Title: Dirt 2 Friday 5/24 at 9pm!
Post by: Czar on May 22, 2013, 10:24:53 PM: (http://i.imgur.com/pQIOKST.png)

This Friday (and perhaps Saturday) night at 9pm Eastern, FITES will be playing some Dirt 2 (FITES Style, of course). Be read on Teamspeak (ts.fites.net) at 9pm for the fun.

If you don't have the game installed, don't wait until the last minute as it's several gigs.

RSVP in this thread!

Post by: MahoneyRed on May 28, 2013, 08:54:04 AM: With the way FITES plays dirt2 I'm surprised no one has latched onto the burnout series: http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/)

Post by: Broken on May 29, 2013, 08:07:04 AM: I tried getting them to run a few times but every machine I tried it on, it ended up doing really weird things to my graphics drivers. I am talking system restore required kind of weird.

URL SNIPPED

I did a Win 98 VM and ran Grand Theft Auto on it without a problem. Was kind of cool.

With the way FITES plays dirt2 I'm surprised no one has latched onto the burnout series: [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/[/url] ([url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/[/url])

I purchased Burnout during one of the recent sales. Also just purchased Flatout and Flatout:UC.

Post by: Mr.Tibbs on May 29, 2013, 04:13:12 PM: I am interested to see what kind of packages you can buy from the kickstarter.
Title: Re: Dirt 2 Friday 5/24 at 9pm!
Post by: decepticon on May 30, 2013, 09:53:33 AM: We really should play Flatout: Ultimate Carnage. It's cheap, it's waay more fun than Dirt 2 (at least the way we play) and it's a pretty good looking game considering it's 5 years old.

Title: Re: Dirt 2 Friday 5/24 at 9pm!
Post by: decepticon on May 31, 2013, 02:11:22 PM: I am trying to get more people to buy this game or install it if they already have it. It uses GFWL so a steam version is not necessary.
