Anyone here into this online racer? It's a lot of fun, with an emphasis on user made tracks. Anyone can make them, though I tend to just stick to racing.







Any TMNF users here? What's your ranking. I'm around 190k in the world and 58th in Thailand. Just working my way up.

If you're on there, look me up under 'fauxie'.

FAIL

Surely someone here is playing this. There's something like 4 or 5 million people worldwide playing it.

I was looking for a game like this recently. I will download it and give it a try.

It's a lot of fun. They have offline tracks where you try to get bronze, silver and gold medals for increasingly quicker times. This kinda gets you into it. The online play is more fun though. Lots of crazy tracks, quite difficult in places, but you soon get used to it.

I find it impossible to believe, not that my thread has failed, but that with there being so many millions of people playing this game that none of them are on the org. I know a lot of you guys are well into your gaming too!

I'm now 49th in Thailand and 162,095th in the world. I feel sure someone here can give me a run for my money though!

I'll be there shortly...

I LOVE a good race game (currently deeep in to NFS: SHIFT!)

Did you do the solo medals tracks then? Lawd, they get so tough towards the end. I stopped at 129 medals because I was getting into playing online (and because I just couldn't get gold on some tracks no matter how hard I tried! )

Fauxie said:

I tried most if not all tracks, but certainly didn't get gold on everone. there are a few that really bugged me and I spent hours to beat some bloody record on one damn track

Lecram43 who just added me, you're an orger, right? Name sounds familiar... a chatter?

Fauxie said:

it's me. played it now for some days, you're way too fast

LeCram said:

You were doing alright though, getting quite a few points I noticed and finishing top 16 nearly all of the time on that busy server, which always guarantees some good points. You're not going to stay at 900k for long, methinks!

I've been playing a couple of weeks. It's all just getting used to it really.

finally dloaded it!! let me get in on this isht for realz yo!!

been playing for 2 hours straight now and all I can say is...









you bastid!

It's a lot of fun, no?

37th in Thailand, admittedly out of just 1,947 players.

141k out of 3.4 million in the world rankings.

Still moving up so haven't peaked yet.

Fauxie said:

It's freakin' EPIC!! I love the tracks, I love the graphics(for a free downloadable!!), even the physics are good(not too real but HELLA FUN!!).

Even my wife looked over my shoulder and was all, "Oooh I wanna play!"

also, with a Logitech gamepad the game rules!! I see a vision of many sleepless nights because of this...

RenHoek said:

Yep, I love the nice crisp graphics. Runs nice and smooth on my net too. I just stumbled on it one day and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I'm stuck on keys - killing my wrist! I have to force myself to not play some days so that I can rest it and play the next day.

Fauxie said:

Dude get thee to a gamepad shoppe like right NOW!!! They're only like 1000 baht!! If the calculators are correct!!

Write to Santa for god's sake... that game is crazy fun with a gamepad!!

RenHoek said:

I was thinking about that last night actually. The thing is, I'm so used to keys, and that game requires such precision with the controls, I'm scared I won't be as good on a gamepad.

Think I'll have a bit of a blast now. Aiming for 30th in Thailand by the end of today.

Fauxie said:

sorry, all us dorks are on the Star Trek thread right now.

NDRU said:

Where are you at, org gaming nerds?

Can't just be me, RenHoek and LeCram, surely. We need more org players!

Fauxie said:

Here I am!

Jk. It looks cool tho.

slimhustle said:

It's very cool. Just got beaten by LeCram on one track. Definitely need more orgers.

Up to 29th in Thailand.

Fauxie said:

eat dust

LeCram said:

I'mma look you up next!!

LeCram said:

Yeah, flipping through the air on some crazy track where you had to fly off the top of one of those wall runs...
