Lighter moments while gaming...

You are probably asking yourself "What does he mean?"

Over the weekend while playing MotoGP I induced Valentino Rossi into a vicious high side accident :D

Hey-that's racing.....

Any one have similar experiences?

I once took my team mate out in Formula 1 CE on PS3.
No constructors points... woops

All the time. While playing the old skool toca 2 the other day, I went the opposite way round at Thruxton and had a head on lol. Always doing this in other games though

I caused almost the entire field to crash at the first turn of the first lap at Monza while playing SBK 07. Starting from 4th I moved to the left and crashed on the other front row riders, we all went down and the rest of the field crashed onto us.

In either MotoGP 3 or MotoGP 4 for the PS2 it was easy to make your opponent run wide or highside. If you were next to him going into a turn he would often try to outbreak you and run wide into the gravel or if you were very close behind him coming out of a turn he would try to go on the throttle earlier and highside.

Taking out a field of '60's F1 Grand Prix (GPLegends) on the 1st corner gets the heart going..

(as I remember it, it happened 2 years ago)
Game: F1 Challenge
Track: 1999 Malaysia
Event: On a race with quite a few retirements already, Coulthard is first, M.Schumacher is second I'm third on the other Ferrari. With 6 laps to go, Coulthard's engine fails and he suddenly stops in the middle of back straight, Schumacher brakes heaviky but I don't do it that heavily, result: I crash into my team-mate, and he ends up wrecked blocking the track together with Coulthard, while I'm "flying" into retirement, Ralf Schumacher, Frentzen, Barrichello and Herbert get involved in the accident.
Damon Hill wins the race followed by Alex Zanardi and Ricardo Zonta :eek:

Backside being that I fail to score points so the gap with Hakkinen stays at 11 points with one round to go... so that was the way I lost the 1999 title

I bet Valentino wasn't too happy about that! good for you, video-games don't have after-race pit discussions :p

Always used to love playing TOCA2 and swerving towards people to make them spin. The Peugeot's always seemed to do it really easily but I much preferred it when a Nissan went spinning. For some reason me and my brother called it Scamping.

Hands up, I do this as well. Especially on TOCA World Touring Cars - at the end of the Championship, take your rival out!!

On another note - whilst playing WRC II Rallye Deutschland - as Francois Duval, leading, then going off on the penultimate stage!! (Quite possible)









But still taking the win. (Not likely)

I would pick up that Italian wimp and break him, just like that :laugh:

[jso1985]

you have never fought against an Italian, don't ya? :p

When loosing patience with CMR DiRT I'd occationally hit the barriers with spectators standing behind them, as they will scream and cover their faces if you crash hard enough in front of them :D

Too bad Codemasters killed a game with such great potential..
