Okay, so picture this... it's a piece of road where overtaking is allowed. The Scania ahead of you is driving slowly. You don't have a trailer and the Scania indicates once that you can overtake it. You see the road ahead is clear on the opposite lane so you speed up and go for it but suddenly an incoming truck shows up. You don't have enough speed to make it past the Scania so you are forced to return to your lane so you do so! You hit the brakes to slow down and go back but as you do so, the Scania abruptly swerves into the opposite lane (the one you are on) and cuts you off, forcing you to brake even harder and almost losing control. And because it turned, it's speed dropped just enough to preventing you from changing lanes without hitting it and because you couldn't change lanes in time and the Scania cut you off, the incoming truck is also forced to slow down, even coming to a halt. And then he calls you an idiot despite the fact that if the Scania (who initially told you could overtake) hadn't blocked you off, you could have safely returned to your lane before the other truck would even need to slow down.

So, I booted up my copy of 007 Goldeneye for the Wii on my Wii U to play a little (been quite a while since the last time I played this game) and, before I began, just for the lols, I decided to go on the online multiplayer to see what would happen. After all, in case you do not remember/know, the Nintendo Network has been shutdown about two years ago, so I got curious to know what sort of message I would get for attempting to connect and play this game online. And you know what? It worked!! O_o And there's quite some people still playing Goldeneye!

I was like...

But happy, nonetheless! The easy explanation for this "miracle" should be simple, though: Goldeneye's online functionalities run on its own developer's systems instead of GameSpy's, as it was with Nintendo's. Neat!

Last Crashes Compilation came out about a week ago and I should be doing the next one this weekend, though I probably won't be until the next week. I've other things I need to attend to. So, just to be nice I will leave here a few report videos that haven't been shown in any episode before for you to enjoy. So, enjoy!

P.S: The people featured in these report videos have been banned. c:

Quick question regarding the following rule:

Bullying/Harrassment - Ban

Leaving abusive comments on report videos and otherwise continually harrassing users.

I had a guy who I got banned leave a couple insults on the report video that got him banned. Where do I file a report for that? Should I use the default report system on the site or is there another method for this kind of report?

My reports got three people banned in less than 24 hours.

I am happy. -3-

Last night I was passing through Barstow (on US#1) when I decided to do a quick stop at the local repair shop to tend to my car. At the parking lot of the facility was a group of Mexican players hanging out, just chilling and minding their own business, but there was this one kid in a pink truck who, for whatever reason, decided to harass them with racist, xenophobic and homophobic phrases (which I won't quote here for obvious reasons). The group was upset, passing players (who seemed to be American) were upset, and even I was a little upset by his behavior. What a little prick!

Now, guess who was recording, caught his ID and filed a report? c:

Oh, and he won't be playing on multiplayer for a couple weeks now, thanks to my report and our good admin, @JeffSFC, who quickly (and properly) handled the report. Thanks man!

Remember a couple weeks ago when I said I had just made myself R$ 1321.53 poorer? Well, here's why:

Welp.. Legends of Equestria's last OSW has ended, sadly. I guess it's back to normal life for me, now.

...

How boring.

Meh.

Truck Simulators Multiplayer Crashes Compilation 25 is out!

How often/quickly does feedback e-mails get read/handled? Do they ever? Is the feedback e-mail the best (if not only) way to file a complaint against an admin, for example? Or would that still be by messaging Clark?

Ok, so quick notice to anyone who messages me to send their videos for the series: I don't normally reply to submission messages but I do check them all! So please don't think that I am ignoring you. Because I am not!

Also, I do take a while to open each PM but not because I am ignoring them (again, I don't ignore anyone) but because I like keeping them unread until the time of a new video. That way I can make sure I won't forget to check them (after all, the notification will remain visible to remind me. And mind you, I am quite forgetful).

So yeah. Submission PMs are not replied but they are checked.

I've done it. I've just made myself R$ 1321.53 poorer. Now I just have to wait a few days and hope it was worth it. More details in the future.

So, about that last report of mine that got declined in LESS THAN ONE MINUTE after it was registered... the video evidence alone is 1:38 minutes long, the report was registered at 17:37 and closed down at 17:38, which means the admin (whose name I won't mention) spent less than one minute reviewing it and couldn't possibly be giving a single bit of attention to it. He closed it down as declined and said "no ban reason". Well, I called BS on that, filed a complaint and remade the report, asking for another another to review it and give it proper attention as all other admins have ever done with my reports and guess what? The job was properly done this time. The report was properly reviewed by an admin doing his job right. The report was accepted as it should have been. Thank you @MrHarv . You da man!

Ok, so here's a tip for everyone:

DO NOT STOP YOUR VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREAKING ROAD! Parking spots and the hard shoulder exist for a reason!

And above all... NEVER Alt+Tab while moving. NEVER!

Got my car's clutch fully repaired today. Now it's all good to go.

Long day of work, lots of stuff to do and yet I couldn't manage to finish it all. It is now 8:05 PM and only now I could get home. It was already past 6PM when I was driving back home, going down the street heading outside the downtown area when upon stepping on the clutch and shifting into 3rd gear after a speed bump, the clutch cable snapped and the pedal plunged onto the floor, leaving me stuck on 3rd gear downhill. Thank God, though, there was a bunch of free parking spots on my right so since I was already driving on the right lane/slow lane, I simply had to apply the brakes and pull up. To prevent the gearbox from taking any damage from the engine's rotation as I stopped the car I shutdown the engine as it came to a full stop. I am not sure that's how I was supposed to do it but better safe than sorry!

I will now go to bed but not before leaving this here for you, folks.

I'm just gonna leave this video here and head to bed. Good night, everyone!

FYI, the production of Crashes Compilation 25 is currently in progress.

Check out what just arrived in the mail for me (sort of).

I think Derpy is the one who delivered my comic book, today. Instead of arriving at my house, it was delivered to a school about six or seven blocks down the street. Someone at Amazon made a typo on the number of my house and wrote "77 0" instead of "770". And the person doing the delivery wasn't bright enough to understand the number so it ended up there. Thank God my cellphone number was on the receipt, though. The school called me about the package and I went there to fetch it. lol

Reminder: I am still accepting submissions for Truck Simulators MP Crashes Compilation! And Compilation 25 will come out soon!

- The video must not have been previously edited and it must be a single clip (no compiled videos, please);
- Preferably without copyrighted music, otherwise I will either have to mute it not use the video at all;
- The video must be in 720p or 1080p. 480p may be accepted but only if it is not too blurry;
- The video must NOT contain any watermarks. I do have my own on this series and you will already be getting your credits on the screen;
- Please do inform what name you want to be called in the video so I can give you credit for the video clip you send;
- Only YouTube uploads will be accepted for now.

To send me your "dashcam" footage all you gotta do is send me a PM (Private Message) here on the TruckersMP forums. That's the only way I will be accepting submissions until further notice.

NOTICE: All the footage you submit that is made available in the Crashes Compilation series can be used as evidence for reports by anyone if they so desire, so be mindful of your driving and mistakes and do not blame me if someone you crossed in-game uses any of my videos against you. I am not responsible for it other than my own mistakes.

I probably have simply looked in the wrong places but I am tired after a long day of work and I can't find it so I will just ask: Does anyone know what is TruckersMP's feedback e-mail address? I have a sort of issue to discuss so I need that address. Or is it done through that "Contact Us" on the bottom of the page?
