Well, what an absolutely disastrous end to what was another phenomenal series of Origin. The level of interest in it has exceeded my expectations, and paves the way for an even better, more exciting 3rd season, which is in the works right now. I'll say that the new series will feature 2 new tracks and for the first time, 3 different cars for each race. More details are coming soon.
I was really looking forward to tonight, up until I was told at 7:30 I had to be the drunk cab. As you'd expect, I was furious. Not getting home until 8:45 was NOT what a I planned to do, and considering I made the boys wait that long, I deserved all the misfortune I received during the race.
We did not deserve, however, the usual PD bull
we sadly now have to expect
time after time. They need a serious wake up call, to have this many problems on these servers is simply unacceptable for a 1st party company directly linked with Sony. One of the reasons I can't wait to pick up a PS4 Project Cars bundle. It's impossible to race competitively like this.
Not to mention the truly shocking lag compensation of the game. Funny how 3arc, EA, Rockstar, Nintendo, and games made by others online don't seem run into such problems like, I don't know, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE YOUR COMPETITORS?!? Really PD? What excuse is there for that? Yes, GT6 is a very demanding game but that is pathetic. I don't buy for a second it is my internet, because, it's fine (after Serge worked his magic). And I can't afford to purchase modem after modem for one game. I have no tolerance for that.
Anyhow, the tribute lap to our Diggers was incredible, the only thing it lacked was The Last Post. Very moving, cheers tb for the idea.
I really stuffed up my qualifying big time, which was irritating because I knew this was a strong track for me. I guess going in with no practice laps prior and still seething from the events could be my excuse.
So, dead last, I got a great start, and muscled my behind tb in somethingth postion, but some awful throttle control put me down. I kept seesawing up and down the field due to a combination of great speed and costly errors, but the fights were fun. I do recall one overtake I put on Haze that I dearly loved to have seen again on replay.
About halfway through, I was starting to think that I could make some ground after the pit stop phase, but wouldn't you know it? I disconnected, precisely halfway through. Thanks for one final kick in the
balls PD, you useless twats.
But anyway, congratulations to MINT on becoming the first non QLD driver to win an Origin race. That leaves it at 5-1-0-0.
But still, 2 series' in a row for QLD, which honestly isn't surprising considering the lineup they have. But, to be the best, you have to recruit the best. Well done to Mustafur on another Origin title, which you wont be defending next time, because the Driver's Championship is going to be scrapped. I'm seething at my team scoring no points thanks to PD, the Outsiders should NEVER have outscored us. But well done regardless.
Cheers to emmo, razor, scotty and stu for your service, and I hope you'll put your hands up for series 3. And thank you to everyone who participated for making this the best community series in ROOZ (probably a biased opinion, lol).
Series 3 will likely coincide with the real State of Origin, if not, sometime later in Winter, but for now, congratulations Queensland!
Cheers, Jono.
