Why do you think your age matters?

I'm totally frustrated by ageism. As someone who writes for and often interacts with teens, I get to see all the time how smart and insightful teens are. I go to visit high schools and they have the most brilliant questions and observations. And yet here on the forums and in chat, there's a lot of discussion about why age should matter. It goes both ways. I've had people say things like "You're too old to understand my brilliance" or "The older generation is biased because..." I honestly think that, if you're serious about writing -- or any craft -- and you want to learn, age doesn't matter. People are sensitive at all ages. And we all learn in different ways. But why the hell does AGE keep coming up in these discussions?
Here are some recent things I've seen here in the lit forums (paraphrasing):
Young writers don't have the life experience to write well.
I'm a teen, so I shouldn't be held to the same standard.
I'm in my forties, why would I want to read YA?
Teens are too immature to take criticism.
I'm only sixteen, what do you want from me?
I'm thirty, I know more than other people because I'm thirty.
Teens don't understand my writing./Older people don't understand my writing.
Why are you so mean to me, I'm only fourteen!
Your opinion doesn't matter because I'm older than you.
DISCUSS. Why does age matter? Or not matter?

I hate ageism too. It's been a pain, especially at one point as a game writer. Had this 28 year old who made my job a nightmare. And here's the funny thing -- I had more published and better quality material than he did. I told people about his work and gave quotes and they thought it sounded horrible. And yet, he was put in charge of the writing for the game, whilst I was the only employee under him. There was one other guy, but I think he got smart and quit early on. And it sucks, because I loved the game I was working on, but I couldn't put up with so much BS for a volunteer project.

I think that time does equal experience to some degree since people live a long time after 19. Because people live long after 19, usually, there is a massive lack of teenagers authoring the majority of good books on Goodreads. Though this is just a generalization, I don't have a Goodreads account because I think its a Pokemon rip-off. Writing is a pain. You can spend years working on a novel, trying to get it to be exactly what you want it to be, and waste money on expensive coffee. But then you find out you only know English, and you've been living in a Spanish-speaking country, and you have to start all over again while your being threatened to be deported where your novel could sell. Worst of all it would be to people who don't even know what cecina is.

I believe it does matter what "age" one is, not the biological age, that is. That doesn't mean, that age is some kind of border, but more of an inspiration among many. It influences some more, some less, but nobody isn't.
Oh, and it has nothing to do with quality, except that younger writers likely have less experience, as they just haven't had as much time as older ones.

If you look at it in the publishing world age does not matter at all, there's been eight year olds published but of course their work were children books with only a few sentences.
I'm indeed fourteen and a writer myself, I try hard to make my writing as best as possible and if I get a bad comment I don't whine about it and fuse because that was what I was looking for, people to tell me exactly what they thought about my writing, I wasn't looking for complements I was looking for mistakes and anything I need to keep doing/stop doing.
I hardly ever get feedback on any of my writing, if I'm lucky I'll get one feedback message on it, but lots of reads.
I do hope to be published one day, and I do know for a fact that right now my writing isn't really publishable because I'm so rushed, and I do intend to go back and re-write most of my books for when I'm ready to go up and send my query letters to publishing companys.
I do feel the age thing sometimes, older people sometimes thinks we're not ready for such things and won't read or give feedback that is actually helpful if they see our age sometimes. But really and truley it only matters on how much the writers put in to their writings and how much they love doing it and strife to do better. Not age.
I try to reach out to as much people as I can, male, female, young and old with my books even though I am a Young Adult Fiction writer and that's what I will be going in as in the publishing word no matter if I'm sixty at the time.
And if you look at it not just teens read the YA books many adults do too.
Anyways age shouldn't matter at all just that persons didecation and love for writing, if other writers love writing also and they see a piece of work that hasn't gotten feedback good or bad they should try to help that writer with feedback and suggestions.

Being a teen myself sometimes it's really hard for me to find someone who will have a serious conversation with me or look at my as someone other than a shallow teenager. I don't like it when people use being a teenager as an excuse though. All teenagers are perfectly capable of doing some wonderful things. It's just that they don't realize it, and the people around them don't realize it.
During the months of NaNoWriMo, I really enjoy the group of people I see at Write-Ins because they are people that don't belittle me. Certain adults judge people my age based purely on age. I'm sixteen, so I have to be a whiny, shallow slut. This is something that seriously gets on my nerves.
No. Age does not matter. I hate when people find out how old I am and things I fit a certain stereotype. I believe that teenagers are capable of wonderful things I heard a story about someone who published when he was twelve years old. He's twenty-one now, and he's making a real difference in the lives of people around him. You don't have to be a certain age to do some wonderful things, you just have to have the motivation.

I really wish I could favourite forum topics.
The ageism thing is particularly irritating because it's done so casually. People talk about whiny teens asking for constructive criticism when what they really mean is "give me compliments!" and...that's irritating when anybody does it. Honestly, I can't imagine that the people saying these things actually check everyone's age every time it happens, so it gets to the point where, presumably, they think teens act like that because every time someone does it they assume they're dealing with a teenager. It's the same with graffiti and vandalism: any time it wasn't obviously someone else, teens get the blame.
To avoid the response that comes up every time I mention this in actual conversation, I'll add this: it doesn't matter if you
check the age of whatever whiny deviant you've stumbled across and it doesn't matter if they
a teenager every time. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't allow you to be casually ageist any more than it allows you to be casually racist.
It's obviously just as bad when it happens the other way around, but I've never actually noticed that being done so casually.

Yes, whiney response to critique is annoying no matter what. And 90% of the time, it's NOT been a teen, in my experience.

Thank you. Thank you sooo much for opening this discussion.
I do believe that age makes a difference in writing - maybe there are different themes, different views etc. - and I'm totally fine with that.
However, I do not think that artwork should be judged by that. Just because the theme is love (when it comes to a teenager), the poem doesn't need to be bad (I'll admit freely that many are, but this applies to older people just as much!)
What really annoys me about the age differences, though, is the constant underestimation. I hardly get that on dA as I hardly get constructive or any feedback at all, but I know from other forums how it goes. As an 18-year-old, I try to give constructive criticism and write a comment about twice as long as the original text - and people just IGNORE it - no response, nothing. Or, even worse, the arrogant "You're eighteen years old, wait until you're my age and you'll look at this differently."
SO ANNOYING! I mean, I spend hours to help someone out and I really don't care for the age, and this is all I get?
Same thing the other way round: Many people 30+ just don't seem to be interested in the text, and if they really do take the time to read it (against all odds), the comment I get treats me like a baby. Just as bad in real life.
I mean, of course there are some differences between the ages, but that's what makes it interesting and offers opportunities rather than limiting them or access or anything.
(Sorry, I'm a little touche when it comes to the subject.... Too many hours of critiquing in vain.)

I go out of my way to have teen beta readers, because I WRITE FOR TEENS. I know many authors who do the same. Teen readers/writers can be just as insightful -- if not more -- than their grown-up counterparts. Nobody calls you out on continuity errors like young readers!

Kryton International's Krystol Mortar Admixture transforms rendering mortars, usually applied to exterior building surfaces as finishes, into waterproof protection. When added to concrete mixes in brick and block construction, Krystol reacts to form millions of tiny needlelike crystals that block capillary pores and cracks. In the past, brick construction required surface-applied sealant for waterproofing, which was temporarily effective but chipped and flaked as a building aged—this admixture eliminates the need for those sealants. kryton.com

We learned this dance several weeks ago now and find when we go out socially and the song is played, some dancers are struggling with the choice of long, complicated, phrased dances that have appeared, and we dance TWO BY TWO which flows, is fairly uncomplicated and looks good, and everyone wants to know what it is called so that they can learn it too. Sometimes difficult is not always best.

Gold Drops On Speculation Fed Could Pull Support
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Gold prices slumped Wednesday on speculation that Federal Reserve officials could start pulling back on support for the economy before the year is out.
Minutes from the Fed's meeting last month showed that some central bank officials want to end the Fed's bond-buying program relatively soon, saying the costs could eventually outweigh the benefits. The Fed's stimulus effort has kept interest rates low and driven traders into precious metals like gold.
The news helped push gold prices down 1.8 percent. Contracts for June delivery fell $27.90 to settle at $1,558.80 per ounce.
Reports that Cyprus will sell more than $500 million in gold added to the selling pressure, said James Steel, chief commodities analyst at HSBC in New York.Traders often buy gold and other precious metals as protection against inflation. Low interest rates also support gold by making bonds less attractive by comparison. So, if the Fed takes away some of its support, "it's a negative for gold because it increases real interest rates and slows inflation," Steel said. In other trading, silver for May lost 22.8 cents to $27.653 per ounce. Industrial metals also fell. Copper for May delivery dropped 2.35 cents to $3.418 per pound. Platinum lost more than 1 percent. The July contract sank $23.30 to $1,529.80 per ounce. Palladium for June fell $12.15 to settle at $720.85. Prices for key crops were mixed. Wheat and soybeans dropped, while corn edged up. Wheat fell 12 cents to $6.9675 per bushel. Soybeans slipped 2.75 cents to $13.9275. Corn rose 4.75 cents to $6.49. In the market for oil and gas, crude oil edged higher, but gasoline futures sank after a report showed that demand for fuel in the U.S. remains relatively weak. Benchmark crude for May delivery rose 44 cents at $94.64 a barrel in New York. Wholesale gasoline prices dropped 8 cents, or 2.6 percent, to end at $2.87 a gallon.

Hampton man to face single trial for alleged child porn
BRENTWOOD - Prosecutors have won permission from a judge to consolidate two trials against a 22-year-old Hampton man facing charges that he recorded a sexual encounter with a young girl and posted the video on YouTube.
Robert Stephens, who is being held at the Rockingham County jail, will go on trial for the two cases on the week of June 17, a judge decided. The latest indictments against Stephens were handed up by a Rockingham County grand jury in December. Stephens was indicted on two counts of manufacturing child sexual abuse images, and single counts of attempted aggravated felonious sexual assault, and felonious sexual assault.
Stephens allegedly met a 14-year-old Massachusetts girl at a beach last May and later recorded her having sex with a 15-year-old boy at a cottage in Hampton, prosecutors said. Prosecutors say Stephens, then 19, used a laptop camera to record the encounter, and attempted to join in.
"(He) is seen on said video to have removed his shirt and to give the camera the 'thumbs up', " Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid said in court papers.
Prosecutors say Stephens was pulled away from the girl by another person in the room.
Hampton police began investigating Stephens on Jan. 19 after a Newbury, Mass. school resource officer told them that a female student complained she found a video of herself online, according to a police affidavit.
Reid argued that the recording of the video and Stephens' attempt to have a sexual encounter with the girl were a "single criminal episode."
"The subsequent posting of the video is logically and factually connected to the other charges," Reid said in his argument.
Investigators with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force were able to link Stephens to the YouTube account that had control of the video, a police affidavit says.
After recording the teenage girl, Stephens continued to contact her, sending her a message through Facebook, police said. In one message he told her she should "become a prostitute" and could "sell herself" for money, the affidavit says.
He also allegedly told the girl that "he wanted money" and could facilitate more sexual encounters, the police affidavit says.
"He stated he would 'set it up' so that she could have sex for money," said Hampton Det. Chris Gilroy in a sworn affidavit. Stephens allegedly told the teenage girl "it's not that bad," police said.
Stephens told investigators that he owned the video during a police interview and said, "I know I am going to prison," according to the affidavit.

Blockbuster 2.0 rebuilt with physical media rentals in mind
The new Blockbuster 2.0 iOS app (free, universal) is a throwback to the days of old. Specifically, the app is targeted to Blockbuster by Mail users, which allows people to rent DVDs and Blu-rays by post. When introducing the app in a press release, the company said, "Millions of movie watchers prefer the DVD and Blu-ray experience, and now Blockbuster customers can use their mobile device for added convenience and control over their entertainment experience."
The resulting app lets those users browse Blockbuster's 100,000-plus physical titles from the comfort of their smartphone, prioritize and organize those titles in their queue, view trailers and manage their Blockbuster in-store membership. And so you don't think Blockbuster is entirely holding on to the past, the company this month released another app, Blockbuster On Demand, that allows users to stream movies right to their iOS device.
Blockbuster is a free download.

2. Pregnant Scud - 20% of a trout's diet in still waters, at any time of the year, will be made up by scud (freshwater shrimp). This pattern takes a few key features that trout key in on including the use of an orange bead to represent eggs. Pearl UV dubbing is integrated for extra flash and visibility. Trout will also key in on scuds that have been infected with an intestinal parasite, turning their intestine bright orange. This makes them stand out against their surrounds and an easy meal, and is represented here by a strip of orange poly pro. We've tied this on a Mustad C49s which has a bend but also results in a relatively straight fly, which is important as scuds are relatively straight when swimming, and are curved at rest. Tie them in colours and sizes to suit your local conditions, fish them on a floating line with a long leader or a clear intermediate line.

8. Scudmarine Steelhead Nymph Pattern - Learn to tie a very effective steelhead nymph pattern. It may not be well known that pink scuds catch steelhead like crazy, but it's true. I've developed this pattern over the past four years and I'm very confident in it when fly fishing for steelhead. It is easily one of my top three steelhead nymphs. It is easy to tie, looks good in your box, and catches fish. Devin Olsen from Fly Fishing Team USA turned me on to fishing pink scuds for steelhead. He is one of the world's best fly fisherman and you can check out his blog http://www.tacticalflyfisherman.com/ for more great tips.

I just downloaded the Season Pass as I saw it was a much cheaper alternative to buying both episodes. Yet when I went to download the only option available to me is the Clash in the Clouds DLC. Can anybody help me out with this? I don't usually buy DLC so is it normal to have to wait a few days for Season Pass holders or am I working with a different issue completely?

Confessions of a Failed Young-Earth Creationist
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

Codemasters has just posted a teaser trailer for what appears to be GRID 2 on YouTube.
The clip drops an August 8 reveal, and contains the Twitter tag #theracereturns. Check out the clip below.
GRID 1 was good so i will get this for sure.
I was slightly saddened that Codemasters became a driving only studio, but then if they are going to revisit some of the better series they own then I guess im kinda ok with it.
Grid was great.
@4 to be honest, Codies just cant make anything else. Their last round of releases were way below average. This is why its best to stick to what you know – Codies are the masters of racing games and GRID was alot of fun on and offline.
I think GRiD was the best racing game out there. I've been playing the series since TOCA 2, and it's always been the most rewarding driving model in my opinion.
I just don't know what to think of Codemasters these days though. They're constantly taking shortcuts, trying to hide how simple their systems are, and that's really not what I want out of GRiD 2.
So, please don't fuck it up, I guess
@5 "Codies are the masters of racing games"
Hahahaha…. Hahahaha…. Hahahahahaha oooo man, TOO FUNNY!
"Their last round of releases were way below average."
According to who? Even their worst effort, bodycount, meta'd at over 50 (unless you're one of those people that thinks 7/10 is average).
@9 Does any gamer actually believe that 90% of the selection is comfortably above average?
I don't think most of those reviewers believe that themselves, and I think the overwhelming majority of people who tend not to see the insanity of that, are either industry execs or editors, in which case it's just hunky dory.
F**k yeah! This is how you make a teaser!
I was slightly disapointed with Grid. I enjoyed the hell out of the Live Demo. But once I got the game and got a few classes into it, the cars were so damn fast I couldn't actualy drive them. I was hanging on each corner for dear life. I think at leasta few folks felt the same way, the touring classes seemed to be the most played – they were also the easiest to handle.
Despite spending 14 years of my life behind a wheel in various race cars, I would rather play Mario Kart, Hydro Thunder, or some such other arcade racer then most half way serious racers today.
The reason is control.
Most of the racing field today(beit arcade one or sim) are little more then twitch games. Most don't even come close to recreating the actual feel of a race. There are some exceptions of course.
But at the end of the day with Grid I felt the damn thing was moving so fast I couldn't focus on my line or the other cars. Instead of actual racing…I was trying not to blink, and steady my thumb.
I am sure alot of you folks are going to disagree. But thats my take.
"Once I got the game and got a few classes into it, the cars were so damn fast I couldn't actualy drive them. I was hanging on each corner for dear life"
That's exactly why it's great though. A racing game that doesn't test your reflexes isn't much of a racing game.
It's not about enjoying the scenery, it's about holding on for dear life and only exhaling once you cross the finish line.
There are plenty of slow racing sims out there. Forza or Gran Turismo aren't likely to get your pulse up. GRiD delivers that edge where you're constantly pushing yourself as far as you can, without sacrificing any of the intelligence like Hot Pursuit.
It's the Ayrton Senna of racing games, in my opinion.
"That's exactly why it's great though. A racing game that doesn't test your reflexes isn't much of a racing game"
100% disagree.
Racing is about fighting other cars on the track. Track position, racing lines, etc. Racing is a suttle sport with monster machines. But few of todays racers think that way. Even the so called sim racers miss the mark. Sadly the bulk of racing games pit the player against a physics engine rather then other cars on the track.
That being said, I am not on some sort of crusade against racers. Just saying. Racing and playing a racing game are very different experiences, and that makes sense.
"Racing is about fighting other cars on the track. Track position, racing lines, etc. Racing is a suttle sport with monster machines"
So how do you do that when you're going 150 miles an hour? You think your way into the right position, the right shift, the right spot to brake?
The margins in most competitive motorsports are razor thin. The only thing that distinguishes a great driver from the winning one is his intuition and reflexes.
I think you have a way too romantic view of what those guys are actually doing. If you put a driver into a car that he isn't familiar with, he's going to do significantly worse than he would in one he knows. Controlling that machine is job one.
DSB, I raced as a both a kid and as an adult. I understand racing. Mind you I never drove Euro style races. But trust me, I am not romantic towards the sport.
But the major problem I find is that your not going 150MPH. In most games the simulated speeds(and subsquint reaction times) are far far beyond real racing speeds. They are, in most cases, accelerated for gaming. Plus I have yet to drive anything holding a 16button laden piece of plastic, using a thumb stick
There are video games. And there is real life. Some games do a great job at capturing and recreating the feel of stuff in real life. Racing games are alright. Fun. But most put too much attention on playing against blazing speeds, twitchy controls, and unessiscarly tough physics. Most place far less importance on the behavior of the other cars on the track then the do the shinny of those other cars on the track. It is a formula that works. But I find it to be more video game, and less racing then I would like.
And I am not one of those guys that thinks that Forza or GT are steller representations of the sport either. High end cars are almost always extremly tough to drive in most racers. Look at it this way. If I am playing FIFA, is the focus on controling my player or the pitch unfolding on the field? The game assumes your player can run, jump, pass and shoot. You are free to actualy play the game of soccer. Most racers never get to that point, your almost always stuck fighting the car/track/physics. The faster you car/class moves, the worse that ratio gets. the end result is that most racers seem to be moving towards a Burnout feel. Blazing on the edge control. Again, fun. But it isn't racing.
Maybe it is an example you can't relate to because of different markets, but I drove DIRT(no, not the game lol). It is a league in NA. Think Nascar, but on actual dirt. Oval tracks, small, faster then hell. So much power you get in and out of the corner with the gas. Your inside tire lifts out of the corner and doesn't touch the track till you let off of the gas 3/4 down the straight. Like I said, I undestand racing. Anyways, when it came out I had a great interest in Outlaw Sprint Cars for xb360/PS3.
The game looked great. Had most of what you would want in such a racer, but as your track times advanced the control diminished. To a point where I couldn't even stay with the pack, let alone kep out in front of it. Despite driving similar cars for several years. I tried it with my xb360 wheel, was even worse. The game never got the actual racing right because the speeds were too fast to react to in the game. 'Lest for me, I know my twitch ain't what it used to be.
Here is blaspheme to some, if you remove the videogame elements like jumps, short cuts, track hazzards, power ups etc from Mario Kart. then picked a GP curcit style track, you have a very good representation of actual racing. You don't have a racing sim or even a realistic recreation. But what you do have is racing. esp in MP situations.
If most games would slow themselves down and tighten control, you could have amazing racing. It doesn't matter if your driving a pod racer, Dirt Modified, F1, Touring Car, GoKart, or piloting a broom stick you would be racing one vehicle against another. Racing. Sadly very few games offer that type of experience today. Very few.
Keep in mind, there is no worng, no right. Just opinions, likes and dislikes. I enjoyed Grid, but found that in order to get the experience on track that I was looking for, I couldn't race the higher end classes. I absolutly loved the Touring Cars.
What kind of racing games do I really enjoy? PC games like the old Ratbag racers. The Dirt Track Racing franchise, for example. But good expeiences can be found here and there(good in my opinion). Like Codies F1, if I turn on the right driver assists, I can get a sense of control and with my wheel, the feel is fantastic. The AI is complete crap, but the feel of the car is great. I enjoying racing, I would race you in a Big Wheels across the drive way if we had the chance. I don't care. But for me, racing is something between drivers. if you can't handle the machine you shouldn't be in one going around the track. And that is why, like the soccer/FIFA example, I think that it should be a given that your car has better controls. I just want to race. Not swear at my controler lol.
I just fundamentally don't agree with a lot of what you're saying.
Burnout never tried to be a racer, it was an arcade game centered around watching stuff go by really fast and crashing cars, just like the Need for Speeds that came after it.
That really has no bearing on GRiD, which actually expects you to control your speed, hit the line, and respect the competition all at once (obviously depending on the difficulty you pick). It's technical driving, under pressure, just like you'd expect from a game centered around professional circuit racing.
I don't get the comparison to a football game, where you're playing as 11 different guys during the course of a match, and never actually sharing a perspective with any of them. It never tries to be the same thing as actually putting on a pair of trainers, and attempting to play on your own, as opposed to a racing game where the wheel is very much in front of you.
If you think it's too challenging or too fast, that's fair enough, but I don't see how that reflects negatively on the game. That's exactly what I'd expect when taking the seat in a high performance supercar, and that learning curve is part of the fun.
The main anology I have is simple really. What is the focus on the game? Are you siming the player or the sport? The driver(with little or no experience) driving a car or the car racing? If I am looking to race, doesn't it make sense that the driver of my car comes with the knowledge of handling the car? In the same way I don't need to move each leg, shift the weight, or worry about the intriqucies of moving and generaly being a soccer player. Every player on that team comes with that knowledge. As you would expect.
That is a general assumption that can be made, not neccessarioly reflective of one specific game.
And I bet we would have different opinions recieved if we asked different people. Personaly I don't want to play the role of a driver so much as the car.
Also, mind, I don't believe that Grid is a bad game. I think it just uses a formula that I would like to see tweeked. Instead of fighting the car and track, i would rather fight other cars. I believe that the knowledge of the car and track should be enherient much the same way I would expect my FIFA/Madden players to be able to handle being world class athletes with knowledge of soccer/football.
I understand you might disagree with me, DSB. And that is ok, I can respect someones opinion, even when I don't share it with them. But I hope I shed some light on what I was trying to say. If not sorry, it has been a high pain day, hard to collect my thoughts sometimes.
Wow! There is actually a person who disliked GRID. LOL!!
There is a difference between disapointed and disliked. Albeit slight perhaps. I never said it was a bad game.
@ OG what's your take on the GT Academy? That people who can perform so well in GT that they can get in a race car and compete?
Well, I think the assumption is that real driving is harder then the game. One is a video game wielding a piece of plastic, the other is driving a car.
Also fundamentaly most semi seriours racers do the right things. They have accurate physics. They use racing mechanics. They mimic racing very well. Not so much obviously for some games. The problem isn't so much in what they do, but the speed at which is done. Most games accelerate the speeds. That just makes good gaming.
I have spent some time in some high end sims. I had a chance to drive a really good Nascar one. Not the home video games, but the ones you sit in and are enclosed. The enitire machine shakes and recreates the feel of the track, etc. The speed of it was the first thing I noticed. It was slow compared to most games. Even pushing 175mph it was slow. I mean slow may not be the best way to describe. Your hauling 175mph. But the reaction times were managable. And the deadspot and "slop" in the wheel wasn't near as harsh as a simple game of Grid or even GT. The faster your car went, the less room your wheel can move before you see a result. thats just driving. I have spent some time on a track so that may have sckewed my take. When you do something enough, the process can slow down for you. Prolly why some folks can handle a game. But at the time I did the Nascar sim, I had been out of racing for several years.
Just think about the difference between a car, the steering wheel(with full force feedback), and actual peddles with resistance. And not think about a controler. Your gas/break have what a 1/4inch or 1/2inch to travel to go from rested to full. And your "wheel" is a tumb stick with the same slight movement ranges. That is hard. Very different set of skills used in a real car. I would challange anyone to drive 100mph plus with a video game controler. Just take out the wheel/peddle and use the pad instead.
Apples and oranges.
What GT academy does is teaches people the basics of racing principle. If you can drive a car, you can take that knowledge and apply it to a track. I mean anyone can be taught to drive. Also, as far as game speeds go, GT is a lot slower then something like Grid.
It prolly also should be noted that most video game wheels are crap. And won't enhance your game experience. When I used my xb wheel on Grid, I had a hella time. However there are some really good Logitech ones for PC. I haven't had the chance to use one on PS3, so I can't comment on them.
@22 I agree with most of what you say. The speed thing especially. But your right about getting use to it. Having GT run at 60 fps is fantastic. And the first time I played it I was like "man I feel like im hauling ass!" but it wears off. Something I've experienced in real life on my motorcycle. More intense of course..cause its real but similar. The acceleration forces beyond that of what you've felt before are overwhelming. But you get accustomed to it. The first time I broke 100 on my first bike my ass started to slide back on my seat. It blew my mind. But now I am aware of how it feels and have adjusted.
As for the controller bit I def agree. I like that GT gives the option to adjust the speed in which you can turn the wheel. Not realistic by any means but nice in that it's there to help you get it to feel the way you think it should. This a beef of mine with forza. I want a Logitech wheel so bad but my current setup in my game room doesn't accommodate.
As for the academy I think it's just a way for naturally talented folks that wouldn't have the means to start racing to show their talent. I think it speaks to GT psychics model and the tech PD has made. Its just interesting to me.
I enjoy GT as well, very good racer.
I think that speed boost (however subjective) is the only way to really give people a sense of what it's like to be in that seat.
Even if 150 miles an hour seem slower from a distance, there are a lot of things within that experience for the driver himself, that can't possibly be translated into a videogame. G force, which arguably generates a good deal of adrenaline, and the sheer physics of the machine in contact with the track.
I'd compare that with gokarts. For the guy in the seat, he might as well be piloting a jet plane. Everything happens so fast, but for people watching from a distance, it all looks very manageable.
With the TOCA series, I may not be feeling the geforce, but I do get a sense of how extreme it is to be in the cockpit.
@DBS have you played Shift2? If so what did you think? I'm a sucker for racing games but the shifft series is the only one I've never purchased. As a matter of fact I think the last nfs game I played was underground 2.
Yeah, I only have the original Shift. I can't say I'm impressed with it. It's somewhere between Forza and GRiD, but not in a good way.
Especially the handling of the cars feels extremely weird. Like they weigh a ton, and the power steering isn't working.
That's essentially why I haven't picked up Shift 2. The Underground series was really the last time NFS showed any teeth in my opinion. It boggles the mind why they weren't able to follow it up.
I think it's cause the whole "tuner, import, customizing" trends faded out. But I agree. Some of the best sound effects if I remember. Real clean. You ever play Tokyo Extreme Racer?
I agree with DSB on Shift, Slayer. I don't think you're missing much. I own Shift for xb360, and just bought Shift 2 on the Steam Summer sale. Haven't played too much of it yet, my old PC couldn't run it smooth, and I have yet to reinstall it on my new one.
On paper Shift should be awesome. It just doesn't deliver, imo.
Courisly enough guys, what is your top three racers that you enjoy the most?
Mine are:
Dirt Track Racing 2(Ratbag/PC)
Sega Rally Revo(PC/XBLA/PSN)
I pick mine on drivability not getting in the way of actual on track racing. I like to race wheel to wheel, bumper to bumper. I do not enjoy those kind of racers that have you basicly driving on your own against what amounts to a time trail with other cars.
Aww your killing me OG. Ok loop hole time
Single player racers
1. Tourist Trophy
2. Gran Turismo
3. Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero
Multiplayer racers
1. Project Gothom 2
2. Toca 2
3. Project Gothom 3
Arcade racers
1. San Francisco Rush 2049
2. Midnight Club Los Angeles
3. Need for Speed Underground 2
Good list Slayer, nice games.
That's a tough one OG.
Not to be a bastard or anything, but I'd put GRiD in the top spot. I've been playing the series since TOCA 2, and I just haven't found a better thrill.
1. GRiD
2. Need for Speed Underground
3. Rallisport Challenge 2
(4.) Project Gotham Racing
That's really leaving out a lot of great games, but I reckon those are the ones I've had the most fun with.
@DBS Yes! Rallysport Challenge 2! How had I forgotten. I mastered the shit out of that game. I got so good I'd get a turn ahead of my co driver A game I'd love to see revived, Auto Modelista. Get Crave and Genki to team up with Capcom and make an all out Cel-shaded anime-like drift/ circuit racer.
Rock N Roll Racing, hands down. Micro Machines for the Sega Megadrive was pretty great too, but Rock N Roll Racing was a beast.
I really don't understand why someone as filthy rich as Blizzard haven't just adapted those older games and released them free of charge.
lol, forgot Rock n Roll racing. In terms of pure fun, that one was hard to beat.

Answers to your small-business questions
Q: I'm trying to locate a product called Omniglow. It's a glow-in-the-dark, flexible tube sold at carnivals and fairs. Its ends can be connected to form a necklace. I have searched many business start-up magazines and mail order catalogs with no success-although I remember seeing them somewhere! Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Q: I have a fairly new mail order business that I have been trying to get off the ground. I have two Web pages and so far neither one of them has done anything. I got a few requests for catalogs from the first Web page, but no orders have come in. Can you give me any advice?

The World Wide Web, Ms. Stiffler, is a giant embryo that hasn't yet hatched as a major marketing medium. The typical Internet surfer enters the Web with a short attention span-finger poised on the mouse: "Gotta go! Gotta go!"
Therefore, the first rule of successful Internet marketing is: Stop the surfer in his or her tracks.
Having a presence on the Internet is a means, not an end. Surfers won't land on your site-even accidentally-unless you take these three quick steps:
1. Promote your Web site in other media. Ads in media aimed directly at your primary buyers will help bring surfers to your site. Find out which magazines, newspapers or television programs your customers read or watch and advertise your site there.
2. Establish "links" with similar businesses. This means their site will refer to yours and your site will refer to theirs. Don't worry about the competitive nature of links; the operative term here is synergy, as both sites will profit from the links. You might also buy " advertising banners"-these are strips (about an inch high and four or five inches wide) with powerful "teaser" copy that run at the top or bottom of a Web page. When a consumer clicks on one of these banners, they will automatically go to your Web site.
3. Offer a "special." Be sure your Web site offers at least one sensational bargain or deal that is not offered on any of your other advertising materials. Everyday business offers or standard catalog descriptions are too bland to attract business from surfers flitting from one Web site to another. Also, to ensure that your visitors return, change your "teaser copy" and special offer-and be sure to advertise that your "special" changes every week.
Unfortunately, in the very competitive world of online sales and marketing, even a professional-looking Web site, if isolated, is a marketing orphan that will probably starve. Follow these tips to make sure yours flourishes.
