Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Killer, you should delete one of those rentals that have filled up your hard drive - then borrow it from JDizzle for about 10 minutes ;)

Re: Forza?

I got Forza today. I\'m already liking it.

There\'s a ton of cars and tracks. The graphics are satisfactory. It has XBL support. And it is challenging.

I particularly like racing the \"ghosts\" in single-player mode as I am trying to better my times.

Re: Forza?

How do you like losing, er playing multiplayer?  lol, I think both of us could give Convict a run for his money in the \"grass cutting\" business!

FYI - if you guys ever want to have a less than serious good time, play a downhill, point-to-point mountain race with an S-class or better car.  Make sure damage is only cosmetic, otherwise your car will barely run after the first few turns.  Rap and I did this yesterday and it was pretty hilarious.  Rap was using the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve (R-class?) and I forget the name of my car, but it is an 850 hp, 5000lb. beast.  The course had 40 turns probably and I think I left paint on the wall of every one of them!  It was redonkulous ;D

Midnight blew us off all day.

That down hill race was a lot of fun. I\'d like to do it again in a lower class. I felt like a pinball when I was using that Chrysler.

I got that Chrysler up to 244 MPH on an oval yesterday. FoulBreed was behind me drafting. He was gaining on me before I hit the turn. His car wouldn\'t normally go that fast. It was neat to see that the game is actually calculating fluid dynamics.

For the record, FB got owned the first 3 or 4 races of the day. Once he saw I was a leet driver, he took me to all these weird courses that I had never played. Weak. Lame.

I think I\'ve got Bullet talked into purchasing the game. I think I can get datadog and Daremo to follow. I think theRev and Insane ought to join up.

I\'m hurt, FB. What you saw as me being online was my drivatar working overtime while I was at a neighborhood social event. I got back on when it was done (about 10:30PM CST), but you two were long gone.

Re: Forza?

Dame, my bad dude. :-[ I figured you were just being \"goal oriented\", haha just kidding. I half-figured you left your box online at least part of the time. You were sorely missed and I will do my best not to be so hasty to jump to conclusions.

Re: Forza?

Had a good time last night with you guys on Forza.

Re: Forza?

I had fun as well.

rapture's picture

Re: Forza?

Yep, I enjoyed it also.

I need to work on my 270-degree turns in a 600hp car.

Something is up with my XBL voice chat in Forza. I run all XBL output through my stereo and then my headphone (just like I do in Halo2). I can barely hear you guys talking. It is next to impossible to hear someone talk during a race. I\'ve turned down all the sounds in the option menu so that when I race I don\'t hear anything, but the voice chat is still low in volume. Also, I like hearing the tires and engine as I think they help me drive better.

Of the 4 or 5 different drives we\'ve met in the pubs, they seem pretty mature. I like not having to deal with the racial/social slurs and childish smack talk.

I\'ll be up for playing more Forza tonight.

Re: Forza?

Same here. I noticed a definite difference from the average H2 player.

Re: Forza?

I plan to get on tonight, last night before i lost my levels in halo i played some forza and unlocked a few more cars. The races im getting into now are getting pretty long, so i guess its time to get my drivatar more skilled so he doesnt keep screwing up around turns. Lookin forward to it.

Re: Forza?

Actually, the way bigg JDOGG has been talking it up, I\'m looking forward to playing it. I had gran turismo aspec and played it out.

PS.. Does anybody know where to get a decent, not in ear headset other than the default? Mine is now broken and I\'m thinking of knocking out two birds with one stone when I get this game

Re: Forza?

Re: Forza?

ghostofchurch,
Unfortunately, the Forza forum has lost most of its traffic as of late. Hope to see you around in the other forums.

Re: Forza?

Yeah, why has nobody posted in these forums in a long long time?

Re: Forza?

I think this game will look great in 720p.
