RIP old PC's primary hard drive. :'(
Now I gotta find another IDE hard drive to replace it.

I'm feeling bored and I've got a light headache that some people with bad mics gave me on ETS2, earlier. I have a commission to work on but I am not in the mood for that. I might play around with some old operating system in a VM for a while, I guess.

I never understood why sometimes it sounds like they have super bad quality mics... But I'll tell you a quite interesting scenario:
I was once driving on ATS with a guy who speaks French. Being in a Skype call, sometimes I could hear echos and some sounds that came from his speakers. There was another guy speaking French in the CB, but for some reason, it was loud and unclear. Although... I could hear it better from the speaker of my friend via the Skype call.
So that makes me think the "bad quality" might have something to do with different locations... Although, quality vary, and there was times I could clearly hear and understand people from France, or Australia for example.

Got two new ATS videos uploaded and ready to be watched. Though I'm keeping them Unlisted for now. I still need/want to make their thumbnails. :\
-
I haven't reported anyone in a while. Hmm... I think I will go to Death Road, tonight.
-
I decided to try out recording directly to .mp4 instead of .avi to see how much of a difference that would make on file size, frames and overall image quality so what best way to it than with some high speed on an empty server with several changes of camera while keeping an eye on that Players Near You list for safety, hm? What could possibly go wrong, again?!

MP4's fine but AVI still seem to be the better choice when it comes to image quality. I couldn't help but notice some blurs/smudges here and there on tests with MP4 while AVI keeps it all really clean and sharp, though at the cost of extra weight in the file.
I don't, either. Only on specific occasions and only IF I deem it safe enough. That's why, whenever I do do it, I either keep the players list on-screen all the time or I check on it constantly. That way, if someone comes into my range, I have enough time to slow down to a safe speed in order to avoid any potential accidents.

SCS missed a pretty good opportunity to do on France what they did on Arizona, in ATS: Hide a race track. Tucson has one. The France DLC would be the perfect excuse to hide a track near Le Mans. 'Cause you know... the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. I don't mind not having a track in ETS2 and don't really care. I'm just saying they missed the opportunity to do for ETS2 what they did for ATS.

The new game mode looks so cool!!

Help me, please?
I was browsing through my music folder and I found this MP3 named "Raimbow" (yes, with an M) and upon listening to it I remembered it was a song I had on a cassette tape many years ago. To be exact, I put the song to play and with a cable hooked from the headphones jack in the cassette player to the mic jack in the computer, I recorded the song to MP3 but that's as far as my knowledge about this song goes. I have absolutely no idea whatever happened to that tape and I would like to know what this song is actually called and who made it.
So my question is... do you have ANY idea what this song might be and who made it?- Show previous comments 6 more

@Mike Dragon sorry got a bit mixed up.. it's meant to be spelled "Shazam", not "Shahzam"... I suppose I watch too many CS:GO matches because there is a professional player by the nickname of "ShahZaM"
-
T'was a fun convoy! But very weird. NCZ all over the map! It was good for there have been bumps and whatnot but honestly? I didn't really like it.
Anyway, here's some screenshots of the event! I got lost at a roundabout, and saw lots of familiar faces and smashed my face on a toll accidentally.
-
In position and on my way to MP. I am pretty certain I will have to find somewhere else to park, though, for that area will be crowded.
-
Have any of you ever read any of the books from the Wings of Fire series? If so, did you like it? Would you say it's worth the money and recommend me? I haven't read any good book in years and these seem interesting.
-
A little photo shoot after a very nice drive from Osnabrück to Sheffield through Europoort and then to Manchester with @HerrSwizz.
I took a couple more from other angles but I got distracted and forgot I was in Photo Studio mode so they ended up messed up a little. How, you may ask? I pressed F12 instead of clicking on the Take Picture button. :I How dumb is that!?
Get better soon, man!
-
It's Friday, my working day is technically done. I think I will chill on ETS2 for a while after I am done slipstreaming some updates into this Windows 7 ISO. Would rather chill on ATS but servers are quite empty at this hour. :\
-
One of my friend told me his ping gets high too during certain time of the day, and he's from Netherlands... For me, I never realized any ping spikes except for only one exceptional day when I was on ATS. I was driving with another friend and we both noticed our ping would get very high for very short period of time, but we didn't get kicked surprisingly.
-
Steam bugged out pretty bad, this morning. After the last update it required me to login again again (I had it set to autologin) but it refused my Steam authenticator codes. D: I had to cycle through several codes until it accepted one.
-
Remember when I mentioned I wanted to do a short playthrough of Gulman? Well, I did. :I
-
I just found this video and for whatever reason, it made me a bit emotional.
And to think that on the one day that guy decided, for the first time ever, to overtake his friend, such action was the defining move that decided whether his best friend could die or not. I know this is a old thing but God bless these two!
-
I wish SCS would talk about the bus/coach simulator DLC for ETS2. Either news on the progress of the project or to inform if it has been cancelled.
We've had the stations and stops for ages, now, but no word on the buses since way before ATS's development was announced. (Don't even think about suggesting bus mods, please. I don't care about mods. I want the real deal.)

@RootKiller, my good sir... that smile better mean something really good!! O-O
-
I've got Gulman (yes, that awful and weird Russian game) to work a couple weeks ago. I want to make a little playthrough video on it with commentary/my reactions. What do you think?
-
If the cars on MP had a promo ad when they were released, this could have been it.
Kudos to whoever catches the pun I made there.
-
I've done a delivery to Tucson then I decided, as per usual, to hang out and chill by the race track a little. Little did I know this was going to be track day so I spent the following three hours racing around the track with some random people. It was fun.
-
For whatever reason I decided to deliver through Death Road (Brussels-Hannover). Though I had many near-misses and several moments in which I had to "throw" the truck off road, I am I surprised that I actually managed to finish the trip with 0 damage to the trailer and the cab.
-
Yeah, I too would say I got lucky, this time. I like that road but I no longer like driving through it. Too much madness. Good for getting footage for my series, though. But it can provide too much footage. I need/want variety. Definitely not going to fill up an episode with a bunch of DR clips. Booooooooooooooooooring!!
-
Every time I DON'T want to drive through Death Road, all the loads I want to take will always have their suggested route going through that road. Every time. But when I DO want to drive through Death Road, I can never find a single load that will suggest that road as a route. Every. Single. Time.
