I even corrected a slide...
It's a nice relaxation tool as well... well, for me at least. When I'm down, I just take the rFactor F12009 mod around Suzuka and all my troubles melt away...
Anyway, as well as driving in these games, I write about 'em too. I'm on the RaceDepartment media team, writing reviews on new mods and games. I recently did a review on Race On, the newest expansion for RACE 07.
Clicky
And I've also written reviews on mods. Here's one I wrote about the Endurance Series mod for rFactor:
Me too
As it happens, I also write race reports for a league I'm involved in.
And me three
I gotta say, it's kinda weird writing about yourself in the third person.

LBT Fanfiction / Land Before Time: Twilight Valley
« on: October 19, 2009, 04:49:09 AM »
Can't really say anything that Caustizer hasn't already said. The Fast-runner being mutilated was rather graphic, but nothing I couldn't handle.
The only quibbles I have with this chapter, and the story in general, are these:
-"On it" doesn't really sound like something Pterano would say... :unsure:
-Could be wrong here if I haven't read into the story enough, but over the course of Twilight Valley, it's seemed to me that most of your own characters haven't been given a proper introduction; it's like they're just "there" and they're somehow involved in the story. In the past it's had me saying "Wait, who's this guy again?" Of course, I probably haven't been paying enough attention...
I seriously love where you're going with this. I've read every single chapter, and can't wait for the next one.
Keep writing...

Cheers guys... 
I've gotten Chapter 3 Part 1 down (yep, it's a two-parter) and I'm about halfway through typing it up. But with the school week and another of my league races coming it remains to be seen whether I'll get any of it done tomorrow.:
I'll keep yaz posted.

Just out of curiosity, what LBT fanfic(s) did you read that got you reinterested in the series?
Yipe, there's so many... Twilight Valley, Faraway Home, the Revenge series, Reality Flux, The Eternal Bond... the list goes on and on.

Gamers Zone / rFactor and Other Racing Sims
« on: October 18, 2009, 03:28:17 AM »
Yep, I do simracing. Almost religiously.
If you're not familiar with these games, they're basically PC games that provide quite possibly the most accurate commercially-available simulation of how cars drive. They aren't fully realistic but they're almost too close for comfort.
These games - mainly rFactor - live through their mods. There are huge communities everywhere dedicated to creating addon cars and tracks for these games, and hosting online events using them.
My current sim games that I own are:
Image Space Incoporated's rFactor, loaded to the brim with mods
SimBin's RACE 07 - The Official WTCC Game, the official game of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, and its expansion packs (also loaded with mods
)
...And that's about it.
I race in many leagues (online championships) using these games. Some of the leagues make video recaps of the races, some of which you can see me in. They weren't my best races, but they were the only ones that featured me in any length. These two are from the RaceDepartment Super Touring League, which uses fictional, but no less challenging, cars.
They are located here: Clicky (Look for "Gardiner"... I spin, thus losing a good position
)
And here: Clicky (I appear near the end of the video; again, look for "Gardiner")
Well, that's it for now. I may post some of my reviewing work for simracing sites later on.

The Party Room / Are you Profoundly Disturbing
« on: October 18, 2009, 02:49:26 AM »
You Are Disturbingly Profound
You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.
Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.
Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.
No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them.
Interesting... :blink:

LBT Fanfiction / In The Name of Science
« on: October 17, 2009, 09:37:26 PM »
Yep, this is one of the main reasons I joined. 
I had had the idea for this story for ages before I sat down to write it. I first got the idea from an old PC game I used to have, Primal Prey. It was a hunting simulation in which you go back in time and hunt dinos for cash. In hindsight it wasn't that good a game , but the core themes of hunting and time travel were great food for thought.
I was sitting around one day and suddenly said to myself "Hey... this situation could be applied to LBT...!" And, as strange as it sounds, the premise was the base for this - my first fan fic to be shown to the world. Chapters 1 and 2 are here:
Clicky
And Clicky again
And Chapter 3 is in the works. Enjoy...

Well, where to start...?
Basics I guess - I'm Rhys. Born, raised and live in Perth, Western Australia, all 15-and-three-quarters years of my life. I enjoy reading, writing, gaming and most of all motor racing (if you hadn't already guessed that by seeing my sig and avatar).
Some of you may have seen me on fanfiction.net, where I suppose my LBT interest was rekindled. I used to love these films when I was younger, and since discovering the fan fiction archives I'm right back into it. I found this place through the Wiki, snooped around for a while, and tonight I thought, what the hey, might as well join up.
So, here I am. This site's going to be my chillout zone, to take a break from my main hobbies, which are:
-Online virtual racing
-Writing reviews on racing games and mods for RaceDepartment (huge simracing site and community)
-And (regrettably) schoolwork. *sigh*...
Feel free to call me by my forum name, any derivative of it... or just plain Rhys. Looking forward to posting up new chapters of my fic and getting to know you all, and having a bit of fun...
