2nd Childhood, video games....
« on: Saturday,February 21, 2015, 12:16:53 AM »
Hi folks,

My wife would say it can't be second childhood because I haven't finished the first one yet, but hey, I'm old enough not to care any more.

Anyway I stumbled across this video on youtube this morning and I think I'm going to need a playstation in my life. Clearly they have come on a long way since I last had one, just look at the details in this in-game footage. It's titled "Project CARS : Spa-Francorchamps Historic - Lotus 49 Cosworth Race 2 Laps (Build 438)" and you're passenger in a Lotus.

Not very realistic, it wasn't raining on half the circuit, and the car didn't get airborne at Eau Rouge.

F'ing long circuit in those days. Do they do the long Nurburgring track as well? That takes some memory, just ask Sabine Schmitz, in fact I would like to ask Sabine Schmitz just about anything.

I love the look on my kids faces when I show them what was around when I was a teenager,
all you needed was a pocket full of quarters & a ride to a place called "The Arcade".  :FUNNY:
